it wasn't bad, but it was really poorly executed. maybe if it had more volumes, it could've explored everyone's feelings better, given them more space, and maybe included a time skip of a few years. i think that would've worked much better. everything felt way too rushed, and that's what gave me such a weird feeling.
i didn't think it was strange for a 12-year-old kid to have those naive ideas about becoming a father and all that, but the fact that he held onto those feelings for 18 years? lol. honestly, he's the one who needed some distance so he could start seeing akane differently if he really loved him.
anyway, it felt like an incomplete and rushed story, but the art is beautiful as always with this author. it was okay, though. entertaining enough.
what an absolutely gorgeous art style. this author always has some of the most beautiful and breathtaking artwork.
as for the story, i have to admit that during the first two chapters i got secondhand embarrassment a few times and almost decided to put it on hold, but i'm really glad i kept reading because it became so good and so enjoyable that it was totally worth it. shogo is a bit weird and eccentric at the beginning, but that ends up making him such a more interesting character later on. i also loved ousuke. the way he was so sincere and honest about his feelings made everything feel so youthful and refreshing. i'd read it a thousand times over.
if you compare the art from volume 1 to volume 7, you can really see how much the mangaka improved. it's honestly amazing. hazuki had such a great glow up, after all he was just a teenager in the first volume, and by volume 7 he's a fully grown adult.
and i have to say how much i love minato and aoi together. they're so adorable, and i really liked how they genuinely feel like kids, both in the way they act and the way they talk. it was really well done. i'm not sure if this is the end, but i hope there'll be more volumes in the future. i'm looking forward to it.
reading this manga was such an emotional rollercoaster. it made me feel anger, sadness, hatred, happiness... pretty much everything. the characters were all so well written and developed, every single one of them, and everything was handled in a way that never left a bad taste in my mouth. i absolutely loved it. uichi was such an interesting character, but asoda was incredible too, his character development was so damn good. and don't even get me started on asami, i wish i had a woman like her in my life, she was just awesome. every high and low in this story was a pleasure to read.
the way he almost drowned was so silly lol, it reminded me of the time i almost drowned. anyway, this was such a fun and easy read. this kind of summer romance is always so cute and wholesome. even though it was short, it was a really good read.

i tried, i really tried. this was my second time trying to read it, but every time i get to chapter 60 it becomes impossible. the story gets so bad and so pathetic that i just can't keep going, even when i try. it genuinely becomes awful. philip is disgusting, he's unbelievably unlikeable, everything about him is terrible, he's just a walking pile of awful traits. and peter is just painful to read. at some point i couldn't even feel sorry for him anymore, i was just frustrated by everything he kept letting happen to him. like come on, get out of that situation, man. he literally goes through every kind of abuse possible: emotional, sexual, and psychological. i feel bad for him, but at the same time i get angry because of the position he ends up putting himself in. anyway, i almost never leave comments when i dislike a story this much, but i want to leave this here so i never convince myself to try reading it again.











this was one of those cozy read, amazing and heartwarming
