I thought I won't like it...

But I love it. Totally love it. It may be a bit cheesy (or a lot, I myself don't know) but the characters are so fluffy you just want to hug them and frankly, I usually want to kill this type of manga characters, so it speaks for itself. I guess before reading it I thought it will be a total clique, and sometimes it is, but nevertheless you can't hate it.

I really like the fact, that he tried so hard to not follow the red string and that his reason was that Hiro is too good for him. This reasoning was just too adorable. And the scene when Keiji got drunk and Hiro went with the whole talk about respecting and treasuring him is something I really needed. Even though lately in yaoi we can see more and more of this type of cherishing boyfriends, I will never get tired of it.

It's a pretty cute manga - cute art, cute characters, cute story. Not exactly the best written one, and it does turn a bit cheesy at some parts, but ultimately it did fulfil its purpose so I guess that's fine in the end. Also, I really like this artist's style of drawing chibis, so there's that too.

I sort of want to hate this, but can't. So far it's a mix of very cheesy, and very endearing. How can one person be so clumsy? It makes me cringe.

But, the way he stopped when Keiji was drunk, I thought that was a nice change of pace. It was very sweet and respectful. It made me want to read more.

///< i cant, this was so damn cute!!~ made me go doki doki too!! All the feels!! i loved both Kei and Hiro~ i liked how good the seme was, cute and gentle, the puppy seme. The uke was nice too, baka at times but lovable as well. I liked the talk about the string of fate and i even liked the Kamisawa(?) guy, whose story would i like to read if he gets one. The art was good and charas too. A sweet, warm,precious and healing manga. Was a nice read, highly recommended!!~ coz i loved it~

A fun read

Just looking for a happy story before bed and that's what I got. Personally, I loved it! The art was very nice—not too much, but still finished and polished looking. I recognize the red fate string thing, but I've actually never encountered a story about it. So while it was a light read, it was still a fun and fresh story. Maybe it was cheesy in that it contained some cliches? Like common conflicts or characters you find in these short, light mangas? But it certainly wasn't cheesy in a cringey way. I found it sweet, heart warming, and amusing! The sex scene was certainly a bonus.

It was a cute story and no one got raped (I hate that that’s a high bar. But here we are.). The love interest was such a cutie, too.

The theme itself is not a common trope, as an Asian, I’m really glad that non-Asians get to know of red fate strings stories… most asian culture have such “myths”.. feels a little not complete and like that the author says! Lastly, finally it just release official in Taiwan😭😭😭😭!!! 2022 Dec!

No noncon, good art, great story, and both characters are extremely endearing -- this is heartwarming and wholesome. I would get an IV if I could.
