While I read books by Watarumi Naho before and liked most them, the reason I bought this starts with K and ends with usama Sakae. I have so utterly fallen for her I am beyond rescue.
I mean, just *look* at that cover. It makes me want to drop everything and try and find that curry shop. And as luck would have this this actually was a lovely novel as well.
There are two parts, the first told from the seme POV, the second from the uke. Kohira has always been one to fall in love at first sight - with the same person. In kindergarden, elementary school and high school he always fell in love with Nakui, always mistaking him for a girl before realizing who he was. And then, ten years after high school, the two of them meet again when Kohira's co-worker takes him to his favourite curry shop, which is run by Nakui after he inherited it from his dead wife's father. And this time Kohira won't fall in love with Nakui again, right?
Again, not a novel with particularly much tension, but with a kind of gentle longing and the kind of warmth that made me want to reread it even while reading it.
This novel worked for me because Kohira's problem isn't that Nakui is a guy (although it does make him hesitate a bit) - it's that he doesn't want Nakui to think Kohira thinks of him as a girl (which he doesn't). It's a bit difficult to explain in the review, but while both reasons come from the same source (society), the difference is that Kohira isn't ashamed of loving Nakui. (Actually, that point is stressed rather wonderfully in the second story.)
And I just have to say I loved both of them, especially Kohira who is absolutely adorkable. If it hadn't been for the sex part, which was a bit too clichéd for me to be entirely happy about it (no non-con, but the usual "seme can't control himself and fucks the uke until both pass out" which I am also getting real tired of) this would have been perfect. I also loved the curry shop as a setting, even though it made me horribly hungry. Also I think if authors insist on writing about delicious food they should also include the recipe. I really want to eat Kohira's favourite curry..
