I really don't know why the artstyle is so wacky in the first few chapters but if you just get through the first 5-6 then it really changes for the better! Embracing love, especially if we take into consideration that it was written and illustrated back in 1999-2009, is a very well-written story, not perfect but very enjoyable! The main characters (Iwaki and Katou) really draw you in with their personalities and you just can't put the story down. Of course, you'll have to keep in mind that this is a yaoi so many explicit scenes are included.

Bufff m'he de dosificar aquesta sèrie perquè se'm fa pesada... seguim amb el rodatge + mostres d'amor moníssimes + algun entrebanc que han de superar amb molta intensitat (gelosia o límit entre la vida laboral i personal). Per afegir més dosis de drama, hi ha problemes al set: des de falta de finançament, un huracà, accidents i lesions. Crec que pararé de llegir-me'ls durant una temporada perquè no puc més ^^'

A cada tomo quiero más a Kato e Iwaki. Seguimos en el arco de la grabación de la película de Cigarra de Invierno y aquí los muchachos siguen con sus peripecias tanto profesionales como de pareja. Su amor no deja de crecer y de consolidarse.

Le riprese del film procedono anche se ci sono intoppi nella produzione che mettono a dura prova anche il rapporto tra Iwaki e Katou oltre che il mood del set. Anche l'amicizia con Yoshizumi, il loro collega, metterà qualche dubbio e un filo di gelosia tra i due attori, anche se non c'è nulla da temere e anzi queste situazioni rendono la loro relazione più solida che mai. Però una scena che prevede un incendio avrà conseguenze inaspettate per tutti... Insomma un bel volume che trasmette molta positività, inoltre mi piace molto il capitolo extra davvero dolce e divertente che mostra lati più quotidiani dei protagonisti che non si incastrano nella storia principale e con il ritmo che sta avendo.

Repeated review.

Okay, back in the day, I loved this series. Why? Because gay. That’s literally the only reason I loved it, alongside a lot of other yaoi manga. But then, I got older, smarter, and learned some fucked up shit about life, and then, I returned to most of the yaoi manga I once read. And absolutely hated a lot of them.

All of them, that I ended up hating later in life, involved incest, toxic relationships, rape, borderline rape, slavery, underage, and cringe. You decide which of those fits best with this series.
