i thought this was a good first volume. i've read a lot of novels with lgbtqia characters but this is my first manga in this genre. i obviously can't say how good of a portrayal this is since i'm a cis woman but it felt very honest and i like how things aren't glossed over, if that makes any sense. ryo is such a sweetheart, i hate seeing him struggling so much but unfortunately that's the world we live in. jin is such a cool character and todo is so adorable, i love him and his camera. i'm really excited to continue this series!!
