I guess I'll keep walking while looking up at the stars.
Their works are always so soft, sweet and adorable. And this was no exception. I wish Yuuki Sora and Touno Kengo a wonderful life full of happiness.

Nagisa??? Are we ok, Nagisa??? Did you loose the fucking plot and finally remembered what you were writing by the end of chapter 4, Nagisa??????
This was probably my 3nd least favorite Nagisa original so far (I'm reading s&n right now and....), but it's fine. I think it had some cute moments and though the slow burn felt really slow it didn't bother me too much. By the end I was feeling a bit mid on this one but I will be rereading it when it finally come out in English. That being said, I got problems:
1). The story and characters felt a bit Junjo Romantica-y to me and I have mixed feelings about that because I've grown to have mix to negative feeling about Junjo Romantica <3.
2). I know I didn't mind the slower burn in this one, but it was mainly the run-around Sora and Kengo were giving each other that just felt pointless to me.
3). The topic of color blindness felt really half-assed. I feel like we only got 1 hint about it when they were talking about space in chapter 2 (I think) and then Nagisa just completely forgot that it was a topic of discussion until chapter 6 where it felt like it was so forced and rushed because she just remembered that was the point. So that bit actually pissed me off... a lot.

Hey, hey, hey!!!! I love this so much!!! I'm really weak for colorblind characters. Man, I was crying so hard when I saw the look on Sora's face as he was capturing the sky. I knew that look. I wept for Kengo, although I already have a hunch when Sora spoke with Shiori, but I couldn't scratch it very well. I really love this two so so so so so much.
And from the start, I was like: you go, boy! Push that weird stranger who suddenly kissed you! Go, run, run! And I like Sora's defense reaction to everything that Kengo does! You don't often see that in bl. Like, there's always gotta be this character who is weak for someone's kisses or something. I just love that Sora distances himself to reflect, and is aware that maybe he is just being manipulated if anything. It must be the age gap. But I also love that Kengo knows when to draw the line, and is guilty too for being hasty. Oi, that kiss at the end: "Because young Kengo-san is crying." Swoon worthy! My nose is bleeding!

A very sweet and slow paced story about a university student and the owner of a cafe. It's not particularly exciting or dramatic, but I actually love that kind of story the best.
