I've only read the first story but I liked it very much. True enough, it's cliched and you can anticipate what's gonna happen, yet it was a thoughtful and deep story. I guess it's because of the similar theme but it greatly reminded me of Umetarou's Kanashii (Itoshii) Kotoba. I had the same feeling in me after finishing this story like I had with Kanashii but I don't mean it in a bad way at all. It wasn't exactly the same. (actually, Kanashii Kotoba is a 2007 story so if any, that would be the replica) The seme was a great chara I liked him

About the art... well, Hashida-sensei's style is surely not for everyone and even I found some angles really strange and bothering but I think she drawns beautiful and expressive characters (especially the ukes tend to have an airy feel around them). If you're not against girly ukes, you won't have a problem with it.

All in all, a nice dramatic story. Nothing new, but definitely enjoyable.

This stands out as one of the better yaoi dramas I've bothered to read. Yeah, it's a little cliche, totally substance-free, and incredibly sappy, but it's got a decent plot and it delivers a satisfying dose of emotion. It doesn't manage to leave much of an impression, but it doesn't cause nausea or regret, so I'm comfortable calling this a good manga.

I'd say it's worth the read. The chapter about the princes was cool though too short. The chapters about the singer were pretty basic but not developed enough. They's be great if they were each given an entire volume dedicated to their characters.

I generally give manga a chance even if I cannot stand the art style, but sadly there was nothing that would save this one.
The art is very crooked and odd, making characters often look overly awkward and ugly... her style does have a ton of quirks, mouths, eyes, hands... that is a think of personal opinion though, and just cause I find it ugly you don't have to.
The story was cliche and predictable. It had potential, with the one guy being a rock star and all, but ended up underwhelming, rushed and shallow.
I feel like this is the 100th manga with the same kind of story I am reading, and there was really nothing new or surprising here...

Unless you are a fan of the mangaka or you are very much into topics like a mute character, rock star, trauma, tragic past... don't waste your time and read something with substance or at least good art instead.

The first story is VERY cute and deep. The characters are really amazing. Such a great story. The one shot: Two Princes really leaves you wondering at the end. So please give this one a try.
