Sakurabashi Itsuki’s only hobby is listening to his favorite radio DJ, Yunokuchi Arata (otherwise known as “JUNO”) One day, they happen to cross paths at a local bookstore where Itsuki confesses his admiration. Comment: I liked the comic overall, but I didn’t really like the seme’s personality. And the *** scene? Oh my gods. It was kind of hard for me to read because the uke is so sweet and adorable. I couldn’t imagine him doing something like that. But again, he is 21 years old, and that fact won’t change no matter how much I fawn over him. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ It was steamy, though, so I’ll give it that. I like the mangaka’s art style and their stories. I’m binge-reading them right now. I wouldn’t read it again, but it was a nice read in general. It’s a light read. It’s okay, but I think it could have been better.

Review: I really enjoyed reading this one shot. It has a steady development, there’s consent from both parties (thank the gods), and they both love each other unconditionally. The uke deals with what I believe is internalized homophobia. I wish I could have seen them overcome those obstacles together. I loved this!

Review: This manga rendered me speechless. This was so uplifting and beautiful. This was definitely worth the read.
