	Dying!
	Rating: N/A by cherrypp April 20th, 2013, 3:34am
I couldn't stop laughing. Wow, this seriously cracked me up. Akira is like literally the worst person ever in existence. Good thing that I didn't take this too seriously. Although if I was Kouta I would most definitely be in prison right now for homicide.

	Seriously...What in the world happened?
	Rating: 5.0 / 10.0 by starish6 March 7th, 2013, 3:55am
No, no, no...Takanaga Hinako, what happened? That was just...so strange. I'm sorry, I really love Takanaga-Sensei and I'm a huge fan of her manga... but this one was just so...Weird? Wrong?...I don't know... Usually, her mangas make me happy because they're really cute and stuff, but this one didn't do that for me... Maybe it was the characters...? I didn't really like Akira or Kouta's personality and even though that's just my opinion, they felt really weird. There was some hidden potential, though. I just think the manga couldn't find it. (Also, I find it funny that almost everyone dislikes this manga.) ... Last updated on March 24th, 2013, 5:07am

	Possibly the worst yaoi I ever read
	Rating: 1.0 / 10.0 by mtmt1311 March 6th, 2013, 7:48pm
I cant even describe how pointless this yaoi is. Nothing changes. The uke is still an douchebag and big cheaters, the only thing changes is the seme somehow immune to cheating now (?). The title is the opposite of the story, one guy who ignored his education got famous easily and one guy with good head gave it away to serve a jerk. I really questions the moral of this manga. This is something people should NEVER do. This is totally unhealthy and probably full of STDs. ... Last updated on March 6th, 2013, 8:33pm

	Not for me.
	Rating: 2.0 / 10.0 by Namiya December 29th, 2012, 8:59pm
Well, I understand it a comedy manga thus not to be taken seriously. Still, I have to say that I didn't like it that much and the way Akira acts just rubs me the wrong way. It's a bit too morbid to be funny, especially since the main character is obviously hurt and doesn't take it all like a big joke either... I liked Kouta as a character (at least at the start of the manga), he was adorable but Akira was just one big FAIL. As it is, I'd say it doesn't work as a comedy, it doesn't bring across the pure comedic view on serious topics like infidelity, lying and simple bad characters. I'm not saying that comedy cannot handle big topics like that, but it has to feel funny when you read it, like you just cannot take it seriously and it makes you laugh with the way character react. That's totally fine, but here, you just feel really bad for Kouta and you start hating Akira for being a jerk constantly. Too bad, because it was interesting seeing one of Takanaga Hinako's earlier works but well, the story wasn't mine so I skipped through it pretty much. Only points I'm giving are for the art. I'd only recommend this to die-hard Takanaga fans or people who don't mind the main character constantly being hurt and abused in pretty tasteless ways, and the general attitude that "because it's a comedy, it's okay". ...

If you are looking to read a manga that has a couple that really loves and stays true to one another, do not read this. Even by the end, the uke character was still a complete f***head and cheater. I feel intensely dissatisfied and annoyed after finishing this...

	Hate this...
	Rating: 1.0 / 10.0 by mlat26 October 10th, 2012, 8:19pm
This story just makes me angry Akira is an ass and the story ends in a quite disappointing way with Kouta being treated like an idiot. Stabs Akira I can't take cheating characters so I wish there was a negative number for rating this If Akira had ANY redeeming qualities it would have at least been a bit better, but he doesn't have any. He will probably catch some STD's in the future and I hope Kouta doesn't get it

	so disappointing
	Rating: 3.0 / 10.0 by babyhoneybee June 1st, 2012, 12:47am
I'm a Takanaga Hinako fan, and this is the first one of hers that seriously disappointed me. The artwork is very nice, of course, which is the only thing that prevented me from giving this the lowest grade. Akira has no redeeming qualities at all. At the start of the story, he's manipulative, cold, irresponsible, and a cheater. Unfortunately, the story ends with him still being manipulative, cold, irresponsible, and a cheater. I liked Kouta in the beginning. He was a bit shrewish, while still easily manipulated by Akira, but he was nice overall. By the end of the book I've lost all sympathy for him because he's become such a doormat -- Spoiler (mouse over to view) even throwing out his own education out the window just for a chance to be akira's manager I'm glad this wasn't the first book by Takanaga Hinako I've read, or I would have placed her in my Do Not Read list. /off to re-read Little Butterfly to wash the bad taste this book left in my mouth.

	I'm sorry what?
	Rating: 2.0 / 10.0 by MaZzAx October 10th, 2011, 5:02am
'I can't help going out with girls because I'm still young, it's something I want to do' - sorry pal but shut up. I have to say that is one of the worst lines I have ever read in a manga. What a feeble excuse. Reading the manga up till that point was touch and go anyway, the sleeping around even though he knew his friend's feelings and expecting him to understand did not make a good story. And the simultaneous confession was boring too. It was like there was nothing good about this manga bar its nice artwork. Poor. ... Last updated on October 10th, 2011, 5:03am

I am really mad at mangaka-sensei for this stupid ass ending. Me personally dont mind the whole cheating aspect of yaois cos i feel it spices up the whole thing but i only love it when the charecter gets revenge and THIS ADORABLE SEME TOOK NO REVENGE WHATSOEVER AND INSTEAD GOT SLAPPED!!! WTFFF!! im really mad =( i dont care if Akira cried in the end hes still a bastard... I should have listened to what the other comments said...im so danm angry i mean at the end it was like 'he had hard core sex with a girl'... ... Last updated on April 19th, 2011, 2:38pm

	story's moral is questionable
	Rating: 5.5 / 10.0 by pleochroic April 15th, 2011, 10:43am
cheaters in BL always cause a story to get downrated here, no matter what. me, i don't mind per se; it all depends on what's being done with the cheating. and here not enough is done. takanaga makes akira too easy to hate by not giving him any redeemable qualities to make up for the cheating, loafing, and money wasting -- he isn't at all conscious of it being a problem at the start, but that's just not enough, especially since he does continue it even after he realises that it hurts kouta; his personality is simply oblivious to that hurt being real -- until he experiences it himself. i don't like him; he's just that sort of unobservant, irresponsible, hedonistic user who can really get on your nerves -- unless you're one too. kouta is basically a solid, nice guy, but he too has issues to work out -- namely that his plans for the future never take akira's wishes into account, and that he continues to demand he work on getting into university even when it becomes very obvious that akira simply is not cut out for it, and doesn't want to. takanaga almost manages to save this one, with both kouta and akira realising that they need to change things about themselves if they want the relationship to survive. but IMO it never quite gets there; akira is too over the top to be redeemed that quickly. and -- while it's realistic that a person wouldn't entirely change their ways -- it's not particularly fulfilling in a BL manga. akira remains carefree to a degree that makes one wonder whether he actually will be faithful. and kouta ends up revolving his entire life around akira -- again, it makes sense because he is that kind of person, but i am not sure i consider this a positive development.
