The story is plain but functional, the flow is a bit slow and the art could be better. But at least the adult morals are above most adults in BL, so an extra point for that.
Don't expect a life changing manga, but it's definitely readable.

I gave up halfway through because the plot was boring. The main character was taking too long to figure out his feelings and nothing happened in the meantime (just some blushing). The plot was very predictable, it felt like there was no passion on either side, and the "conflicts" were all boring and quickly resolved.

Because of the very good art dangit lol. Shin was really obvious with his extreme blushing around Shindou which kinda annoys me (and kept on denying that he doesn't like Sensei). Still, a good read.

(Is it me or the shape of the dialogue box was hella annoying. I mean, isn't it supposed to be circle??!??!)

Good art, good story line, good plot, good characters' personality and traits. Beautiful progress.
If you call yourself a yaoi lover and enjoy a sweet love story (especially student-teacher one) then you have to read it!

The story is predictable but there is something about some of the dialogues that make this particularly memorable for me. I can't exactly put my fingers on what makes their conversations so interesting, it's not particularly witty or realistic, and not every line is ingenious, but there's definitely something. Maybe because the characters actually talk about the problems gay people have to face, though not too serious or eye-opening or anything, but an effort to delve into something deeper than your cookie cutter one dimensional chain of thoughs is still, though nothing too brilliantly, an effort. The development in the first few chapters was at a nice and slow pace and then picked up towards the end. Well "pick up" implies a slow change of pace but a lot of this author's works seem to start out slowly and then come to an abrupt conclusion towards the end.

The art is not very meticulous, this author seems to rely on screentone and don't draw backgrounds often. But it's not too hard on the eyes.

This is not a ground breaking story of any sort so don't expect much. It's an easy read (and easy to forget too) to kill time, and not everyone will find the dialogues interesting like I do, so this might very well be just another yaoi for you.

You know, i have always loved Itsuki-sensei's art style just because it's so unique and stunning. Her stories are always a joy to read, so when i found out that this manga was by her, i instantly delved into it! The story slowly turns into a student-teacher relationship kind of deal, which is quite a cliche in manga, but how the mangaka introduced it to us was realistic and creative. In the beginning, i was very interested in seeing their relationship form, but the ending left me unsatisfied. It felt rushed and i wanted more from the couple. Anyways, Nakajima is a great character in this story and he was far more captivating than the male lead. I love Nakajima because he cared about Shin so much and is very loyal towards him. Their friendship is really cute and i hope to see more of his beautiful face in the spinoff. <3

The drawings are not the strong point for me, because sometimes the bodies seem inflexible and therefore the movements not flowing, but rather awkward. However, the facial expressions are on an average level and therefore is the style alltogether acceptable.

Even though the artwork didn't get me, the storyline so far is decent. There are slowly some developments and it's nice, how the author takes the feelings of the teenage main character to mind. He is in a difficult situation and often awkward around others, while he is trying hard to cope with the easygoing characters around. So, my rating is mainly based on the setting and execution of the story, not the drawing style.
