The story is actually fine and could've been made into a sweet and touching read, but the artist's execution of it was just way too bland and lacklustre, and it rendered this whole manga much less interesting and engaging. Instead of sympathising with the main characters I found myself pretty indifferent to them both, which is hard to avoid when one is so helpless and troublesome at all times while the other acts like your typical emo kid trying to be edgy by wallowing in angst. Of course I know their backstories are so much more than that but what can I do when the artist turned them so dull and stereotypical under her brush. This wasn't a very good read at all.

It's a sweet and dramatic story even though I have to agree and it's a bit shallow. I think I'd have liked it more if it were even more serious, and longer.
Also I think it wouldn't hurt having the characters show more emotion, especially Sugiura seemed very indifferent from start to finish and even though this is probably just his character, I'd like to have seen him really angry or jealous for once too.
I really liked all the characters, and while Sugiura and Sei were really sweet and fit together well, I especially liked Sei's older brother.
All in all, great art, interesting story and lovable characters.

Such a nice story. So refreshing, so good~ ♥
The art, the character, and the story is suit each other. It's been a while i didn't read such a straight and to the point story with conflict but not the hard one. And all of the main character is good, no one is annoying or slow. And the relationship between two protagonist is make everything even better! Ah, and I love the Gramps too. He's nice and have a good choice!

Just like other yaoi manga, this one has it's own conflicts and the plot is a little bit shallow although the art is good. The characters is just like any of your typical seme and uke, only a little bit interesting. It's a very warm story so read this when you're enjoying your afternoon tea. x3
