i had found out about this manga through the mangaka's other work "usaki no mori" which is another fantastic work

i want to specify a trigger warning for this mangakas work as it does include rape,,, its rather uncomfortable to read and even more uncomfortable on how it's taken as not a heinous act,,, it's quite disappointing as the mangaka nails everything else to do with queer relationships.

story- 7/10
this runs quite slowpaced at the start with the characters developing a special friendship in which they meet at the rooftop,,, after the second novel it completely flips and they bond extremely quickly, its interesting ... to see as I'm more keen on the slow burning romance but it was quite realistic in that sense; they were both straight forward.

art- 9/10
i love this mangakas art,,, me: a full on lesbian squealing in my bed at 5 am since the boys make these absolutely monumental facial expressions of yearning.

character- 9/10
both characters are relatively fleshed out and enjoyable,,, characters making mistakes and acting out in toxic ways can be interesting and relatable to read although I wouldn't say I see myself in either I do appreciate a well developed mental block that the main character portrays.

enjoyment- 9/10
yes, aside from that one scene.

overall- 9/10
if you enjoy bl centring around relatively masc characters I would recommend this, its a light read with a plot of personal trauma and development and the obvious cute boys falling in love

I really liked how this Yaoi is a bit deeper than any other typical Yaoi manga out there.It's about a guy named Shuichiro, who's known to be a good singer but had a bad experience with an ex friend and Shuichiro decided to quit music because of that incident. He's also having an affair with the schools nurse. Then he mets Kon on the school rooftop, Kon is an another student who has a passion for photography and is rumoured to not really talk to anyone.

Kon and Shuichiro get along nicely until they had a bit of a fall out which led Shuichiro ... not seeing Kon for a few years. They both reunite with Shuichiro in a band and Kon working as a full time photographer. Of course that leads to saucy scenes so imma stop there.

Btw guys, I'm still laughing at the fact that a sudden group of cats made an appearance on the last chapter but that's all I'm gonna say. It's gonna be stuck in my head for a long time, just dang read it lads!
