Definitely worth reading for the first story. The second story could have been just as good, or even better - I really liked the way the friendship between the two guys was portrayed, but

It's a pity, because after the first story I just expected more.

Anyway, no too much to say, but I really liked the way the author portrayed a person who had experience in love and someone who didn't (yes, it was cliche but she did a really good job anyway ).
What else...ah, yeah...

I also like how this doesn't get overly dramatic and cheesy, like some manga out there. Anyway, I will have to wait for more chapters and I hope I don't get disppointed because this is really good so far.

Rated 7 only for the first story, and just the first. The story was cute and touching. The characters were flawed, but still loveable.

The second story was frustrating in a lot of aspects and I would be happy to forget it.

The third story was meh. It would've been better if it didn't focus so much on the goldfish and lips.

The rape in the second story completely ruined this for me. There was no indication that it was coming, then it was very in-your-face, and it was nearly forgotten. It would have been a cute little story, except for those rape scenes inserted (and they didn't even flow well, really, but almost like they were literally inserted just to have a certain amount of graphic sex in the book). If I tried to think it was just a weird fantasy on the one character's part, the story works better, but it's no good.

The first story is sweet, though. The last one is weird. Mostly not a book I have any interest in picking up again.

I really like Ootsuki Miu's artstyle, and her stories aren't bad either. This manga is no exception, and overall it was a nice read.

I was kind of surprised though,


Worth a read, especially the first couple of chapters. The extra about the goldfish boy wasn't good though.

It was worth reading. The artwork was pertty nice and I liked the stories, especially the first one. The second one was looking even better until ch4. I'm not that into rape even though you see it very often in yaoi. So yeah, it definetely lowered the points in my case.

But all in all a decent read.

that I actually liked the panels more when the characters had no drawn faces? Ah, I'm sorry if I just freaked you out, but seriously, everything about Ootsuki Mui-sensei is great, from the storytelling to the backdrop, the clothing, the shading, it's a really neat style, the kind I usually fall in love with -- except for one or other thing during the sex scenes, which I'd be better off without, but still... it's all the smut for ya, come and get it~

However, the faces were so odd. The noses were awfully big, it seemed, and the eyes too, considering the shape of their heads. Sometimes were the lips and more so, the tongues. There was always some unevenness about the face that really put me off. That and a certain disproportional.... ern... something... down there...

Well, that being said, I really liked the first story. It felt a little rushed sometimes but in the end I still buy their love. It wasn't very smutty and had something of the "first love" anxieties that I always love.

As for the second story though, it started out alright but it kind of went down hill. The reason why they grew apart made no sense to me and I see no legitimate reason why Akira would hold on to what he said in the very end for so long. Also, the way they kiss and make-up in the end, forgetting everything that has been said and done, is tasteless and wrong. They are neither cute nor believable as a couple.

I would recommend the first story, not the rest of the volume...

The first story was pretty sweet, it kept me reading despite my efforts trying to avoid yaoi. I'm not one cut out for all the sex stuff shown on stage. Those are better off the page. I liked Nonami, and I appreciated they kept the sex far off so it was easy to skip. It's too bad they didn't stick with the first one and continued it out. Would've wanted to see more.

The rest of the stories didn't leave an impression on me as the first one did. Forgot it all when I finished reading lol. I suppose that means I don't have a right to say anything too bad about it though.

I only found the first story interesting. Both characters were likeable and it was just sweet. As for the other two I didn't care too much. I also gave this only a six, because I didn't like the artstyle. They all just looked like little boys to me even though in college already. I'm just not too fond of that.

Gotta say, the first story was my favourite (unfortunately because of that, it kinda went downhill for me, but the other stories were good too, just not quite the same). I really liked seeing the progression of the relationship in the first story.

The art was great, plus great smut for those who like it. In general, the stories had a theme that seemed to say 'you never know what twists and turns will show up in life, but where you end up can be a really great place'. All the stories had a feel-good vibe in the end, so if you like happy endings, this one's a good read.

Gave it a 10/10 rating for the first story. The others would probably get about an 8/10.
