Very cute manga series that I look forward to the next installment of. There was slightly less emphasis on the in-game interactions, though they were certainly still there. Hashimoto is still very dense, but he's working on being more assertive in the relationship which is good, lol.

Hashimoto and Shirase have been dating a year and they live together, but the same misunderstandings and miscommunication continue. But at least they’re trying to be better versions of themselves and better boyfriends for one another. And in the end, they manage to talk things through.

The other story-line follows the brothers Ren and Kumada. The big-brother is overprotective and it bothers Ren. Plus they still both have a crush on Hashimoto. But there’s a cute story from their childhood, which connects to Hashimoto (and Shirase?) too, as we learn later in the bonus story.

This was cute and sweet, but didn’t really change much. A quick read.

I feel as if each following volume is getting shorter and shorter. Like, I'm glad for a bit of development we got between Hashi and Shirase (well... for Hashi, really) but like nothing is happening :( They had one date and that's it.

We didn't even get that much miscommunication romp this time around since everyone got rather sidelined. I did enjoy the chapter of their childhood, but it made me wanna ship Kuma and Hashi instead lmao. I don't know... I feel like we are only cruising along here.

I love this book!

It’s so sweet and funny! The misunderstanding is the funniest part of the story. Remind me of “Three Company” (US TV series). I can’t wait for the next book. If I can I would preorder it on Amazon that way I know I won’t miss it when it comes out!

I really like how the author wrote this. I feel like its very rare that a series is based on a healthy relationship that isn't incredibly toxic when it comes to BLs. I really enjoyed reading this series and it made me laugh a lot.

This is such a feel-good series. The art is so nice, Shirase & Hashimoto are as cute as always, although I would've liked to see a little bit more progress in their relationship. I also love the Kumada brother's and would really like to see more of them.

Funny misunderstandings aside, this romance is slow and pretty bland. I’m not sure if I’ll continue in the future.

This is one of the best BL series I have read. This is not only a green flag manga, but it is also super funny. I couldn’t recommend this manga enough.

THE RINGS?!? I was smiling like a lunatic and Hashimoto wanting to put more into the relationship? Very cute, I just wish it had been longer like 2 & 3 compared to 1?
