This was a cute, short read! You should give this manga a shot if you’re looking for a sweet bl to read in under an hour.

I think the story would’ve benefited if it had more chapters. That’s all.

Absofreakinglutely loving this one.

One can read minds. One is running away from his past. The other knows what he's thinking. The other doesn't know the other knows.

Loving it so much!

This was so cute and wholesome. It moves pretty fast and I would've liked a little more from the relationship, but overall I enjoyed it. The mind reading aspect reminded me just the tiniest bit of Cherry Magic.

nothing remarkable, but it was really cute and wholesome. the main couple was pretty healthy, even though i felt it didn't have much development but that's more just my opinion.

We’re not breaking any kind of new ground here — this is basic, standard BL fare: guy who has held himself apart due to a ~traumatic experience in his past meets another guy who gets through the walls he’s put up. Even the whole, “I can read your thoughts,” thing isn’t new.

However, let’s head straight to the personal pros. To summarize: three characters and the art.

● I am a sucker for younger seme (well in this case relatively younger seme) and Medamayaki delivers in the form of Abe, who is all “UWU MIURA-SAN” (it kind of hurts me he never called Miura, “Miura-sempai”). TBH, he’s like at least 2 of the 3 stars I’m giving this mango. His desperate “WAIT HOW DO I GET HIM TO STAY LONGER,” thoughts, the way his face lit up when Miura came running in after being LIKE ALMOST AN HOUR LATE MIURA WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU, he is so pure.

● Miura is also low-key cute. I wish I could have seen more of him spoiling Abe silly (curse you, lack of かきおろし!!).

● FOR SOME REASON I REALLY LIKE ABE’S SISTER? Especially when she was lecturing Abe on the fact that he needs to communicate with words and not just rely on Miura’s mysterious powers and Abe was like こくっ・・・ and big sis was all ‘いい子!’ I love that one panel?

● The art is REALLY CUTE? It’s my jam. I like it. I was convinced to buy this because of the cover, and the mango art itself really does not disappoint.


But now we go to the personal cons:
So very basic storyline. You have read this once and this is the thousand and nth time you’ve read it.

● That problem with the timeline again. After, what, 2 dates? They’re basically ready to declare eternal love for each other.

● Dat ending tho. Where Miura is running through the campus in — boy, are those crocs? — roomwear or whatever day-old clothes and then says something slightly embarrassing in front of other people and then they have to go hide somewhere — god, this scene is a fucking trope and I’m over it. I’m OVER it, think of some other way they can clarify their feelings to each other

● LOL bringing up the old ex-friend who for some reason until now HAS NOT GOTTEN OVER what happened in fucking MIDDLE SCHOOL? Get outta here. Also how did you know it was him ... I didn’t even recognize a couple of classmates after we graduated from college ... shit.

Also, I may have made a Mistake by buying the second hand physical mango? The digital mango has 電子限定かきおろし. Maybe it’s really cute? Dammit.

The style and character designs were so cute! That said, the love interest felt a little flat since their background is not established. His character is also uninteresting.

I really didn't like the repeated comments about the sister being too chatty - to the point that it affected the main character's personality. It felt kind of misogynistic.

Sehr süßer Oneshot, bei dem es viel um Kommunikation geht.
Toshiki kann Gedanken lesen und sein Leben ist damit nicht gerade einfach - er muss sehr aufpassen, damit er nicht plötzlich jemanden anspricht und bedacht halten, damit es niemand merkt. Aus diesem Grund hat er sich auch weitestgehend zurückgezogen und verbringt die Tage als Einzelgänger. Doch eines Tages trifft er auf Momiji, der zwar sehr schweigsam ist, ihn in Gedanken aber gerade zu anhimmelt, was das Zeug hält!

Ja, eine etwas ungewöhnliche Kennenlerngeschichte, aber irgendwie auch sehr cute. Der Plot ist mal ein wenig anders und die Charaktere sind sehr herzlich. Man versteht sie recht schnell und schließt sie auch umgehend ins Herz. Ihre Handlungen sind nachvollziehbar.
Das Artwork ist eher schlicht, hat aber dennoch einige Details parat. Passt sehr gut dazu.

Es gibt ein paar spicy Szenen zu sehen, diese gehen aber nicht sonderlich ins Detail, weswegen sie für mich auch nicht unangenehm waren. Hatte eine gute Balance. Insgesamt ein sehr schöner Oneshot mit Wohlfühlcharakter.

Irgendwie passt der Titel überhaupt gar nicht zum Inhalt, ich finde, entweder ist es komisch übersetzt oder ... i dunno.
Jedenfalls lügt hier eigentlich kaum niemand und schon gar nicht geübt. Und es gibt auch niemand manipulativem, was ich eigentlich von dem Titel gedacht habe.

Eigentlich geht es nur um Toshiki, der Gedanken hören kann und deswegen eine Schulfreundschaft zerstört hat - zu unrecht, weil andere Menschen immer nie das sagen, was sie meinen. Und er sich seitdem zurückgezogen hat und keinerlei Beziehungen oder Bekanntschaften mehr möchte.
Er trift auf Momiji, der ihn anhimmelt und der keinen einzigen negativen Gedanken für ihn hat, sondern eher SEHR positiv.
Sie kommen zusammen und ... eigentlich war das die Story :D

Es passiert nichts mega aufregendes. Die Idee ist süß, aber auch irgendwie nicht sehr ausgearbeitet. Ich mag aber den Zeichenstil ungemein, daher kreigt es 3 Sterne.

Creo que de todos los oneshots que me he leído con temática bl, este ha sido mi favorito. Para empezar, que la historia trate de leer mentes me parece un 10/10 (no quiero comparar con otros mangas, pero cherry magic es de mis mangas favoritos y me ha encantado encontrar algo con aires similares).
Me ha encantado que sea TAN fluffy, que no tenga absolutamente nada de drama y que todo se desarrolle de manera tan fluida.

Creo que esta lectura es muy rápida y es ideal cuando quieres un momento de confort.

En cuanto a los personajes, Miura me ha parecido muy mono, la verdad. Entiendo totalmente su decepción con la falsedad de los seres humanos y pobrecito mi nene que le ha tocado la maldición de leer mentes. Y Abe me parece una masita, no sólo por lo honesto que es, pero por cómo trata él mismo de cambiar para que Miura se sienta más cómodo sin tener que leer mentes cada dos por tres.

4.5/5

Es un manga súper cortito pero es realmente lindo. Tenía mucho tiempo queriendo leer algo tan lindo que fue un respiro de aire fresco.

El desarrollo de la historia es un tanto sencillo al igual que el de los personajes, pero aún así todo se siente bastante genuino y orgánico, logrando que puedas simpatizar con toda la situación sin problemas.

Sin duda puedo decir que este manga se va a convertir en una historia que relea de forma recurrente, por lo que podría recomendarlo sin problemas.

Sukaaaaaa! Gaya gambarnya, plotnya, pembawaan ceritanya, karakternya, suka semuanya!
Kusuka seme yang lembut, baik hati, ditambah nilai plus-plus: bucin setengah mati!!--seperti di manga ini.
Apalagi disandingin sama older uke yang luarannya dewasa, mandiri, bisa segala-galanya, dan sempurna, tapi sebetulnya dia menyembunyikan kelemahan dan luka hatinya :"") /apa
Huhuhu~ paduan seme dan uke favorit pokoknya~

Btw, saking sukanya, ini manga sampai kubeli fisiknya! Senang!

Je me suis dit q'un petit yaoi pour commencer la journée pouvait être une bonne idée mais, honnêtement, je suis déçue.
Je ne m'attendais pas à grand chose mais … je ne sais pas, c'était plat selon moi. Les scènes intimes arrivent un peu comme un cheveu sur la soupe, les dialogues, internes ou externes, ne sont pas toujours des plus complets, …
Enfin bref, je ne sui spas des plus convaincue.
