So far, this is reminds me of Dorian Gray but instead of Basil pov, we see it from Lord Henry

 / HAVE MADE a. terrific find," Shunsuke wrote in his diary. "To have found such a perfect living doll as this! Yuichi is truly exquisite. Not only that, he is moraly frigid. He isn't addicted to circumspection, of which other youths smell like incense. He doesn't take responsibility for his actions in the slightest. The morality of this youth says, in short, 'Don't do anything.' Thus, once he starts to do something he rules out morality. This youth decays like radioactive material. He is truly the thing I had long wearied of searching for. Yuichi does not believe in the modern distress."
