Considering the fact that this is but a short indie BL story, the manga is quite enjoyable. I personally liked the fact that a mental issue is addressed, but there are multiple warnings not to take the events of the manga as a realistic depiction of it. It really puts you at ease from the start, so you can enjoy reading without any uncomfortable feelings.

The plot is centred on a complicated relationship between two amusement park workers, one of which has multiple different personalities. If you take this condition as a metaphor, you might even enjoy it a self-search/self-recovery story.

The art is very smooth and ... refined, kind of makes you feel like you're experiencing a dream, so does the dynamic narrative style. The main character is a bit shallow, but does not go below the average level of BL protagonist. It is well compensated by a variety of well-thought personalities in his split-personality love interest, though.

All in all, although short, this yaoi is quite decent and easy to read. And well, since it's short, you can easily finish it even if it's boring and at least enjoy the art.

i personally like psychological themes the best in anime-manga or almost any other form of media. therefore that was what drew me to this manga as well.

the main character is kinda boring to be frank, but well he's not even meant to be the main attraction of the series. - that is to no one's surprise the significant other.

who has DID - which is stated to not be an absolutely correct depiction of the real life disorder, however - as unprofessional as i am in the field - i still find it a bit problematic how it's handled and ...

SPOILER WARNING:

...later treated in the ... story. really felt to me like the easy way out - and that's what makes it a little mediocre in my eyes.

still i did enjoy reading this manga a fair amout even though it doesn't really offer you anything special other than this one theme of having this specific mental disorder.
