Description
Michizure Policy Shinohara, who liked to take care of others like a mother, and Nishioka, who loved sweet things just like a kid (with big build), were good friends. Shinohara loved Nishioka, but was totally a coward when it comes to love. He always thought that “this love is impossible” and continued to be Nishioka’s good friend when he blurted out his feelings unintentionally. To Shinohara’s surprise, Nishioka accepted him and they started to go out. But Shinohara was having doubts and wouldn’t want to believe in Nishioka. What should Nishioka do?
Uten Kekkou Rule College finals have kept Takao and Wakamiya apart, but now, even with the bad weather, Wakamiya rushes over to Takao's apartment for... some hot love. Takao, however, does not seem to be in the mood since he is the one that does everything. Tonight, Takao wants to be the one that is made to be "in the mood". But will Wakamiya still be in the mood after beng thrown into the shower with a "7 minute erection"?
The only thing i didn't like about this book and the prequel is the misunderstandings. I hate reading about characters who build obstacles on their head just because they are insecure, and can't seem to just ask their lover directly. It's one of the genres cliche that i can't stand.
The art and lines are neat. Reading chapter 1 to 2 was enjoyable. Chapter 3 and onwards were becoming boring. Too much talking and I feel exhausted in reading them. It's good that the mangaka wants to clear things at both ends but she's trying to squeeze every possible explanation in one setting and thus it's feels like reading novel instead. This series is short for charas expressions and atmosphere with regards to the amount of words and talks that took place.
shinohara and nishioka are just so 'adorkable' together. this manga isn't particularly deep, but it's also not pure marshmallow -- the characters have genuinely plausible emotions. it's a pleasantly fulfilling read. i'm glad to see that nishioka turned out to be a better guy than he seemed previously when he appeared to have his eye on takao; i didn't really like him then because it appeared that he was using wakamiya as bait, and i don't care for people who pretend friendship for one person in order to get close to their friend. but that was only hinted at, so my opinion of nishioka wasn't set in stone.
i also like the absence of strong seme/uke dynamics here -- these days it becomes harder and harder for me to read BL that has strict role definitions, so i am always happy to find mangaka who don't consider that the One True Way, but actually have characters who switch (no on-screen switching here, though; it's just made clear that shinohara does).
now i want to read hirano's story, *grin*. i really enjoy when a mangaka develops a story universe; i get more involved with the characters, and it feels more satisfying to me than one-offs.
Sweet and cute and fuzzy! This manga Nishioka and Shinohara get along so well and are adorable together. It's not a cliche yaoi manga, it's more of just fluff but it really gets to you and the ending leaves you satisfied. Really worth a try!!!
