Again! Art, 100% Swoon-worthy, Story 100% I didn't want it to end, but here I am now. Reviewing it. I am going to miss those two adorb boys!
But, anyways, this is so freaking good, I feel like crying again!!
My eyes burned when I saw Mashiro cried saying, "don't bother us." I felt his pain. He's always been alone. Gosh, I was crying when he didn't want to go home yet. He wanted to treasure that time in the cafe with Kanade. Because it felt like a new world to him. A world where he cannot feel pain, only happiness. Like, with Kanade around, he just forgets about all his burdens in life. I feel blue for Mashiro. Sad. It's just that, after his father died, he felt like his mother drained out all of the life within him. That's why he doesn't want her to go her way and do it again this time. Not when he finally caught Kanade in his arms. This is so good, I feel like crying again. I'm just so happy that they are finally together and nothing can hinder that anymore. That connection, ah, my eyes, when they were fight about small things like renting an apartment near a ramen shop, and then laughing the next second. I adore their relationship. I long for that kind of comfort and too.
I wish I can say I'm still hoping for another volume, but I think Shouko wrapped it up nicely. Everafter's just going to be in my imagination now tho. Although, I felt the need to witness how Mashiro and her mom will fix that gap between them. It isn't too late, and I understand Mashiro's mom too. She lost the love of her life. That's why she lost her mind too. I hope, she can finally learn how to accept life, which I know she will. I'd be cheering for her when that happens. But, I'm most happy that Mashiro realized how lucky he is that Kanade is right there, cherishing him. Because he's already been at the bottom half his life. They are just going to keep rising above now, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Man, here comes the waterworks again!

Review for complete series/volume 1-2
Noting that this was originally published in Japan as a two volume series but has since had a few sequels which are being published in English as volumes 3 and beyond. This review is for the original two volumes which works perfectly well as a conclusive story and can thus be read alone.
This was by and large a cute and largely fluffy romance while still taking on some heavier topics. When the story first started, I felt the romance was incredibly rushed and based too much on coincidence. However, as the plot moves forward, we have various flashbacks to the past and gradually see the characters' motives which in turn gives a more logic explanation on how things unfolded and makes me romance look a lot less rushed. I generally liked how these flashbacks were incorporated and it gave the story a good flow.
There is a point where one of the main character Kanade is pressured by a colleague to explain himself. Essentially Kanade has rejected the advances of a female colleague and later another colleague intervenes saying Kanade owes her a proper explanation as to why he rejected her. It's essentially made to look as though Kanade owes an explanation to his colleagues around his sexuality to make the rejected girl feel better about it. I don't believe anyone owes anyone explanations if they reject someone else's advances - no is no - you don't have to explain your sexuality or whatever other reason you may have to reject them.
That scene aside, I enjoyed this short little series and some of the themes it touched on like complicated family relations. While the art didn't stand out to me as anything particular, it is still a nice and clean style.

this was so much better than the first volume. it had such a good balance of lightheartedness and reality. i found myself tearing up for mashiro and the relationship he has with his mom. i’m glad he found his way back to kanade and that kanade has more confidence!!!

Loved this one. There's still a slight amount of BL unrealism, with the two of them being so awkward and blushy around each other whenever things get more physical, but it's also really cute. And I love how much they truly become partners in this volume - each of them able to start fully relying on the other and letting go of their secrets and insecurities.
Kanade gains another work friend who knows about his sexuality - a guy this time, who turns out at the end to be dating the girl who'd started out with the big crush on him - and the cafe staff finally clue in on his and Mashiro's relationship. So they're building out a nice little support system.
The big drama in this volume is, as I'd expected, Mashiro's mother, who shows up for a surprise visit and announces it's time for her to move back in with him.
I feel like this would be a really tough read for anyone with toxic parents. It's written realistically, showing his mother's manipulative, stifling, controlling nature, but without actually making her into a villain. In some ways, she can't really help who she is, and while being around her too much makes Mashiro miserable, he also genuinely loves her. (And that's why things like her threats of jumping off a bridge when he's not nice enough to her are so insidious and effective.)
I had to flip back through the end of Volume 1 to remind myself that while readers learned all of Mashiro's rough backstory, he hadn't actually told Kanade everything about his mother, or why he was so isolated back in their school days. (Loved the flashback chapter in this one, with Mashiro and Kanade having an amazing time together at a Starbucks. They've always had so much fun together, no matter what they're doing.)
So experiencing her mood swings and guilt trips firsthand - while seeing Mashiro reacting so emotionally to her - really sent Kanade reeling. At first, he seemed to be shocked and dismayed by Mashiro being so disrespectful to his mother, but as soon as he saw that Mashiro was literally upset to the point of tears, he stepped up and got Mashiro alone (over his mother's protests) to find out what was going on.
I love the duality in Kanade's personality. He seems like the "weaker" one - emotional and insecure and inexperienced and all that - but when push comes to shove, he's the strong one who takes charge and keeps Mashiro afloat. Once he gets a handle on the situation, he immediately sets up firm boundaries, stops Mashiro from snapping and doing/saying anything he'll regret, and - even with his hands shaking from the stress of the situation - hands over money and information about a train ticket to send Mashiro's mother back home.
He is absolutely everything Mashiro needs and hasn't really believed he deserves.
The thing is, I can kind of see what Mashiro was so anxious about in Volume 1, with his big fear of becoming too much like his mother. That's something anyone with toxic or unstable family members has to deal with: the fear that it's in your blood, too, that you might turn out like them one day. And his mother had truly loved and fully relied on his father, which was why losing him had been so devastating, and had made her go so far off the rails and start clinging to him instead. So if he gets too attached to Kanade, won't he go down the same path? He loves him too much...he needs him too much. In his experience, that doesn't turn out to be healthy.
The difference, I think, is the level of communication Mashiro's building with Kanade. There's a wonderful scene where Kanade tells him that he loves him for his weaknesses, too - he doesn't have to be strong all the time in order to prove his value. It's okay - it's necessary, actually - for partners to lean on each other. So as long as they keep talking about things and sharing when they need that support, they'll be okay.
This volume seems like it was intended to be the conclusion, but I'm very pleased that there's a third volume with them actually moving in together (instead of just talking about it), and finally introducing Kanade's family! All my favorite tropes, handled in a thoughtful and nuanced way. This is turning out to be a more special series than I'd expected.

I'm punching the air. They're so freaking cute!!!
I love author's notes that give more insight about the manga publishing world. It seems like she had to tone down her sex scene and make it fade to black so she could have more liberties with the story telling.
This was great. It started out similarly to the first one where it was more silly, but then it got down to the deep stuff. Their fears and insecurities and the way Kanade overthinks are portrayed so realistically. It made me cry. I just felt so sad for them. I love the way they take care of each other. And when Kanade said, "I'm not just here for the strong parts of you. The weak ones are just as precious to me. So let me take care them." I can't handle it!! I'm crying again lmfao. This was so beautiful. I'm not sure what the third one will have, but the author seems really passionate about her characters and said she wanted to do more so I'm glad she got the opportunity and I will be picking it up when it comes out in English.

I loved it!
Qué buena segunda parte. Aquí seguimos el desarrollo de la relación entre Kanade y Mashiro, vemos como Kanade gana confianza y como Mashiro enfrenta sus problemas familiares.
Este tomo me sacó varias risas y también está lleno de momentos muy cute en donde Kanade demuestra su cariño y apoyo a Mashiro. También me gustó que ahondara un poco más en el problema de las relaciones tóxicas y lo que pueden causar, aún más si es un familiar quien te causa daño y no sabes cómo ponerle un alto.
Por lo demás, me gustó ver a los personajes secundarios y como todos ellos siguen la relación de estos dos.
Por ahora, supongo que estaré leyendo el tercer tomo y esperaré a que el cuarto salga, es una historia cute que quiero seguir leyendo.

Kanade and Mashiro get put to the test between work scenarios that could go very wrong and Mashiro's own mother showing up out of the blue at his apartment and insisting they'll go back to living together in Tokyo. Despite his mother's claims of acceptance, it's clear she has her own expectations of how Mashiro's life should go and it all focuses around her wants, leaving little to no room for Kanade, let alone for Mashiro himself. There's a significant growth in their relationship as a result of these challenges as they learn to communicate what they want and start deciding on things together. Turns out what seems fun and leaves them yearning for more might be something worth fighting for.

La cosa es posa interessant i accelera a un ritme frenètic... per recuperar el temps perdut? ^^
Una història molt cuqui i versemblant alhora de dos antics companys d'institut que amaguen situacions familiars complicades, por al rebuig i homofòbia interioritzada, però quan es retroben anys més tard decideixen apostar-ho tot en l'amor ♥ M'encanta que el ritme sigui lent en aquest cas, perquè realment pots copsar les barreres mentals que tenen a l'hora d'iniciar una relació amorosa (per tots els anys d'amistat i pel fet d'haver de sortir de l'armari). Una gran lectura! :3

This was such a sweet but realistic volume, and seemed like a nice step up story wise in comparison to volume 1. Mashiro’s confrontation with his mother was sad, but seemed like something that had needed to happen for a long time, and Kanade being the one to stick up for his man was a nice touch since he can be so timid at times.

CW: emotional abuse by a parent
Poor Mashiro really has been through a lot, and seeing that Kanade is willing to stand up for him is incredibly important. Also, many bonus points to the sex scene for making intimacy look more important than physical pleasure. Both are important, obviously, but the way the emotional component is handled is remarkably well done.

Author has talent, but could use some more experience
I like the story and the artwork is pretty good. The main beef I have with it is that I couldn’t always tell who was talking. That is my number one pet peeve with manga. Star deducted.

3,5 Sterne: Süß, aber die Protagonisten, Kanade und Mashiro, kommunizieren mir zu wenig miteinander bzw. nicht tiefgründig genug. Mashiro lässt nicht wirklich seine wahren Gefühle zu, insbesondere nicht in Bezug auf seine Familie.

I feel like some things should've been dealt more seriously, like the relationship and resentment(?) Mashiro has towards his mother.
I wish it was longer so everything would make more sense.
