This is one of those stories where you look at the leads and just sigh because truly … they’re made for each other in the most embarrassing way. Seisei is the student council vice-president, straight-laced student and widely known as the most eligible top in the entire all-boys boarding school. Except he’s not a top. At all. And he’s really tired of being confessed to by bottoms because if there’s one thing this boy wants - it’s to get laid. Unexpectedly, he gets just that when his roommate turned straight best friend turned ‘gay for you’ lover suddenly becomes irrational and jealous after a new transfer student propositions Seisei to be friends with benefits. Overall this proved to be an amusing story with fun, simple antics from the main and side characters. Seisei is so unabashedly horny and there’s definitely something wrong with his roomy too because I wouldn’t be able to keep a straight face is someone said the raunchy things that come out of Seisei’s mouth to me.

This story made me actually sob. The entire scene with Peanut tugged at every heart string I have. The pacing is a bit wonky and the entire premise is so strange, but the author did a great job at giving physical form to emotions. The pain of losing those you love, the fear and scary emotions that love often brings. It all touched my heart. Normally I wouldn’t give 5 stars to a story with such an all over the place plot, but honestly that didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the story in the slightest. On the opposite side of the coin, it was quite a funny story. Full of goofy art and wacky subplots, the chuckles saved me from crying too much.
