People this made my heart grow 2 sizes. This is not necessarily for someone how isn't already a manga reader...but if you like yaoi or shoujo or slice of life AT ALL I would recommend this. The hook is that it's two lovers of BL manga but they are quite disparate in age. The book is truly about an unlikely friendship. This goes in my permanent collection and looking forward to upcoming volumes.

OMG this was SO cute.

A 75 year old picks up reading BL manga and starts talking it with a shy teen.

Seeing the two of them interact and learn about each other, while also sharing an interest in this manga is incredibly fun. Ichinoi's discovery and embracing BL stories is really cool to follow.

The art style is so pretty and lends SO much emotion.

The story itself is very much so an introduction, but I am already sold and going to read further.
