In volume ,Tatsuya and Shinozaki are in 5th grade and they are best friends.
One day the music teacher, a perverted pedo, has a request for Yumi,a girl who uses the teacher to get expensive gifts and with designs on Tatsuya, the teacher wants Yumi to use his best friend Shinozaki (who recently confessed), as bait to lure Tatsuya to the music room...Shinozaki and Tatsuya's future does not look good.This volume was so hard to me. I literally cried so much. You know they are just in 5th grade for God sake! But so many people found this first volume objectionable and they just read first volume. If you could just read four of them you'll understood how beautiful this.
I've never read a yaoi this heartwarming. I cried, I laughed and I cried some more.The end was so sad, but beautiful! It was reading someones life story and it a beautiful one, that's for sure. Tatsuya betrayed Junichi I was sobbing and screaming and so angry and when they met up again I had mixed feelings, but I was so happy! Tatsuya.... he only pissed me off when he betrayed Junichi and seperated for years but if junichi can forgive him enough to stay then I as a reader will too.
Loved how the mangaka closed the story with Junichi and tatsuya together and I can understand why the mangaka made the Gakkun and the son not become a couple otherwise Junichi wouldn't have been surrounded by family and grandiose. I wonder if I'll be able to read this again since my heart is way to weak. Haha, I can't stop writing how amazing this is... well... the author is defiantly amazing and this manga is now my favorite yaoi ever, and I've read a lot of yaoi. Anyways I am in love with this manga and just the whole story itself was great. Really good meaning behind it and I suggest a few tissues by your side if you read .

January 15, 2024***This review was written in 2019 when I originally read this story, and it is meant to be a review for the series as a whole, not just this volume
It started out well, and it had everything to make me really love it, but after they got older the story became plagued with problems. My main issue was the way Tatsuya left Junichi in their 20s and then never even really apologized for it. I also really didn't like the treatment of Kenta and Gakkun's relationship. They absolutely did not have to end up together, but I didn't like the progression the author took with their story. Not to mention, the very weird pacing throughout. Probably the main factor for me not loving this story, though, is that I have already read the superior version, Life: Senjou no Bokura.

Why, oh, why did I re-read this? The love in this series is so overwhelming. You always want the couple to stay together forever, but you never really want to see it end. Seeing this love from childhood to death... I'm so envious. I don't think I could've lived through half the stuff these characters lived through, but they made it work in the end. Just keep a box of tissues handy.
