The Two Lions is a sweet little manga about two boys slowly falling for eachother. A slow burn romance in which Junpei takes his time to get to know the unfriendly Leo. Something that is quite admirable as Leo has a bad reputation and that it is the reason he barely has any friends. But Junpei keeps on trying and trying.

It's a sweet story. Nothing groundbreaking, but the manga delivers exactly what is promised. A love story of two boys developing feelings for eachother and slowly opening up. In the end Leo's past comes back to hunt him, but it actually gives the last push for them to be honest to eachother.

The story has a nice pace and it's all very sweet.
