I never caught this series when it was released before, and after realizing it was from Takarai (of Ten Count), I was definitely intrigued. It's clearly an earlier work, but still very good, and it's nice to have it all in one volume.
Seryo has started dating a different person every week, in an attempt to get over a past love. None of the romances have worked out thus far, and yet he keeps trying. On an impulse one day, Shino decides to ask him out when the new week starts. Because Seryo doesn't reject the first person to ask, he says yes. It feels like an impulse at first, and yet Seryo takes these possibilities serious, and soon enough both of them start growing attached.
This is definitely a sweeter yaoi series. Not very steamy, and actually not too dramatic, either. Seryo handles his emotions pretty maturely and analyzes his feelings as he goes. There's some minor miscommunication, and they don't discuss with feelings very straightforwardly. But things still work out rather sweetly, and without too much drama.
This was an easy volume to read, and very sweet. I'm glad they re-released it.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!

This was cute though I did find it rushed in some places and undeveloped in others. Fundamentally a solid read with a cute romance and characters who are a little different to what I'm used to reading which gave me a fun time! Absolutely one I will enjoy re-reads of in future!

I had Seven Days before, but I couldn't remember how the story ended. While writing an article on healthy pairings in BL manga, I revisited this title.
The story follows Shino, who asks out Seryo - his junior and fellow high-schooler, famous for dating a girl a week - wondering if Seryo would say yes to a boy. To his bewilderment, Seryo agrees and the two unwittingly begin dating. The last thing either boy expected was to catch feelings, and as the weekend approaches, they both grapple with what will happen once a new week starts.
If you're looking for a short and sweet read that warms your heart, look no further. The art is pretty and the story is adorable. Perfect for a cozy day in.

I really liked this one! The romance is very soft and there isn't a hint of homophobia or gay panic, which was refreshing. The boys' relationship flows very nicely despite the few hiccups and the story just highlights the fact that teenage boys suck at communication. The art is nice as well, even though the main characters look very much alike besides the color and cut of their hair. But everything else was just very cute and mostly unproblematic.
