review

wait the comments made me so guarded about this manga and honestly for some that first chapter would really make you want to drop the story, but other than that and a few awkward encounters, i actually like it!

honestly, in the beginning, i thought hana and mayumi were more platonic than romantic, but over the course of the story, you’ll see that they both show love in their own way. it may be hard to see it, but hana personality conflicts with how he expressed his love, wanting to be stubborn about it. it’s different from other romantic characters in bl stories because while usually the couples are more open and expressive, this couple is more reluctant and private.

i just wanna say- hana innocence on how the police operates was SO amusing for me, especially since i live in america HAHAHA. i was like “he’s such a baby, who’s gonna tell him about corruption???”

now, let’s talking about the elephant in the room: mayumi and his ex. honestly, i don’t know what the author was thinking when they gave his ex so much screen time, especially with romantic scenes. personally, i feel like it really took away from the main couple, and instead tries to split the readers into picking who should they ship mayumi with, ESPECIALLY with the last chapter. i think it would’ve been better to keep the ex at a distance, or have mayumi actually reject him and block all advances. reading that was like “hey, if you both were in another story and i didn’t know about hana and mayumi, i would’ve shipped”

either way, i would genuinely give this a 7.5/10. With the tense romantic relationship, the ex coming in, and hana and mayumis chemistry, i feel like this story is great if you want something to sit and laugh about or need something to pass the time. (▰˘◡˘▰)
