25.8.2020 If this was a typical yakuza trope yaoi, I for one didn’t feel like it was anything more than a Romeo x Juliet type of drama. Because of yakuza reasons (read: assault for one and fraud for the other) they both got sent to the same prison to serve a one year sentence. In the last, extra, chapter they are reunited on a coffee date, still nervous and in love.

14.9.2020 The artwork is messy, and reminds me so much of Ischikawa Kei that my heart starts hurting. The couple in this story is yet another of those ”idiot couples” where one tends to overthink and the other be too embarrassed to say anything and instead just tend to be blunt/rude. And just like with Kei, awkward first sex scenes. *swoon* And I wish the best of luck to them. They seemed plausible.
Fuhoni!
16.8.2020 This one seems more realistic, and since it’s the depiction of a ”first” relationship between a 35 and 28 year old man, I think the older man’s inner dialogue from the first to the last chapter is so ... well, both adorable and realistic. He feels insecure because his lover is younger, he’s trying not to let his feelings show up at work, he worries about when or if they’re going to have sex. As a couple, I really liked them :) The art looks, at first glance, really clunky and crappy, but then it kinda grows on you and suddenly the main protagonist’s facial expressions are so nice, and the way the sex scenes are drawn just look realistic (no lifting your lover like he’s made of air and the like).
