This yaoi was stunning. This is the first I've read (I think) by this mangaka, now I'm about to go read all her others. The story starts out simple - a simple setting, two "normal" people at a club - one who works there, one who parties...and yet, it's so refreshingly original. This yaoi was breathtaking, as in, seriously, even right now, a good 20 minutes after reading this, and probably for quite a while longer, I am still catching my breath. The atmosphere was a 10/10 -- it made things very moody, confusing, hazy, and everything culminated in a beautiful peak after so much tension. The characters were just like real people to me, the main character was a great representation of a straight man falling in love with a guy for the first time, and that whole yearning about wanting to see him, wanting to see him smile or laugh, being drawn to him constantly, longing to touch him, thinking another guy is cute for the first time... all of that was so real. The author really makes you fall in love with both of the guys, especially Saya. You see the main character falling for him, beginning to have feelings for him, and the readers start falling for him too. Or at least, I was like that. You feel the character's heartbreak, their desperation, their pain, their longing for reconciliation and forgiveness. As bad as I felt for ------- for what happens, I understand that it's a lot to process, and if you're getting ahead of yourself a bit before really knowing what you're getting into, I relate to the mc. I don't think he really struggled with the idea enough, he just kinda went with the current and got lost in his emotions, and when his mind caught up to process the reality of where things were going, he couldn't proceed. It's definitely very sad and very heartbreaking though. Sexuality is just confusing.

The manga is short, but it touches on the very deep, very real feelings of hurt and bullying and homophobia, and the scars it leaves on the people.

I love the main character, yuusuke. he's relatable, more so than saya, i think, although i definitely feel for saya. his budding love for saya, starting with realizing that finally there's someone who can understand him and read him and know him. They're so hot, too. I'm not saying that in a shallow way, but I mean that the chemistry, especially the tension, between them is seriously sizzling. There were times I had to take a break and breathe and just stare at a panel.

This manga is just wonderful. Read it if you want to feel and fall in love.

Really really cute~! Second manga I'm reading today and this one was so much better! It's definitely worth your time for a quick, adorable story.
The artwork is really nice and both characters have strong enough personalities for a one volume story. Saya is incredible, I want to put him in a bottle and take him home. Yuusuke is quiet and kind, and although that is usually not my type of seme, it worked for him!
Surprisingly for a story so short, the plot is not at all what I expected! It was really unpredictable, so that I enjoyed it a lot.
I wish this was longer so they could stretch it more, make Saya's past deeper.

damn it was so good, really, only if it would be longer!!! i adored those two!!
tho the side charas didnt have faces xDD
i liked the feelings, sadness, confusion and pain. i mean i felt them properly like the charas, so at the end i was sooo happy for them!! damn but it should be longeeeer!!!

So great things about this manga:
- It subverts typical BL cliches, while having some cliches of its own.
- The tachi actually WAITS when the neko asks to wait! Wow!
-
- FANTASTIC art. Incredibly sexy, and the mood is great. Things flow nicely.

Like some other reviewers before me, I enjoyed the fact that the seme was portrayed as being hesitant, and basically scared, at the act of sex for the first time with another man especially when he'd believe he was straight up until now. I wish this was portrayed more in yaoi manga. So yeah, and 8 just for that.

I personally thought the art was only so-so.

The manga is finally complete and I can safely say it certainly is different from standard yaoi. It's a very exciting read with new developments (especially in ch 3). The conclusion was good also, though I would have wished for it to be a bit longer.

Again, I am not getting disappointed by this mangaka. The art is gorgeous as always and the atmosphere is very erotic. But without being unnecessarily senseless or smut driven. I just get a genuine romantic feeling when I read this.

Anyway, give this one a try I'm sure you'll be able to enjoy it.

There're things about this mangaka that I like, but also quite a few things that rub me the wrong way. She draws her seme and uke pretty much the same every time. Not that it's uncommon, but after you've read a few works by the same author, you kinda want to see something different. Then there's the thing of the uke kind of being what you'd tag as a "crybaby". If not crying, then almost crying quite often. Lots of blushing, as well.
I do come back to reading this mangaka, because she offers the regular stories with a twist + hot sex and good art.

Based on chapters 1-3 (and looking at the raws for 4).

The story is very interesting so far. It started off really cute and generic. And then all of a sudden, i get these wave of emotions thrown at me. We get glimpses of Saya's past that deals with very dark issues revolving around homophobia and bullying, which just crushes me. I like when manga's focus on the deeper meaning of homosexuality and not make it out to be a perfect, happy, and fulfilling life because it's not always sunshine and roses. I wish it was and society as a whole still needs to work on that. Chapter 3 Rant: Enough with my rambling, the art is really amazing. I'm totally digging Ogeretsu-sensei's art style. The characters are great and with each chapter i read, i desperately want to learn more about them.
