Right! So this is my first time writing a review, be nice.

I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this manga. Having read quite a few yaoi I don't tend to get the shoujo giggles as I like to call them that often anymore but this one surprised me.

The story is quite basic. Kensuke meets Michiru-san through a dating site and after they meet he falls in love. It is supposed to be a fling and he knows they both lied about their ages but he still wants to turn it into a real relationship. Of course, Michiru-san ends up being a ... teacher at his school. When they both reveal the truth about feelings and age, they decide to put a hold on the relationship until he graduates.

Now the reason I liked this yaoi particularly is because of the characters. Both are attracted to each other and both are obvious about it. It is refreshing to see characters feeling the same thing instead of one being a closed book with the other being insecure. Both of them want to be together but realize they have to be smart. Often they give in to desire but then remember themselves. This quality brings a dimension of life the characters that makes the story so enjoyable. It is the push and pull on both sides compared with many one stories where there is only one person who is rational and the other doesn't think.
