I almost didn't read this manga because the artwork isn't a style that I usually like, but I decided to try it out anyway and I'm really glad I did. I ended up really enjoying the art and the story, though at times their thought processes were a bit difficult to grasp completely . The ending is dissatisfying at first but I really appreciated the originality of it. I get tired of the usual yaoi plot - boy meets boy, confession, sex, and then they magically live happily ever after.

This story was really refreshing, somehow, despite being a bit depressing.

I wish I can comprehend the whole thing. The endng is rather unsatisfied, to me. The art is not something extraordinary, however, the lines are extremely beautiful. If only it can last a little bit longer...

Okay, so it lost a point for not ending how I prefer my yaoi to end; however, it gained a point (or 10) for being another mature, beautifully drawn story by Takaguchi Satosumi. I love that there are mangaka out there writing mature story lines that transcend schoolyard romances. This is one of those stories.
