Praise Me When I’m a Good Boy

Praise Me When I’m a Good Boy

High school teacher Watanabe has a secret—behind closed doors, he’s actually a Sub. Enraged when his fiancée leaves him because of his nature, Watanabe hooks up with his former student, Izumi…who just so happens to ooze Dom energy, and is also looking for a place to stay. Where better than at his new Sub’s house? Which means Watanabe’s going to have to figure out how to survive round-the-clock orders, all so he can be praised like the good boy he’s desperately trying to be…

A particular incident means that Watanabe can’t get away from him, but one day Izumi leaves and doesn’t come back. Watanabe doesn’t want to face his Sub instincts, but Izumi calls him “cute” and something starts to stir within him…
