Need more! cant leave me on a cliff hanger like that

It was actually really good although... Wtf a kid gets groped and people make fun of him for it, what the hell is wrong with that family and friends. Who cares if the guy got a tooth knocked out doesn't make the victim isn't any less traumatized no wonder this kid had problems :/ uggggh... it was cute in all of the other aspects though.

ugggh that cliffhanger as this is ongoing i cant properly give my full opinions as of yet, but what i can say is DAMN if i could only get a guy to look at me the way that hirokawa looks at big guy then my life would be complete... Le sigh...

holy god im gonna buy the rest if i have too!!!! the girls were actually central to the comedy and it was amazing. one of the weirdest yet enjoyable rides ive been on

Was pleasantly surprised by this one. The cover had me apprehensive at first but it was overall a sweet story of overcoming cultural barriers to understand each other which is a complex target for regular books or even textbooks on anthropology or intercultural speech. although this may not be perfect it is a nice ride that i wasn't expecting.

Not usually into characters that are basically babies but the characters have a certain charm that really shines and that all adds up to a great comedy with actual story and genuine emotions i was not expecting that. BRAVO to the girl for trying her DAMNEDEST to not cause confusion, she just really understood the mood and was a genuinely enjoyable side character rather than the other yaoi side girl characters. and the whole acceptance of gayness was a welcome change as well

This author is a goddess of this genre and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise, even her weaker stories (I consider this to be one of her weaker works) she manages to make the characters seem relatable and not over the top drama edgelords. She also works in comedy that flows well into the narrative so I am not scared off by the overwhelming seriousness that most yaoi has. I love how she makes me love the characters and root for their happiness though their personalities rather than having to root because they are main character alone. She's even not afraid to make some characters actually gay and admit it, rather than having to have every character be the "I'm gay but only for you" bullshit that plagues yaoi as a whole. Can't wait til she releases again for me to fall in love with even more of her extended canon of lovable characters. :)

Left off at chapter 134 and damn if this wasn't good, the art style from the big smiles to sad faces everything is well emoted and the story is about actual gay dudes who accept that they are gay and want to just live in a society that may not accept them but they are trudging on through anyway. The familial dynamics are multifaceted with actual portrayals of familial homophobia and the effects it has on people, its not a usual "I'm straight but gay for you" plot because the family and friendship dynamics make this a masterpiece of characters discovering their own sexuality and the sometimes flimsy nature of the concept itself, finally, through this piece of media I feel represented in this genre. It does not back down from relationship dynamics and I just really appreciate this slice of fluffy angst to be grounded in the struggles of gay men in some societies. It also addresses familial pressure to continue the family which is important in today's climate because it really isn't addressed in other media that sometimes people may not want to get married or have children and that is perfectly okay. Many of our generation are reluctant to have children and feel the stares of our parents or grandparents who at the family gatherings ask when you'll finally settle down and have a nice little nuclear family and "finally be happy and start life" and when you say you do not want children ever, an aunt will give a "knowing side eye to maybe your mother or uncle and say "oh that'll change *snicker*" the younger generation is becoming more and more despondent with the want to have children as we realize it's not necessary to have a fulfilled relationship but often feel pressured by familial or societal pressure to conform to that "perfect familial unit", I'm rambling but this comic brings up very real societal issues that other contemporary works do not all while being cute and fluffy romance. 9 out of 10 and will definitely read all over again and can't wait to see what is next for the creator
