I'm so exhausted and sad I just want them to be happy
shit. fuck. shit. this was so. cute. so wholesome and good. fuck. I was flustered the entire time and had to pause here and there to try and stop blushing. I cried when sakiko cried GOD damn that was great. between this and Golden Sparkle there's enough proof that all you need is a pleasant art style, good dialogue and clean, straightforward storytelling to come up with a great story - no intricate twists needed. I'm being well fed and I'm thankful
I have so much to say but what struck me the most was the straightforward approach to asahikawa's orientation and his daddy issues even if briefly like. can we have this sort of mature narrative in every single manga out there please
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/papa_sex_caramelized/hs/hs_chapter-1/27/ you can HEAR his gaydar going off like a nuclear siren I'm cryingg
also: niina is an incredibly lovely name that only favors the author's incredibly lovely art style!
this is one of the cutest corniest cheesiest most delightful things I've read in a while! I'd be happy to stare at this author's art forever just bc of how dynamic and bold it is, 10/10
like honestly show me a single panel from any recent bl that's half as breathtaking as the one where himari says "can we go back to being friends if I stop being serious about you, gaku?"
this one is going straight to my favorites list thank you suzumaru
Yo for real i stared at that panel for so long i just loved it so much the mangaka is really good (≧∀≦)
Shit man,its not just the art that is beautiful but the choice of words too, like it really belongs to the characters and I love reading them :'(
can we please get himari a #1 best boy trophy for being lovely and upfront and so unafraid of being vulnerable
really wish I could send the author a thousand love letters over how well put-together this is! their art style is so clean and distinct and it goes so well with the flow of the story it's. insane. the plot had everything not to take itself seriously - high school setting, dumb boys high on hormones, one of them so naive as not to know anything about sex -, but you can tell the author takes their craft seriously, because the story takes itself seriously. it doesn't half-ass itself just because the premise might be cheesy; it's a cheesy high school love story and a great one at that. I love it so much.
props to the translatiom team too - I can't even imagine how hard it must have been to make it so the dialogue was delivered in a way this fluid yet impactful. you guys did an amazing job!
and since they're getting together anyway they can share the #1 best boy trophy gaku is a sweetheart!!!
BIG BRAIN ENERGY ALL OVER THIS CHAPTER
I'd been a little worried about how djun was handling the whole issue with wangwang and the Fujoshi Trope(tm), but there's clear self-awareness going on in this chapter and that puts me at ease!! thank you djun for addressing the fetishizing of irl gay relationships in a straight-to-the-point, easy-to-follow manner!

'were you so worried about me being too lonely that you sent a son back to me' I was tearing up the whole time but that's when the tears jumped out fellas
we're all torn between being heartbroken and furious but I'm glad the one thing everyone agrees on is that utou deserves all the happiness & love
