Okay, I won't give you the summary like most do, I am just going to jump into it. As far as yaoi's go, I've definitely read better, but the unique thing about this one was the whole marriage thing. It seems to me that most yaoi's try to stray away from the traditional set "heterosexual" concepts like marriage. Obviously in most places it's not even legal, but this yaoi defied that unspoken taboo.
It did it well enough, it could have easily been a little slower in it's pace, but, because it gave us a glimpse of that whole "marriage life" kind of thing it
...
was fun! In fact, more than it was sexy, it was funny, in that endearing "aww too cute" kind of way. You couldn't help but get attached to the characters and just find them beyond adorable. I was particularly fond of the first couple, it was just so sweet.
Though despite it's pace, it did hit on an type of yearning one sometimes feels when involved in a same-sex relationship (I can talk, I'm a lesbian after all). So I could understand how one might think of things like marriage and how it affects you. They hit that nail on the head good and well and for me, because of my situation, I could connect to that. They did do very well on that aspect, and you see it in full display with the first couple.
All in all, I found that this manga was unique in a lot of ways, it was funny, it was sad, it was suspenseful but most of all it was a good balance of it all. I wish it was longer, but as I think on it, I think it's fine as it is. Though if you're new to yaoi, or looking for something with more meaning, I suggest you look elsewhere, you won't find it here.
