Even though this is yaoi and there isn't really too much of a plot, it's still a cute story nonetheless of adolescent school boys fooling around with friends and learning to fall in love. I'm not too terribly fond of the uke's personality though, or at least not with how he was portrayed. I think the author could've made him more likeable, but it's not like I completely hate him or anything, so it's not as if this is a big concern. Oh and the smut is pretty hot.

I wish that the uke teases the seme more before he accepts his feelings, i hope he pushed him more to the corner until the seme is super crazy about him (am i a sadist? Lol) but the story is pretty good it is refreshing and not boring, the art is good to.

I was shocked when reading this manga, because my expectations were already high given the fact that Tenzen Momoko is a great mangaka but damn! This is just... perfect!
I loved the characters, the tension, the passion and emotion that is in this!
The protagonist is great, has an interesting but not too exaggerated personality in which he has aspects of both, being shy and being in command, as well as a little sadistic streak which makes for an entertaining emotional rollercoaster ride together with him!
The love interest is not your typical, controlling, uncaring and cool seme, no, he is shy, easily embarrassed and eager to keep his crush a secret!
He's the kind of character who'd, out of love, would do anything for his partner, and never hurt him.
The characters in combination are just so refreshing from the usual Boys Love genre stereotypes!
I love the odd story of an uke who is strong and in command, who has power over the seme, is smart and calculating.
But this manga doesn't only have that, it also has a main couple that just loves one another... no plots, no hate and hurt going on... just love and insecurity and the worries of first love and experiences...

This manga is a great read! It's neither too fluffy-pink-cottoncandy-like BL, nor is it too dark and depressing. It feels like a positive, somewhat realistic mix! AND OH ALL THIS SEXUAL TENSION!
Read it!

So Pretty~ So Sweet~! (♡⌣♡ʃƪ)
It's so refreshing and really good! But this is manga that have a really good thing that i never expected before. This one is different from others, and that's why i love it! Both of the protagonist is really a good character which mean they're not an annoying character and that's why it's easy for me to read this manga. The art and the plot is adorable! I would love to recommend it! ♥

Well I think the plot and concept of this Manga were really good. But there could have been so much more to it. I felt like potential was going to waste here. "I love you, I love you" unfortunately just doesn't quite cut it for me.
Nevertheless the art was very nice and I liked the characters. Even though I would have appreciated a little more depth and development. Anyway this was still an entertaining read.

Mostly I go by art - if it doesn't please me, I don't read it. With this manga, however, though it isn't particularly bad, it wasn't one of the best things about it but that didn't even matter. I'm not even sure what got me so intrigued; nothing much happens plot-wise. I'd venture a guess it's all about the characters. I love a sensitive seme and a cold meanie uke. I think Mashita's behaviour was sort of explained actually. And I can relate to getting some sort of satisfaction from witnessing the impact you have on your lover. It's probably a bit of a power-trip. Some mangakas take the idea way overboard but here I thought it was done tastefully. The chemistry between the couple is amazing as well and the deep emotions and love come across nicely. It was also kinda realistic in a nice way. If the art was any better it'd be a full 10/10. Still, more than worth it!

there is nothing particularly new about this high school romance, which just proves that it's not WHAT, but HOW something is written that makes it interesting. i love this pairing; they're both real characters with distinctive personalities, not just cardboard cutouts slotted into the seme and uke roles. and not everything gets resolved with a mutual confession, but insecurities (not artificially created dumb misunderstandings) are still throwing up obstacles, and will continue to do so, plus their personalities provide some natural clashing. its very well paced, and wow, that kissing scene is out of this world hot. heck, public toilet sex doesn't usually turn my crank, because, well, i remember exactly how non-hot the reality of it is, but here it's very well done. goes to show that one needn't draw every vein on the dangy bits to make a sex scene steamy.

the part i can't ever really understand, and which is (distressingly) common in manga, at least shounen and shoujo, is the concept of bullying the person one loves. mashita IS mean at the start, and if i put myself in matsushima's shoes, that must have been very painful. teenage hormones and angst are bad enough on their own; i think it's some rather twisted psychology that wants to see a loved one suffer, and it always turns me off to some degree. but i can't really blame one mangaka for what's a common trope.

overall this was very satisfying and will stay with me for a while.

I picked this one up because the cover, title, and synopsis on the back caught my eye. When I finished it, I was glad I did. So many oneshots released lately have been dull, boring, and all basically the same. This one was not. I liked the soft quality to the art. It added to the quality of the manga. The story was simple but had a definite point. The characters played nicely off of each other. You got to know enough about them to care what happened to them. This is important if a story is going to stick with a reader. I liked Matsushima the best, probably because he is more emotional and vulnerable. Mashita has a little bit of attitude, and a touch of a mean streak. He is even a little controling, in the fact that he keeps putting on the brakes and leaving Matsushima hanging sometimes or pushing him away. The story is enjoyable, and well worth reading. Not like some of the ones you forget 3 days after reading them.

... I don't really see how Mashita was especially mean...

I really enjoyed this it's not your typically yaoi plot. I loved the way Matsu kept on teasing Mashita even though Matsu already knew Mashita was in love with him. It's not your typically characters in a yaoi story I liked all the characters it was a great read.

I'm highly thinking about buying the volume
