Description
From Be Beautiful:
A lighthearted romantic comedy that lampoons the adult film business, the mainstream media, and the natural vanity of actors while exploring the earliest stages of a brand new relationship.
Includes the story Fuyu no Semi in vol.5:
It is the Bakamatsu and early Meiji Period. Akizuki Keiichirou and Kusaka Touma stand of opposite sides of the political scale of the time but still, something as fragile as the shell of a cicada binds these two men together in a tragic and cruel fate. A story of friendship, love and seperation as well as reunion and sacrifice.

this is really a good yaoi to read ! i don't know what else i can say , the art is good, the story line is great, there is no twisted ending that makes you regret the whole manga, there is a lot of romance and cute scene of jealousy , the two main characters are adorable!
This is my Recovery Manga.

I had been suffering from lack of new yaoi manga which has a good art and strong story lines. While reading after reading Haru wo Daiteita, I got back some feeling that I had been forgotten for a long time. It had been for a while I didn't have that kind of feeling that I miss someone or something after I had read or watched some stories. Haru wo Daiteita brought me back that feeling. I love this manga so much. I have been known Haru wo Daiteita for a long time. But for some reason, I didn't get any interest in the manga nor the anime. I am glad i got to read the manga. I prefer the manga than the anime 'cause the anime is missing some parts of story.
The Haru wo Daiteita has a good strong story line and of course, sex sense as well unlike most of the yaoi whose story line are weaker when they focus on the sex sense more. I wish Nitta Youka Sensei as well as other mangaka, can create more yaoi manga like Haru wo Daiteita. Thank you so much Sensei. <3

i don't know what but i can assure you it's something good..
The characters i believe, are the reason why the story was so good. So, for me the plot was good, but the characters are what makes you fall in love with... their mutual love...
I can't call it the greatest manga of all (not that i have a complain, is just the feeling left) but is definitely worth reading... No waste of time.

Wow, that ending was just perfect. It made cry, really.
The whole series was amazing but the ending, I dont have enough words to discribe how great it was, really. I mean, it blowed my mind over.However, it touched me deep also because it reminded me of my reasons for my career option.
I had read other Youka Nitta's works, but by far, this one was really the best of them. She started well but kept improving till she reached to the end wich is the climax(in my opinion).
The way her characteres grow is amazingly portrayed. Both their careers and personal lives are shown and one can actually relate to them. "Take good care of your body for the sake of protecting me" or something like that was said by Katou. Cheese, endeed but an intese line as well (I loved it, im a cheesy person after all xD).
Let's end it here because I cant give enough prises to this unique manga.
Im leaving with a fluffy feeling all over me xD

I love how lozzenator camaired this to "queer as folk"! ^_^ I love this series. It has hot sexy scenes, fashion, comedy, and great characters. This is one of my favorites series of all time. I especially love the "movie" that they did "Fuyu no Semi" that was amazing. It made cry lol. If you are a huge yaoi fan like me, you have to give this a try!

i don't usually read yaoi, but this one was pretty good. i like the characters a lot. the love story is told in a way that everyone can connect to. the scenes are hot. and story line is ok. the illustration was awesome.
this manga kind of reminds me off Skip Beat! manga (sans the adult-ness) because both are set in an entertainment industry.

Maybe this manga of YAOI-ness could be in my top 10 of Yaoi. I liked the characters, the fashion, and especially the fact that Iwaki and Kato aren't just worried about their relationship but also as actors. Once in awhile, it gets annoying that Kato is really annoying, whiney, has unnecessary competition and jealousy about the men surrounded Iwaki, but otherwise it was good. It does get a little too sexual for my tastes as they have always have sex but WTH, they're adults, that's what they do.

i like it. but i think that this description i found fits better:
Deals with issues of male self esteem and with boundaries in a relationship. Not as light hearted as it seems to be on the surface. Also, the two male leads are both masculine, proud, strong men. Again, a departure from the traditional seme-uke types in countless yaoi manga. example 1. One of the leads says "If I wanted you because I thought you looked like a woman, I would have just gone for a woman." example 2. The male leads get propositioned by two uke-types but could not "do it".

This is definetely one of the best yaoi mangas ever. Everything is perfect. The charackters, the storyline and the drawings are getting better and better too. That really is a must read.^^
It´s already completed but it would be wonderfull if the mangaka makes another volume.
