I loved this story, the drawings are very pretty, Shino/Tsuno is just so cute when he's little >_< and the plot is well developed. Most importantly there are dragons :3 The part of the transformation was so beautiful. I just wish the story was longer. Also there's very little YAOI there's just a few pages of sex ed class ;D Have read it twice, and will probably read it again
The art is really beautiful, and the fantasy is really nice and adds a romantic, historical feel. And there are dragons! Tsuno makes such a cute dragon, lol. I really love Ike Reibun's work- this one has a great combination of humor, and romance, beautiful art, and just general yaoi goodness, haha. Definitely recommended! I just wish it was a little longer- this is pretty unique, and I was really lured in by its plot and setting. Overall a great manga
It's an easy read in Japanese, turns out I was almost spot on when I checked how someone else translated it.
It's also the tamest of Ike's work by far. Don't get me wrong, though, Ike's tame is still graphic. The action is only three or four pages, but she knows how to draw a man. If you don't like the old "orphan falls in love with foster" archetype, you might want to skip it, though it's done so well here that I don't think it would hurt to read it.
As a side note, the kid in the oneshot looks EXACTLY like Konomi from Not Equal. I know a lot of authors draw similar characters, but come on. He has the same glasses and "puppy look" on his face, I almost thought it was him.
