It’s a fine manga on its own terms, but there isn’t really anything unique or novel about this series that sets it apart from the rest of the genre. In fact in certain respects it’s kinda standard fair.
From the cover I pretty much expected a tall, ikemen seme pursuing a small, effeminate uke who will blush profusely and emotionally overreact to even mild flirting and touching. And that’s pretty much what I got for the most part. Hell, they even pulled a “straight, but with an exemption” trope. In fact, it feels like the entire series is Miyano slowly coming to the realization that he’s a generic uke in a generic bl manga.
Now, this isn’t a bad thing in itself, but if I can predict the couple’s romantic dynamic from just looking at the manga cover, it means the author is too easily resorting to cliches and stereotypes, rather than trying to flesh out the characters as believable human beings on their own terms

Ultimately though, it’s a lighthearted, non-serious read with the art being undeniably the highlight (though there is some sameface syndrome), and the supporting cast are just entertaining enough to retain attention. I don’t think 6+ volumes are justified, but admittedly everyone’s mileage will vary. I’ll probably check back in a few years to see how this ends.
