Overall rating for all 3 volumes

A nice slice of life story but not long or substantial enough to be memorable. You can tell that the mangaka decided to rush to end the story on the last volume.

Me lo leí porque, al ser otro manga de Sho Harusono, quería leerme una historia suya y me daba curiosidad ver lo que podría hacer fuera del Yaoi.
La verdad es que me ha sorprendido para bien. Empecé el manga sin tener ni idea de la temática. Y me ha gustado muchísimo.

Me gusta que, para ser un manga centrado en estudiantes y la vida escolar (y dentro de ésta, clubes de diferentes actividades), no se hace nada pesado. Hay muchos mangas (sobretodo de romance) en el que los protagonistas son estudiantes y se hace muy muy muy muy pesado leer continuamente cosas de clases y festivales.
Me ha gustado que butai ni sake va directo a lo que va. Se centra en la trama concreta y punto, no se va por las ramas para alargar la historia.

Me ha parecido, además, super original que trate sobre el teatro. Cuando lo empecé no estaba convencida al 100% de que me fuese a gustar, pero definitivamente me lo volvería a leer.

He disfrutado muchísimo la actuación de Imari y Asashi. Tengo muchas ganas de saber más de los demás personajes y de ver como Asashi va superando sus barreras mentales con el tema de las amistades.

También me ha gustado mucho que ambos personajes principales tengan este tipo de trasfondo con el tema de las relaciones sociales.

Y sé que no es un BL/yaoi, pero… aquí hay química. Dicho está 😃

I decided to read this manga because it's a work by Harusono-sensei, of course. Since I first encountered her works, I immediately liked and fell in love with her storytelling style and artwork.

Although I don't like this manga as much compared to "Sasaki and Miyano" or "Hirano and Kagiura," I can still find it enjoyable and pleasant because it focuses entirely on school life and club activities. However, for some reason, I feel something is missing. The background story that serves as the main foundation of the plot feels weak to me, and that bothers me a bit.

A very interesting manga about a high school student that applies to the Theater club in order to learn how to express himself better. I can't wait to read more.

if my anxiety had a name, it’d be Oniwa Asahi 😭 relatable is an understatement

It ended??? Nooooooo I enjoyed it so much and they ended it suddenly with a time skip too? 😭😭 it’s over and I’m so upset

Siento que la autora quiso acelerar el final porque se concentró en sus otras historias pero aún así es bueno.

Ey referencia a Akutagawa

I loved it. Although I think it's a love story, it's not cursi, so I love it a lot

Me llenaba de ilusión poder leer algo más Shou Harusono.

Su dibujo es tan bonito y sus historias demasiado tiernas. Quiero ver un poco más para ver como se desarrolla la historia.

el mejor manga que e leído de bl lo ameee

[Vin · Rating 5 out of 5]

this series is really good! harusono touches on social anxiety so well and asahi is a really well written character. as someone with social anxiety its so hard to find media that has proper representation for social anxiety, so i hold this series dear to my heart because of how well written he is. there also scenes in this series that makes you feel how asahi feels, especially when he’s watching imari act.

[ailuu · Rating 3 out of 5]

the story is really good and gives a lot to talk about. i love harusono drawing and how she does her mangas, so i had high expectations on this manga. final disappoints me, it still has a lot to develop.

Asahi is literally me, I am asahi

[Kenza · Rating 4 out of 5]

(Up to chapter 17)

I want to see more of Imari and Asahi. I'm looking forward to more chapters!

Also, Asahi character is so relatable
