JGheartManga's manga / #Slow burn(822)

No actual blood relations are coupling up so no direct incest either :) should be read after Mankai Darling as the crossover characters play more than a guest role. Had to wait till the very last chapters for the 2 couples to actually do it.

DNF @ch20. Spin off to the other cat series bout separate couples. Should be read after Nekoka kareshi No Ayashikata. The younger bro in this story is starting to grind my gears with his hot/cold treatment of his older bro. Seriously this kid needs to learn to be more grateful and less bi-polar dammit! As there is no smut or even confessions between the half bros (yet) I can't really tag it as incest (yet). Had to DNF this one as it was getting painful to read all this unneeded drama and angst with no rewards. Maybe I'll pick it up again one day

Jumpy dialogue made understanding the story hard. In the end, this story was just ok for me. Had one glossed over smut scene but the rest of it is pretty Shounen Ai.

The only love scene at the end was pretty brief and glossed over :( oh well, still a nice story regardless.

1 Doukyuusei [Classmates] - Prologue 2 Sotsugyousei [Graduate] - Sequel 3 Sora to Hara - Spin-off (Story of Teacher) 4 Occupation to Beloved - Mixed 5 Graduation Certificate - Epilogue

Was a little too slow paced for my liking and found myself skimming until I finally DNF'd by volume 3. Not a bad read per say, just wasn't my cuppa. 1 Doukyuusei [Classmates] - Prologue 2 Sotsugyousei [Graduate] - Sequel 3 Sora to Hara - Spin-off (Story of Teacher) 4 Occupation to Beloved - Mixed 5 Graduation Certificate - Epilogue

Much respect goes to the mangaka for this story and art but I just wasn't feeling any real connection to the love or development. Between the ending and epilogue there was no real conclusion and I still don't know how these 2 even got together. Still, I can see the vision that the mangaka was trying to achieve but I just didn't see a great execution.

Started off slow but then wormed its way into my heart. Really enjoy reading the development and progression in this story even if it's a smutless shoujo. Love this mangaka!!

Great writing and art. Although more slower paced than my usual favourite, it's still an enjoyable bl read. Update ch19: getting slower and tiring to read. Massively slow burn, which I appreciated at the beginning, but not as much now. Have taken it off my fave list. Update: I’m not sure when I stopped reading the uploads, but I’ve lost my mojo to continue ages ago and since there’s been so many chapters I’ve missed, I’ve decided to throw in the towel on this one. I’ll still note it was a cute, enjoyable, slow burn when I first began, so I won’t bring rating lower than 3 stars.
