"If you are not able to love yourself, you cannot love anyone else"

A short yet heartwarming meaningful story.

I'm glad I decided to check other works of SAKURAI Nanako-sensei. This the third work I read by sensei and it's as usual just amazing, credits also go to the author Sasaki Mio-sensei for this deep, meaningful, heartwarming story that is presented in a simple and smooth flow.

Like the other works I read I love that the stories almost always deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, insecurities and inferiority complex. The characters feel real and relatable and seeing them finding themselves and accepting love and affection is just so heartwarming, makes you feel happy for them.

I'm excited to read more work by these artists.

Thank you Sasakisensei for mentioning STDs! It feels like most other gay themed manga doesn't really get into this topic that is very important and makes this so much more realistic.

This story has strong plot, nice pace and storytelling is perfect. It's about a guy indulged in self-hate, envious of his cheerful twin brother. Once he decided to explore nichoume to find some answers or maybe just to distract himself from everyday problems. Anyway there''s a lot to discover between the lines and that's the greatest joy for a reader. Characters are interesting and complex. Moreover art is wonderful, I mean big eyes, with long eyelashes, slender bodies, fashionable hairstyles and clothes... it's a complex story. High rating for this work is totally reasonable although supporting characters are a little underdeveloped, that's the only flop I found here.
I had a lot of fun. This manga is definitely worth to read.

Gorgeous art style and the plot was absolutely great. I love it.
this manga it's not just to kill time, its so deep that you'll cry a river cause you feel so attached to haru and following his progress to finally change and find his true self is just amazing. I feel like a proud mother and feel sad cause this deserve a lots of volumes and a CD drama.
About the characters: I love haru and masahiro, my new favorite couple.
So difficult to find this days though.
Masahiro is a piece of heaven, he protects and respect haru a lot. more semes like him please.

Endearing artwork, touching and substantial dialogues, wonderful pacing, self-reflection, and such wonderful characterization, that I just couldn’t help but fall in love with this. The feeling of hope and love that infused me after reading this was truly healing. I hope to carry this warmth with me for a few days at least.
However, because I hadn’t read the tags and because SAKURAI Nanako was the artist for this, till the very end I couldn’t shake of the feeling that something horribly wrong is going to happen. Due to which I was on the edge the whole way till the end and couldn’t read this in any relaxed manner. The first time I only breathed a sigh of relief, and it was only the second time around that I could properly enjoy myself; I love SASAKI Mio. I absolutely look forward to reading more works by her.

The flow of this manga was great. It naturally showed how Haruhi changed, from a gloomy lonely mess to a sweet adorable boy. Even the relationship with Masahiro had nice pacing. Wasnt too psycho or twisted. Right amount of drama and comedy. Only one flaw it had.....being short lol. One volume isnt enough.
This manga is about finding oneself. "U cant love anyone if u dont love urself"
