I stumbled upon this manga by accident, and even though I didn't particularly love the art style, the first few pages intrigued me so I kept on reading, and I'm glad I did.
The story is quite simple but the characters are what makes this a compelling story in my opinion, Minami is an assertive guy that even if shy, at the same time is not afraid to say what he wants and ask for what he wants when push comes to shove, which makes him a very cute and enjoyable character. Karasuma is also very likable because even though he's a reserved guy who

seems shy, he is truly just in fact a misunderstood introvert with a quite interesting side (I mean, the guy makes games and smut asmr). I like that the chemistry between them was there since the beginning, but the author took their time developing the relationship a little bit more so it felt more believable and deserved when they became a couple. I really hate when authors just put characters together after not more than a hello and a bj.
Moving on, for me the star of all characters in this story is Akitora, he begins as a freaking rude moron, but man does he get a quick (and tiny) redemption arc. I won't spoil much but he becomes best boy by the end and he's seriously my favorite, such a cute little guy!
Now, returning to the art style: I can say it wasn't something I truly enjoyed and if the story hadn't caught my mind I would have dropped this. It has a GRAVE case of yaoi hands, and I feel like the way this artist draws faces is a bit off putting sometimes (at least to my taste). The most redeemable part was when the scenes where drawn in a bit of a chibi style, it wasn't full chibi but it made the characters look super cute.
Anyway, I'm eagerly hoping for volume 2 of this story, hopefully it may be as good or even better than the first one.
