Nishida Higashi hit the ball out of the park with this one. Usually her yaoi, with its bickering McBickerson idiot couples and oneupmanship pissing contests, irritates me like chewing on food with eggshells in it. But I have to hand it to her, she kept her style but sanded off all the gritty edges. The men are still "all-male". The star baseball player Hidaka still thinks he's hot stuff as he plays around on his girlfriend and then, blames her when she dumps him for another guy at the start of a cruise. He still acts like a bear with a sore paw, aiming to make everyone around him as miserable as possible in order to punish HER. The ship's captain, Matsudo, pulls some really, really stupid stunts in order to protect his crew and, in his unreliably skewed eyes, his kid. But there's that kid, Yuuto ... soft, shy, wanting to make his friends happy. The things that Yuuto brings out of these men and the things these men bring out of each other, changes everything. It's so against Nishida Higashi's usual storyline and default characters, and it's so GOOD. Stick with this one, even during the goofy parts, because it's worth it.
((†)) Impressive Scene ▸▸ After letting his Uke go, the captain uses a rope, jumps from the cruise like a spider-man to chase after him among the crowd.. [ Wow.. You know how to make such a scene, uncle! (≧◡≦) ] Stupid-Uke : Don't grab my ass. Stupid-Captain : Let me hold it.. Let me hold it every day. Stupid-Uke : That's all? Dirty old man! Stupid-Captain : Let me hold it until the day I die. Stupid-Uke : ..Jeez. ➽ That's an utmost proposal, his dirty old man can make! HA+
Cocky Baseball Player / Ace x Cruise Ship's Captain > I really liked the scene at the swimming pool when the captain touched Hidaka a bit again (leaving aside the initial contact at the beginning of the story, with the sexual assault kinda thing by the captain to make Hidaka leave the cruise at the next stop) and later on when they started to get really intimate. I liked the vibe going on! Then, when Hidaka was about to leave the ship and the captain jumped down with a rope, it was hilarious, but at the same time it was somehow an impressive and emotional scene! haha loved it!
