This volume is so much better than the first one. It's so hot, their acting blurring between what's real and what's not. Also, so many ikemen! But I'm still having problems with the speech bubbles!

This was a strong second volume. At first I was a bit annoyed by the interloper plot, but it ended up revealing so much about our leads, both to each other and to themselves.
Hayama and Shirasaki have very different approaches to acting, and they struggle to understand each other's work style. But they put effort into learning each other, and are strengthened by it. This leads to a wonderfully emotional scene that may be the best in this series yet.
The art continues to be gorgeous, especially with how much is communicated in the eyes. These two also have a very active sexual connection, but it's both hot and fun. It's nice to see how mutual their attraction truly is.
I'm really enjoying this series, and am looking forward to more.

BUENÍSIMO, jajajaja literal me dejaron con cara de payasa con una subtrama que pensé iba a terminar de la manera más clásica, pero luego recordé que era Hiroko Natsuno sensei de quien se trataba y quedó *magnífico chef kiss* El arte en este tomo es HERMOSO, las portadillas me dejan en modo loca y la relación de estos dos es de lo más bonito 😭😭😭

Really wasn't sure if I was going to keep going with this series, but the second volume was good!
The pacing is still oddly choppy, with this volume whipping through the entire production of the film follow up to their TV series. Shirasaki is continuing to gain popularity, turning out to most likely be a much better and more natural acting talent than Asami.
It turns out, though, that Asami does truly love acting, which is probably a big part of why Shirasaki's encouragement had made such a big impact on him. He wasn't naturally skilled, but he also wasn't floating by on his good looks, like everyone figured he would/could/should do. He spent hours training himself by watching movies and shows and picking up how other people acted their way through the emotional scenes that...Shirasaki just sort of naturally pours himself into.
It's interesting that Asami actually doesn't have a lot of emotional intelligence; he's not even really familiar with what jealousy feels like, although he can mimic what he sees on screen. Shirasaki is a lot more mature and put together in a lot of ways, which, like newcomer actor Yamase says, gives him a jarringly different personality on and off screen. I love how strong and straightforward Shirasaki is; it's pretty different from how a character like his would normally be portrayed in this type of story, so it's refreshing.
Also refreshing: the really great communication between Shirasaki and Asami. There are a lot of opportunities for drama or misunderstandings or pointless fights between them in this volume, but they're perfectly fine about it all. Shirasaki says "hey why didn't you just tell me you didn't like this decision I made for the both of us," and Asami says, "okay, here are the other things that I've realized have been bugging me." And it's just...good. Open and honest and completely noncombative. Just the two of them learning how to talk to each other.
There's an absolutely fantastic exchange, too:
It's so simple, but somehow just...captures their relationship so perfectly.
I wouldn't say this is the most amazing series - I'd like the pacing and choppiness to be smoothed out some - but I'm enjoying their dynamic a lot and look forward to seeing more of them.

Récit de vie de deux acteurs également en couple en secret, A 25:00 à Akasaka propose un scénario mêlant vraiment habilement leur romance et leur carrière.
Avec ce tome, nous suivons entièrement nos deux héros sur le tournage d'un film qu'ils ont en commun, tandis qu'un troisième larron vient s'ajouter à eux et tente de semer gentiment un peu la zizanie entre eux.
J'ai beaucoup aimé ce nouveau tome, qui aurait pu offrir une nouvelle conclusion à la série. A croise que l'autrice conçoit ses tomes de manière auto-conclusive au cas où la série s'arrête. J'aime assez comme ça on n'est pas trop frustré quand la fin arrive. En tout cas cette nouvelle expérience fut enrichissante. J'ai aimé être sur les plateaux de tournage à leur côté, les voir jouer ensemble, tenter de faire le tri entre ce qui vient d'eux, de leur couple et de l'acteur qui sommeille en eux, pour ne pas que tout s'entrechoque trop et qu'ils perdent le fil du rôle qu'ils jouent.
La présence de Kazuma Yamase à leur côté comme rôle titre était vraiment sympa. J'aime ce genre de personnalité un peu taquine mais grande et classe. Il venait appuyer pile poil où il fallait pour gentiment titiller nos héros et tenter de découvrir ce qu'il en était vraiment de leur relation. Faisant ressortir le côté possessif et jaloux de chacun, il nous a vraiment offert des scènes piquantes pour les lecteurs. C'était mignon tout plein de les voir interagir ainsi en coulisse, la dynamique était chouette.
Après, il y a un peu trop de scène de sexe crue à mon goût. J'ai du mal avec la façon dont une partie de celles-ci sont mises en scène. Leur crudité me dérange car j'ai tendance à me rappeler surtout de la douceur qu'il y a avant et après entre les deux héros et que c'est ce que je cherche ici, donc ça casse un peu tout quand ils partent dans leurs parties de jambes en l'air débridées, mais ça ne tient peut-être qu'à moi.
Mélange de romance secrète, de tournage, de 3e personnage perturbateur et de petites scènes de jalousie, ce deuxième tome m'a fait passé un très bon moment. J'ai apprécié l'évolution du couple mais aussi ce que chacun a gagné en tant qu'acteur. L'autrice équilibre bien les deux et son final, en apothéose pour leur carrière, aurait pu aussi marqué la fin de la série, mais on sera content de les retrouver dans un tome 3 !

3'5. Considero que el nivel de este segundo volumen es inferior. La verdad es que como tomo único ya funcionaba bien solo, está segunda parte no ha aportado nada nuevo ya que no siquiera la relación afectiva de Yuki y Adami evoluciona. Es verdad que me ha gustado verlos de nuevo, pero sin más. No sé cómo será la tercera parte o l cuarta que empieza ahora, espero que mejore.

A story about two actors who are cast as the two leads in a gay romance. The two end up fooling around as 'research' and the relationship progresses from there. Volume two bumps up the drama a bit by introducing a third character and a jealousy arc. Once again, their relationship is pretty sweet and the art is lovely.

Està bé, però explora la típica rivalitat amb un nou actor que entra en escena i és company d'un d'ells. Ja estan enamoradíssims, així que no hi té res a fer, però després certa gelosia en la parella. Entretingut, però previsible.

WOW! This was so much better than the first, everything was much clearer, and the relationship was so amazingly hot, with a sprinkle of jealousy! Loved it! I’m so glad I gave this series a second chance, more to come I hope!

Si hay algo que los mangakas de BL saben hacer mejor que los mangakas de otros géneros son los triángulos amorosos. Que luego terminan siendo rectángulos pero dios que deliciosos son.
I will eat it up everytime

Me gustó más el tomo 1, pero cuando una pareja me gusta no puedo evitar leer lo que saquen sea lo que sea

January 31, 2025will I watch the drama? probably not, but I think the concept of this story being depicted on screen is v trippy so that's cool
October 12, 2025
the plot about the acting is what's so good. although i feel like i'm being edged the entire time.......

Honestly reading this made the drama make more sense. I like how the drama told it because it did create tension but some of the plot beats make more sense here.

«When I’m with you, I just keep wanting more.»
È stato troppo adorabile: i disegni sono troppo belli e la mangaka è bravissima nel disegnare le emozioni! Solitamente odio quando compare un secondo interesse amoroso, ma qui è calzato a pennello. La storia rimane pacata come sempre, però in questo volume ho sclerato un po’ di più. Non vedo l’ora di leggere il terzo, si sta rivelando una serie meravigliosa!

Didn't like this as much as the first one, but I still liked it. I think this volume establishes the couple's personalities a bit more. I don't really know what to say about this series except that I enjoy reading it.
