Honestly I found the main story to be underwhelming af. It's not bad, not good, it just sort of.. exists. Couldn't care less about any character or their relationship for that matter. The continuation of Shake from Koi no Shizuku at the end is a bit better but that's not a tough thing to achieve tbh lol.

I'm really confused about what I just read. There were characters that kind of looked like each other, who popped out of nowhere. And there were things which I have no idea why they were happening/how. The art's nice though.

As it said in the beginning of the manga, it looks at "emotions that can't be expressed through words alone." The majority of the story is in the illustration and the looks, postures, gestures between the two main characters. I like that because it translates well to other cultures (like mine!). But still, the words are nice too. Or rather, the sentiments *behind* the words are nice. Although, the translation isn't that bad, though. Not too awkward. But sometimes it didn't convey things clearly.

I'd definitely recommend it if you want something that's character-driven and a little... I don't know the word for it. "Wispy" maybe. If you've watched indie movies that are vaguely artsy, this is kind of like that. <3

If you listen to the song "Sleep" by Dandy Warhols, it goes well with the story and also, it sounds like the story (not the lyrics, but the music).

i don't find the plot to be uneventful; it's just not filled with obvious drama, and the angsting is done quietly. a lot actually happens internally with both yuuri and hideaki. but the story does feel weirdly disjointed in places, and there's not enough background information. what is it with hiromi and oikawa that they're getting involved in the relationship? that doesn't seem like a particularly normal thing to do. also, hiromi himself started out coming across as a potential rival, but he ends up being quite helpful instead, and we're not told what motivates him. furthermore i didn't grok exactly why yuuri took the job. i would have also liked to have a bit more background on the childhood of the two main characters; it was a bit difficult to connect to the "childhood friends" theme without actually seeing anything about that. exactly why did yuuri feel so strongly for hideaki?

kousaka's art is steadily getting better; i didn't see anything paricularly awkward, and it is very pleasing to look at.

Maybe its just me but the story seemed very boring like it just kinda drifts along and and its disconnected in a way. there isn't much of a back story. and the uke seems so incredible desperate and the seme just strings him along which seems to make him even more unsettled and desperate. he's just sitting there desperately waiting for him in part the seme isn't very expressive with his feelings for him at least he doesn't express them to him very well. but it has a beautifal art style so its pleasing to the eye. all in all i'd say this is an ok the story actually isn't bad at all it's just not the best i'v read it felt lacking in a way.

I did good in waiting for all chapters to be scanlated.

I did enjoy the mangaka's art, it was very beautiful and pleasing. But the story, well.. I felt at times that I missing a page or two and had to reread several parts of it a second or third time before I could understand the meaning. The story was also rather ambiguous about the background of the characters, how they met, what they do at the university.

But it;s got a nice pace and a pretty decent storyline. Overall, it deserves an 8.

The art is great but the plot is so uneventful that I forgot what happened each time a new chapter is out, as a result I had to reread the entire story several times, and each time I got reaaally bored. It's not that bad, but it lacks a little something that would takes the story to another level. Really frustrating.

I love this mangaka's art, however I dislike doujinshis and oneshots so haven't really enjoyed much of her work. This one however, was great. I loved the characters (although they were stereotypical/predictable at times) and the storyline was just enough to make me want to read more. I love the way this mangaka tells her stories, and am eagerly awaiting more scanlated chapters
