This story was so sweet and wonderful. I love how devoted these two are to each other. I love that they have friends and family that support them. It's a wonderful manga.

I had some issues with the first volume, and then I skipped the second, and then I get to see how it all wraps up in this volume.
I definitely wish that this series handled the more serious issues a bit better, as there are some sketchy ways the plot points are handled. Especially because it's really steamy and hot for quite a bit of it, and I do like that.
This series might be a good guilty pleasure, to be fair. I have a hard time letting myself fully even like it for that, though.


A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!

That was a great conclusion! I was thoroughly impressed by how this was wrapped up! It dealt with a lot of issues that were facing the two of them coming out to their families, friends, and just out in general.  I really appreciate their love and the relationship and how it grows! Also the smut was delicious!! As was that little moment of Romeo and Juliet

If you divorce vol 1 from the rest then maybe you’re set. Also vol 3 is probably the strongest of the whole series for me.

I was a bit disappointed how short the last novel was but holy cow was this series good. The beginning was slow but overall I would not hesitate to re read this entire series again.

As I stated from the second volume book review, I never had the chance to finish reading the series beyond the first book in 2019. I think that between the three volumes, that the second one is my favorite. I did enjoy the raw emotion from this volume, it felt like it was leaping off of the page. I'm so so happy that with the rough start Naoto and Taichi had from the first book was beautifully ended in the last book. I really am glad that I stuck around to see the ending. The scene where Taichi is talking to his mom about how his relationship with Nao is no different than a "normal" relationship really moved me. It was good to see both sides of the spectrum where they were not accepted and then accepted. It's very real and when they did feel love and accepted, I felt warm.
