To be Honest

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

I pretty much read all of the mangaka's work but this manga just doesn't have the spark like all of her mangas. I don't like the back and forth pointless jealousy and possessiveness. The plot is just mediocre and i think it lasted a little too long (its still ongoing -.-). It's disappointing but hey others like it but not one of my favorites.
Cliche used in this mangas

Marriage interview for the young master that will make the seme uneasy
3rd party interested in the seme ( I loved rivals but can't stand him)
Naive/Clueless uke ( oh god how many naive ukes are we gonna get ) and he's still clueless up to 3rd volume

Well that's just i can mention for now, its a good read but too boring and so so for my taste

I like this story more than the one with the younger brother. It's much cuter, also, Reiichirou has better character than his younger brother. He's clueless and sensitive. And his expressionless face is cute ^^. I'm glad they decided to make one about the older brother 🙂

Cute but a bit rushed...

This one started out really interesting since I love Reiichiriou's character and was glad that this manga gave his side of the story about Haru and Tsukasa as well as provided a gradual development of his relationship with Jinnai.

However, I didn't like this as much as Kimi ga Koi ni Ochiru mainly because the consummation of the relationship between Jinnai and Reiichiriou toward the end seemed a bit too forceful and rushed. The background of them building up their trust by having deep talks was really cute, but then Jinnai just suddenly started jumping Reiichiriou and seemed to be forcing his feelings onto him, which cheapened their relationship to me.

I love love love this story. In my opinion, it's much better than the younger brother's story which I thought was a little ridiculous coz of how Reichirou became the bad guy in it. What the heck?!
I love Reichirou's cluelessness, the artwork is amazing and I can't wait to read more about this adorable pair!

Fall in Love and Drown in Love: Perspectives Overlap

by MightyMaeve

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

The underlying theme is emphasized, or illustrated, through the use of archery. (Stunning illustrations of the men in their hakamas!) Haru's thought was: "Archery mirrors one's heart." Both stories speak to the philosophy of love in practical application. How do you know if you are in love? What is love? What does it mean to be in love and how will this reflect in your treatment of the one you love? Should you be selfless and perhaps in pain? Or should you be selfish and manipulative and happy? Can you deal with any guilt induced by this?

Although they are separate mangas, they are uniquely interwoven. The chronological order is overlapping, instead of the usually forward or backward momentum that other mangaka's use to interweave a 'universe' of characters. I liked it; it helped to expand and give depth to intense moments and develop a strong connection to the characters and their lives by seeing two perspectives simultaneously.

You Will Fall in Love has the edge with more twists, surprises and depth with Haru and Tsukasa's emotional evolution and development. You Will Drown in Love is a close step behind though, with a consistent, believable and insightful personality study of Reiichirou.

Her stories always have a 'tender' or 'sweet' element alongside the angst. A very lovely and memorable balance of emotion presented in clever wordings of thought and emotional illustration of moments. Her art is pretty, balanced and lushly palpable (the lips!) She never pushes into 'explicit' with the intimate scenes, but her kiss scenes make up for that lack in my mind!

I agree with the previous posters. The first two chapters really built up the relationship, and the characters were funny. Spoilers And I could almost understand the forcefulness of the first sexual act (bc Reiichirou is so clueless ^^; ), and liked how Reiichirou started to stand up for himself afterward, and how Jinnai started coming to understand how he had hurt him. But I really hated how he rewarded Jinnai's rape, even after.

LOVE THIS!!!!!!!

I LOVE this. I found this to be a lot better than the prequel and of course yaoi in general. I found the prequel to be too rushed (though it was okay, it wasn't the mangaka's best work for me) - on the other hand, this manga had a steady build up for the relationship. Though the seme is "forceful" in a sense (as most yaois are), there was definitely a strong buildup for the romantic feelings beforehand, so the story did not seem to be rushed at all or out of place (kind of like in Tyrant Falls in Love). The characters are also very interesting and really well characterized -- I absolutely ADORE the characters and if I could give this a 1000000++++ I would. Definitely one of my fave yaoi.

Not as good as the first

I'm not as enamored with this sequel as I was with the first manga, "Kimi ga Koi ni Ochiru." Oboreru dealt with some issues in ways that I didn't find pleasing. Of course, when dealing with Takanaga Hinako, you have to know that she's a fan of rough starts to relationships (and by this, I mean that the seme will push the uke to the floor, or against a wall, just to make his feelings known). I am fine with rough starts, but it is how that is carried out and the repercussions of such actions that determines whether or not I like a book. If the seme is forceful but is rebuked, and comes back a gentler person, that's fine with me. But this seme, Jinnai, was rough and was rewarded for it. That doesn't sit well with me, and as such I couldn't enjoy the manga as much. Perhaps some of these issues will be dealt with in the second volume of the manga, but as for the first volume, I'm not in love with it. I gave it a chance because I like some of Takanaga's other works, but I'm really glad I didn't buy this one!

I really like this story more than the younger brother. Hmm. Reiichirou seem to be clueless and very sensitive, but not really. Contradicting, I know. But that's how I perceive him. He is really misunderstood easily because of his contradicting characteristics. His side of story wasn't really elaborated at kimi ga koi, and now, as his story unfold, I like him more and more

Read the 2 first chapters and I love it.
Really good art, cute guys.
It's not really a sequel, is it? Because the main focus is on the older brother now.
There are links to the sequel though..
Really good characters, with interesting personalities.
And my.. They are cute>.<

Edit:

Kinda forgot about it for a while, but then I finished it the other day.
I'm really tired of these lack of trust and sexual assault stories, to be honest.
As much as I enjoy Takanaga Hinako's art style, she has this type of plot she likes to follow, in which there's an aggressive seme and an uninterested or unsuspecting uke. I mean, sure, there's nothing wrong with being assertive and showing your interest, but come on...

The lack of trust, paranoia and forcefulness by the seme towards the rather naive, inexperienced and socially awkward uke is just too much. Besides, the uke clearly has interest in the seme, he's just bad at showing it. =/
