I really liked the story, and how it touched realistic aspects of friendship and love. I really liked how they were hoping, not expecting, when in love, because it really happens in real life --- people promise you something, yet they just can drop you off anytime when it's more convenient for them (and they know you'd understand anyway).

Sooo, I was just wondering.. Miki's an escort, right? (I mean, he sold himself for sex.) And he's being "supported" by around 4 people (If I remember it right, the big-chested naked woman who talked to him about the CD mentioned how aside from her, he's "owned" by 2 office ladies and a gay businessman, or something)... So, did he actually cut off those connections or would he continue with his lifestyle since Teru knew how he felt anyway? I'm just wondering because I felt like it was just kept in the dark afterwards... (I mean, I know that Teru didn't mind it much before, because they were just f*** buddies, but being in a relationship is different, right?)

That is to say, I just really want to read more of their relationship, because I want to know how they deal with things from then on... I really loved how they had so much fun together despite their uncertainty and insecurities, you know? Their smiles were so heartfelt.

Just finished rereading... I still felt mixed emotions reading this manga. I got really pissed off and annoyed a lot of times, but that didn't stop me because I wanted to see the characters beyond their faults... or something like that. XD

Anyway, I liked the ending because it was linked to the first book, but I felt a bit dissatisfied, especially because I didn't really see Momo's character mature, you know? I mean, sure, she's changed, but with the situation towards the end, I couldn't accept that we just have to assumed she's finally gotten mature and secured with her feelings. I would've liked to see them finally treasuring each other, without the baggage of their previous love/relationships... (I mean, I know we get bits of them in Sae's Story, but it's different when it's her own POV, right?) And Toji... He's left just like that. We didn't really get to know him much, or maybe it's just me? But anyway, it was good.

I couldn't stop my tears towards the end, even when I already prepared myself. It's just that this manga is very realistic.

We often strive harder in order to give something to ourselves or our special someone, but oftentimes, we lose sight of our original purpose, and only realize what we neglected when it's gone.

I truly felt sad for Miaomiao (the wife)... I wonder how Yuan Ge would continue his life though? Would he choose to remain single all his life, maybe as an act of atonement, or to simply prove that she's the only one for him... or would he eventually get over her, fall in love with another woman, and finally make the family he refused to have before?

Well, if it were up to her, she'd probably want him to move on and live the rest of his life normally, because she's selfless like that. But if it were me, I wouldn't know if I'd really want that. Oh well, it's not like I can do anything about it anymore because I couldn't be with him any longer. He's free to fall in love again, because it was me who left him in the first place.. Oh sorry, that was a bit off topic.

But anyway, I really, really liked this manga. I'd surely reread this in the future, as a self-reminder on what I could be missing.

The atmosphere between Kuzumi and Yuu was so gentle and warm. I wish we see more of them. The glances, the subtle touches, the gentle kisses... Ahh, so good. (づ￣ ³￣)づ

I feel like there's still more to them though. It doesn't feel complete somehow, like there's something missing, but I can't pinpoint.

Anyway, I don't even want to dwell on the sexual abuse because it hurts my heart to imagine how a victim kept silent because he didn't want to destroy his mother's happiness, and maybe somewhere in his heart, he's afraid that even if he told her, she wouldn't believe him because she's too blinded by her own happiness with the assailant that she might even get jealous of him and hurt him more.. Well, okay, that was a bit exaggerated, but I've read some with those scenarios so, yeah.. Ugh.)

I'm also curious about what would happen to Yuuki and Amamiya. Would Yuuki continue to be a martyr and stay by his side, and be contented with an affair `coz he wouldn't want to break his family (though it's already broken `coz Amamiya kept on cheating), or would Amamiya be firm enough to divorce his wife, cut off all his affairs, and choose Yuuki? From what I've seen, Amamiya seemed self-centered... (Well, at least he didn't rape Yuuki or something.) I just wished he was more willing to make a real effort to pursue Yuuki if he really loved him.

So Tachibana justified his affair with Yugi as consensual since he informed Yugi from the start about his circumstances. It's not like Tachibana forced Yugi to love him while they're sneaking around; Yugi fell for him on his own. It's just like Mio's situation; he fell for Yugi on his own.

But I wish Tachibana suffered from his action even a bit, like for example, he seriously fell in love with his wife, and then the wife found out about his infidelity, then made him reflect even for a bit before accepting him back. I know that it's been implied that he changed for the better, by sending Yugi postcards telling him news about his family life, but what do we really know? He may have stopped having an affair with Yugi, but what if there was another one? I just wished we saw some painful expression that smug face, you know? I guess I'm just being greedy. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

ps. I liked how Yugi handled Mio's blackmail attempt, because it's somehow refreshing from the usual pushover uke who doesn't think before agreeing to comply to something. I mean, it was apparent that Yugi got scared when Mio told him what he saw, but he remained firm and refused to be led around. And, well, it was fun seeing Mio's embarrassed face. It's just nice seeing a seme fail in blackmailing the uke sometimes.

Ahhh... I can't unsee! Now everytime I see Kyouya (from Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji), I'd remember this uke, Yuutsuki, who acts like him. (￣∇￣")

Anywaaay, Yuutsuki's tendency is too much, I don't know if it's still considered tsundere?! I mean, if Kou wasn't patient enough, he'd probably end up alone and miserable. Errr. I like tough/dominant uke, but Yuutsuki's too much for me to handle; I need more preparations... (⊙…⊙ )

Still waiting for updates though, `coz I want to know if Yuutsuki would actually suffer the consequences of his actions, and mellow out a bit.

My first reaction was I was pissed off because Kisugi cheated on Tooru and began an affair with Natori. However, reading the last chapter, I realized that Kisugi was actually in an "open relationship" with Tooru, so he was free to have sexual relationships with others. Unfortunately for Tooru, Kisugi actually liked Natori seriously, so it wouldn't be like his past flings, where Kisugi would come back to him.

I liked how Kisugi thought that responding to someone's love and expressing your feelings to someone you love are different (hence, what he had for Tooru and Natori were different), but I wished he realized his feelings by himself. It seemed as if, had Yasuha not talked to him, he wouldn't have considered others' feelings and continued to be satisfied with how things were...

Oh well, all is good in the end.

It was somehow realistic, without heavy drama, so I didn't really dislike it despite the "affair."

Did anyone count how many times "adorable" was mentioned in the manga? They're too adorable so let's just let it be. (≧∀≦)

It was so fun to read mostly because:
- Taira proved his 100% devotion by staying true to his words (being a virgin was a plus, considering how hot he became);
- Taira's mom was so supportive of his son that she mentioned she might need to have another child because she wanted grandchildren (and she really did have another kid);
- Azuma killed the morning kissy-kissy time mood by asking how Taira liked kissing him like that in the morning when the mouth's supposed to be a bacteria paradise at that time (but Taira loved him more because of it);
- Taira immediately had his hair cut after hearing Azuma tell him he looked like a host/gigolo because of it;
- Little Taira saved Azuma from being hit, let out a menacing aura, and the older guy actually got scared/disturbed and left; and
-a lot more "adorable" scenes.


If you're not bothered by incest with blood relation (uncle x nephew), this could be a really fun read for you, too~~ ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

I can't remember how many times I've read this manga until now, but I still get giddy when I see Jun's (and his flowers, you know, the fluffy things floating around him and his uncle) cuteness and Saki-san's sexiness! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

I love how they did everything with consent, and there was no unnecessary drama...


ps. I also enjoyed the April Fool's special (Ch 8.5) because Akkun and Non-chan's cameo is just so adorable~ Good job, scanlators! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

This is just so hot and adorable. Their kisses were so sweet and sexy, like when they were having a kissing contest, the post-vomit french kiss, morning kiss, f*ck-off-he's-mine-with-matching-glare kiss, etc...

⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ They're just so perfect for each other!

Ahh, I wanted to see Ashitaka feed Noshiro his favorite cherry tomato. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

ps. I just remembered how Noshiro spat Ashitaka's fluid into his hole and licked/loosened it. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

I always adore how devoted and charming Noshiro is! (≧∀≦) (
