In the very beginning, I did think Qiu Yu was being somewhat unreasonable, and especially worried about Xiao Hua being take advantage of, given how naive and sincere he is. But now, I truly do see, how they both wield equal power in this relationship. I love many of the side characters. The siblings are wonderful and the best friends were just great, made the whole thing that much more enjoyable. I dislike Qiu Yu's parents, but I do think he is handling them well. Who knows, maybe he'll get them to come around. Glad that Xia Hua's mom had a change of heart. She was great!! The real annoying character in all of this so far, is Yao Jian. What a self centered asshole! But I feel like Xiao Hua's creepy ex may also make another shitty appearance. Additionally, I also really liked Lan Yang and the Elder brother's story, but again, their path looks rife with hardships. Unless, of course, the first two get accepted, thus making it smooth sailing for the elder bro, who even has a kid already (maybe that counts for something with the rents?) 5

Wow. Wowowowowow. So, so into this. The atmosphere and feel of this new and budding romance between Kudou, the awkward office worker and Satou, the mechanic who seduces him, is seeped in eroticism and something magical, almost. I feel like *I* am the one being so gently and cleverly seduced! ~Aaah! Edit: Damn. The sweetest seduction, from beginning to end. No conflicts and no annoying 3rd characters. Just a perfectly steamy romance. Yum yum
