omg! it needs a sequel! now!
that said, the art is the most gorgeous I've seen in a long time. the facial expressions are delicate an touching. only the ending could be called somewhat dissatisfactory (for me, anyway). and it's too short!!!!

I absolutely LOVED the part where one boy confessed his love which led up to the line: "I'm okay with that!" being blurted out by the other kid. It's so realistic, poignant, and pretty much unexpected. Most mangas would have: a) reciprocated love ("I just realized I love you too!"); b) boy B running away in disgust; c) sex scene right away. I'm so happy it was different from those scenarios. It was brilliantly played out :D
One of my favorite one-shots of all time. Wonderfully written, beautiful artwork. Very touching, and very genuinely emotional. It's a BL with a simple story, but it's subtle and realistic.
And before you know it, you'll have a big smile on your face.
I'd recommend this story to anyone.

Plot-wise it's pretty standard but that's okay. I don't really mind that since the art is narration of the story are good enough for me.
Also, a lot of people seem to taking issue with the "gay for you" line but it doesn't seem that out of place here because it would be presumptions of me to categorize how one should expressive their love for another. I would have liked it if they had been more clear cut about it but matters of the heart never are like that, so for me it was a nice touch in this setting.
(BTW I am familiar with this line in other manga as well but it doesn't always work so well if the story isn't set up to support this kind of conversation)
What I take issue with is how Nogi's karate senior comes on to him. That was a disjuncture for me. Anyway, overall pretty well done. Especially the facial expressions.

The first three pages of this oneshot are the most beautiful color illustrations I have ever seen in a yaoi manga. This story is also very good. It would be nice to have a follow up chapter, but this works very well as a oneshot too.
i am a huge fan of kyuugou!
i just love the artwork and kyuugou's stories are just so warm and real. <33
i would also really love to read more
but kyuugou's skills in storytelling actually made me feel satisfied with this oneshot
and i don't mind reading it again and again just to stare at the pretty pictures and smile. (:

It was really sweet. A quite well done oneshot about youth and cute love... :3 Kei-chan reminds me of an ex... So cute, small and violent. X3.
Yeah...
The art is nice, and the story is well told. Nothing much to it, but cuteness.
And a very good phrase:

Does it make me a homo too? At least, one that's exclusive to you.
^^

I don't know if the deal here is really as simple as "I'll be gay for you exclusively" as it is, or if we're missing some layers of meaning that naturally follow the twirl of emotions we can only expect Nogi to be going through. In the end of the day, the story is pretty inconclusive. We don't even get to know for sure if they end up as a couple. Nogi wants Fujiwara to know he accepts him and his love, but this "homosexuality" thing is news to him. He feels pressured to label himself perhaps --- they both do --- and hence comes the "let me be homo then, but for you only" thing. It even things out, it eases the mood and it more or less settles the whole deal so that they can go back to the rooftop and resume their daily life.
It sounded reasonably enough for me to close the page with a smile on my face. On the whole it was a very cute, warm tale of schoolboy love and friendship and discovery. I quite liked it.
