The graphic is good, the story no.
Dekiai Rule
I really didnt like the fact that the uke was a real sl*t. having multiple sex-partners and being only an high-schooler........He is a sex addict, that in the end falls in love with his teacher and the feeling is mutual. The only good part of the manga, in my opinion, is when Jindou, pushes away one of his ex-partners bcs he understands he doesnt want to do it anymore if is not with Miyashita sensei, here we see that he is finally changed and matured, and is starting to understand that love is more important than sex. For all these reasons i cant give more than 2 stars.

Expressionless seme meets stalker uke. Morio an high-schooler falls in love at first sight with his chemical teacher, a stoic and cold man, that bases his "love" relationships only on one night stands. One day the boy, sees Saeki (the teacher), having sex in a classroom with another student. Saeki knows Morio is there, but he doesnt stop, and after his partner leaves, he goes near Morio's hiding place and tells him that he should understand he is not like all the other teenagers, but that he too likes men. From that moment on Morio, starts to understand that maybe is for this, that when he went out with his first gf, he couldnt go all the way with her. Morio without shame, tries all the time, to confess his love to Saeki, but all the time the teacher tells him, that btw them there cant be anything, that he is not a man that can love but wants only one night stands and all the time rejects Morio with harsh words. The boy never gives up... (a bit annoying and with no pride...) Saeki pissed, one time pushes the boy down and tells him that he will have sex with him, but to not expect a love confession from him after. Morio wants to be touched by Saeki but not like this, so refuses and leaves. Days later things change, and Morio decides to have sex (his first time)with Saeki. They start a sort of relationship, but Morio is still insecure, since Saeki never uses words of love or expresses his feelings, but stays cold all the time. To make it short. Morio becomes friend with the boy we see at start, the one that was having sex with Saeki. Thanks also to his help(indirect), Saeki starts to understand that he cares about Morio, more than he can express with words. He becomes jealous and possessive when he sees the 2 boys together, something he had never been with his previous lovers, and when the other boy kisses Morio he actually gets angry. Morio finally understands that also if Saeki isnt good with words, the man really cares about him, a thing also Saeki explains to him, telling him that he never wants to let Morio go. The story was simple, but i found it interesting. The last chapters are about Morio's friend and Saeki's housekeeper. The story starts after they graduated and Morio is still with Saeki and we see they are in love. The other boy is a bit envious, since he would like to be loved like this, but the only thing he was able to do till now, was hide himself behind one night-stands. Luckly for him, he meets the "housekeeper"(forgot his name), and the older man will change him. Happy end for them too, but i didnt like this story so much.

The first story about the womanizer and the infirmary sensei was nice. We see the boy changing gf as he pleases when he gets bored, till one day for a bet with his friends he must seduce the infirmary sensei. He doesnt expect the sensei to be smarter than him and understand the trick. In the end the boy falls in love and really tries to make the older man fall in love with him. When finally their feelings become mutual (maybe they were from the start, just the sensei was pissed about the bet), the famous womanizer doesnt expect himself to be on the bottom for the first time in his life XD The 2nd story is about a group of college boys living in the same dorms. This story annoyed me, bcs i cant understand how is possible to fall in love with a person after you kiss him, and before that u ignore him. You lived with him for 4 years,the boy confessed to you, you see him all days, and when only 2 minutes before you told him you are not in love with him, now you kissed him and wtf? u are in love and start to touch him and tell him you THINK you will be able to return his feelings the way he wants? WTF, seems too convenient......and after all that they have sex too....bah. Just for the first story i give 4 stars, i didnt like the 2nd.
