This manga is what I'd like to call the holy grail of lighthearted yaoi. There was little to NO drama and absolutely no rivalries or violent Yakuza plots or random illnesses and accidents that tear their lives apart..... just a story about two men developing their relationship over the years. It's the perfect level of sugar and spice for the readers who want a break from "typical" yaoi plots
I've never been so irritated with a character before! Ueda has some MAJOR issues if she's seriously jealous of an innocent child who's only crime was adoring his father- and we ALL know his admiration is completely innocent.
To have your sensei defile your body in plain view of his young, impressionable child is just SICK. She's also a hypocrite for calling Shirotani "disgusting" for having sexual urges. WHO WAS THE ONE GIVING HIM A LEWD SHOW!? If that stupid bitch winds up being Shirotani's stepmother I'm going to be disgusted. Also, shame on his father for actually giving in to his student when she clearly needed help and guidance instead of a good fucking in his office.
Totally agree with you.... BURN THAT BITCH!!!
Agreed. I was so incredibly disgusted with how she intentionally let Shirotani see all of that.
The younger brother in the last story needs a good swift kick in the balls, honestly. The older brother also needs to open his eyes and realize what a PRICK his little brother is for ratting him out to the entire school. I believe in redemption and forgiveness, but there is absolutely no good redeeming qualities in the little brother. They're both 100% convinced that the little brother did nothing wrong. ARE THEY NUTS!? (obviously the answer is YES)
This manga was first (and so far only) one to make me cry like a baby at its conclusion. THIS is what yaoi should be: a story about the life and friendship of two men who eventually came together despite the odds. Their lives were forever intertwined.
BEAUTIFUL story.
This story DESPERATELY needs to give us more information about the main characters. We're 20 chapters in and yet we're still clueless about Kurose and Shirotani. There's only been a glimpse into Shirotani's past, and absolutely nothing has been given about Kurose. I've seen so many people getting angry at Kurose for the way he behaves towards Shirotani, but i have a strong feeling that people would change their tune if they could empathize with him in some way, or feel like they understand him. WE NEED A BACKSTORY, SENSEI!
You do remember sensei saying that this story's gonna be a slow one? :3 Maybe sensei's taking her/his time... Does this answer ur question?
Well we did see one of Kurose's flashbacks (I think)

I'm aware of the "flashback".... but the thing is, what are we supposed to gather from that one image, ya know? I'm just waiting for a little more info! I'm dying to know more about him
my question? lol... I knew already that the story was slower paced, that's not the problem. I'm just anxious to know more! And it'd be nice to know more about Kurose simply just so his "haters" will shut up. lol. If you go on Tumblr it's basically the "lets all gather and hate on Kurose" place. I'm tired of hearing how "horrible" he is when we don't know his full story!
I agree completely..
Please sensei, just give us a little glimps into his mind! (╯°Д °)╯
Why on EARTH does there need to be another stereotypical "bitchy female" in this manga!? I already want to smack the living hell out of her. What right does she have to start yelling at Taichi and saying he's good for nothing? BITCH! AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR YOU IN THIS MANGA!
Also, nothing makes me more irritated than watching the main characters have a misunderstanding and whatnot and neither one will grow a pair and TALK about their issues. It's even MORE irritating when another character becomes the villainous wedge between them. Plus, I feel like I'm missing something... why are the two boys at odds all of the sudden? I thought things were okay between them now??
While the concept and the story line itself are rather ridiculous, I still enjoy this manga. Yes, they could have met outside of school and saved themselves a bunch of unnecessary drama, but then we wouldn't have this little gem to read! haha. Let's just appreciate the story for what it is: SMUUUUUTTT
I found this manga a bit strange and hard to follow even despite it's short length. Two of the chapters were uploaded incorrectly, and not only that, the story line itself seemed disjointed and didn't really make much sense. I finished reading and found myself thinking "what exactly was the point of this?" nobody had clear motivation or desires. And what was with the uke's obsession with his "dad"? I feel like the mangaka was hinting at a one sided crush of some sort but never really elaborated on it (or anything, really)
So is it weird of me to say I loved the short story about the high heels?? haha. I'm one of those people who believe everyone should wear whatever the heck they want no matter what gender.
And you gotta admit that big beefy guy was rockin those heels and jeans WAY better than most women! FIERCE AS FUCK! lol
this story was hard for me to finish simply because of the uke aging down into a little boy as the story progressed. Yes, I realize the mangaka acknowledges that her design changed along with her tastes, but that doesn't make it right to completely alter a character into someone almost entirely different. I actually have no problem with shota characters at all... but I do have a problem with random character design changes such as this. It's unrealistic and quite strange, and "puberty" isn't a valid excuse as to why the seme grew into an actual man while the uke went from being a handsome guy to devolving into a shota-chibi hybrid... what does he become next? A fetus?
OMG LMAO "fetus" You are too funny. *wipes tears*
I felt the same about Miya. I liked him better at the beginning. But Watanabe-sensei is known for her "poetic licence". She builds her own world with her own rules and invites you in to play. And you can't help but get caught up, loving every minute.
