This was a very cute one-shot. While I did enjoy the first volume a bit more, Amuyu's also quite cute, almost as cute as Tsubame. I liked his dynamic with Ryuu and while the way their relationship got a start was a bit off-putting, the way they grow to care for each other is endearing. I like how open and vulnerable they end up being in front of each other, even if their communication skills leave a bit to be desired. I didn't like how fast they jumped into bed together, especially considering their lack of previous experience, but that's pretty typical for this genre.
