It's nice. Semes who are willing to wait are such a rarity in yaoi. Second story sequel to ijiwaru shinaide

Hits all the right spots. In every way. Stories like this that stir me up and make me cry are always the best.

Edit: it seemed to skip, both time and feelings. Somethings semmed to spring out of nowhere

Ongoing Oto is a gay dude who does a night job as a bartender for a gay bar. There he meets Nibu, who turns out to be one of their newer contract hires at Oto's day job. And Nibu keeps trying to strike up a friendship in this awkward situation.

Okura is a competent, respected man at work, and an anxiety ridden, friendless person outside. But when a chance meeting with a client (Nanase) outside of work blossoms into something more, could Akira overcome his social anxiety bit by bit to share a bit more of himself with Nanase? I loved the pacing. Rare for yaoi to be so slow paced when this short. I love how the story actually addresses social anxiety as a real issue and how we see progress. The resolution with the friend was also a bonus. Overall, they're really good together, their relationship is super healthy and I just, enjoyed it. 4.7

It's fresh and exciting. Could be longer. 4.75
