[Anne Bollmann (Annelise Lestrange) · Rating 3 out of 5]

A sweet read, but I still can't abide with rape - it's not a fantasy I can support, not now, not ever. The art also had its weird moments, but nothing too bad.

trigger warning: rape
I just couldn't like the main couple, rape is a serious issue and has no place in such a short romantic manga (at least not when it's easily forgiven like that). So no, not for me...
Also, I feel no spark with the secondary couple.

2.5 stars

I thought this was a cute manga and had a soft spot for Hanano in particular because he was so adorable, but the topic of rape in both storylines (carried out in "Dolce" and implied in "Antipasto") disturbed me. Had that subject matter been eliminated, I would have given the manga another star and a half because I actually liked the characters, the romantic conflict, and the restaurant setting. However, I did appreciate the fact that Usami didn't immediately forgive Komiya for assaulting him. He even made it clear that what was done to him was horrible; something I don't see often, if at all, in the yaoi manga I've read in the past.
