I was really enjoyed is manga and the plot have a great paced. Easy and quick read but the rape scene petty much ruined it. I like cover and artwork. I likening charchers and enjoyed their relationship but like I said before the rape scene petty much ruined it.


Can't stop thinking about how much this plot irritated me. The main character and his love interest are clearly unhealthy for each other, but I love an unrealistic fictional turnaround, so I was willing to hang on, but the problem is never solved despite the characters fully pretending it is. It feels like the writer was dropping all these obvious plot points to lead up to a big argument where both characters spill all, but all they did was shout that they love each other and all is solved? What about the rampant jealousy that they never talk about? Or the main character toying with the love interest's emotions by constantly flirting with others? Or the fucking assault? The main character decides halfway through the book that the problem between them is that he doesn't know what they are to each other, but it's so obvious that that isn't the problem, it makes me want to tear my hair out.

Changing this from 2 to 1 star. I know this is the first in a series, but don't pretend the issue is resolved by the end of book 1 if it clearly isn't.

When it’s good it’s good but when it’s bad it’s baaaaad.

The cute moments are adorable, but it’s tainted by a toxic relationship. This was lent by a friend, so I don’t know if I’ll continue it, but I feel a little icky after reading it.

This was pretty disappointing. I didn't feel any chemistry between the main characters, and I found Naoto to be very annoying. I liked Taichi up until
Spoilerrape scene
and then I was done with it after that.

I already own the second volume so I might continue sometime, but it's definitely not high priority.

My first manga in quite some time where the boys didn't look like very pretty girls. Nao was still pretty feminine, but had an obviously male body and a more masculine face shape. It was nice to see a character wearing glasses too, I don't remember the last time I saw that in a comic.

Very fluffy romance between two college age guys who had a fling in high school that ended badly. They fall for each other again and Nao is worried it will turn out the same as before. This is volume one of the series, but honestly ends in a place that allows you to put the series down and not continue. More graphic sex scenes than I was expecting, though it's still somewhat censored.

I liked this volume, but the summary for the next one doesn't really interest me so I think I won't continue the series.

I would love to stop reading BL manga and read some other stuff, but I don't think I can! Since I have nothing else to do after #HurricaneMaria, I've been just catching up on some old and new manga and I haven't been disappointed so far.

I thought we were past the point where we need to justify homosexuality with noncon/dubcon
