This super duper cute couple briefly appeared in ymz sensei’s previous manga ヒゲと鈴としゃぼん玉, I really like all the short chapters about their light-hearted slice of life adventures together~ Through ups and downs in their relationship, they learn what it means to love and be loved.
The seme 西条清 is an ace at foreign investment institution, with lots of fans at work no matter man or woman, old or young. He’s a bit narcissistic and calls himself Mr. Perfect, full of energy and curious about everything in life. His love life hasn’t been so smooth, although he goes all in and keeps giving in previous relationships, he always gets dumped in the end.
The uke 並木冬夜 is a private investigator at a small firm run by a lady boss. He’s sweet and adorable, a bit of a push-over and has high tolerance level for the seme’s unreasonable requests. The uke is the first ever person who confessed to the seme and they’ve been dating for over a year now.
This pair have complimentary personalities, the seme seeks attention and is hard to please, the uke is low key and easy going. The seme is outspoken and expressive about his thoughts and feelings, whereas the uke just keeps it all in and doesn’t voice out. The seme feels insecure about dating and always worried that uke doesn’t love him or will leave him. The uke just use simple gestures to showcase his love and care, it’s about lifetime commitment until one of them dies…
The supporting characters are interesting too, making this world more realistic and relatable.
Uke’s lady boss is quite mature and sadistic, she cannot believe how the uke can put up with seme’s possessiveness, calling multiple times, coming to office, crying about stupid stuff…
Uke’s older brother disliked the seme’s cockiness since their first meeting and disapprove of uke’s bad taste, he’s been encouraging the uke to dump the seme…
Seme’s male colleague who’s had secret crush on him since high school, bid on a signed photograph of seme from fan club but lost it, bumped into the uke and understood why seme is head over heels for him…
Seme’s female colleague from London who’s rejected the seme previously because of his big ego, but thinks he’s changed for the better since dating uke…
El manga anterior era un poco más tranquilo, romántico, ligero... este es un tanto diferente. También tiene historias muy cortitas pero es todo muy divertido!! Lo exagerado de Kiyoshi y su actitud engreída me encanta (aunque entiendo que a no todos les agrade) y tal vez no combina con la actitud tranquila de Touya pero aún así hacen una pareja muy linda y amorosa.
Me encantó el detalle de que en su cita de al principio hubiera una tormenta y que después en el extra final también tuvieran su cita y comenzara a llover. Es justo como en el manga anterior con los cerezos. Me parece un detalle divertido y muy genial.
Aquí no todo es amor como en el manga anterior. Tenemos a un Kiyoshi muy inseguro en el amor pero siempre dispuesto a todo, y por otro lado tenemos a un Touya tranquilo que soporta a su novio pero igual lo ama. No son exactamente contrarios, pero a veces tienen problemas, diferencias e inseguridades, pero a pesar de todo hacen lo mejor que pueden para que todo funcione porque se aman y no ven otra forma de ser felices sin el otro.
En fin, lo recomiendo, es muy divertido y cortito.
