Lack of cohesion and depth

This is nowhere as good as Tasogare Outfocus, which is a masterpiece, but it was also Janome sensei first work, so it is understandable.

The first two chapters were really interesting and dramatic, after that it was more a slice of life. I would have liked to see them grow and change over a longer period. The author mentioned all the issues gay people face but didn’t go further, although it was the main reason the seme didn’t want to start a relationship with his best friend. That’s why chap 3 - 4 - 5 & 6 felt uninteresting and repetitive. Plus the seme was ANNOYING after a while, wimpy / simp / crybaby characters are the worst when they’re excessive.

I couldn’t bring myself to like that super pessimistic wishy-washy seme, but it was a good read if I overlook my annoyance with the MC.
The artist has a rather unique style & it’s fairly beautiful~

I like what I've just read for the most part. Love the main couple's chemistry and how each character completes what's lacking in the other. There's quite a bit of philosophy packed in the form of inner-monologues, which could sometimes dilute the flow of the plot progression, but other than that this is a heart-warming and charming manga.
Still wish the book cover could be a bit more subtle and eloquent though.

The story was nothing special/original and sometimes felt rather confusing. If the author got better at creating a more coherent plot I think we could expect great stories from her/him. Although the plot was lacking, I couldn't help but find the characters likable and the art really good! Character wise, some may think that the seme was too wimpy, however, I thought that was a refreshing idea. I like the strong uke/wimpy seme combo.

I would recommend this as a quick read.
