This was fantastic. It had so many things I love! A wonderful romantic comedy with depth and ~so many feelings.
Leo is the son of the owner of a successful ramen chain. His life is pretty uneventful; in his last year of high school his biggest worry is that he cannot find a boyfriend. That is, until his half term test results come in. His parents get a private teacher for him, and this teacher turns out to be Irie, a fellow student who pretends to be a university student in order to earn more money.
He certainly gets results, and even though he is pretty shrewd, Leo cannot help liking him somehow. When his best friend Hanazawa accidentally comes out to Irie (and outs Leo as well), Irie turns out to be gay as well.
So far so good. As time goes by, Leo realizes he's fallen in love with Irie. And, well, at some point Irie notices that he's in love with Leo as well. However, that doesn't mean they actually tell each other that...
I was already completely in love with the story after the first part. But then the second part was from Irie's POV and I was done for. I love Nagira Yuu's seme POV, and Irie's cluelessness was to die for. If anything, I'd have loved to read more from his POV in the end.
The plot involving the ramen and Leo's job didn't grab me completely, but it was all worth it for the resolution. The way Leo and Irie are together in the end is really close to my ideal. There's that balance I crave, and a... an everyday gentleness? I don't quite know how to put it into words but anyway, they're a lovely couple.
I loved Hanazawa as well, and I do wish she'd have done more with Manabu, a side character who appears during their high school days.
What I mentioned before is that she is one of the rare BL authors who try to write about actual gay people. It's still definitely BL, but at least most of her characters are actually gay or bi and think about the issues that come with that.
In her cover note she mentions that the characters who used to be her seme have now all become uke, and that she is running out of seme. Which is in itself a funny problem to have, but I see where she is coming from. If you compare this to her first novel, the seme and the uke's background are reversed. But seme or uke, I love her characters and her writing. This isn't as deep as some of the other books she's published this year, but it's also far from superficial. When it comes to BL novels, she is one of the best authors out there. I love her, can you tell?
