Ahhh, this was lovely~! I'm very happy, it was a thoroughly enjoyable read <3
I have to start by praising the artwork, which is, once again, beautiful. I've often encountered people saying they aren't a fan of her style. but I love how she focuses on the expressions, they are SO realistic!
The plot was cute. Nothing too new, but I do enjoy when lack of communication is the main conflict because it makes it that much more angsty, which is a BL requirement for me. It also seems to be a recurring theme in Takanaga-sensei's work, which I appreciate. If there's one thing I'd like to comment on, I thought this was a bit too long - while "Ochiru" was a bit too short. It's not that it felt like it dragged, because it definitely didn't, but I could've done with less "moe" moments and more straight to the point. But I do get why she did it - to make a good, solid foundation for their love. I appreciate how it took a long time for them to first know each other, then become somewhat friends, then finally start a relationship - and even then there were steps. They had phases, from animosity to attraction to young love to deep love.
The characters are also probably my favorite types out of the whole trilogy - Reiichirou is my favorite out of all three ukes (which is surprising because I read this one after the other two, and I had a bad impression of him from before, but he managed to turn it around ^.^)vand Jinnai is definitely my favorite out of all the semes (Jinnai and Kijima are my favorite characters out of all the 6, but he's just more my type). People generally complain about demanding, assertive semes, but he was even a bit too soft for me, but more pushy than the other two - which is good for me! I also enjoyed seeing them changing over the course of the story, especially Reiichirou - he grew so much since "Ochiru"! I liked that, once they had established a relationship, he would engage in the sex - sometimes ukes just lay there, or say "no" all the time, which I really don't get.
Overall, "Midareru" was my favorite, but I also think this was a great story!
Oh, I do wish Tsukasa's and Reiichirou's relationship had been addressed and fixed, even if it was as a side story, but unfortunately we're to assume they still don't get along 🙁
In any case, I definitely recommend all three, it's rare to find good BL, much less a trilogy of series!
