It's a cute story but the characters kinda look like Hinata and Kageyama, yeah? Very light hearted, ending feels like a queer YA novel, which is great and wonderful. It's very short and there's like no big spooky shocking conflicts so that feels relaxing.

I don't know, the lectures in the latter half kinda killed off any romantic mood the oneshot had previously built up until then. This is still a decent attempt and a strong debut for the mangaka after her days as a Haikyu!! doujinka, don't get me wrong, I'm just not in love with it as much as I'd like to. It got a bit too stale and overly wordy somewhere around midway for my personal liking. But at least the art is still as good as has ever been produced by the artist, so that's something.

Now this is how a cliched setting is turned on its head.
There characterization, story flow, narrative structure, over all coherence and cohesion of the story and the characters is just wonderful. And the art too. Clear and strong, with lots of details and shades.

I get what Makoto is feeling. He is afraid of society not accepting him, and very lost in life. He is a very realistic character.
Inu is quiet the awesome, savior type of guy. Makoto needed a guy like that.
It is a dj and a one shot, so it wasn't a masterpiece. It had many faults: The romance that developed was a bit unrealistic.
But I gave it a high score because of how relatable Makoto felt, and how gentle Inu was. He wasn't like "I am going to force you to kiss", he said "I won't kiss you if you DON'T WANT it, really, but don't let it be because of the way society mght look at you, or because you think it's wrong...so, what do you think??"
CONSENT CONSENT CONSENT. It was beautiful and sweet!
I am pretty sure if she made it an official, longer manga, she would have written something beautiful.

A lot of emotion packed into a oneshot. I was pleasantly surprised that the author addressed the issue of societal views and the effort it can require to overcome them, especially given the short length of this story. The high level view of the characters' journey and their interactions were charming and sweet. It's rare that I find a oneshot that pulls at the heartstrings while also using every page, drawing and sentence to actually tie in character development. I highly recommend this story for any looking for a oneshot with substance.
