All right, so this was a weird one. A married man in 1919 can't support his sick wife and his children, so he goes to the nearest city and lands a job as a servant to a company executive. His master, however, rapes him on the first night he stays there. The married man realizes that this is part of his job, but as he learns to bear the atrocities for the sake of his family, he also uncovers the dark past of his master... and begins to care for him.
Then his wife dies, and he returns to take care of his children. Years later, the executive turns up and more-or-less asks if he can be part of that family because he loves the man. Their awkward past is kinda sorta reconciled, and the family moves into the city with the executive.
Right, so the plot is already strange, so the different art style seemed almost expected. It isn't bad, per se, but the executive man always looks way too soft in the face. The married man is very pretty, though... which as a downside made him look prettier than his wife. Awkwaaaard.
The characters were all right. They had noticeable motivations and weren't as confined to archetypes as most. But they certainly weren't elaborately designed, either. They escape dreadful and rise to adequate during the story, at the very least.
The sex is difficult to judge. I'm not sure whether to count the rape(s?) or not, but I'll just say that the one or two times it is consensual - unsure how many to count, again - it's decent. Not fireworks, but decent.
All in all, 29/40. Hmm.
Recommendation: Erm... if you like abusive relationships that turn sweet?
