Description
From DMP:
Toru is a shy and quiet student who has developed a special crush on his close friend Ryoji, the most popular member of the high school swim team. In front of Ryoji, Toru hides his feelings and acts as if he is just one of Ryoji's good friends, but in a moment out of the blue his world will be turned upside down as Ryoji will confess a secret desire for Toru. Dazzled, Toru can barely hide his excitement for Ryoji and quickly accepts his offer. As time passes, Toru's happiness begins to fade knowing that his affair with Ryoji was just a fling based out of Ryoji's sexual curiosity.

Toru, adamant about his feelings for Ryoji, confides in another one of his close friend, Kashiwazaki, about his dilemma. The two set off to devise a plan to test Ryoji's true intentions by faking a romantic relationship. Soon after, a frustrated and jealous Ryoji attempts to pry Toru out of the arms of Kashiwazaki. Is it just as they planned? Yeah! That is of course until Toru realizes Kashiwazaki wasn't really faking! How could he not have seen it coming?
Both Toru and Ryoji have hidden their feelings from each other in the past, but now they have discovered that they were not the only ones. Will Toru and Ryoji be reunited or will their true feelings for each other go unfulfilled? Less...

I generally really liked this story. Toru is so adorable and the art is amazing. Although I really don't like that the uke in this one is so easily manipulated and taken advantage of, as if he isn't sentient; it's stereotypical. Otherwise, I like the characters. Ryoji is a bit dense and blunt. Tadashi is just hilarious.
Short and sweet.

The manga cleared some things up for me, thought, as when I was reading the novel, I felt that it was a 'typical yaoi manga'. Nothing wrong with that though. Honami Yukine's art style is truly beautiful, it feels soft and doesn't seem cluttered with extra lines and tones. I felt that the way Toru mentioned that he loves Ryoji no matter what he does, or what happens, is similar to real life, where when you love someone, it becomes hard to let go. The way Ryoji went about things bothered me, but, well.... it's yaoi manga. And it was so beautiful.

This was one of the first BL stories I ever read, and it still remains one of my favorites. The art is beautiful and sexy, and while the plot might not break a lot of new ground it is still compelling.

I do. I really do want to like this. The art (especially the art with all its subtlety and tenderness) and premise interest me greatly and the metaphor of the desire/blue to give thematic coherence to the manga really moves me.
But the characterizations of Toru and Ryoji kill it for me. While I find them endearing
on one level (the sweet, pushy, idiot one), still I find them exasperating on another
level (grow a spine, the world isn't made for you, and be more sensitive). Also, Tadashi and Kashiwazaki characters, especially Kashiwazaki's, could have added more depth to the story and the main pair as well.
Though I will say that the ending resolution didn't feel rushed or forced to me. It was the ending note that actually make me like it so much.
I just wish that Ryoji wasn't such a douche.

i like the art and i liked other sotry by this magaka so well i read this one...
In the other story i complained about too much talk to the point of not wanting to read, just wanted see what was happening(i still read it all but u know it was a bit tiresome soo mcuh talk). In this one.. well 4 chapters everything happened right there, and there was no real climax...
the less likable character would be obviously Ryo, not that i hated him, but as others said he was a bit too rough, insensitive; so toru saying ryo cared about him and all that was a bit"what really?"
but his nice side was shown sometimes. I think the mangaka wanted too much for just 4 chapters and for the characters to be this and that and still this blah blah...
Anw, it was fine xD

I like Honami Yukine's works but this one... Well, the author, Kazumi Maki, really has no idea about such things. Seriously, the story is artificial and too ideal at the same time. I guess it would have been a whole lot better if they weren't so young.

This is definitely another one of those love-triangle relationship in Yukine-sensei's works. Only managed to read 2 chapters since it was licensed after that... even so, it remains as one of my favourites.

I want to cry! I don't think that this manga would be so touching...
I thought they would continue to be trapped into a misunderstanding. Fortunately it's not like that in the end. I'm happy, this manga is not as I imagined. If this manga is really like what I imagine, I would definitely decrease the rating! It's like the real life, the love that they felt.
I would love to recommend this manga to everyone who love ' drama love story'! 🙂 ♥

thats like telling 75% of the story >.< i still feel excitement when reading this but too bad its not due to plot progression because i already know what happen next. overall, this is quite a sweet angsty hot manga. i especially love the art that is quite...i dont know, whimsical? it make the hazy feelings of the characters even more heavy and melancholic. i like the characters, they are likeable in their own way. nice to read a seme that is very dominant but not completely overwhelming, and uke that is weak but master to his own feelings and considerate 'rival' that make the story smoother without tiring drama. overall, a good story!
