this is a great manga. actually one of the better ones i have read in a long time. great characters who are interesting and pretty well developed. not the typical terribly written drivel where the characters just fall into bed and then they love each other all of a sudden. great artwork. def a great read

 Predictable...

Even though it says that the story is still ongoing, I think 3 volumes is the whole series.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Reading the raws of volume 3, pretty much everything got concluded that needed to be done. Towards the end, the main question that sums up the manga is, should Gamou go into an one-sided, unrequited friendship for the rest of his life, or chose his ex-boyfriend whom he loved when he was younger and who loves him back? With this, Amamiya eventually realizes his feelings for Gamou, and Gamou ended the relationship with his ex-boyfriend and got together with Amamiya. The secretary got with Anzai. I was kind of disappointed that the secretary's relationship with his ex-boss never got develop, but I’m happy he's with Anzai who seems to have been in an unrequited love with the secretary for a while.


This story was a bit too melodramatic for me at times, but it's understandable as it's never easy to confess to a friend that you love them as more than friends, much less doing it to a friend who's the same gender as you are. There was plenty of angst in this manga, and Amamiya played his role as the innocent bystander to the feelings of others perfectly. Although he doesn't mean to attract all of these unwanted attraction, his bright personality gives a reason why others develop feelings for him. As for Gamou, I can't consider him “weak”, but he wasn't as solid as I would have wanted him to be as a main character. His tears and indecision between picking his old love and new love was realistic, but can be irritating for me at times to read.

Anyway, this is a good manga series to read if you want the angst that comes from unrequited love. It's not particularly the best nor does it have a huge impact on me, but it's funny at times and it'll make you sympathize somewhat with Gamou's life a bit. I’ll admit, it was very predictable so, just from small signs, I was able to predict what would happen next in the story and that wasn't too exciting. The female character, Saeki, was the highlight for me, as well as Gamou's ex-boyfriend, Takimoto. I found myself rooting for Takimoto, and yet, wanting him to find someone who was capable of completely loving him also. Saeki was a jewel and she made me laugh the most. I really wished that she would have her own story, but strong females like her just aren't popular, I suppose.

So, all in all, a good read for a hour or so on a rainy day.

I guess it was because her character's facial expressions and attitude were fantastic, but Saeki jumped out as a memorable character to me even though she's definitely a "supporting actress"

I actually don't get why this managa has so many ratings of 10, Don't get me wrong I do like this manga but really it's not her best work IMO. Like a previous reviewer said, the relationship does feel a bit dragged on. It's pretty clear how they feel about each other but i guess there is the friendship that Amamiya is worried about. I'm just a bit annoyed that the mangaka introduced the ex, I actually like that character...

I loved LOVED this manga. I think that it is a great read and more people should know about it because it digs deep. You cheer for the main couple and jeer when the main couple's future is at stake. The author brings in new characters with new dramas....it's really fun! The uke and seme are awesome...bottomline is that I recommend this manga.

I bet everyone have read a manga with typical plot with many characters falling for each other and how their love will get dragged on and on. Most mangaka couldn't come up a good flow like this one. Yes, Amamiya and Gamou's situation has been dragging on and on in the manga but hey, at least there's a flow. There's drama involved. I liked it when how Takimoto's sudden appearance and Kitahara's development of feelings for Amamiya during the climax adds spices to the story! It makes me go all...nervous, like, "what's gonna happen next?!" kind of thing.

Plus, the development of the characters, especially Amamiya is awfully good! I'd be pissed off if he acts like an idiot and ignores Gamou's feelings. But then again, I don't really like the idea of Gamou trying to run away and turn to Takimoto. But anyway, it's a good shounen-ai manga. I'm not really a fan of shounen-ai manga, since I'm more of a yaoi fan but I read this up since it's done by my favourite mangaka. And I'm very pleased with what I've read! Totally recommendable for both shounen-ai and yaoi fans! biggrin

This is definitely a beautiful and heart touching manga! The central theme is of unrequited love, and each character either perpetrates it or suffers it in some form. The main character, Gamou, loves his college friend, Amamiya, but Amamiya is straight and can't return his feelings. Years have passed and now Amamiya is uncertain about just what he feels for Gamou. But both Gamou and Amamiya have other people interested in them, who may just be more suitable for them, yet they are unsure about being with other people.

It isn't dragged out, but there is no quick and dirty gratifying sex scenes. The focus of the manga is more on emotions, especially the inextinguishable hope and desire you have for the one you love even despite knowing a relationship is impossible and nothing can come out of it.

The plot feels prolonged, the relationship feels rather dragged; there's too much characters and her ukes.....well, crying is her standard uke procedures, but it feels like they're crossing that too soon, and one time too many.

Not to mention the lawyer plot doesn't really serve anything.
