Life’s struggles bring two men together as they teach one another trust, acceptance, and how to love again. Ethan lives a monotonous life trying to pay off his crippling debt—until the day Mike appears at the neighborhood laundromat looking the worse for wear. Both men find themselves struggling in different ways to go on, and it’s these struggles that bring them together in the throes of passion while simultaneously threatening to tear them apart.

What I liked
— The character art is gorj.
— It was nice to see some age and body diversity (even if only some body hair)
— The general concept was interesting.
What I didn't like
— I was uncomfortable with the lack of consent. Almost DNFed.
— The plot was barely there. The threads were real loose, y'all (maybe that's the trade-off for a standalone?). It touched on some heavy themes — poverty, crime, suicide, codependence — but didn't have much to say about them (or at all; pretty surface level).
— I'm no stranger to reading manga and following panels, but some of the panels in this I had absolutely no clue what I was looking at and couldn't even make sense of them using context clues. That might be on me though.
