I love everything about this manga.
The art style was so beautiful (totally my like) and the plot was catching.
The first story was kinda unclear to me, about tanaka's past but definitely he was molested to the point to be traumatized but I wanted to know more about it.
I prefer the second story, to me was better but it was short (;´ຶДຶ `)
can I marry doujima and minamoto? Damn they're really my dreamy seme like. Ugh. It's perfection the word to describe them. I'm serious.
I love this kinds of semes, they don't take a NO for an answer but they don't use violence, they're protective with they're partners and they're hot as hell.
I ended up with butterflies after reading this.

As many have already said: The art is gorgeous. Very expressive and delicate, I like it a lot. The pacing is also just right, which makes it so romantic. The story also has uniqueness to it because of Tanaka's haphephobia. I recommend it.

Firstly, loved the art. It took me a while to read it just 'cause I kept staring.

Secondly, the story was cute. I didn't have as much trouble believing in them falling in love as others. Doujima saw Tanaka, was attracted, and approached him. I actually found it refreshing to find such an open guy whose not afraid to take the first step even if he might be shot down. My problem is that it felt like it was lacking a chapter or two. I would have liked to see more resolution rather than just the expectation of it. Plus, I wanted to see a little more from Doujima's point of view. He really tried hard at getting and keeping their relationship going, it would have been nice to see Tanaka working on it too (it kind of cut short of that).

@Kir and Dagorkitty - The last chapter was an extra about two different characters (Yoshino and Minamoto). Sure, Minamoto looks similar to Doujima, but he's not the same. My guess is that it was an earlier story done by the mangaka with a character who was later remodeled as Doujima, but that's purely my own guess.

I've read this and at first, I have to say that the drawing is very cute

Second is the plot. So many flaws, love at first sight, no explanation why Doujima likes him and he used the worst method to get Tanaka trapped , how can Tanaka, who has a very bad memory from before, get affected easily so like that ?

The most confusing one is the last chapter. Does Doujima really love him or Tanaka just resembles to Yoshino ? I can believe that 10 years knowing Yoshino, Doujima can break up with him so easily because from Tanaka's view, Doujima is very loyal(?).

Well, I can't say that this manga is great unless I delete Yoshino and Doujima's part.

Basically, it's the most generic plot ever in yaoi; guy meets guy, guy had trauma and resists guy, guy falls in love with guy.

I won't say it's boring, though; it's still sweet, and sinfully tasty, even though you know you've had this like, a thousand times. Like homemade chocolate chip cookies. And besides, I think this is the most explicit (scanlated) Moto Haruko work so far, thus it wins extra smut point.

Recommended for all the long-time reader of yaoi wanting to see a new spin of the old thing.

(Also, the categories; "Business Man", really? How many yaoi are going to be there with that only, not counting shoujo and josei?)

Everything about this was boring, from the stale plot which had no depth at all, to the seriously plain one-dimensional characters with absolutely zero personality. The art style was great, and reminded me of works which go deep into character or phenomenon study. I went in expecting a thoughtful commentary on something, anything. But left utterly disappointed. It's just your regular boring old BL plot packaged with good art. The characters are so boring as well, and I couldn't understand how or why they fell in love, and there didn't seem to be any character development at all. the uke had an aversion to touch, which I wish would be explored more. There was so much potential there. But it felt like his condition was just given a generic reason and quickly swept under the rug in favor of sexy times with the seme. Sighs. Wouldn't recommend.

It's a generally decent manga with a nice couple. 'Nough said. The plot? Meh, could've been better. If I had read this a couple of years ago, I would've gone like, "Kyaaa!!" But sadly, I've read too much to find much excitement in here. Still, it's good for starters and those that just want to past time.

In a nutshell,
a) Love the artwork (I'm a sucker for this type of art. Yes, I'm weird)
b) Good plot but could've been deeper
c) Recommended for newbie fujoshis

Well, it didn't waste my time, rating or review

I really enjoyed this one. I didn't find it hard to believe the relationship, Doujima was a nice guy who simply persued a guy he was attracted to, lots of relationships start like that. Tananka's aversion to being touched may also have drawn him towards him, in a curiosity becomes affection kind of way.
I really enjoyed the art in this, the blank and minimalistic panels went well with the quiet, unshowy nature of the story.
I also enjoyed the ending, as the manga-ka alludes to what is going to happen without actually stating it. Also, the nature of tanaka's trauma was hardly played for angst, instead it was just hinted at, instead of being played on for all it's worth.
So I found this one a cute, gentle and relaxing read.

I adore the art, it's so cute but in a quirky way <3
The plot wasn't outstanding, but I do like the business man theme and Tanaka's aversion to being touched made it stand out a bit more.
I don't think there was anything wrong with the pacing nor do I feel like something was missing, like some people have mentioned. Doujima is attracted to Tanaka so he pursues him, then after spending time together they fall in love. Surely that's how most relationships start? I don't remember either of them claiming it was love at first sight. (Which i'm glad, it makes their relationship seem more real.)
I agree with @FeyPhantom, the last chapter is about a different couple. So if anyone else is confused then don't worry, Doujima was loyal to Tanaka! Just as Minamoto is to Yoshino. This second story was really sweet, I like friends-become-lovers and the fact they'd been together for so long always chasing after each other was very cute.
The nice plot, adorable characters and refreshing art of both of these stories will definitely leave you with a smile on your face ^__^

That was subtle smutty! i mean, there were many sexy and intense situations but nothing happened until the end. Normally i would hate this kind of stories but the art and the uke kept me reading forward! I would check more of this mangaka also.
