Oh, my heavy heart! This is so good!! Chef's kiss 🤌 And Kanae's hair—NO, HIS WHOLE CHARACTER CONCEPT. It's just perfection! I love everything in this series! The angst is so delicious that I'd literally ready to die out here with a full smile on my face.

Rời vùng nông thôn và bắt đầu cuộc sống nơi đại học, khi cậu sinh viên năm nhất, Haiga bắt đầu tham gia CLB nhạc thì cậu ấy đã đem lòng ngưỡng mộ bởi đàn anh năm tư - Kanae, một tay chơi guitar rất cừ và có vẻ ngoài cuốn hút.

Mọi chuyện thay đổi khi Haiga bị đàn anh thử thách vào một cửa hàng trên con phố đèn đỏ, nơi cậu vô tình trở thành khách hàng của Kanae trong một cửa tiệm massage. Từ đầy mối quan hệ của cả hai, thắc mắc giữa tình yêu và sự ngưỡng mộ của Haiga dành cho Kanae càng phức tạp.

Sau một thời gian đắng đo thì mình cũng quyết định đọc quyển manga này, và nó khiến mình khá bất ngờ. Tác giả Shikke biết cách khiến cho nhân vật mình trở nên đặc biệt, mình thấy hầu như ai cũng thích vẻ ngoài cool ngầu của Kanae; nhưng mình thì lại thích cậu chàng Haiga hơn.

Từ đầu Haiga được khắc họa giống như mấy cậu trai mới lớn ngây thơ, dễ dụ; ấy thế càng về sau Haiga càng thể hiển rõ những điểm mạnh của cậu chàng - nó khiến mình càng mê Haiga hơn :3 cái mặt được vẽ cute khiếp!!!


Còn với chuyện tình của Haiga và Kanae thì sao? Mình chỉ cảm thấy không thích lắm, ngoài 3 chap đầu nói về công việc, quan điểm về tình yêu, tình dục giữa cả hai chưa có gì để mình thấy ấn tượng. Thậm chí việc Haiga ngưỡng mộ Kanae mình thấy cần thêm lý do hơn chỉ là về âm nhạc hay vẻ ngoài ở chap 1. Và sau khi hoàn thành tập đầu, thì mình đang cảm thấy mối quan hệ giữa hai nhân vật chính cũng tương tự như mấy quyển bl khác - ghen các kiểu... hy vọng tập hai có gì đó ấn tượng hơn.

Communication is the key and Haiga set the standards so high. I absolutely adore this manga. Nothing too serious, just pure fluff and *ehem*

First of all a moment of silence for Kanae’s hair🙏🏾 like he needs to praise his hairstylist everyday. I loved this story so much, and waiting for the updates wasn’t in vain and probably made me like it more cause I was never disappointed. Haiga is literally too cute for the world. I can’t believe it’s over, I love how their relationship progressed and how they were both sure of what they wanted before actually committing to each other. No one forced nobody, they were patient with each other and the dynamic of their personalities was too wholesome. The only problem is that I want more

A newly gained favorite of mine.

I started reading this manga due to Kanae’s overall design catching my attention. To keep it short, I was not disappointed in the slightest. The story is extremely well paced and no timeframes are too short, neither is anything dragged out for too long. Despite the many explicit scenes, I’d rather describe this manga as soft and full of feelings. Personally, I fell in love with Kanae’s character, although both Haiga and Kanae are easily likable.

I can’t wait to reread this over and over again.

"You can't decide if you want me to find my happiness or if you want to be the one to provide it for me. Isn't that what it comes down to?"

Primer tomo de esta trilogía manga. En un inicio pensé que iba a ser una historia bastante tóxica y que el interés amoroso iba a aprovecharse del protagonista. Sin embargo, no es así y tiene pinta de ser mucho más profunda de lo que en realidad es.

Creo que va a ser una muy buena historia.

This was a highly anticipated title, and while I wouldn't call it a new favorite yet, I still liked it quite a bit. The art is gorgeous; Kanae especially is beautifully drawn. The story is sweet, and I appreciate that (so far) it doesn't seem like any of sort of trauma led to Kanae doing sex work, and that he truly enjoys it, even if he does want more someday. Haiga is so pure-hearted, and together, he and Kanae make an unlikely couple that still somehow works.

Diesen Manga kann ich nur als ok beschreiben. Hat mich leider bis zum Ende nicht gefangen nehmen können. Dabei ist Kanae wirklich ein interessanter Charakter, aber Haiga ist dafür so wahnsinnig blass. An dem finde ich wirklich gar nichts interessant. Auch stößt es mir sauer auf, dass der Anfang fast ausschließlich in einer Art Soft-Bordell stattfindet, was gar nicht mein Ding ist. Das Setting des Musikclubs hat mich auch ziemlich genervt. Dafür hat das Ganze schon in Band eins eine ganz interessante Charakterentwicklung, weshalb ich den Manga an die Leute weiterempfehlen kann, die keine Probleme mit diesen Settings haben. Ich werde nicht weiterlesen.

"Pink Heart Jam, Vol. 1" by Shikke is an exceptional manga that delves into themes of self-identity and sexuality in a realistic and touching manner. The character development is profound, especially between Haiga and Kanae, whose relationship is both deep and engaging. Shikke's art style is beautiful and expressive, adding a deeper understanding of the characters' emotions. The descriptions of the setting and atmosphere are vivid and captivating. Overall, this is a well-written and beautifully illustrated manga that I highly recommend.

Estuvo tan wholesome🥺✨ Amé el ritmo en que la relación entre Haiga y Kanae progresó, nada apresurado, cada uno paciente con el otro. Además, la autora supo aprovecharlo para plasmar efectivamente sus personalidades y dinámica. Por último, el diseño de Kanae (y su cabello) 💯👌

AAAA I LOOOVED THIS
OKAY so we see Haiga cute ass kinda into Kanae since the start, even if he thought he was a woman he never said anything off so we can have a peak of his sexuality than a bit later we see him questioning about, so he goes to a suspicious spa and casually Haiga was there.
(I love how Haiga works a lot just to see Kanae at the spa just to talk with him and find out what he feels, why wouldn't he ask for his number or invite him out, idk)
COMMUNICATION IS KEY I like how things go fast sometimes but slow, because we see them talk bit by bit and how Kanae that apparently is a shy guy opens up and we get to see what he really wants, the reason of he working there is meaningful to the plot, I usually don't like the books with a lot of sex related things but this was actually nice, it wasn't something that happened just because yes and in a day, they took time to "explore" each other.
The music club (I don't know the name) was so nice, AND THE KISS? I liked that they waited, even if they did "stuff" before this was important and a big step to them.
"No puedo ser alguien que solamente admires para siempre. Si lo dices en serio, entonces necesitas desearme mas o no puedo confiar en ti". (KANAE)

Kanae and Haiga at the end finally discovering what they want is the best part, the book is short but I think it has just enough to show the different perspectives and what is going on.
"Yo quiero que Kanae sea feliz con la persona que elija pero quiero que la persona sea yo, asi que este sentimiento ya no es solo admiracion". (HAIGA)

I saw someone said this was a freaky given and I found it really funny
Probably adding more stuff but need to organize my mind I read the second just before this one so trying to get what stuff happened in this one, and also want to put more things, cuz I really enjoy reading this, I'm still debating if I should give the 5 stars

This is an okay volume. The first three chapters are dull: our two leads are only having sex at the brothel and have no interactions beyond that. They have little chemistry together so I have trouble understanding why Haiga is so head-over-heels for Kanae. The later chapters consist of the two at summer camp with their school club. That's when the story starts getting interesting. The two of them have always been so isolated that seeing them in a different environment in the company of other people is refreshing. To be honest, the story might be more effective if it alternates between scenes at the brothel and at school. It would've been compelling to see Haiga struggle with the cognitive dissonance of seeing his crush at drastically different settings.
