My gripe with this manga isn't so much about the premise that has been done countless times before (in fact I actually dig it) but has more to do with the delivery that verges more on the childish side despite having tried quite hard to tackle on angst and serious issues that usually ensue the life of a same-sex couple. I mean the effort is earnest and I can appreciate it, but I also can't give it any more credit than a novice attempt at writing a story more complex than your average BL flick when the reality is it's still pretty simple and naive at its core. Imagine a little girl putting on makeup and her mum's clothes to play dress up as an adult - that's what reading this manga feels like to me lol. It's cute but at the same time unfit.
