well, i don't think yoshida is ugly, but i can see how he might be bullied in a culture in which standing out makes one weird. normally i don't much care for stories where the seme bullies the uke and yet the uke falls in love anyway, nor do i care for those where the uke is unbelievably dense, and where he struggles against any intimacy -- but this one is different somehow. not much different, mind, but sufficiently so to make it stand out positively in a field that's filled with cliche and stupid storylines. for one, yoshida is really adorable; he might be dense but his heart is definitely in the right place. mostly i think it's got to be in the art -- some of the images of satou when he looks at yoshida are really touching. and in volume 4 we finally get a little meat with satou's backstory, and some honest thoughts from him (about how he feels empty), so i am hopeful that future chapters might rise even higher over the mediocrity of standard BL. not rating it yet since it's not complete.

Love "DOKI" or "KYUN" moments in Shojo manga? This may be just the right manga.
There are no long running arcs with dramatic climaxes like in shonen manga. Each chapter has it's own nice plot that contributes very little to the overall story. This is a manga that provides a little relief and pleasure from real life.
Even though Yoshida is supposed to be ugly, let's face it, would anyone actually want to read that? BL manga is about escaping to a world where bishonen's run amok. Yoshida's "squinty eyes" makes him unique and cute. Expressions are drawn wonderfully detailed.
Each volume has at least one chapter which focuses on another pairing. Volume 1 has the one shot story "You're everyone's friend" in a different setting. Volume 2 has 2 short stories on Kazama and Kaitou in a different setting too. In volume 3 there is a chapter on 2 characters' developement in the main story.
Overall this is not for serious reading. The art is standard and the story is average. For me personally, because the plot is vague I can re-read it over and over again and not get bored.

At last a different and unique Shounen-ai. Sure, it's in no way perfect and at times really cliche. But finally there's a Shounen-ai manga that doesn't have a beautiful uke. Seriously, for most of these types of stories the uke is so pretty that he looks like a girl!!!! That just completely ruins the purpose of "boy's" love now doesn't it?

I agree with Shibuya_Yuuri about Yoshida's not really ugly. yeah he's not ugly..(the ones who ugly are his friends XD). buuut....his face is kinda weird yet funny. maybe that's why he's on the list of ugly people XDDDDDDDD

Woow...this story is really refreshing me from a monotone yaoi story - handsome guy with a cute guy who did drama or romance on their life-. I admit it's a lil bit different from others. I like it! D

Well , I don't understand why Yoshida ends up loving Satou, Satou actions goes from teasing to bulling, instead of loving him, if i was Yoshida, I'd beat him to pulp alltogether with the girls in their class that are all stupid and think that nobody deserves to live without beauty.
I hate the characters in this manga and the story makes me angry.

Can you say yes to the most adorable uke ever? If not that, then the most memorable one.

Lotsa cliche plot but the manga-ka makes it work in a refreshing way. Not just that, you'd feel the sincerity between the two and it would seriously tug at your happy-strings!

Yoshida kind of reminds me of Kusuda from Hatsukoi.

I love this new change! Instead of the normal hot guys we see together this is another take on love. ^^x I love it! I can't wait for the next chapter to be out. I want to see more of Satou and Yoshida and also Torachin and Yamanaka

Soooo cute!!!! I agree with you guys! XD.
Not anywhere close to being bishie cute but still soo adorable and cute! I love this story!! I haven't read a Yaoi like this in such a long while. One of my top faves for sure :3

what a touching story. simple but really touching. when i decided to download this manga, I was sure that I would like this manga. and then I was falling in love with this manga for sure right after I read it. but when I read the other manga from the mangaka, it's look like I only love this series (the others is not really interesting manga fo me)

Not only is this hilarious in how it parodies other BL with the ugly main bottom, I also adore how the top is a total closet sadist, much to the other guy's horror. Ufufufufu!~ xD
Not to mention despite how smexy the top looks now, it was a quite another thing when he was a kid lol.

Overall a very cute series!
