Made by the same author/artist so the art and writing is obviously similar. On top of that, they're both BL that start off with the MC getting a bad first impression of the LI. They then build up the romance in a very natural and human way. It doesn't feel forced and the chemistry is obvious in both cases. The stories are sweet and the couples adorable. There is no sexual abuse or dubcon.
