During December the holidays, Takao and Midorima get into a fight over not being able to act in public as a normal heterosexual couple: no holding hands, no flirting in public, no hugging and kissing, don't even think about it! Takao thinks that it's only he who wants those but in fact Midorima is just the same.
Pairing: Takao x Midorima, Midorima x Takao. This is a book about their normal lives over the New Year's holidays when they are cohabiting college students.
Just them being boyfriend, the first chap takao could read midorima's mind even when he say nothing
The second and third just about takao want yo act lovey dovey on christmas and new year's eve but cant because they are both man and thus will be judged for it
One of the themes in this piece is about how difficult it is to do some things in a non-hetero relationship, like holding hands and kiss in public, if the norm is discriminating against it.
I don't read/watch KnB but I know what Christmas is like in Japan so this was fun to read. The art is so good and so's the story so it doesn't matter that I don't know the source material-- I can still enjoy this.
