(Note: Please be aware before going into this that the main characters are both 15 and there are sex scenes featuring them).
This was so cute!! I've been on a bit of a BL binge (thanks for that gender crisis) and I saw this one at the comic store and the cover just looked so soft and romantic which isn't necessarily a vibe you see often in BL manga. And despite sounding pretty raunchy just from the description it was actually really soft and sweet. It was so sweet watching Gaku come to terms with his sexuality and I really liked the way the portrayed the internalized homophobia that a lot of BL stories have, as in Gaku was more worried about dragging Himari down with him than any hate he might face, which I think is a pretty realistic concern.
Ok but Himari is so stupid and I love it. Like my man knows absolutely nothing about his body or sex and it's very concerning like jeez mate. He seems very naïve, but considering the characters are meant to be 15 I think that's pretty normal.
