Feels a bit dated and rough. But the last story was my favorite 😍

[Yue · Rating 3 out of 5]

There are several stories, which at first I thought was disappointing since I liked the first one. But at the end, I liked all of them. There are all mostly clean, all of them involves a kiss and some of them a bit more, but nothing all the way.

Stories: 1) Parallel Lines: two gay guys have a crush on a cute straight guy, Minato. Thanks to Minato, they become closer but they still like to quarrel. They are all students in a fashion school, and slowly, the two guys realize they have fallen for each other. They work together in their fashion project, but that doesn't stop them to still compete, even when it come to kisses. 2) If you say my name: two students meet in the woods. One of them is a member from the boxing club. They talk and become friends, till the boxer kisses the other one. None of them know the name of the other one. 3) Fly Straight to The Sky: both MC are part of the athleticism club. Guy A is better than Guy B, and also very popular. Guy B gives his all to be better, he sees Guy A as a rival. Till one day they are roommates and Guy A kisses Guy B and tells him that he loves him. 4) Cafe Latte Letter: the barista at the Caffe makes the best latte according to Guy B. Guy B has been traveling for a year and Guy A has been missing him very much. This one is chastest story.

This is a collection of four simple but cute love stories.
While reading it I was thinking that they might be connected somehow (maybe a character from the first story going to the same school that someone of another)... but no. And that feels like a wasted opportunity.

I have mixed feelings because not all the stories were as appealing to me. The last one -"Cafe Latte Letter"- was my favorite even if is one of the most basic ones. But it feels so real.

All the stories are cute in general, some of them have more depth or background (I vaguely remember the one about the guys in the athleticism club that share a room, that's how boring it was).

All in all, it's a nice and fast reading with very lovely art. Nothing out of ordinary but enjoyable never less.

This is the 3rd manga with face-to-face cover that I read in this 2 days, what a coincidence, lol.

Anyway, although I liked the first story but somehow I loved the last story the most. :)
