This is directed to Banita. I wouldn't really says that it was the authors point to claim that what he feels is s different kind of love.

For example, during the first few paged of the fourth chapter he said he fell in love with him. And stated that people might laugh at him for proclaiming his love but they don't believe in it. Since most of the time he did what society wanted him to do, deny, deny, deny. But he chose to be with Imagase in the end. And later in the chapter what redeem my ill thoughts of him was when Tamaki told him that he already belonged to his eex. Not even the author herself can deny that this id love.

The thing is, when everyone else cried, I smiled. I couldn't help smiling through the cruelty and the angst and everything hurtful. Kyouichi has turned into an incredibly rich character, and though nobody liked him from the start... He's turned into an amazing person.
It didn't happen in the first book, but now that they're a actual reversible couple, I can really say I appreciate the flippable dynamic.
There were a lot of confusing things, and I think it's a translation thing.
Still... Oh my god that was a masterpiece ugghh. Well, the ending wasn't as good as I would have liked, but it was epic nonetheless.

I still don't understand if Imagase really loves Kyouichi or not--I think he does--the point is that he loves Kyouichi too much, but the story keeps saying he doesn't, and then doesn't. And Kyouichi loves him back, but his love is unrequited? He and the author keeps saying that that kind of love is different, but I don't see how. Argh, so confusing. All I know is that they're both head over heels for each other, so why are you pretending it's more complicated than it actually is. As beautifully executed as it was, it hurts. I hate "someday" endings.

As they say, love can't be measured. But try telling that to an insecure gay man who's stuck with the realization that the man he loves can't love reciprocally. And then here's another (straight) man who doesn't know what he feels and what to do about it? Or even how to convince someone else that it's okay despite all things? The manga deals with these issues but can't say it completely resolves it but most people don't in real life, imo.
Sort of scary, sad, beautiful, and sweet. I could relate so strongly to both. Especially liked the last conversation between the main characters.

i just feel that their love is much more real than most other love i had read, and for that it is quite painful too. their indecisiveness, going back and forth, hurting each other and possessiveness make the reading a harrowing but satisfying one. i think every yaoi fan should read this.

Don't look at the page # just keep reading.
At times I got really sad if the story ended abruptly. Then found out there were more chapters. That made me happy.
The story and plot feels realistic. The character development, art, use of space, emotions were all too amazing and real to shrug off as JUST ANOTHER YAOI MANGA. There was comedy relief when things were getting too intense (which was a life-saver >A<). Mizushiro-san really knows how to tug at people's heart strings. 10/10 which I rarely ever give to any manga. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every moment of this.

This one made me feel kinda sad. It was so realistic! It was a good read though but I could really sympathise with both of the main characters. If you're looking for something more real and not fluffly lovey dovey then this is for you. Otherwise this might make you cry lol. ALSO I love how they switched positions in bed, seme became uke and uke became seme. So rare to find in yaoi!

I honestly don't know what I should feel. It just makes me think about how hard love is, and how complicated. After reading this, I definitely feel bad for Tamaki, well I feel bad for all three of them. It is so sad, they must hurt so much. I really find that gwkimmy's comment says so much of how I feel about this manga.
I feel very thankful for the scanlators because they did such a great job translating! I felt so drawn to the text, I could just imagine how much more if I'm able to read Japanese. Such a great job!
This is a great manga. Something you won't encounter just anywhere. Appreciate it and just keep on reading.

It broke my heart over and over! I started to cry and felt really empty, it was like my heart was ripped into pieces, if you read or already read you will understand what I mean. It was not an easy love, the author has done an incredible job in this, I was not sure if it would or not have a good end and it turned out like that. Really beautiful, their love is something really difficult, but I could feel it to my bones. Magnificent and original, it really makes you reflect about life and love. Worth reading!

i mean it actually felt real. the characters felt real, like actual living breathing living people, their attitudes are consistent but towards the end.. i kindda questioned Imagase and what he was really feeling so im with Kyouichi on that one. and i feel so bad for Tamaki, she deserves more than that.. i mean that just sucks! i like her! and just imagine if this story was on reverse.. still applaudable.
the art- had its moments
the charcters- real, not lovable but close to home.
the sex- since this is yaoi, i dont wanna give opinions.. it still makes me cringe xD
the story- bittersweet. and painful.
overall i enjoyed it.. really i did, this is the first yaoi that i read aside from Sakura Gari that had an actual story.
