17 Ch 7 // Oh myyy... Finally.. A BL that does not revolve on guys falling in love at first sight and getting it on. The story is realistic and the pacing is good too. I wanna read more!! I personally do not mind if Yuiji does not end up with Yamato, but of course, I would like it more if they do. However, considering the situation, I hope it gets handles well and not rushed, since, for now, Yuiji is straight and still committed to his girlfriend. I don't want him to break up with her for Yamato, but instead, I wish he'd come to terms to hid feelings soon. Like, as he said, he likes his gf, but doesn't particularly love her. I appreciate how he started to make efforts to make their relationship work, but as it is, he still feels like it's in a stalemate so I hope he just lets go before things get more complicated. Once he's single, he can then slowly discover the intricacies of love more freely. I'm also glad that Yamato doesn't give in to Sakura despite him basically throwing himself to Yamato. I liked how he tells him off and asking him to value himself more or something. I like how their principles are opposite of each other but Yamato doesn't completely reject him if it were only friendship. It's like, at this point, Yamato is still sorting things out, but he's not reckless enough to do it with anyone else just because his love isn't requited.

Ahhhh, I really want an Itou for myself... He's too good to be true yet he's not exactly perfect... But being an understanding and open-minded person as he is, I feel like his type is someone who'll surely suit me. His not so good moment in this manga was when Fujioka, who resembled him a lot and had a more convenient and favorable position to date Shimada appeared, and he got too caught up being an adult and not realizing his jealousy, causing them to drift further apart. His unease was unwarranted, knowing how Shimada felt towards Fujioka at the time was pure. But I guess, it can't be helped, because it was only a matter of time when the conditions could lead off that direction and he was simply afraid to watch his lover fall for someone else. I would to. The bad thing there was that, even though he was someone who'd always preferred talking about feelings and problems openly to each other so they can resolve it quickly, he kept mum about it. But oh well, I'd say Shimada was too naive back then to not realize that Fujioka was a possible threat to sensei. Anyhow, I'd still want him. He's the type of guy who'd patienly wait for you and love you unconditionally even when things get tough. I mean, let's face it. The reason why he decided to separate was because he felt Shimada was gradually wavering (from the moment she talked about Fujioka happily)... Well there's that... If I have to say, I guess there were too many love rivals that it got pretty annoying, but I salute Sensei for not wavering even once. Itou Sensei - Nakajima sensei (co-worker : dumped her... refused to 'comfort' her even when she needed it the most), Misaki (ex-student, ex-girlfriend : let her stay the night when she came crying and being desperate, but he stayed in his car... afterwards, clearly told her off.), Arisa (aggressive and persistent freshman : was considerate since he's a teacher and protected her because he was in the position to... he sensed her dangerous vibe early on so he hinted on to Shimada... didn't give in to her advances despite all her tactics and drawn the line early on.) Shimada - Katayama (goukon guy : dated him halfheartedly 'cuz she's rebellious), Nagisa (pushy and persistent freshman who reminded her of her past determined self : claimed she didn't want to hurt him so gave in and went out with him a couple of times), Fujioka (same-aged Archery club pres who resembled Itou in a lot of ways : heart wavering because it's like dating sensei but being more comfortable and open about it... since the beginning, she admired his form saying he's beautiful and whatnot, and she easily spilled her thoughts and feelings that she couldn't open up even to sensei. In other words, her perfectly safe haven.) See the difference? Err well. Anyway, it's really hard to judge Shimada that badly 'cuz every teenager has her troubles. I mean, I probably would've felt and done the same, who knows. But if my guy was someone like Itou, I feel like I can truly believe in true love. But how do I know that my guy would be like Itou anyway? Do we have to go through the same ordeals? 'Coz if we do, I'm not sure I can handle it before I even confirm he's like Itou... ahh well. I'm just so in love with Itou. He's my ideal, mature guy. And it's a bonus that he's tall and wears glasses, really. Super attractive and lovable, not just with the appearance, but personality as well (I really like the cold vibes he gives off but being very caring with someone he loves)...
