Minase Masara's work has been slipping in the past years. She basically recycles some of the same storylines, but in a different environment. This is yet another story that ultimately boils down to a love triangle between the older ex-lover/crush/etc who is no good, and the younger new lover who tells him "forget about ___ and fall in love with me!". If that line sounds familiar, let me refresh your memory:
-In Empty Heart, Takumi (younger) tells Jun (older) to forget about Ryuuta (older crush) and fall in love with him instead.
-In Gokujou no Koibito, Yoshimi (younger) tells Masahito (older) to forget about Akito (older, potential love-rival) and fall in love with him instead.
-In Unbalanced Heat, Shinya (younger) tells Ryuu (older) to forget about Naruse (older crush)and fall in love with him instead.
...Just name a few.
Between these love triangles and the "rape and fall in love" plots, Minase Masara is fast becoming a two-trick pony. Otherwise, expect from this manga exactly what you have read in all of her other works: pretty art, bishounen, recycled plot, and a happy, smex-filled ending. If that's your cup of tea, go for it, but I personally would love it if Minase Masara tried something new once in a while- oh, and to also stop making her characters wink all the time. It's just unnatural. 🙂
