so cute! i loved the concept of this before i read it and it turned out just as good as i was expecting! the idea of a boy who literally knows nothing about sex and having to learn it all while simultaneously falling in love w his friend is such a big brain plot. it was super refreshing and i love the art. ah jeez i wish it was longer, these stories are always so short. the top was such a sweetie too, we love feminist men. i liked it a lot tbh enough to place it in my top list i think. 8/10

hi okay imma be honest this was one of the best bls ive read and the fact that it was so short is CRIMINAL but the way it had such an impact on me with such little content is incredible. this was so fucking great, from the characters to the plot to the structure of their relationship to the art style to the underlying message shared. im in love. ugh, i love kyousuke so much and i relate so much with the mentality of not knowing whether something is "right or wrong" and being too afraid to pursue anything that seems wrong. but hes also everything i want to be, from his self-assuredness and motivation and work drive. hes inspirational but pitiful at the same time. i cried reading this. i only ever cry for long ass works that have time to play w my emotions but this did it for me within the 5th chapter. i loved this so much. i want to read the rest of the authors works if theyre even half this good. ugh. so fucking good. 10/10 literally. the only issue is that its so short. i could read 50 chapters about them and not grow tired. cant wait to reread.
