Honestly, that was really sweet. Felt more realistic than typical BL manga series. But it was a bit slow, and somewhat anti-climactic? Like there was never any super serious “oh my god! What’s gonna happen next!” It was “man.,, I hope they can get past this….” No serious excitement.

Enfaîte mc et ml ont tjrs été ensemble, ml a eu une vie modeste sans vouloir se faire remarquer et rester normal, et mc a tjrs été la et le soutien, le moment du crackage avait commencé avec mc qui n'ont pouvait plus et ml qui ne voulait pas faire face a 100% pour ses sentiments parce que c'est plus "normal" , en tout cas très belle histoire même les perso secondaires sont bien et sont pas juste la pour aider mc et ml pour se mettre ensemble mais montrer qu'il existe différents type de situation et différents fin <3
Aussi ils switch , ce qui est un gros point positif !!
L'appartement représente le lien qui les unit et reste stable, leur relation qui flechisser et qui ont comme même voulu le tenir et le serrer parce que ils tiennent tjrs la un l'autre. Points négatifs sur le temps ou ils ont été séparés ont le ressent pas vrm , genre j'aurais dit que ça fesait que quelques semaines mais enfaîte c'était presque depuis 2 ans

The writing is amazing and the characters super realistic... I'm not too into friends to lovers though, so that might be the spark I was missing

18 wow unexpected switch but also ughhh low context societies i cant they didnt just TALK but i get it childhood friends since babyhood i get it its hard to talk about this kinda stuff but damn this part "Suou didn’t deserve to be villianised just because he wasn’t mentally ready to jump to sex. Like bro, why don’t you just sit and talk with each other instead. Using sex as a means to make someone prove their love for you is so toxic and wrong.

I am so surprised that more people aren’t talking about it. As much as i pity Ryou, he was wrong for that. And then he goes around moping and acting like he’s the victim. And when they finally meet again, he pushes Suou away again. Honestly i loved them but they were also exhausting af."

i could linger in the first volume for ages... and i literally did. i remember for the longest time this was only translated up to ch 8 and i would check uselessly for updates, re-reading from time to time. The atmosphere was so perfectly full of yearning. the small touches when ryou is sleeping, the casual intimacy of ryou leaning his head over suou's shoulder, suou snooping in ryou's room because he needs to know what he's Thinking!!, fixating on the moles behind ryou's ears, teasing but never going further. I started inventing a drawn out 30 ch saga of escalating gay chicken and this manga became more imagined than real to me.

the second volume is frustrating in contrast. (and thoughtful well-designed frustration can be good and build anticipation, but this is just stupid). everything's out in the open already, and they even get on the same page, and it would all be solved if they just talk to each other, but for some reason they can't talk to each other?

still the beginning had me. it was just so full of YEARNING. and i loved ryou's design so much. curly hair and glasses and a stoic demeanor behind an unexpectedly cute face. sexually harassed by an older co-worker who thinks he's cute... it hit my buttons. and i'm so grateful it wasn't abandoned. didn't live up to the my lofty imaginings but what does?

This was absolutely amazing. After 300 or so Manga I've read so far, this is the first I'm considering buying. It was such a lovely story. It brought me to tears at the end. I wholeheartedly love it.
