Wataru x Saeki !!! Literally so cute. It definitely made me cry a little but this was just so wholesome.

The truth is that I did not have high expectations because it is a one-volume manga and although there are some very good ones, most of them do not fully develop the characters and this is not the exception, even so I liked it, it is a beautiful story, i highly recommended for those who are starting reading BL manga

Una historia preciosa que toma un cliché sobre-usado y crea una trama entretenida. Los personajes son fáciles de querer por lo humanos que son, lo natural que se da todo, y aunque el final se adivina desde el principio, es igual una lectura muy bonita.

A beautiful story that takes an overused cliché and creates an entertaining plot. The characters are easy to love because of how human they are, how natural everything is, and although the ending is guessed from the beginning, it is still a very cute read.

UN CONTINUO DEGNO

Se il primo mi era piaciuto, il secondo ha quel non so cosa in più.
La storia rimane sempre la stessa (non bisogna aspettarsi chissà che movimento!) ma, essendoci personaggi più adulti, vengono affrontate tematiche diverse.
Anche su questo volume non c’è da dire molto; trama semplice e lineare, personaggi molto caratterizzati e l’estate sullo sfondo.
È proprio questa semplicità a renderlo bellissimo.

This is a really sweet manga, and the art is really beautiful. You won't find a manga full of sexy scenes, so if you want a more PG one, this is for you. Chiharu Saeki and Wataru Toda are two high school students who find that they both have the same hobby. They bond over their love for movies. One day, Saeki confesses to Wataru that he likes him but is fine with them staying friends, but he has one condition. He wants to spend his summer with him going on a pilgrimage to movie locations from their favourite films. I like that Saeki just wanted to remain friends and not push his view onto Wataru. I hate when one character forces their love onto them, so I loved the way it was done here. As they go on their trips together, they start to learn more about each other, and Wataru starts to become aware of Saeki more. It moves a long at a good pace. Then, when we get to chapter 4, so many things Saeki said and did make sense. I felt bad for Wataru then, but it gave him a reason to truly evaluate what Saeki meant to him. The letter in the last chapter explained how they first met, and it was so sad reading it. One thing, though, at the end was a bit hard to believe. I loved reading this beautiful story, and I'm off to read volume 2!

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley, and this is my honest review.

This was cute, but just didn’t have the story I wished it would have. Beautiful art, cute characters, but no real depth! Also, the plot twist was absolutely idiotic. I’d only really recommend this for people who just want to read an average mlm slow burn.
