manganiME's manga / #marriage of convenience(2)

Teens meet on a "white line" on the road and begin daily games of imagination that require walking the line. One starts to fall in love and then the other, and we follow the story of how they keep being together for years....before a crucial decision affects both of them. The start of this is so fluffy and sweet, that it's easy to get too complacent and get hit hard when the darker part comes. I personally want to slap the seme into a coma, for that terrible decision he makes that causes pain for years, but the ending makes up for it. One of the best, sweet, beautiful, metaphysical endings in yaoi/BL...EVER. It's worth crying out of pain to get to the tears of joy.

I'm not star-rating it yet, as I want to see more of the art. I do know the story is very good based on the excellent Live Action drama that aired last year with Yui Aragaki as the clean-machine contract-wife who loves and needs to be needed and Gen Hoshino as the clean-freak virginal nerd-engineer who needs a housekeeper that lives up to his standards. They slowly fall in love, though their personalities will have to work through issues. Coworkers and a best friend and family add to the dramatic events and the humor. Not wild about the art style up front, but it's growing on me. Story should be very good.
