review from 2013

Rating: N/A

I think I've gotten more sensitive from my time away from BL manga. I can't abide by Kiriya's attitude about cheating.

Kiriya is fine with cheating and breaking up relationships but doesn't want to continue to be with a minor (who he thought was 19 but turned out to be to 17). I just don't get it.

I think how jealous Yuuya would get is a problem. It's a common theme in BL manga and it's almost treated like it's a positive thing, a sign of the seme's love. I think that's so problematic - look what jealousy and greed has made people do. Does murder ring a bell? I think before any relationship goes too far, the jealousy should be addressed. I understand that Yuuya is young, but he's the one trying to be in a relationship with a 27-year-old so he needs to learn to deal with these feelings instead of letting them control him.

"I just want to run off with him." - Yuuya

If you had a secure job and friends, wouldn't that scare you if your lover started saying things like that, along with the jealousy issues?

I did think the piano part was interesting, it's not often a character has a permanent disability. I also thought it was unusual in a BL manga for a teacher/student relationship to get caught, so that was new. Yuuya didn't even apologize for making Kiriya lose his job though, one which he clearly enjoyed. He didn't care that his fellow students were getting a better education because of him and would now lose that. He just wanted Kiriya to himself.

I did find myself enjoying it a bit more after they were caught and had to find a way to see each other again.

I just hope that in time, they'll both grow as people more together and apart, and their relationship will strengthen.

Reading all good reviews I expected something great but it's not even a decent work ...
The teacher is so weak, dumb and immature it's make me punch walls every 5 sec . Dude can't even save his ass from some student try to force themselves on him and waiting for his lover to save his uke weak princess ass , I'm like what the hell ?!! At least try to make him a man fgs and it's happening not once but twice
Whole story is a repeating boring mess Just trash , there is zero charisma and chemistry btw leads too

I've read this many times over. Since when? Since 2009 and I can't just get enough. This manga is timeless. Lovely and sweet even years have passed. This invokes emotions of sweetness and love.

Quite a good work from the mangaka

by OmNom

Rating: N/A

A somewhat light-hearted work with enough drama thrown in to spice things up, this manga is actually very well-written imo. It's not over the top and could even be perceived as moderately realistic, and the manga's biggest selling point I think is definitely the main characters and their dynamic as a couple together. The romantic but not all-smooth-sailing love that they share is relatable to an extent, and ultimately you just can't help but root for them in the end. I also like the artwork and designs here, they work well at enhancing each character's personality.

A Gem

I was not expecting this to be as well written when I originally started to read it, but I was surprisingly mistaken. This has to be one of my favorite series. The way that the mangaka wrote it is perfect and leaves you wanting more small episodes. The story is also just slightly cliched but still has originality.

One of the best reads

If you're sick of those guy meets guy = sex stories then this one is a must read! The characters are unique, quite comical and they have an ATTITUDE which is really rare in most stories. The seme and uke don't succumb to physical "AhEm" but rather they try to convey their feelings to each other. This is a really well-thought out manga despite it being so short. I don't give out a lot of 10's but this one is definitely a 10.

Why did it take me so long to read this?

A lot of yaoi blogs I read recommend this manga but I read the description and I was hesitant to read it. I put it off for pretty much a whole year lol I finally read it today and the first chapter was like okay but as I read on it was pretty good. I regret not reading it sooner.

I was a bit hesitant to read this but I'm glad I got over it. The beginning didn't really catch me but I turned the pages anyway...without noticing the way it slowly pulled me in.

I'm so happy to have read this. It was touching and yes, I agree with another reviewer that this might yet be my favorite student-teacher romance. I have quite an aversion to the student-teacher genre, instilled by reading one too many horribly done shoujo/yaoi.

I have a few exceptions but each are different and truly stand out from the genre. This one has since been added to that very short list.

The part that truly got me going 'Uwaaaaaaah' like some baby was when Kazu-san(nickname the uke hates) sees the ache in Yuuya for the piano and to play it once again. Yuuya concedes to play for Kazu-san for the first time in a long time...I know that Yuuya is just a 2D character but damn, the mangaka was able to portray the longing for the piano so well in him.

I admit I'm pretty biased about the piano thing. I love the piano so much and just knowing that I might never be able to play as I once did just kills...like if I ever lose my eyesight with which I won't be able to read anymore or see colors or see the people I love...I'd rather---nevermind.

This manga is recommended. I find this softcore but it's done very well and the light humor was enjoyable. The drama is not forced and it just---it's just so--so...It's hard to explain because ch.5 was just so...I loved this.

OMG, Amazing

First, whoever translated this (at least a few of the chapters) is awesome. Sometime I forgot it was a translation - it sounded very nearly like normal English! (With stuff like, "No shit, Sherlock!" in there). I almost never had to slog through awkward sentences! I think I love this translator. <3

The art is great, the story is interesting, the uke isn't scared of sex and the seme isn't freakishly possessive. An A+ in my book!

The story is great. It's been done, but not done so well! The two main guys' personalities play well off each other, and they have really good chemistry. It's kind of cute when the seme says he'll win the uke over, and the uke says to give it a shot but that he won't help. It's cute because they've already fallen for each other, and now it's just kind of a flirty game of catching up to that fact. Again, it has a lot of common cliches, but it's handled in a way that makes it readable and fun.

Very nice~

I don't usually read teacherxstudent relationship stories because they seem to get too frustrating but this one was an exception.

It's rare for a Seme to act like an Uke and an Uke to act like a Seme but that's pretty much the case here @_@ And usually, the teacher in this story is actually wary of the situation at hand and it's nice to finally see the teacher understand the consequences that could occur. Usually it's, "I'm a teacher but i'll him do me anyway" Which I find disturbing.

I came to care for the characters. Both of them had insecurities but you could tell when both of them fell madly in love with each other. The art is clean and appealing, nothing too amazing but still very easy on the eyes. =)
