So, this is the first book that I read in the boys' love section, and also the first movie that I watched in that area. Expect me to say that this is really good because it hooked me and was literally obsessed with it. I love the overflowing fight for the balance of angst and fluff—and a push-pulling Shun. It's so realistic! I understand why he's like that. He's older and knows better. And I love how Mio came back all grown up and had nothing in mind but to build a relationship with that man. I mean, man, don't hurt the poor guy!

And expect me to say that this is phenomenal for me because it opened my eyes, that maybe homo relationships can really survive (I already finished the sequels, and yes, this review is late). So, I'm really thankful for this series.

By the way, Kii Kanna's art?! I spent a month trying to move on! I love her art so much that I find it hard to digest other manga and anime!

miłe, ale trochę za szybkie

I have never seen two gays this horny and dysfunctional but I am so invested in this!

rating: 2,75

Una vez más, no es para mí. La historia sufre de algunos problemas de ritmo (pasa demasiado tiempo como para apreciar los entresijos de cada personaje) y lleva muchos tropos por bandera; quitando eso, Kii puede enorgullecerse de haber creado personajes complejos con una buena dinámica de quiero y no puedo. El trazo es precioso; la ambientación melancólica y rústica, más aún. Simplemente busco más profundidad. Sé que muchos extraerán bastante de la historia y tampoco quiero quitarle eso a nadie; necesitamos más narrativas gay que traten con naturalidad y positividad una relación entre dos hombres. Solo suele ocurrir en manga, curiosamente.
