The way this story began, from the first chapter it had me captivated (crying from the start) but there are also many things i wish were a bit different. And more importantly I wish there were more development between Ryo and Hayato’s relationship. The build up was really good. Hayato's inner struggle was really well done. He was torn apart by his own feelings. I felt like i was losing sleep myself reading it but then it was quite quick that Ryu accepted hayato’s confession. We didn't see Ryo's inner struggle how it came to this decision. He loves hayato a lot. but it felt like he accepted hayato's feeling out of desperation because he didn't want to lose him, didn't want to see him hurt, not because he saw him in that light in the slightest bit. He wanted hayato's happiness so he chose that way. Like "if you want this, i will do this". I wish there was more development in Ryo's feelings too. Also i wondered what if they paired Take with Hayato and Kento with Ryo. It's just even though Take is too tall, he still is 13 or 14 years old. I mean look at Masato, he is a baby. It's not only about the age gap but also about how Take was portrayed. I have read some other mangas where even though a guy is tall and looks mature for his age, his personality and stuff shows a bit of his age, the way they talk, behave and think. But Take here - he didn't seem real (and dude was only 14/15 when they...... At least wait some more years if you are gonna date someone so young). Also Kento and Ryu are the ones who spent most time together as they work together. So that pairing would have been nice too. Also I really liked the name "Ame".
