Real interesting but it's hard for me to keep up, i feel dumb lol but i still really like it. Man, i grew up with it.

When I started reading this manga I thought it was going to be really shallow, that the author wouldn't explain the background stories nor develop the relationships at all. But now that I've finished I can say that it's really not shallow. It's incredible how the author creates stories with real feelings and deep characters. For example, they are not just smiles and being lovey dovey , there's guilt and the need of attachment (Nakajou x Sado), there's pain, the conflict between forgetting and moving on and unrequited love (Akiha x Yahiko), there's introversion and finding happiness in and older age (Sekiya x Shibata) and there's the meeting by chance - or is it fate? - (Kameda x Ogikawa). Honestly, there's so much more like the issues of death (of a lover, which is a trope that she seems to like it a lot lol), the search for a meaning on life, on love... It's just really beautiful. And I love how everyone is connected (but that also gave me a hard time to understand/remember all the relations and also because they look alike) but that's just life. There's a lot of people around you and you have different relations with them. Ah, I wish I could understand the deeper meanings that this manga has (like what's with the religious stuff on it?) but oh well maybe I am just thinking too much about it lol. Anyway of course it has some flaws like I wanted to know more about the guy who died, you know understand his feelings better, why his father neglected them, why the accident happened and was sekiya really just and introvert or did he have a deeper story? But it's still really good.

Oh my god, seriously, I just fell in love with this author and this story. It's simple and beautiful, pure hearted and heartwarming. I just love it. It's one of my favorites now. It's short but I feel refreshed after reading it. There's no angsty and I really needed a story that was like this. They are fated partners, I can see their red line. And I love their names! The meanings are so beautiful! Also, the art is amazing. Honestly, just flawless. It's just so good I'm gonna go cry now, excuse me.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY MASTERPIECE, NO FLAWS BRO. Just beautiful!! Bisexual seme and super thoughtful, definitely a favourite. Also, it's so fucking sad but happy at the end. AMAZING SHOW STOPPING SPECTACULAR...!!!

When I first read the sinopsis i thought that it was going to be one of those stories "my friend - for some reason - jerked me off and i caught feelings for him" but it wasn't quite like that. I mean, the way the author built the story around this trope was totally different. Gaku didn't really have interest in girls when he was younger and respected them more than the other guys did, so when the guys noticed it they excluded him. The girls wanted to be with him so he went along with it because he didn't want to be alone. Later, he found out that he was more interested in guys (PRECIOUS BABY). Himari was scared of girls because of that childhood experience, his father wasn't around, he skipped sex education classes and overall he wasn't really interested in girls either and so he didn't fit in with the other guys too (i guess we can assume that he's also gay (?)) IN THE END, THEY FIT EACH OTHER SO WELL THAT I WANNA CRY. The part when Gaku is pushing Himari away because he's trying to protect Himari from being teased by others and being excluded like he was during middle school is beautiful and sad because we see the prejudice and how it interferes in their thoughts and lives. And don't even get me started on the art MAN GAKU AND HIMARI JUST HIT DIFFERENT THEY ARE *CHEF'S KISS* ARGHH I LOVE THEM. ALSO, MAN... GAKU IS THICC, BIG DICK ENERGY!

HONESTLY THIS IS SO GOOD I CAN'T STOP SMILING FUUUCK I AM FRICKING SMILING RIGHT NOW! Okay, so this manga is really like Encirclement Love, but... Ichika Bachika is better! I mean, Oka and Mao are just like the couple in Encirclement Love but i think they explain their feelings and relationship a lot better. This is a really good manga so sweet and heartwarming, no angsty and Oka and Mao accepting Hazumoto and Kadoi's relationship, making harmless jokes about it IT'S AMAZING EVERYTHING THAT I NEEDED! Also, the art is flawless. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE COUPLE FROM THE ONESHOT OMG I CANT BELIEVE KEITO IS A BOTTOM. BEST PLOT TWIST HONESTLY PROTECT MA BABY. THIS MANGA HAS ONLY ONE FLAW AND THAT IS HE ENDS! IT'S TOO SHORT I WANT MORE OF MY BABIES

OKAY LET'S DO THIS!! So, when I first saw the cover and the story I thought this was going to be very cliché. But, it totally surprised me IN A GOOD WAY. AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD. So, first I thought that Kaede would be the type to sulk all the way to the cerimony and be mad at the wolves (which he didn't, he wanted to be happy and was doing his best to accept and adapt to the situation). Then, I thought that Ren was just cold and had no interest in the marriage because his temper was like that. You know, like "ugh my parents are forcing me to do this so let's get over with this shit" (and it also wasn't like that because he had been taking pills to numb his emotions ever since he was little and he grew up isolated). I also thought the cousin would be a bastard that would ruin their relationship and jump on Kaede but he really didn't. I truly believe that he was just trying to relieve Kaede from the pain of the aphrodisiacs. Oh, and I kept thinking that Ren was a total idiot for leaving Kaede just like that (I mean at first he really neglected him) but in the end he was just trying to hold back (i mean, can you blame him??). One detail that i didn't really like about the manga is that Kaede had sex with Ren while he was in beast form, THAT I didn't like at all and also, in the beginning i felt a bit troubled because Kaede looks too much like a child but I got used to his appearance in the end and I'm gonna let these slide because everything else is really good. The plot is not so original but the way it was conducted is. Also, the art is beautiful and the background of the story such as the traditions of the wolf clan, their work, the minor characters... everything is so detailed that it's amazing. And I really like the way the story and their feelings progressed, like it wasn't rush and you could feel their gradual changes. I just really recommend this manga!!
