God, I love this manga.

The misunderstanding that starts this whole series really sets you up for how the couple's relationship starts. It's funny, a little awkward, and cute. All the characters were really fun, I love the two main leads for how real they felt, even the side characters were good! They all got a bit of depth that didn't make them seem like fodder to the story yet didn't overtake the main plot (the romance).

Speaking of the romance, it was so enjoyable to read! As I said previously, it felt so real. All their conflict before getting together was never frustrating or stupid, which ... is a godsend in BL I swear.
As for the art, it fit the story so well, it's Ichikawa Kei!! Never read something by her that I didn't enjoy.

Overall, it's a very good BL manga. It's fun and cute, what more can you ask for in 6 chapters? And if you enjoy the mangaka's other works, you'll definitely like this one too.

Cute manga, the gimmick of the farm housing flying pigs is silly too. The main couple were really sweet and the humor they brought was nice!

My only complaint is the story kinda forgot about the flying pigs existence after the first conflict was over, usually that's fine but if your story has flying pigs as a main plot point...maybe include it more after the first three chapters. Also the extra chapter was weird?? It just didn't feel necessary.

In the end though, the manga was cute. Definitely not a must read but if you wanna read a short bl story with a fun twist, I'd recommend ... reading Mazu wa, Hitokuchi.

Itsuki is the biggest bastard and I love him.

The two main characters really sold me on this manga, their interactions led the whole story and made it much more enjoyable. Yes I know that sounds pretty obvious but trust me..! Itsuki's constant flirting and Hisame's reactions made the whole series amusing and wanting more. Also the times where one of them would be in danger and the other's reaction warmed my heart, whether it be Itsuki's protective fixation for Hisame or Hisame's badly hidden care for Itsuki. If I had to say something critical of the manga, I'd say the lack of closure ... with their relationship. But that's why sequel's exist and I have to keep in mind this is a shounen ai, so it doesn't bother me much.

If you want some historic youkai shounen ai in your life, I greatly recommend Toukaidou Hisame.

I read this on a whim and wasn't expecting it to be this great, I now have 4 cavities from how sweet this was and I don't care.

The characters I immediately latched onto because of their (at first glance) contrasting personality and dynamic they share. The 'somber seemingly uncaring one x the bumbling kinda awkward one' is a favorite of mine and the mangaka executes it well. Their interactions always managed to warm my heart and compelled me to deeply care about them.

Their character designs and how they were drawn also stood out to me, especially Izumo. Speaking of the art style, it's adorable ... and gorgeous at the same time and I love it. I actually didn't know it was a manga at first and assumed it was manhua from the cover art, which I'll give as a compliment.

The story isn't groundbreaking or anything but it's simple and sweet, enough for a short one-shot. Though I do have to say, it felt cut short. When it hit the climax of the story, I was honestly surprised it came up so quickly. But it's only 5 chapters so what can you expect? Would have liked it longer but how it ended though sudden, was satisfying enough.

Overall, it was the sweetest read I've had in awhile and greatly recommend this manga is you like shounen ai.

Let me just say that I loved reading this manga, I at first didn't think I'd love it so much but here we are. Now, I'm not the most seasoned manga reader nor reviewer so bare with me.

I liked the story, even if the whole 'forced to stay together' plot isn't new, the characteristics of it are. The white jewel accessories and there power were interesting, but I can't say much more due to spoilers.

The characters were what made me enjoy this so much, the story was nice but the actions of Yoruma and Sayatoki really brought it together. They at first were extremely suspicious ... of each other due to being from forces and were VERY committed to not trusting each other in the slightest even if they are stuck together. But their development into actually trusting and growing fonder of each other is smooth and you get to see them realize that the other is a good person that has experienced something that makes them like this. By the end of the manga, though is ended perhaps a bit abrupt and could have continued longer (*eyes her other works*), brings together the story and their relationship.

On the art, it's Shiho Sugiura. It's going to look nice, her art style though not revolutionary is a nice addition to the manga.

Only complaints I have is the manga could have easily continued longer, like her other works Silver Diamond & Koori no mamono no monogatari. The manga didn't really incomplete or if it was missing something no, but it feels like it was sort of did the minimum amount to make a nice decent end. The other thing is about the ending battle(?), it felt clustered. Not to say spoilers, but at some points while reading I became confused.

But overall, I really enjoyed this manga. If your looking for a tame shounen ai adventure manga with likable characters and nice art, I greatly recommend Shuuten Unknown.
