The story is pretty generic: childhood acquaintances seperated by circumstances then met again some years later, etc. The one thing that might've made the manga interesting was the weird mother and son dynamic, but it was brushed off and had a shallow/comedic explanation. Aside from the cons I've mentioned, the manga is too short (I know that this is a frequent problem in the yaoi genre, but still...) Anyway, the main thing I liked in the manga is the illustration. There wouldn't be any confusion about the gender here because both uke and seme looked like men. Also, since both were previously straight, I appreciate the fact that they only kissed at first. Seems more realistic than going all the way right away.

There is so little to be said about a series as short as this one, but maaan... Reading this made me feel like getting sucker punched in the gut 1000x. So damn sweet.

Cute! The story lacks for any concrete character development, but the premise of the story is really unique. Would have liked for an external conflict (i.e. the newspaper man) to be the bigger focus of the story, but the fluff isn't so bad.
