Torao has got to be one of the most tenacious and determined uke I have ever had the chance to read. When he loves, he LOVES. The fact that Hikaru B waited another 250 years for him in that wasteland, the fact that Torao went out to look for him despite a 1% chance of finding him, ahhhhh. I was in tears at how awesomely bittersweet this was. Gold and deserves a much higher rating.
One of those rare BLs where all the MCs - tops and bottoms - are gorgeously manly and hawt as hell. Saito for me especially, that man is soh fine!! But I love Natsume's character best. Strict and efficient with work that he might come off as coldly professional, yet truth is he is so considerate and compassionate with his lover and friends. I love the laidback friendship all 4 of them had, and even Keiko, the ex-wife had a decent character, she wasnt shown to be some major biatch but in truth a fujoshi like the rest of us, lol. I preferred the feels of Vol 2 more, but def both volumes are great and worth re-reading again in the future.
Smut with decent rom-com plot. Masculine top and bottom. Uncensored dickkies. Great support cast. Awesome art. What's not to like? Looking forward to the older bro's story!
I mean, sure she's really cute and her intentions are pure but geez, that girl is seriously NAIVE and DENSE. What is she, 20 yrs old? 21? 22? Her obtuse innocence is starting to grate on me. I mean, I want her to stay the cute Rio she is, just a bit more street smart about things, ya know? And the two men - I am rooting for Fujishima for now, simply because Hikaru on the surface seems nice but he is actually quite sly and got her drunk. And if Fujishima didnt intervene, who knows what cudv happened?
Ahhh I love dis. A healthy relationship with communication clarity and straightforwardness. Well developed, lovable characters that grow on you every chapter. Great art with clean lines and good facial emoting. I just wish for more chapters, with maybe a pinch of smut :)
This is the second story by Sensei that I have read where "Chapter 5" is an anomaly to the fluffy tone of the main story. Its like its purposely inserted to shock you, or change your mood, and I would really like to know why. Chapter 5's stories are also dark and painful.
I felt that the idea of a closet gay coming to terms with himself, falling in love and confessing could have done with another chapter or two to pace it put even more, and included a pinch more angst/drama for even more added realism. But as it is, keeping it short allowed it to be sweet and adorable instead so I am ok with that too.
I really like Kirishima's character - so open, accepting and straightforward. Honestly the first 3 chapters I had daggers in my heart and ached so much for him. Am glad it was all just a misunderstanding. Megane Toudou just gets hotter every volume. His mostly black attire just increases his sexy enigmatic aura. And can I say how YOUNG the mum looks? Coz if Kirishima is 27, she must be close to 50 at least? I want a story for Nanami as seme too, he is so interesting!
I liked the pace of the story. it had a nice balance of humour, cuteness, tension and angst. I liked that the seme was being realistic in weighing out staying friends vs dating a hetero, even tho he is deeply in love. But honestly, Todou is such a megane seme. I mean really, he got me all hot and bothered through six chapters. I would seriously jump him.
There is a sequel
I have read and commented on the sequel as well lol. Its good too.
I liked that the uke is naive but he isnt stupid nor weak. I can see him as a very attractive 25 year old with lots of street smart but forever having that cute smile. Takara the seme when he said sorry to the family pic had me LOL. Oni-chann needs to fucking pack his bag and just leave planet Earth, the creep! And finally, I cant tell if Granny is the real MVP, or the cockroaches.
