Description
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?
This 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.
Praise Me When I'm a Good Boy explores the dynamics of power, submission, and the desperate desire for affirmation. It's a story of finding one's place and identity, even when it means submitting to the unexpected.
