First of all, I love the art style. Also the story is slightly low on the angst level as the conflicts get resolved soon but the plot is still good enough to keep you hooked. With just two volumes it’s an easy read but I hear we’re getting a second season, so that’s great too.

THESE TWO OWN MY HEART. <3

"i love you, minato."
"i love you too."
"i've loved you this whole time...from the moment i met you."
"i give you my everything...so you better take good care of it hmm?”

ugh the comfort and warm butterflies this couple has given me 🥺
they have officially made it to my fav manga couple i've read so far and honestly, one of my fav couples of all time. i love them so much if anything comes between them i will definitely cry my eyes out.
this is only the second volume so i know we have more to come. but it's very clear they are only it for each other. it took some time for them to finally get together but it was understandable. this couple does have some miscommunication/misundertstandings and just in general, not communicating (from minato's side mostly) but it's the type that doesn't anger you. with minato's past and his insecurities, it makes total sense. 💔 minato did have some great character development though. he’s starting to express his feelings and be more vocal about them. i'm so proud of him 😭 i just want to hug him and tell him how amazing he is and that shizuma literally doesn't get a shit about any other person besides him.
"i love you, so every little thing about you is precious to me."
~ shizuma is like god tier husband material. i love how he brings out the soft side in prickly minato.
”i love you, minato. i want to be with you. i want to learn more about you. [...]
i want to make you happy. i promise i won't let you regret it. please...choose me."
~ NOT ME INCLUDING ONLY QUOTES THAT ARE LOVE CONFESSIONS 😭😭😭 i'm sorry i can't help it THEY ARE JUST SO PERFECT AND I LOVE HOW SHIZUMA LOVES MINATO. this baby deserves it all!!!
it looks like in the next volumes we will be getting established couple and i'm so fucking excited for that.

I am totally in love with with gorgeous series. I finished all three available volumes within just 2 days. This series has quickly become one of my all time favourite manga series. It was cute, sweet, sexy and absolutely hilarious. At the same time it was very very emotional. The author portrayed grief, trauma, depression, abandonment issues so sympathetically that it left me at awe. It was a short illustrated book, yet it managed to make me feel so much! The mental health representation was one of the best I have ever come across to.
The characters were wonderful. Minato is my darling. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Minato. He has quickly secured his place as one of mpst favourite characters. He was so fierce, endearingly rude and savage. It's hard for me to describe Minato's gorgeous personality. You have to read this series for that (Just Go already and read it). However one thing I really want a say, Minato is like a pretty male version of me.
I loved Minato and Shimuza as the main couple. Their chemistry was sizzling hot. But they also had a good understanding in between them. The side couple was cute too. Overall, "Therapy Game" is an amazing Yaoi Manga series to read. It's definitely worth your time. Highly recommended....

I liked Minato and Shizuma story a lot. It's fun, it has its trauma dose (not too much, mind you), the characters are more complex and have more depth than in Secret XXX(which was to expect being that other one only a volume) and the art is gorgeous. I'm looking forward to give a try to Therapy Game Restart, Vol. 1.

This continues where the previous one left off. It provides further context for Minato's personality type and trauma. Even yet, I wasn't entirely persuaded by the traumas' causes. I thought the characters were endearing and humorous. Although I wasn't very interested in the sex, it's not overly annoying, but I do think they could have cut it down to make room for more poignant scenes.

I absolutely love these two. Not only are they hot as hell, but they're hilarious. Minato is such a little psychopath sometimes. I'm addicted.

went to check the manga for shits and giggles, ended up slurping the whole thing up and the sequel and the spin off..... the story is pretty cliche but the art THE ART..... GORGEOUS...
also minato is everything to me
also minato is everything to me

You know how sometimes there are these trashy TV shows or book series that you cannot help but devour and love?
This is one of them for me. I absolutely INHALE anything to do with this series and their characters. You get:
✔ personal trauma and consequent drama
✔ ✨spice✨ (a lot of explicit spice, I'm serious)
✔ downright nauseating but sweet, wholesome romance
That being said, the relationsip between Shizuma and Minato is constantly evolving towards being increasingly healthy and mature through reconciling between each others' differences and growing as individuals. I am soooo happy there are more volumes following their journey!

Aufmachung
Der Zeichenstil ist einfach ein Traum. Es gibt viele Details und die Charaktere sind toll. Aber auch der Erzählstil gefällt mir sehr gut. Man erfährt in einem band Recht viel und lernt die Protagonisten schnell einzuschätzen.
Protagonisten
Minato ist nach außen hin ein kühler Typ. Generell lässt er nicht gern Menschen an sich heran. Abgesehen von seinem kleinen Bruder.
Shizuma wurde verlassen und liegt allen mit seinem Liebeskummer in den Ohren. Wenn er sich sturzbetrunken nicht selbst vergisst, ist er ein rationaler, liebevoller und verantwortungsbewusster Typ.
Fazit
Schön. Schön. Schön. Was anderes kann ich echt nicht sagen. Absolute Wohlfühlstory, vollgepackt mir Emotionen, Backgroundgeschichte und liebenswerten Charakteren. Es gibt eine Briese Drama, aber nicht so viel, dass es nervt. Ich frage mich wirklich, warum ich mich so lange gewehrt habe sie zu lesen. Nur die ganze guten Zureden und Rezensionen haben mich schließlich dazu gebraucht und ich kann nur sagen: Gott sei Dank!

*Original Review 12/10/2020*
The ending was really cuteeee. I liked the conversations they had about their insecurities and stuff And we do get a more in depth explanation of Minato's past, which also means we get a little bit about Itsuki too.
*Reread 2/15/2022*
I really like the way this was written. It did have a little bit of a bad stereotype for bi people, but they talked it out. It just sucks that the cheating thing or leaving your same sex partner for a straight relationship seems to be such a trope in any media when it comes to bis.
Their time in the fort was so precious. Also I loved that Shohei and Minato had a little brothers in law bonding moment. That was sweet. This series has two really cute and precious couples and I'm excited to see more of them in Restart.
*Reread 5/18/2025*
I really like Meguru Hinohara's art style a lot. It's so pleasing to look at and the eyes are so expressive. I think I gain a new appreciation for this series every time I read it.

UGH MY HEART ❤️🔥
Character- 9/10
UGH do not get me started on Minato and Shizuma, because trust me I could rant about them all day long...and maybe then some. I loved how Shizuma who is "new" to the queer world seems to be taking it in stride. He understands the complications and the prejudice behaviors but he stands up to it. I think the biggest growth in characters, however, came from Minato. Minato definitely was the most changed character and in a way it made sense...I mean he is seen as the "bad boy". I loved seeing him grow to understand that love is not the one in the wrong. It's the person that uses love to the cruel extent that is. So watching both Shizuma and Minato grow into themselves, it was just so wonderful!
Atmosphere- 9/10
Getting to delve more into Minato's past also meant delving into his home town and it's so interesting how one can see a town as beautiful and another can see it as a nightmare. And the thing is you can see the difference through both words and through the art. I loved it. I felt like I was standing there with the characters looking at this town from two different perspectives.
Writing/Art Style- 9.5/10
Not much changed from my last review Therapy Game, Vol. 1. I think Meguru's art is absolutely stunning. It is truly beautiful. I could honestly look at her manga's all day and be content. Lol so please give me more Minato and Shizuma!
Plot- 9/10
I was just blown away by the plot in this manga. For such a short manga it packed in a wonderful plot and it wasn't confusing. We finally got the full back story into Mito's and Minota's past and I was just sobbing my eyes out. I mean I would be crazy not to. There were so many twists that I didn't really think about and I saw so many connections to her first manga Secret XXX. It was just so enjoyable.
Intrigue- 9/10
I think the one thing that I loved was that I was hooked right away. Silly things like misunderstandings always get at my heart and I am just like why, why you do things like this characters! And of course the schemers are always to blame (I am looking at you Mito, I am looking at you.)
Logic- 9/10
The progression of the storyline was so perfect and I can't say much more to that because I just loved it!
Enjoyment- 10/10
I mean are you serious! I loved this manga so so so so so much. I honestly could reread it right now. I loved the storyline, I loved seeing into Izsuki and Minato's past even more. I just absolutely loved everything. And every time Minato and Shizuma did something totally cute, I just collapsed and then squealed and then got weird looks from my significant other. Am I okay! NO I JUST WANT MORE. I wish there was a cute manga novella of just these two being so fricken adorable.
I definitely see a reread in my future!

Prickly Minato has to learn to trust his boyfriend won't hurt him or leave him for a woman. Yes, there's a fair amount of bi-phobia, but honestly, given his family's past, I think Minato would have been insecure anyway.
The couple do communicate and learn to do that better as time goes on, both coming into the relationship with baggage. Still, they are sweet together

Volume 2 continues right where vol 1 left off. We get more insight into Minato’s childhood trauma and resulting insecurities in this one. It was done really well in my opinion, you really get to dive deep into his character and see why he is the way he is, AND we see Shizuma comfort and accept and help him :') I love Shizuma, I need a Shizuma haha. Despite the heavier topics, this has been relatively low angst because conflict is addressed and resolved pretty quickly. There's also punishment sex which is always a plus.

2024 mini review
I would risk life and limb for these two 😭 This volume continued to be one of the best in this series. I just love how the conflicts these two have in their relationship is always realistic. It hurts in the best, and comforts in the best way. I regret nothing 💖
2022 review
I fucking loved this as much if not more than the first volume. I just love Minato and Shizuma so much 😭💖
I’m not gonna lie tho for a second there I was fearing for my life. As someone who is bisexual, I’m touchy as fuck when I start sniffing biphobia. In this volume, Minato is dealing with feelings of jealousy as he’s never seriously dated, and there’s the added layer that he’s dating a bisexual man. He knows he shouldn’t be worried because Shizuma is an angel *cough* I mean a wonderful man, but the worry is still there. Minato also has some toxic ass “friends” that feed into his insecurity, and so he spirals for a bit worrying Shizuma might eventually leave him to be with a woman because it would make his life “easier.” However, the narrative makes it very clear that it is on Shizuma’s side and that Minato doesn’t really have to worry. Shizuma is fully committed to Minato. We love to see it. Even if it was still painful to read the biphobic comments of Minato’s asshole “friends.”
On to more pleasant things! The smut in here was 🔥🔥🔥 It was sooooo fucking good. I loved every second of it. The mangaka finally fed me and fed me well 🙏🏼 I’m so blessed by it. I just love how much intimacy there is between these two, and how Shizuma loves to spoil the shit out of Minato and shower him in compliments.
I also appreciated the balance of seriousness with lighthearted moments. In this volume we learned the truly tragic backstory of Minato and why he has such serious trust issues, and you couldn’t help but feel for him. He went though some truly shitty things. I just wanted to give him a huge hug 😭💖
All in all, I love these two clowns and how they’re both eventually willing to put things on the line for each other. I literally just rushed to Barnes & Noble so I could get Therapy Game: Restart just so that I can continue drowning in these two 💖

Therapy Game, Vol.1 ended with a banger of a cliffhanger, and the sequel delivered splendidly.
I adore Shizuma and Minato, and watching their love develop despite a rocky start, was heartwarming. The freshly bonded duo still has a lot of work to put into their relationship, and they keep the readers hooked with their sassy conversations, their little bouts of silliness when jealousy raises its green head, their willingness to set aside their fears and insecurities, their maturity in handling the probability of a shared future, and just the right splashes of humour courtesy their interactions with the supporting cast.
The artwork continues to be elegantly sharp and stunning. The shmexy scenes are explosive yet tender enough to reflect a union beyond mere lust.
Haughty, scratchy, high-maintenance bad boy Minato is a scarred fluff-ball who deserves a lot of love and affection. This is willingly provided by the gentle, understanding, but firm Shizuma. Their contrasting personalities meld effortlessly, and Minato and Shizuma continue to be one of my favourite BL couples.

Auch der zweite Teil der „Therapy Game“ Dilogie konnte mich sehr gut unterhalten. Ich bin mit dem Verlauf der Geschichte sehr zufrieden und habe Minato & Shizuma noch ein bisschen mehr ins Herz geschlossen. Das Buch schreit förmlich „Grumpy & Sunshine“ und ich bin sehr gespannt, wie sich die Beziehung zwischen den beiden in der vierteiligen Spin-Off Reihe entwickeln wird. An den Illustrationen kann ich mich gar nicht sattsehen, sodass ich immer wieder zwischen den Seiten hin- und herspringe, um mir einzelne Szenen noch ein zweites und drittes Mal anzusehen. Hier stimmt einfach das Gesamtpaket und die Bücher könnten durchaus zu einem Liebling in Sachen Manga werden.

Dohra jedničky super. Ten follow-up příběh už za mě zase tolik být nemusel. :D

Meraviglioso 😍 ♥️
Awww! Posso passare tutto il tempo a scrivere "Awww" come una fangirl? XD lo chiedo perchè l'unica cosa che mi viene in mente per descrivere la magia di questo volumetto è proprio un bel AWWW, perfetto per sottolineare la dolcezza e soddisfazione che mi sono rimaste addosso a fine lettura! Sono completamente piena di amore e devozione nei confronti di questo manga! Secret XXX, il prequel di questa serie, è stata una scoperta e una sorpresa che sicuramente non mi aspettavo e questa nuova duologia... si è rivelata ancora più immensa e meravigliosa. Senza alcuna fatica è riuscita a superare in bellezza pure quel prequel che ritenevo privo di difetti. Mi sembra ancora impossibile questa cosa... che un'opera possa colpire così tanto una persona, far provare così tante emozioni tutte in una volta sola. Sono estasiata e dovrò fare non poca fatica per mettere su carta il mio amore senza apparire come una psicopatica. Il volumetto inizia dove si era interrotto nello scorso capitolo. Ritroviamo un Minato in crisi, distrutto dal dolore per quella perdita così inaspettata. Shizuma lo ha lasciato e le sue parole ancora gli rimbombano nella testa. Lui non ha esitato a fare una scommessa contro Shizuma, credeva di poter controllare tutto come suo solito, di poter giocare con l'amore come fosse carta e invece... Volente o nolente si è ritrovato prigioniero di quel sentimento, intrappolato in una rete poteva donargli gioia e ristoro ma che ora... lo soffoca e rende dipendente. La sua intera felicità, il suo mondo dipende da quel giovane che gli ha strappato il cuore. Minato si è innamorato di Shizuma e soffre al pensiero di perdere per sempre un'altra persona a lui cara. Per troppi anni ha chiuso il suo cuore. Dopo la morte della madre si è convinto che l'amore potesse essere solo una prigione, voleva evitare di "corrompere" il prossimo proprio la madre aveva fatto con suo padre, ha sempre avuto il terrore di trasformarsi nella donna che gli ha rovinato l'infanzia. Si è sempre accontentato della solitudine, si è sempre sentito in pace al pensiero di avere come unico appoggio il fratello ma Shizuma... ha rivoltato completamente ogni carta in suo possesso. Minato per la prima volta si ritrova a dover lottare per ciò che desidera, per ciò che ama e lo farà nel migliore dei modi possibili e allo stesso modo lo farà Shizuma. Nel precedente capito ho donato amore quasi esclusivamente a Minato lasciando il tenero studente un po' in disparte, l'ho un po' sottovalutato ma qui.... Che MAGIA! Questo manga riesce a spezzare qualsiasi clichè! Siamo abituati a manga in cui le coppie litigano inutilmente, in cui si va avanti a pianti e litigi, in cui per capitoli dobbiamo sopportare coppie incapaci di parlarsi civilmente ma qui... ci troviamo di fronte due persone desiderose di crescere e cambiare, due persone abbastanza mature da ascoltare il canto del cuore, in grado di mettere da parte l'orgoglio per fare la cosa giusta. Shizuma è un ragazzo estremamente maturo, nonostante in passato sia stato ingenuo e si sia lasciato un pochettino sfruttare dagli amici e dalla sua ex è anche un uomo in grado di cambiare e imparare dagli errori del passato. Lo studente non si limita a puntare il dito contro Minato, non fa quello che ci si aspetterebbe, non fa la vittima ma anzi... Decide di mettersi nei panni dell'uomo che ama per capire come recuperare quella storia, come farsi conoscere dal suo compagno, come aiutarlo a guadagnare fiducia in se stesso. Shizuma non innalza un muro contro Minato, non lo fa mai sentire in colpa anzi... Si rende conto che quello che è successo è un po' colpa di entrambi, prende quella scommessa anche come una sua colpa, si rende conto di essere stato il primo a ferire Minato, a mancargli di rispetto (anche se senza cattiveria) e proprio per questo decide di passare sopra alcuni errori. Decide di perdonare e perdonarsi. Decide di spezzare quei muri per vivere appieno l'amore. Mi sono commossa a vedere la sua maturità, la sua capacità di spingere Minato a combattere contro le sue paure. Shizuma capisce il dramma del compagno, sente che il suo comportamento non è dettato da egoismo e cattiveria ma da una condizione che ancora lo perseguita, da dei traumi che ancora condizionano la sua vita è proprio per questo decide di aiutarlo e supportarlo, di mettersi a volte in secondo piano per permettergli di prendere il controllo della sua esistenza. Gli dona il suo amore dandogli l'affetto che merita, gli dona il tempo di curare le sue ferite e lo porta finalmente... A vivere una vita degna di questo nome. Minato è un personaggio molto complesso, un ragazzo che ha dei traumi che ancora sono da elaborare e la relazione con Shizuma sicuramente nel corso della serie si evolverà ancora di più. Therapy Game ha infatti un sequel vero e proprio che spero prima o poi di poter leggere (e amare) e sono sicura che molte cose verranno approfondite ulteriormente. Ho amato i protagonisti e il loro legame, il loro modo di venirsi incontro, di supportarsi e compensare le mancanze del partner. Shizuma non è perfetto, ha anche lui delle debolezze e Minato riesce a donargli sicurezza e forza, gli mostra come essere meno insicuro, come non cadere troppo vittima degli altri e Shizuma beh... Insegna a Minato ad amare se stesso e la vita. Due personaggi straordinari che interagiscono in modo ADORABILE! La loro storia è pura e sincera e seppur nata un po' per scommessa e un po' per caso riesce a trasmettere tutto l'amore e la dolcezza che la caratterizzano. Non mancano momenti spensierati, dolci, buffi ed erotici così come non ne mancano altri decisamente più cupi e dolorosi. La storia di Itsuki e Minato è drammatica. Fin da bambini hanno dovuto combattere con il trauma per la morte dei genitori, con le chiacchiere e le malelingue di paese, sono cresciuti porteggendosi a vicenda e lottando contro il mondo e in questi preziosi volumetti imparano a vivere. Questi manga non possono che farti apprezzare il modo in cui i fratelli sono riusciti a vincere il dolore e l'odio risorgendo dalle ceneri come meravigliose fenici e trovando sul loro cammino due uomini onesti e sinceri, disposti ad amarli e rispettarli come meritano. Ovviamente oltre ai protagonisti non mancano i personaggi secondari. Ritornano l'enigmatico Itsuki e il suo compagno Shohei. Itsuki si rivela un fratello speciale, dando preziosi consigli non solo al fratellino ma anche al compagno di quest'ultimo e beh... Shohei rimane un coniglietto adorabile. Se penso che lui e Minato a inizio serie quasi non si sopportavano... mi viene un po' da ridere XD Vedere il mio prezioso bimbo dare dei consigli al "cognato" spingendolo a fare la cosa giusta e lottare per la sua love story con Shizuma... Mi ha riempito il cuore d'orgoglio! Ho adorato i momenti da "fratello maggiore" presenti nel volume così come ho amato il rapporto di amicizia e rispetto tra Minato, Shizuma e i loro pazzi "partner in crime". I due hanno infatti degli amici preziosi e affiatati, super incasinati e disposti a tutto pur di dar loro una mano. Abbiamo già avuto modo di conoscere il pazzo mondo del Mix Bar, una sorta di famiglia per i due fratelli orfani. La proprietaria del Bar è come una madre per i ragazzi e tutti i camerieri e lavoratori sono come dei fratelli e delle sorelle, si amano e si supportano a vicenda e spesso... Rischiano di creare caos XD sono simpaticissimi tanto che mi spingono a desiderare di poter trovare un posto simile (senza dover invece finire nei soliti bar della mia zona -.- luoghi omofobi, razzisti e fastidiosissimi!) Degli amici insomma irresistibili e che mi hanno strappato non poche risate ma mai... Quanto quelli di Shizuma! Lo studente ha a che fare con pazzi scalmanati, dei ragazzi che sembrano causare solo guai ma che ci tengono davvero al loro amico. In particolare mi ha fatto una tenerezza infinita Yuka. Sicuramente l'avevo un po' odiata per aver spezzato il cuore del mio adorato "figlioletto" ma vederla super carica e quasi disposta a "spezzare in due" Minato mi ha fatto una tenerezza infinita. La ragazza sicuramente si è comportata male in passato ma è anche una buona amica in grado di farsi perdonare per gli errori commessi, è una ragazza gentile e buona spalla, un'amica preziosa disposta ad ascoltare i problemi degli altri. Insomma... Potrei passare altre 1000 ore a descrivere tutto il mio amore per questo manga ma meglio evitare. Vi basti sapere che TUTTO è perfetto. I disegni, i personaggi, lo stile, la storia, l'introspezione, il rapporto di coppia, i messaggi positivi, l'amicizia.... TUTTO! Tutto è perfetto e non ho trovato alcun difetto. Ovvio... L'unico difetto è che è troppo breve.... sono così innamorata delle coppiette protagoniste della storia da desiderare 100000 capitoli in più ma... Mi accontento... Per ora. Se cercate un manga delicato, in grado di farvi commuovere e sorridere questo fa al caso vostro. Anche in questo caso vi devo avvertire della presenza di alcuni trigger. Si parla di violenza domestica, abusi sui minori e suicidio quindi... Anche se sono solo presenti in una piccolissima parte della storia (legati al passato di Itsuki e Minato). .. Vi conviene stare attenti. Non sono estremamente grafici ma possono turbare un pubblico sensibile quindi alle solite se certi temi vi turbano evitate di sforzarti troppo in caso contrario preparatevi a immergervi in un'avventura mozzafiato e strepitosa. Una duologia che vi consiglio caldamente ma solo... Dopo aver letto il volumetto prequel "Secret XXX".
Un manga stupendo che entra di prepotenza nella mia Top dei manga preferiti!
Awww! Posso passare tutto il tempo a scrivere "Awww" come una fangirl? XD lo chiedo perchè l'unica cosa che mi viene in mente per descrivere la magia di questo volumetto è proprio un bel AWWW, perfetto per sottolineare la dolcezza e soddisfazione che mi sono rimaste addosso a fine lettura! Sono completamente piena di amore e devozione nei confronti di questo manga! Secret XXX, il prequel di questa serie, è stata una scoperta e una sorpresa che sicuramente non mi aspettavo e questa nuova duologia... si è rivelata ancora più immensa e meravigliosa. Senza alcuna fatica è riuscita a superare in bellezza pure quel prequel che ritenevo privo di difetti. Mi sembra ancora impossibile questa cosa... che un'opera possa colpire così tanto una persona, far provare così tante emozioni tutte in una volta sola. Sono estasiata e dovrò fare non poca fatica per mettere su carta il mio amore senza apparire come una psicopatica. Il volumetto inizia dove si era interrotto nello scorso capitolo. Ritroviamo un Minato in crisi, distrutto dal dolore per quella perdita così inaspettata. Shizuma lo ha lasciato e le sue parole ancora gli rimbombano nella testa. Lui non ha esitato a fare una scommessa contro Shizuma, credeva di poter controllare tutto come suo solito, di poter giocare con l'amore come fosse carta e invece...

2022:
I cannot say how much I love this series. In some regards, Minato reminds me so much of myself... it's sometimes a bit scary.
I'm so glad that we got the spin-off, too, in Germany.
2020:
It's already been a while since I read it but I really like this two-volume series*. It's not *perfect* but it really is one of the best stories on the German BL market at the moment. After the cliff-hanger of the first volume is taken care of and Minato and Shizuma are back together, this volume sheds light on Minato’s past and explains why he is so hesitant to form stronger bonds with people and dismissive when it comes to relationships. It's clear that he longs for a loving relationship and he loves Shizuma, but he's afraid to hurt him and to get hurt himself. Shizuma is a good counterpart to him. He is an open, honest, and understanding person who is able to convince Minato through words and actions that he is loved, even when he makes mistakes.
What’s great about this story is that their relationship doesn’t “cure” Minato, he still struggles with his fears and there are problems they have to overcome.
It often happens that female representation is pretty non-existent in BL and while that’s not ideal, I can live with it. This manga does have women in it, but two out of three are not presented in a good light, to put it lightly. And the third one is only a *very* minor character here.
Content warning for both volumes (may be incomplete)
* There is a story by the name of “Therapy Game Restart” by Hinohara but I didn’t look further into it.
** So, I had to edit my review a bit, to clear something up and avoid more misunderstandings and hurt, hopefully. I stated that I was mad at what happened with Minato's friends and it got misinterpreted because of how I worded it. Hopefully, I'll do a better job now:
I was mad because of what the friends did because your friends shouldn’t do that kind of thing to you, ideally. Not in real life, not in a story. But of course, I am aware that it happens in real life, and that seeing it accurately represented in a story means a lot. I think the situation is portrayed realistically and that it's important that such aspects are addressed in Manga and other media. Did I like that it happened? No, because it hurt Minato and his friends could see that he was already hurting and insecure. Did it dampen my joy over the story when I came about this scene? Yes. But I was also grateful for how the scene was handled and pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t left unresolved.
I apologise for my choice of words.

Je remercie les Éditions Taifu comics pour cette lecture. Après avoir eu un coup de cœur pour le premier tome, j’étais impatiente de voir ce que ce deuxième et dernier manga de la saga allait donner. D’autant plus, quand on sait comment s’est terminé le premier.
Minato a enfin accepté les sentiments qu’il a pour Shizuma. Le souci, c’est que ce dernier, apprend pour le pari. En plus de tout ça, quand il va chez Minato pour avoir des explications, il tombe sur le frère de ce dernier, sans savoir qui il est. Ce qui amène à un quiproquo.
Depuis Shizuma est aux abonnés absents. Personne ne sait où il se trouve, où il est. Minato a beau le contacter, il ne répond à aucun de ses appels.
Ce deuxième tome conclu bien l’histoire entre les deux personnages. J’ai vraiment été très touché par le personnage de Minato. Ici, on découvre un peu plus son passé, son enfance. On finit par comprendre les raisons de ses différentes peur. Surtout celle de l’attachement.
En plus, une petite surprise nous attend dans ce tome. Entre amour et humour, plus personnages touchants, ce yaoi a de quoi nous donner beaucoup d’émotions !
En bref, c’est un deuxième et dernier tome vraiment touchant. J’aime vraiment le travail de Meguru Hinohara et j’ai très hâte de voir ce qu’elle nous proposera à l’avenir.
