Description
Mio Keisuke is a high-schooler who leads a rather dull, boring life. He can’t keep a girlfriend—because being a kept man’s too much of a hassle, and he can’t bring himself to fall in love and want to please his woman. Then—one day he seeks shelter from a sudden downpour under the awning of an apartment owned by Yugi Kakeru… and suddenly his life isn’t so dull anymore as he finds himself falling for his aloof and yet obviously lonely friend.

Comes with an extra for Kimi Note.

Typical plot, but done well   
Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

The plot is kind of run-of-the-mill: guy falls in love with someone who has trouble getting out of a bad relationship. However, the pacing was done much better than other manga with similar plots, and the author recognizes that relationships take time, which I very much appreciated. I read the Chinese translation, so I cannot comment on the actual quality of writing, but I got a good sense of deep but not overly dramatic narrative and dialogue, which made an otherwise typical BL plot fairly enjoyable to read.

The art is quite nice, as well. The characters display a spectrum of expressions, and at times, the right expression conveyed all that was needed to be said. This is a characteristic that showcases one of the few advantages manga has over novels, and sadly not that many authors take advances of it. So hats off to this author for making this manga enjoyable to watch as well as read.

Really Good.

I like stories that don't have the screaming/psychosis like usual manga. The people were calm in this one and actually resembled people in their actions, which was great.

I like the two leads and the friends and all the rest of them. I like that no one was afraid of sex (like so often happens in manga), and that they were all fairly mature. The story was really sweet, and the two leads helped each other become better versions of themselves by being together.

I would definitely read this again. In fact, I wish it was longer than a short story.

My only (slight) issue is that the transitions between chapters can be a little bit confusing, but it's not bad.

I agree with the comment by naikan, that the art and expressions in this are really good. One look is enough to convey thoughts and emotions a lot of times, and that's a talent to be able to do that. Most writers slack in that department - but not this one.

I love it, when reading Manga makes my heart throb! This one definitely did it for me. I did not find it typical, because it dealt with rejection in a different way than it is usually portrayed. I thought it was quite realistic and the outcome actually surprised me. This was very enjoyable.

That was quite a lovely manga!

The story was a bit expected but still nicely played.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Mio, a bored teenager comes across his first real love and first heartbreak as his crush loves someone else. There was no quick solution as Yugi was very attached to Tachibana. But slowly, Mio's care and love won Yugi's heart.
There was quite a lot of character development and good interaction scenes throughout the story which kept me hooked till the end.

Definitely worth reading!

I really liked this manga for a couple of reasons 1 the relationship is really well paced and really sweet 2 the art is brilliant, yugi is amazing 3 everyone basically acted their age, in a lot of BL the characters are unrealistic and do things that no one really could get away with, but here everyone was rational and human. Yugi and mio are really really cute together too!

Just nice~

It was sweet again but not very well done like Konbini-kun. I liked that story much better! But this one is good too, the pace of the story is okay, not confusing, understandable and the art was cute! The characters are pretty okay, the messages being conveyed is clear, right expressions and all but still, I think it lacks something. Not sure what, but I just know that when I read this, I feel like there's something missing. But anyway, it's a decent read. :>
