I read this because it was highly rated but the story not for me. However on a positive note, I will say the art is beautiful, the colors are good and the dialogue feels natural. I also enjoyed that there was more than one couple. However, in both relationships, there is an unhealthy power dynamic that made it difficult for me to root for either relationship. *Spoilers* Ultimately much of both stories are the same in that person "A" is aware that person "B" has feelings for them. Person "A" uses person "B's" feeling to manipulate and control them while person "A" gets to enjoy a sense of superiority and power in the relationship. Of course, ultimately both relationships become more equal and ultimately lead to supposedly equal partnerships. But it was difficult for me to truly feel happy for this outcome when considering how the relationships were formed. ***But this is just how I felt after reading it I know many people love this story and that's great!

6/28/21 This is a beautiful slow burn shounen-ai about hidden feelings and the pain of unrequited love. I loved it! Only read volumes 1&2 the last one focuses on a side character and it says that it's completed but it doesn't feel done so it's kinda unsatisfying but the main story is amazing! 7/21/21 This is my second time reading this and I am completely blown away by how this story unfolds. Every time I read this I am emotionally eviscerated by Touma's feelings. The way this love is portrayed is so honest, so raw, and pure. I truly believe in his devotion to his friend. There is something about this that is so atmospheric, and wistful. But perhaps due to the quiet nature of this story we never end up with a grand finale or a wedding cake moment, I find this a bit regrettable. The characters just quietly walk away hand in hand with their love to pursue their life. But I wish the best for Touma and Takaya, I hope they share much love and happiness together.
