There's not much to say about the plot (which is basically "guy has unrequited feelings and confesses, then other guy has to think about it" ) or the characters (who don't have much going for them aside from the aforementioned). If anything, the only interesting things in this manga are: Eri and her actions (though Nagisa doesn't seem too sad about it); the stalker woman who came out of nowhere, but was weird enough to be memorable; and the fact that Taiga is bisexual (but even that's undercut by "I only dated women to forget you", which is unfortunately common for 2000s BL). The art's the usual Minase Masara fare, with the usual stiffness.
Meh, there's better stuff out there. This one isn't awful, but it's not good either.

It moved too fast and too rushed. Don't expect any real character development. They don't really seem true to their characters either; so you can help to be thrown off a bit. Also too many characters considering how unimportant (and a bit uninteresting too) they really were.
Overall: A shallow story. Just an enjoyable story. Something to pass time with!
I am being a bit harsh, but people were raving about it and I don't understand why :-)

Predictable, I didn't find anything special in this manga... Nevertheless it was still a fun read. I didn't really like the seme that much. It wasn't the art or the appearance, I just didn't like the personality or his name...Especially when Nagisa kept saying his name so much. The dramatic "I'm breaking up with you." and the act of a crazy woman tying up Taiga in the chair was rushed and wasn't really the tear jerker I was looking for. It was rather ridiculous really, not realistic in the slightest.The only reason I'm not giving it a really bad rating is because of the art.
the story got potential..but not enough space

I have to lower rating because...it would be good story...BUT... it should be at least in three/four volumes or more...not everything in one volume... everything was going too fast...there wasn't time for much emotions and stuff... I believe the story got a big potential...but unfortunately didn't get enough space...
Entertaining read!

There's a ton of stories with a similar plot, two best friends where one has a crush on the other, plus one of them is super popular and all that... it's a yaoi cliche.
But I still enjoyed this story, the characters, the art...there was an unexpected twist... it was all pretty good! I really liked Taiga and Nagisa was a good guy too.
I personally would prefer such stories, where the best friend confesses, to be more of a character thing, you know. That the character has an inner struggle, worries, fears, and honestly thinks everything over because being confessed to by your best friend who's the same sex when you never thought about him romantically before isn't usually something you get be over and done with in a day or two.
So I felt the manga lacking there, because Nagisa was shocked at first, but his shock turned into love very fast and it seemed like only a few days later, he was already jealous and possessive of Taiga.
I wouldn't call the manga bad just because of that though, so I'd still recommend it as a light and fluffy read, as long as you aren't completely sick of yaoi cliches!

It was a little bit weird that Nagisa accepted Taiga so easily, since he has been straight all along.
And Taiga was too clingy for my liking, and he seemed unable to take charge when it was needed.
Nagisa's the one who has to take initiative, and Taiga ended up going along with him in my point of view.

This manga wasn't bad, the story plot wasn't something unique actually we see it a lot in friends becoming lovers types of yaois. But it was still very enjoyable, also I find it interesting how the mangaka had them date before Nagisa was completely in love with Taiga (although the was a HUGE hint that he loved Taiga.) However found the mangaka wasn't able to completely developed the characters correctly, I mean Taiga had a fierce aura like a wolf at first, but as soon as he started to date Nagisa he became a little pup. Then we have Nagisa, he went from a happy go lucky uke, to this erotic, possessive, dominating uke! (I like how their personalities turned out, but they should of been like that in the first place!)
Great~

It was a good read! But somehow the plot seems short...but at least the story is well written. Wow, that woman is so terrible and nasty. It's kinda like making us, the real women feel like as if we're that horrible and evil. Man, Nagisa should have gave her a punch real hard on the face. Anyway, the story itself is smooth and the characters are quite interesting although I think there isn't much development with the characters. Still, it's recommendable!
Too fast! but not so bad plot! :)
