This is really cute. I love stories with natural progression where you can really get a sense of how two people grow to like one another. This in particular has a really awkward, sweet, pretty real feel to it. It was probably a little more sweet and innocent than typical real life, but sometimes that's ok too. Haha ...

This is a very sweet little entry about two boys who share a commute. Nothing out of the ordinary as far as the story itself goes, but it feels very genuine and caring. I wish it could be a little longer, but as it is, it is a very nice little bite of goodness!

I haven't enjoyed a manga this much in ages! It was one of those ones that are so cute that you end up smiling. It made me almost tear to be honest which is pretty rare. Basically the story is very slow paced but this definitely aided the story in feeling more realistic. This is how first love turns out to be....red faces, unexplained jealousy...but this story isn't hardcore angst or anything, in fact it has a very relaxed vibe. Art work is pretty average, everything is in proportion. The facial expressions convey emotions well. The manga is quite an interesting insight in to school life , we get to see a culture festival and the whole thing just has a lovely feel to it. Basically, you should read this !

I haven't read such an adorable shonen-ai in years. It has a wonderful feeling to it, and like some of the reviewers pointed out, it made me smile almost from beginning to end. It reminded me of my high school years... the first love, the first confession, the innocent anxiety of what will happen tomorrow, the goosebumps every time the phone rings with a message... of course it's basically hell on earth - not to mention, many of us don't get to be so lucky as either of these guys... still, it was a great read. Genuine, funny, fresh, lovely. Made my night. On a side note: the last chapter, the extra, was really promising. I wish there was more, even if it didn't show anything. Ah~~ fell in love with the couple.

	Sweet shounen ai

This is a really adorable manga. The main two guys meet and their progression from strangers, to friends, to eventually secretly harboring feelings for one another feels very natural. It's very innocent, so expect a lot of blushing and stuttering. But it really is cute, I definitely recommend it if you want to read something sweet between two boys who start to like one another.
