Great art, but not much substance.

Things were resolved too fast—Shuu has dated only women for his entire life, then decides he can sleep with a man to avoid losing him. I'm not really a fan of the "force my way into your house despite you asking for space" trope, either. Ichika not accepting Shuu's half-assed confession right off the bat made me hopeful for a more mature plot, but then it falls back on the ol' single-talk-no-jutsu and everything's fixed in half a chapter for the happily-ever-after.

It's a pity, because you can tell there's wasted potential in there: Shuu recognizing how insensitive of a friend he'd been; Shuu and Ichika actually talking about what dating each other would mean, past "can you sleep with a man?"; how Ichika's been forced to see Shuu dating women for 10 years etc. And, again, I did like how Ichika didn't accept Shuu right away, but all of it still felt shallow in the end.

FWIW I don't know if Ichika was "saving" anything for anyone, but it is unrealistic that he wouldn't have had sex with anyone during all those years. It reads as another facet of the "I'm putting my life on hold until it's convenient for you to accept me". The more I think about it, the more I feel like lowering my rating.

Bland art, bland story. The characters didn't strike me as memorable either. It would have been a barely decent read, one that can make you pass some time if you really don't have anything to do... If it weren't for a detail that was so, so ridiculous.

The uke is depicted as someone who has casual sex often because he knows his only love is hopeless. However, when the seme finally returns is love and they have sex, it turns out the uke is actually a virgin and only jerked off with his sexual partner. LOL. I bursted out laughing. This doesn't make sense on so many levels I can't even start to explain. Basically the author wanted to keep the uke virgin so his first time could be with his true love. I find this stupid, honestly.

My first thought was that the cover looks like every high school BL. I actually had to double check that I hadn't read it already. The story was the same. Everything about this is exactly as predicted with no added flavor. I'm okay with common tropes, but at least dress em up a little. It felt very superficial. That said, there's nothing wrong with this manga. It's written well enough, it's not particularly problematic, the art is fine. It's just boring.

Not the most moving manga I've read when it comes to this very common theme, but overall it's not a bad one and should still be able to entertain plenty. I do wish the English translation was less awkward and grammatically incorrect though; it took away the original dialogues' flow and coherence and greatly reduced my ability to enjoy reading this story. Such a shame.

Now after reading comments below, I have to wonder how the heck anyone could perceive the fact that Shuu was saving his anal virginity for the one he truly loves to be slut shaming and demeaning himself lol, tf?? That's Shuu's personal choice towards his own body and there's absolutely nothing remotely wrong or even questionable about it. I guess all virgins in this world who decide to wait until marriage are somehow slut shaming themselves and disrespecting their own worth too??! Lmao yeah that sounds ridiculous right? Definitely the most bizarre thing I've read all week, what a feat 🤡

I like the story, whole-some and respectful of boundaries, while both stay true to their feelings

I, for one, was extremely worried about Ichika being with such a seme. However, things did turn out pretty well even if it was Ichika who ended up doing all the emotional labour in their relationship with Shuu just barging in and out whenever he feels like without any proper consideration for Ichika’s feeling. However, I do hope that the couple will be a happy one for many years to come and that will have a better relationship with each other; the extra gave me such hope. One thing that I dislike about the story is Ichika’s anal virginity being saved for Shuu. This is just out right slut shaming and extremely demeaning of Ichika. The art is really nice and crisp.
