1) I loved the angsty undercurrent of Ryuusei's unrequited love running through the first couple of chapters. I felt it so much, but I am also glad it was not dragged out, just nice!
2) I think every fujoshi in mangagoland reading this wants to date Sawami. He is just so goddamn attractively drawn with a great personality and maturity to boot. I was swooning at every panel he appeared in.
3) But Ryuusei truly is the MVP of this story - so fucking cute and yet a MAN who is deeply in love his vulnerability shows on all his expressions. I just wanted to squeeze and hug him.
I really appreciated the sexual tension running thru this entire manga, its just.so.damn.hawt.
Its a very good shounen ai but for some reason for me, it feels incomplete. I wanted to see Takara deeply in love, I wanted to see them together 5 years from now, and of course, I wanted at least 1 chapter of smexy which would have been the icing on the cake. Overall, I loved it.
I just bought the printed manga (in Italian) and there’s an additional chapter with the smexy part. I’m actually really shocked that that part is missing from here (￣∇￣")
OOOOOOooooooooo. I hope someone scans and translates it and adds it here. I can only pray and hope. Tx for informing!
"I dont care if he is an Alpha or an Alpaca."
The minute I read that line I KNEW it was going to be an amazing un-cliche ABO story.
This was a lovely tale, but it had potential to be so much more emotionally compelling. It would have also been nice to see them building their life in the US, or still being together as old men. Art is beautiful, Sei and Jim are so handsomely drawn. 5/5 from me regardless.
I think I’ll fry if I see them aged in the US, holding hands together till their death.
This was a lovely story, and I love the relationship transition, its nuances and how their feelings changed as the years went by. The complexity of their feelings for each other could have been told in more chapters, but as it is, flow is good . I pity those who cant see pass the literal translation of "falling in love with a child" and therefore condemning this to hellfire. So its too bad they cant appreciate it for what it truly is - a well-written age-gap romance.
Sorry wanted to dislike accidentally liked ur comment lmfao. This story just isn’t good and was terribly written flow was definitely not good even if I try to look past him sending luv letters to a 10 yr old their relationship makes no sense
I liked it a lot. We can agree to disagree.
I totally agree. Feelings can change shape but still be called love. Love need not be romantic always. He never once put his hands on the child anyways.
That moment when Kei entered Tomoya's bedroom and saw himself plastered all over the walls - his expression, I swear I have never LOL so loudly and so much at the kitchen table before
Such a warm beautiful tale of two souls who gave the gift of helping the other and gently fell in love. I love romances centred around food as well, this was wonderful. 10/10 from me.
Dawool carried this whole story for me. So sassy, bitchy, smart and a real loyal friend. Its a pity we dont get more of his and Eden's relationship, their chemistry is awesome.
I absolutely loved the flow of the story and the build-up of their relationship over meals. No major misunderstandings, just two consensual working adults exploring their love for each other emotionally and physically. 10/10 from me.
SAMEEEE THEY R SLOW BURN WITH A NICE FLOW FOR A 7 chapters without a rush
