A bit boring at start, but was still a nice story.

Ah so good! Something about the relationship in this one reminded me of the way Blue Sky Complex is written. Like they're different, but the feelings I get from BSC I also got from this. Kei Ichikawa is just too good.
Murakami works in sales and looks up to Honna, an editor of a trendy magazine his company does business with. Honna is cool, pretty, and good at his job. One day they both go to the same drinking party and Honna ends up drunk and passed out in Murakami's lap. Murakami ends up taking Honna home and the story goes from there.
I will say I think the back and forth with the cleaning felt too long? The way Honna started the relationship was a bit odd, but it was still cute. Once it started go deeper into their relationship and their realization of their feelings, though... I was sucked in. Definitely wanted more.

I was surprised to like this one as much as I did. The characters were likable and accomplished, they had good chemistry together, and I enjoyed the resolution of their budding relationship. It was also nice to see a conversation between the two men over their “ground rules” for intimacy since heaven knows how rare such conversations are in any romance but particularly BL manga!

It obviously wasn't perfect, but I was just so happy to read a BL with no minors or SA involved.

I admire the author because they said "I will make this manga for myself, with a protagonist that is attractive to ME first of all" and then they did it. I want to do that too.

I'll change my last review, I think the one-shot, standalone is a good choice for this. It could probably go on, but in itself it's a complete story. I have no idea where the title comes from though.

Got this one through kindle. I guess it's just the one book? I almost wish there was a bit more, because by itself this was a bit plain. It felt like you just got to know the characters and then it suddenly ended.

I read this like 3 days ago and it was so bland that if someone held a gun to my head and told me to list one unique detail I'd just have to let them shoot me.

Soc generosa amb les estrelles perquè tant l'estil d'il·lustració com de narració de Kei Ichikawa em fascinen, però aquesta no és la seva millor història. Tot semblava anar molt bé, però per al meu gust s'espatlla al final. Típica història d'un noi guapíssim, popular i carismàtic de qui un oficinista se n'enamora des de la distància, però una nit de borratxera serveix com a detonant per fer-se cada cop més íntims. El noi utilitza l'altre per endreçar casa seva, que és un autèntic caos, però en realitat és una excusa per passar estona amb l'altre. Tenim claríssim des del primer capítol que tots dos s'agraden, però el guapot és sorprenentment tímid i, tot i que es llança a fer-li un petó quan està begut, després desconfia de l'oficinista i s'imagina que està sortint amb una noia. De fet, el malentès és per partida doble i aquí és on s'enreda la història. L'oficinista marxa amb la cua entre les cames dubtant de la seva sexualitat després d'un petó apassionadíssim i quan per fi es decideix a donar una oportunitat a la relació, tenim una discussió absurdíssima sobre qui serà l'actiu i qui el passiu... un final massa descafeïnat per un relat slow burn que tenia molta versemblança :/

First off, yes, the tempo in this one is slow. That being said...
Chapter 6 starts off truly hilarious, and makes all the other chapters so worth it.
Two guys, so unsure, sitting around a laptop, searching for sex ed about gay sex for the third night in a row - HAVING A MEETING on how to actually be able to have sex with one another. About who should be top and bottom. Oh maaaaan, Ichikawa really is the queen of akward first sex situations.
And then totally deciding it via...rock, paper, scissors.
(And yeah, since I’ve already read a bunch of the author’s other works, my guess as to who was gonna be who was right.)

Nothing new.
I haven't read a lot of manga/yaoi, but this manages to repeat all the tropes without adding anything fresh or interesting. It's very disappointing. The art is good, but the writing is off. I had to reread parts because the thoughts/dialogue don't flow. Honna's drinking & messy room are weak plot devices. They're like a big deal to bring the guys together but really not a big deal that would bring the guys together. If I keep trying to think of more to say, I'm probably going to reduce my rating even more so I'm going to stop now.

Me encantó
Es una historia corta pero que se desarrolla muy bien, los dos personajes principales son adultos y la relación entre ellos es muy tierna y graciosa. La escena final de las "reuniones" no tiene precio. Lo amé y lo volvería a leer cada vez que quiera algo cortito y romántico para subirme el animo.

Al principio es un poco lento, no aburrido, pero sentís a los personajes medio torpes. Luego se va poniendo interesante y algo dulce por conocer los pensamientos y sentimientos de los protagonistas, no hay toxicidad ni clichés malos de los BL, con un final tierno.
De lectura rápida para una tarde, leeré más del autorx, si es que tiene más. Recomendado :).

Ay, está bonito, la verdad. Obvio, como cualquier tomo único es complicado que detalle muchas cosas, pero siento que se siente fluida la historia. Y pues me encanta el dibujo de Kei Ichikawa.
Este tomito es bueno para pasar la tarde o noche con una lectura relajada y tierna de algún modo.

El dibujo es muy lindo en la tapa, dentro no tanto.
La trama es muy simple para mi gusto y el conflicto muy corto.
Creo que los personajes no se alcanzan a mostrar en su 100% ni se entiende por qué son de una manera u otra.
Queda como una historia bastante superficial.

¿Soy tonta o este manga es medio confuso? Siento que la ubicación de algunos globos de textos era medio confusa. Más allá de eso, es una historia para pasar el rato y ya, los personajes son tiernos pero la trama no tiene nada muy memorable. Honna es muy bonito tho, me gusta cuando se sonroja. 😌

Muy divertida la obra. Me rei mucho con el final.
El autor logró que amara los personajes.
Las escenas finales me dieron mucha risa.
Muy recomendable si buscas algo ligero para leer entre lecturas más densas.

Lo odie, esperaba una linda historia de amor y fue terrible. La trama era ridícula y la forma de actuar de los personajes también.

Para ser un tomo único estuvo 10/10.
Me diverti mucho con los personajes y la historia.
Esta muy bueno para pasar un buen rato, con una pareja interesante y muy cómica.
