When two bottoms, who have been dating for a while, didn't know the other is a bottom, and only find out once they want to do it...

Exactly my cup of tea.

It was so so close to being my first BL Manga with switches rep, but unfortunately didn't go that far. But it was teased at least, and they did talk about it (also kind of tried but not really)!

Otherwise a healthy relationship, where both want to make the other feel good and be safe. No alpha ranking or ownership-trope. Only chapter 2 had a bit of an icky moment, but they talked about it right away and it didn't happen again.
So refreshing for the BL genre!

The 2 bonus stories were a bit random, as they were 2 different one-shots with each different characters, who didn't have anything to do with the main couple (or maybe they do? The characters all look a bit too similar :')). But at least they had the same theme (sweet and consent), so I can't complain.

Recommendable!
