The story was GREAT. I like the realistic approach of it; nothing in life will goes according to plan, there will always be twists and surprises. But yhe ending, hiw everyone ended up, was just not satisfying. I root deeply for Chika×Hotaka, but we know that Hotaka himself had no feelings for Chika and only developed so bcs their togetherness. As for Masato, I think they're compatible physically and psychologically so it's easier for their love to bloom. Maybe I'm just dissapointed that there were not much angst and drama, I mean love triangle within childhood bestfriend? That's some beef right there, right?

I've always like Zaria-sensei's works since "Mob for Jack" for their beautiful artworks. They're so erotic but never give off a cheap feeling afterward. And I'm glad, for this manga, sensei improves those beutiful works with excellent storyline. I really like that sensei took their time to tell the relationship between the mcs, not just jump right to the usual sex (not that I mind). Since I can feel the tension (and passion) rising between Teo and Camilo, even the smallest romantic gestures could make my heart burning!!! I can tell that this is gonna be a great manga.
