2nd review
and still not used to this stuff. I thought since no one reviewed, I would take a shot at it.
I might over rate and ramble while writing this review. Just warning...
Story (8/10)
Interesting way to start a BL love story. Some parts of the relationship goes too fast. Other parts could get a bit cliché...
Art (10/10)
I absolutely LOVE Junko's work. It makes you want to go AWWW with every page. Expressions are REALLY adorable.

TL;DR: 8/10
Copied from my Tumblr review This story guys. I can’t… Gah, it feels good. I mean, there are some cliches here and there but it touches them so very gently.

Not that this is terrible, some would say that’s not entirely good either, I love being frustrated and to the point where I wish to throw my laptop at the wall. When it comes to rom-coms like this, this should always be feeling they ... Mar 2, 2023
Was going for a fluffier angle, but wasn't really there for me.
Story was quite cliché and honestly forgettable. It's hard to write something memorable in one volume, but the story lingered a little too long in the wrong parts. We spent way too long learning about Mio's bad luck with girls, and too long establishing that he gets along with Yugi and his college friends. Once things actualy start moving, we don't spend nearly enough time going into why the characters feel the way they do. In the later chapters, Yugi's feelings feel way too convenient. There's one act that may have justified part of it, ... Feb 3, 2022
I picked up this manga because I am an immense fan of Junko and took a vow long ago to read all her works. Some of her works are amazing and I will never not love her art. This story, however... was very mediocre.
The story felt very rushed- it really could have been stretched out much longer. Even the individual events occurred so quickly, I would be jolted from my immersion. For example, one page was the couple kissing and the next was straight prawn. What? I was so surprised by how quickly things escalated. The characterization, while being mostly consistent, would occasionally be all ... |
