Kataomoi x Kataomoi

Description

One day, high-school student Hanamoto is called out by a guy named Furuya, who's in a different class. At first he thinks that Furuya might be trying to confess to him, but it turns out that he just "wants to be friends." Hanamoto is nonplussed -- and perhaps a bit disappointed -- but agrees, and soon finds himself spending more and more time together with Furuya.

But what, really, is this innocent-looking boy's reason for brazenly seeking out Hanamoto's acquaintance?

Really only picks up by the end of chapter 2

Reading the other reviews, it seems like everyone forgets that these two are both irrational thinkers that jump conclusions at lightning speed. Honestly, its an unexplored dynamic that I think the author had lots of fun with. Furuya wants to be in love and wants to do things right, but is afraid of rejection so can't take imitative.

While Hanamoto just has the wildest thinking patterns, from being so dedicated to confessing for an entire chapter to being afraid he'll scare off Furuya again for wanting more. (which is what happened the first time he confessed) It's a very atypical plot that doesn't follow tropes strictly, which can be confusing, but I think the story flows rather naturally. It's also very realistic for a gay high school relationship. Of course both parties would be unsure of how to develop in the relationship or how to emote to their partner, especially when things like time alone or money is limited.

By chapter 3, I get the sense Furuya is still not in "love" but wants to indulge in the relationship as a substitute for his love for Hashimoto's sister. This could be why people are confused and find it creepy that the author keeps pushing the relationship, but I think Furuya's actions are not of a person in love, so it makes sense. Of course, things could be better communicated but its not as horrible of a story that the other reviews make it out to be.

The side story in chapter 4 to 5 follows tropes a lot more closely, which is probably why its liked more.

This artist has some cute more recent works but this was pretty bad--really weird setup, the whole thing is uncomfortable. There was zero indication the love interest ever had feelings for the main character, so it felt like he was just going along with it...

Honestly, I just found this creepy. Hanamoto is super monotone and pushy, and comes off really badly. I don't find any feelings between the two believable at all. The whole thing feels flat and forced, both literally and figuratively. I'm not sure what it has to offer, because it's not particularly funny, nor sweet, nor sexy, and the story itself isn't interesting at all.

I'm at chapter 3 now. I don't know how should i feel about this.

Shinobu fall in love with Furuya way too sudden, they just met, talking to each other and had lunch together, and after that he said he liked Furuya, based on what? I don't see why he fall in love with him at all. It was like he feel that way just to fill the story, but i didn't feel the 'love' there. After that, just like any other straight guy in yaoi world, Furuya (who is just got rejected by Shinobu's older sister) started avoiding Shinobu after he confessed, by the way Shinobu said it he just want Furuya to know how he feels. But the thruth is Shinobu want him to accept his feeling and not rejecting him! Somehow i don't like how the way Shinobu act persistent and how they started dating like it was a game. And you know what? After a while Furuya told him that he loved Shinobu after they have sex! Really? Furuya love interest changed abruptly, how can you decide how you feel about someone else by having sex with them?

I don't get why everyone said this manga is cute. Oh, well, maybe it's only me.
What's good about this manga is the art, the story feel flat and there's no feeling involved.
