shokiyo's manga / #friendship(2)

☆ 4 Wholesome with a neatly tied in backstory. I wish there was more characterisation but the manga did well with its length, and both characters do have personality. The extras were the cherries on top. Overall a relaxing and slightly melancholy summer story.

☆ 4 more wholesomeness and lovely characters. id love to meet either mc, as they both have a unique charm and can stand alone as individuals, which is unfortunately rare in bl manga (meaning they have their own lives, identities, friends, etc, and aren’t intrinsically dependent). also wish that there was a continuation to the story because the freshly blooming love seems unrequited, even in the bonus. i would be excited to see junpei and leo happily together in a relationship, as i think it could work out well. they complement each other in a precious way, encouraging growth in both as separate people. finally, ryoji’s kitty (aka. the third lion, haha) is adorable.
