[No spoilers] So like I highly recommend this if you are looking to read something light-hearted and fun. It is absolutely cringe-free, drama bs free, no annoying characters, just fun, consent & chill! And really it's just soooooooo damn funny. I don't remember when was last time BL manga made me laugh so hard. The mature scenes are not bad either. Art is not top tier but still pretty good too. The story is not anything overly outstanding but it's funny, cute and some minor details are amusingly realistic. Overall it's just really very enjoyable. Go give it a read :~]
__________________________

tl;dr Don't waste your time on this garbage.
You know, when you read its prequel, you cringe at the fact, that it's about a minor and an adult, but you're like, "well, it's cursed, but since the minor is top, whatever I guess...", all just weak excuses, but the plot is somewhat interesting so you're willing to overlook this atrocity and pretend that mf is a college student. When you start reading this volume, it becomes so obvious that this is just a cursed, dumb worthless manga, that you head may start aching and you may start questioning your life choices. Especially if you don't drop ... it even after that realization... :'|
Story: 1
What story? I don't even remember what was it about. Aloof psychopath "seme" and clueless "cute uke"(who's cute? that mf is ugly as hell, and more years added certainly didn't do him any favors. cute, my ass) doing what... going on a trip? Give me a break... Also if you love subplots going nowhere, adding nothing to the story, you're gonna enjoy this :)
Art: 5
I've seen worse
Character: 3
Like I said, I don't enjoy the age gap, don't enjoy "cool" tops "imma wanna fck let's go I'm so hot rn look at my completely emotionless face" and certainly don't enjoy dumb frigid bottoms "I'm tired and don't really wanna have sex, idk why you wanna do it since we've already done it last month? but whatevs I guess you can't be helped you horny beast, here is my ass it's your birthday present, and no sex after that until the second coming". I managed to read all chapters available (19) because of the side trans character (and also because I need to step my self-love game up). She is cute. But everyone calls her a boy, thank you Japan, you're so progressive. Absolutely don't read if that was a major trigger for you in the prequel, it gets only worse because it gets even more obvious that she is trans and not a crossdresser.
Enjoyment: 3
I just looove when a love story is about an ugly bottom who doesn't love sex! What could be more appealing to a guy? Nothing. But few points for the young lady.
Overall: 4
I'm very generous. But judging from the score and the fact that few people even added it to their favourites, some folks do be enjoying this bul- I mean this manga. I don't want to upset people too much.

Spoiler-free. The whole manga feels like a bad trip. It's just weird, chaotic and... well, bad. Weird elements really makes you think stuff like "I wouldn't want to be this mangaka's neighbor, god knows what's in their head", it may sound intriguing for some, but it's the creepy eery kind of weird with a good pinch of cringe. And about the 'shounen ai' tag... it's like, this manga tries to be josei, slice of life, comedy, shounen ai, all at once... but fails. 'Shounen ai' is what loosely stitches this bloody mess together... or, like I said, tries to.
Art is somewhat interesting in the ... first volume I think... closer to the end it becomes worse, interestingly enough.
Characters... *sighs* let's not go there (there is nowhere to go).
Enjoyment... after the final chapter you end up feeling guilty for the hate crime against yourself, does it sound enjoyable to anyone. Well sometiimes there is a funny moment, but usually it's a trash kinda fun which adds to the severity of the hate crime previously mentioned.
Anyways I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this weird garbage.

[a minor spoiler... i guess] I liked the premise and the art cover so I glanced a bit over existing reviews and decided to give this manga a read. And I was quickly left severely disappointed and mad. I dropped right after the rape scene, which occurs right in the first chapter. It's not really a spoiler, but more of a trigger warning to those who like me absolutely loathe that bs of a plot necessity. Another rape yaoi manga... like, are we ever gonna evolve past this? Damn. At least, you can skip these "gems" of a manga world thanks to people who bothered ... to write a trigger warning to let others know what's up. [thank you reviewers who does that]
The art is bad too. I mean, faces are ugly, and that's kinda the most important part for me.
Overall rating 3/10. Just to not make people who liked it completely mad and than having them come to my page and complain.

Spoilers free. In short: don't read this manga. It's horrible.
Why? I keep asking myself that too! Why does it exist? The famous art style doesn't help the situation. With Nakamura Asumiko's name you read the manga expecting good things to happen but they don't. Instead, silly and unreasonable things keep piling up.
What to expect from this manga: good art style, unreasonable characters and ridiculous situations, whoring shown in a good light, pedophilia shown in a good light, suicide taken lightly, stupid things said about the holocaust. A bit too much for only six chapters... But it was supposed to be all serious and dramatic and ... deep, eh, Nakamura Asumiko-san? It was published as a prequel to J no Subete three years after JnS was. Makes you think...

Well, that was really bad. A guy who loves bodies of little boys, finds a 'legal' real love? How romantic. Come on. A pedophile is a poor sick person that needs therapy, it is not a plot device for anything nonchalant. It's a tragedy for such person and sometimes for the people around. This is not a thing to take lightly. It's hard to believe that there are some adults who can be so irresponsible as this mangaka. I wouldn't let it be published, if I could. At least we as readers can be responsible enough to not just blindly consume all BL available, or ... else mangakas are going to continue to produce 'edgy' bullshit and possibly harmful stories.
