"when we get to the point when misaki can initiate the kiss, then can we continue with what we were doing just now?"
this is how you do consent! misaki is so introverted he'd rather go with the flow but arikawa actually giving him the choice is so rare in yaoi it needed to be pointed out. both characters are so precious, this story is really a must read
this is one of my absolute favorites and there's a few reasons why. first, kira treats kazuaki with the umost respect and even tho he's tempted to lose all control it doesn't happen - as it so often does in other mangas - and kazuaki is able to realize how much kira loves him and how much he, kazuaki, loves kira. second, they have a very healthy relationship based on communication and trying to understand the other's point of view and i find this really rare in BL mangas
so pure and warm
