Description
🔗Bookwalker, INKR, Renta!
When Yuiji accidentally overhears his classmate Yamato confessing to another friend that he's gay, his perspective shifts.
Seeing Yamato in a new light, Yuiji does his best not to let prejudice color his view, but he still finds himself overthinking his classmates' interactions now.
He especially notices the way Yamato looks at one particular boy: Yuiji's own best friend.
Even though he tells himself he shouldn't get involved, Yuiji finds he just can't help it; watching Yamato's one-sided love draws him in a way he never expected.

At first, it's empathy, knowing that the boy Yamato has his sights on is definitely straight and has no idea. But as his own friendship with Yamato develops and the two of them grow closer through a mutual study group, Yuiji comes to truly care about Yamato as a person, regardless of his sexuality.
He only wants Yamato to be happy, and to be able to express his true self.

I can't predict it. I mean...
Either way, I'm so happy when I found out sensei decided to continue working on this title!

I really do want Yamato and Yuiji to end up together... but if it's gonna be another friends-to-lovers trope in a cliche way, I think I'll be slightly disappointed. Something BIG and WOW has to happen between them (ahh idk how to describe it I'm sorry for having high expectations of this title). I guess sensei also thinks the same and that's probably why she put this title on a rest for some time (or probably just because she wants to focus more on Nomi×Shiba, they're also the cutest uwu)

This manga portrays youth dealing with romance, friendship, sexuality, and acceptance. I only know people's experiences being in the closet or being out, and this manga pretty much fits these. So I hope that aspect is indeed realistic. Other aspects are realistic, though.
Characters are so nicely written. They're not perfect, and thankfully they know it, as they try to "make up" for their flaws. They're not written too extravagantly, like a yes-man. I know lots of people like them in real life.

Honestly, I don't want Yuiji and Yamato to end up together as lovers... It's like they were made to be friends... I just want each of them to get their own happiness without them being in a romantic relationship or falling in love with one another. They're just so... friends. Haha... I hope someone also thinks this way.

This is the BEST manga I've read which treads on the topic of growing up gay. The fear, the anxiety, the hiding, the ways things can go wrong, the ways things turn out OK — it quite thoroughly spells it out.
Also, to emphasize, I think that this is NOT a love story, rather, it's a coming-of-age story of a gay youth in Japanese society.

if you're looking for "i like you-lets have sex" stories than this one isn't for you.
it's proceeding at a very slow and steady pace and at the moment seems to be more about friendship and accepting yourself and others for who they really are rather then about love in particular. i admit it though, like most of the readers i'm shipping our two protagonists, especially since yuiji is so apathetic when it comes to his girlfriend.
sadly, it seems like scanlator drop it/ disappeared so we may never know the ending. i hope someone else picks up the rest.

Usually, shounen ai or yaoi is very unrealistic and meant for pleasing a certain audience, but this one is different. The main character was created to show the thought process/reaction of an average high schooler after meeting someone gay for the first time, and throughout the manga you get to see the concerns that gay students actually have while growing up.
I always find flaws with anything I read (I wish I didn't), but regardless, I still feel that this is one of my favorite reads so far. However, I would not recommend this manga if you're just looking for the typical yaoi manga. It can be a bit boring or long for those who are not into this genre.

I love the art in this manga =D The story is also very sweet. I must say that it is a very slow manga but it works. I love how we get the POV of someone else and not the main protagonist in the beginning and I love how their friendship develops. Although there are people shipping them, I'm one of em, I still hope that they remain friends because their friendship is so very beautiful and touching.

I stumbled upon this randomly and it has become one of my top 5 bl manga. It is very different in the best way possible. The characters are amazingly relatable and over-all pleasant and down to earth. Yuiji is one of my all time favourite characters in the manga world. What I absolutely loved about it and what sets it apart from the overwhelming majority of the manga is how realistic it is. So empathic. I am not exaggerating in telling you that I screenshoted a few pages because it provided some life insight. Things that I spent time unveilling that I need help with, this manga shook me up by mentioning them one by one; simply amazing! I just think it's a very valuable piece of work to read. No sex scenes as at the time of this review (do not let this bother you one bit, it has enough substance that you will not crave it). It has become one of those epic reads and a future reccommendation.
