MountainGazelle's Manga

100% must read.
Overall, this BL has a story + couples and it's not only about the romance. Reading something like this is always refreshing in BL. I technically can't say it's one of those stories where everyone is gay, but I technically canat the same time. Either way, there are a lot of couples but most of them are developed and the ones that are not still make sense. I really enjoyed this BL. It's one of those that wraps you in its atmosphere.

On a nore spoiler-y note:
- Sam acts like Rugal when Rugal is not around. It's very noticeable in the last chapter after they thought they killed him.
- I LOVE love love Dio and Brett's relationship even though some of Brett's actions didn't sit well with me.
- James opening Rugal's laptop was one of the funniest scenes I've read in my life.

First, i see why someone will give this a 4, but I'll give it a 4.5.
Second, I actually enjoyed this a lot.
This story accomplishes something most stories lack: consistency. In most [BL]stories characters change over time and in a character development sort of way. Instead, they change to fit the story. It should be the way around. Just think of how many times you've reread a story and realized that the uke's personality was extremely different at the start (usually stronger). The characters in the story, while unusual, are very consistent throughout the story.
Third, the author delivered good dialogue and storytelling. While I don't base my reviews off the quality of the dialogue (because this is a translation), I would like to comment on it being very natural and genuine AKA very human they're not exaggerated characters. The storytelling was good too.
Fourth, my only complaint about the story is the 'second couple'??? Honestly, I really don't understand them. I feel like we didn't get a proper intro to the dude that looks like the stalker. Their placement was just very odd. I understand that they moved the story, but I wasn't connected enough to them to understand their impact. Again, they were just planted into the story weirdly.
Lastly, I really liked the art.

Conclusion: READ IT! It's not that long and it's good.

Really really love how genuine the relationship is. It's one of those manga with a really good and healthy couple that it makes you feel bad about yourself.
So cute fr.

3 cuz not that good of art. Story is very trope-y (except for the epilouge, that was straight out of a k drama). And yeah overall meh. There were some good things though. The whole brother lie thing actually surprised me, but ai don't understand why they didn't make a bigger deal out of it. He ruined their relationship!!!
