'I can't help going out with girls because I'm still young, it's something I want to do' - sorry pal but shut up.
I have to say that is one of the worst lines I have ever read in a manga. What a feeble excuse.
Reading the manga up till that point was touch and go anyway, the sleeping around even though he knew his friend's feelings and expecting him to understand did not make a good story.
And the simultaneous confession was boring too.
It was like there was nothing good about this manga bar its nice artwork.
Poor.

I am really mad at mangaka-sensei for this stupid ass ending. Me personally dont mind the whole cheating aspect of yaois cos i feel it spices up the whole thing but i only love it when the charecter gets revenge and THIS ADORABLE SEME TOOK NO REVENGE WHATSOEVER AND INSTEAD GOT SLAPPED!!! WTFFF!! im really mad =( i dont care if Akira cried in the end hes still a bastard... I should have listened to what the other comments said...im so danm angry i mean at the end it was like 'he had hard core sex with a girl'...

I couldn't stop laughing. Wow, this seriously cracked me up. Akira is like literally the worst person ever in existence. Good thing that I didn't take this too seriously. Although if I was Kouta I would most definitely be in prison right now for homicide.
I'm a Takanaga Hinako fan, and this is the first one of hers that seriously disappointed me. The artwork is very nice, of course, which is the only thing that prevented me from giving this the lowest grade.
Akira has no redeeming qualities at all. At the start of the story, he's manipulative, cold, irresponsible, and a cheater. Unfortunately, the story ends with him still being manipulative, cold, irresponsible, and a cheater.
I liked Kouta in the beginning. He was a bit shrewish, while still easily manipulated by Akira, but he was nice overall. By the end of the book I've lost all sympathy for him because he's become such a doormat --
I'm glad this wasn't the first book by Takanaga Hinako I've read, or I would have placed her in my Do Not Read list.
/off to re-read Little Butterfly to wash the bad taste this book left in my mouth.

even throwing out his own education out the window just for a chance to be akira's manager

I agree with xxLOVE. And not only the fact that he sleeps with others, his personality also gets on my nerves. Besides, the other guy is too submissive. Bleh. Absolutely nothing to impress an old yaoi fan. Feels like I wasted my time.
I thought that that bastard uke/seme (idk what's his position) will change, i mean i'm hoping for him to be faithful atleast, he is so lousy, a jerk i just got irritated, he had some hardcore sex with a girl?! And he's lying about it blaming innocent people just to make sex with kouta. I just hate it eventhough i like the art
I really should've read the reviews for this one...
I thought some parts were okay. Like, from where it started, I had better expectations for where it was heading. Like, I like some of the angsty parts that seemed to develop, but then they were made comical and in bad taste.

It's especially appalling knowing from the start how sincere Kouta is and wants a monogamous relationship, and then having Akira continue to sleep around. I guess, since they never establish being in love with each other, and the last affirmation of their relationship is that they're 'sex friends.' Okay. I like deeper relationships so that's why I didn't like that there wasn't more development. I maybe would have been okay with another chapter that showed them getting together romantically as well, but well if the author wants Akira to continue to have casual sex with other people, then what can you do. I just feel super bad for Kouta in the end, because, when you think about it, he ended up quitting school because Akira told him to, AND he doesn't get to be in a monogamous relationship with Akira, who he's probably in love with. And that is just saaaad.

Ahhhhhhh I really hate the uke. I feel sorry for the seme he loves him so much.I thought that the uke will never cheat after the seme hospitalized but when he begin being an actor he cheated again. So stupid

If you are looking to read a manga that has a couple that really loves and stays true to one another, do not read this. Even by the end, the uke character was still a complete f***head and cheater. I feel intensely dissatisfied and annoyed after finishing this...
This story just makes me angry 
Akira is an ass and the story ends in a quite disappointing way with Kouta being treated like an idiot. *Stabs Akira* I can't take cheating characters so I wish there was a negative number for rating this 
If Akira had ANY redeeming qualities it would have at least been a bit better, but he doesn't have any. He will probably catch some STD's in the future and I hope Kouta doesn't get it
