This manga has a good plot to it. It is quite entertaining. However, it didn't quite touch me emotionally, which is what I'm usually looking for. I might have rated it higher if it weren't for the art. Somehow the protagonists' feelings didn't come across right. Hence the 7.

The uke's such a slut. Fudge. Or maybe that's the impression I got because of how the story developed.

okay correction: my mistake for reviewing without finishing the story
I won't edit what I said first since I wrote it in the middle of the last chapter. But that's the impression I got and what, the writer waiting till the very last minute to clear it all up? Make the uke likeable. Like hell you can change my mind at the very last minute. It wasn't even a "twist" of events so explaining things at the very last minute doesn't make the flaws forgivable.

The seme's like the "ideal" guy. I know that's nonesence labeling him as an "ideal" but I just (ugh I hate myself for saying this) think he deserves better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I REALLY DON'T LIKE THE UKE. I'm just purely ranting. Like when you don't like a piece of cake. You try to seem humble by saying, it's got it's good points so its acceptable bla bla bal but really, I just. dont. like. this. uke. I'm going to remember him as the worst uke ever! Personality-wise of course. His denial's way off. It's too much. If I were the seme I would've just given up. To hell with such a stubborn, indecisive, insensitive, COWARD etc etc etc

At the end all I could say was "WHATEVERRRRR" T.T

PS
I'm raiting the story as a whole. It was interesting, beer and everything 8)

and likeable characters who, while this manga falls a tad short of realism, still behave well within the realm of the possible. i like both main characters; sawatari is such a forthright guy who doesn't fidget around once he has his feelings figured out, and shino, while more closed off, still does not shy away from going to sawatari and telling him of an incident that might make sawatari distrust him. and this one is actually paced well; it doesn't drag anywhere, and i didn't feel the ending was rushed. there's no love at first glance here, but a steady growing of the relationship; there are problems, but they're not blown out of proportion nor created out of thin air to drive the plot.

very pleasant read. i'm still not enamored with tsunoda's art, alas, or these would rank higher.

Tsunoda-sensei's stories always surprise me with how likeable they are and how easy they go down. There is nothing really special about them, but they are so yummy and sweet.

The seme is so earnest, honest and direct. The uke is developed with great empathy and understandable as a closed-off, but still smiling sort of guy. The theme running through the story of long term trust and love in a relationship verses simply a physical relationship with a temporal quality was very romantic and fully delivered. The was the odd lose end (like Shino's dismay at not showering), but it was minor.

The scenes chosen to tell the story were full of impact and a gradual tempo that made the characters' changes and motivations completely believable. For example, Shino's finally realizing that someone wants him for himself and will not leave him was built up with a series of seemingly unconnected events.

I really felt a strong *pang!* for the poor seme when his little love told him he didn't want or need a lover!

This is very cute and spunky. The plot isn't horribly cliché, and the art is beautiful. The characters are like-able, and the manga itself isn't so boring that you lose interest in the middle to wander off and do other things. It reminds me a of Kimitachi Otokonoko (http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=5738), so if you like that, you'll also like this. Sure, the plot isn't absolutely realistic, but that's what makes it so cute.
