but the stories were funny, interesting and characters were likeable, the pacing was also good so in the end it was fun to read and that kind of art didn't bother me as much as I thought it would be. Actually it's not that bad, it's even hot at times, so don't be scared to pick this up only because of mangaka's outdated style. You'll miss something interesting.
The plot is good enough to make me want to see a continuation of all those stories, maybe I'll find it in Shinu hodo Suki since it's a sequel, I'll let you know.
I loved most of the oneshots. Well, i did like the 3rd story. It's just that I felt that there was no closure at all (or maybe that really was the closure, but it's not as great as I thought? Idk) Still liked it tho.
I like the oneshots, but I wish there was a little more of some of them. I like to get into a store more, sometimes.
Still, it's by Yamada Yugi, so of course 95% or more of it is pure awesomeness. 🙂
I generally liked it, but my enjoyment was horribly spoilt by the amount of freezing my computer did on certain pages. I swear, I was irritated by the end of it that I couldn't quite remember what the stories were about.
sigh, now I´m reminded of why I try to stay away from oneshot collections. There are very few oneshots out there that can make me completley satisfied. Unfortunatly this wasn´t one of them.
Many stories could´ve been developt more, especially the "Sunny day, Rainy day" story which didn´t even have a real "ending". The collection would´ve been so much better if Yamada didn´t decide to put completley unnecessary 20 page stories and instead tried focusing on developing the plots she already had.
I found this collection to be disappointing, considering Yamada Yugi is one of my favorite yaoi-mangakas, which has done many stories I´ve enjoyed and loved. Can´t always be perfect I guess.
To sum it up, my favorite story was probably the first and second one, the Art was good, Characters were good, stories....so-so.

Very nice, this is one of the mangas that are in my to-keep-bunch. I especially like the plot revolving Madoka and Naito. Very sweet, yup. The characters aren't too girly, the art is nice and the stories are fun and not completely surreal.
Be sure to read the sequel. 🙂
I love these series very much , especially the first one. I like Soujiro and Masayuki's traits. Soujiro waited for a long time to inform Masayuki that he love him...and ten years later they end up with happy ending. So great!!! ><
THAT get me into really liking this story.
give this one a chance, or at least that chapter and its continuation. really nice story! I like how the plot go smoothly in every manga of this mangaka.
Ok, so...some stories were good and some others; not so good. Although those stories were not as good, it is still enjoyable. If only it'd focus on the couple in the first story then it'd be great. xD
I think this is her best series since Close The Last Door. I have a thing for seme-uke reversals.... and it happens right here folks!
Breaking the stereotype or girly uke x macho seme happens right here, too.
