it was ok

I love this mangakas works and this manga was no exception.

However, i felt it was far too dramatic and sudden when the parents died, which is good, but then i didn't really feel sad at all and i felt there was more that could have been said about it. It felt kinda fake and wasn't really expressed in a well, sad way. Also, i was really hoping the tranny and the other guy got together D:that would have put the cherry on the cake

Actually one can break the story down to: The story of a brother to find his love interest.

Said brother (Chris, Japanese) is 24 years old, a teacher, but appears like 16. Apparently he never had interest in love all his years (weirdo #1) and thus is oblivious to it and quite a whiner about BL on top. Now that's nothing new in the yaoi world (more shounen-ai in this manga), but the other guy, his younger brother (Wataru, Brit), is the complete opposite: cool and collected. He is more mature than he should be at his age, 16?, and considering his experience in romance is at the same (zero) level he behaves too unnatural. Weirdo #2. But at least a cool weirdo. Unlike #1.

The scanlation TL was fun too as they made Kurisu-chin to Christine the first volume. lol

Then there are two more male characters, one in love with the older and one, genderbender, in love with the younger brother.
Luckily I got spared the typical over-dramatic clichés such a setting brings in shoujo stories.
The daily routine evolves around those four and doesn't get any interesting in the first volume.

And how conveniently the parents got removed out of the story in the first chapter already. Accident and gone... and quite quickly forgotten too.

The art is just mediocre to me. Didn't appeal to me but wasn't unpleasant either.

In all I didn't warm up to anything, not the characters nor the story or the art.
Actually I like slice-of-life stories but this one didn't focus much on the slice of live either. Wataru gets quite the raw deal in fleshing out his character. As composed as he is and hardly any backstory given he felt like a random pretty boy most of the time.

Another awesome, cute and funny manga from Yamamoto Kotetsuko! I love the author <3

What I especially like in this manga, aside from being awesome, cute and funny (like all of her other manga), are the characters! The adorable small sensei (I like cute, child-like adults in yaoi), his super handsome younger brother (probably one of the hottest characters from Yamamoto Kotetsuko) and his beautiful feminine friend. Love all three. I also like the setting-- high school. It's a nice change that this time most of the author's charas are high school students rather than university students/adults.

I recommend you want some lighter read-- because when it comes to Yamamoto Kotetsuko, even angst and drama is cute, lol!

A good manga, but...

Okay, the art is really nice, the plot as well. The characters are easy to like. Basically, for me at least, it was a page-turner from the first page till the last.

But, the ending was a bit off. I've read chapter 1-8 and those are, as far as I've gotten to know at least, the only chaps in this manga.
That's why, I'm a bit disappointed, if that's the way it ends.

The last thing that happens in ch.8 is that Wataru kisses Chris, and then ask "Don't like it" whereupon Chris answers "I don't 'not' like it..." And then... There's nothing more. That's it.

I'm hopping for a extra chap to just fall down from the sky and "bonk" me in the head, so that I get a final. I'm just not satisfied with this.
With a better ending I would've given this a full rating, but as it is... an 8.

Nevertheless, I won't say "don't read". On the contrary, I'll encourage you to read it, because, the story in itself is really sweet and cute. Sometimes that's gotta be enough, and with that, the ending becomes something to live through.
