A bit boring at some parts, made me feel tired. But the last story was nice even though it was left somehow unfinished.

Good manga. Really different storys, each one unique in their own way. Adorable, funny, real and mature at the same time. I wouldn't say "must-read", but it's really interesting. Chapter 01: art students. The guys knows his classmate has a crush on him, but is too stubborn to realize he actually likes the classmate in the same way. Adorable, really. (4 from 5) Chapter 02: guy has an unrequieted love for his friend that likes a girl evolved in a gossip of being raped, selling herself and running away from school, so they go search for her in the summer. People are treating this chapter really bad and I don't know why. Ok, it's heavy. But hey, wake up: we are talking about human emotions, and this story portraits it so damn well. It's not cute, it will make you angry and despise the guy at the end, but it's damn realistic. (3 from 5) Chapter 03: guys who play together in an orchestra. This was... weird. Basically, one of them is insecure and the other one is a good for nothing, selfish and self-centered prick. (2 from 5) Chapter 04, 05, 08: childhood friends who work together in the same company. One of them is a complete narcissist who loves himself more than anything. To tell the truth, I was expeting for this chapter to be the worst of them but it ended up being the best, they are such dorks. (4 from 5) Chapter 06: live-in lovers (apparently). Gave the feel of being quite an sadomasochist relationship, since one of the guys seemed to like being teased by the other one, who seemed to feel pleasure from bullying the other. It's really short, but I found it interesting and would like to have more of it. (3 from 5) Chapter 07: ok so this was really mature and it's important. It talks about gender identity and it's realistic. (3 from 5)

Ch 1 + 2: childhood friends meet again after 4 years, one of them came to get the other back home in the countryside. Ch 3: related to ch. 1, guy sleeps around a lot cause he never finds anyone he feels like sleeping again with, that is, until he decides to get a go with his punk friend (who is a total cutie without being a pain in the ass btw) Ch 4: continuation of ch. 1 + 3 Ch 5: messed up relationship between a patient who became obsessed with his psychologist and decides to kidnap him; turns out the doctor dominates him instead and keeps him locked up for 3 days (?) until he tells the guy to become an actual adult Ch 6: wtf. Alternate universe? Two friends are in a military school; uke is totally girly; crazy seme's sisters kidnap the guy he likes as a "test" Actually kinda liked chapter 2, but the rest is just ~meh~.
