When Yoji asks the cosplay club if they could create some costumes and model to advertise the video games his club will be selling at a convention, the cost they give for it is not something they can afford. But their main costume designer, Toma, offers to make the costumes for free if Yoji will model for him. Yoji accepts the deal, but the modeling ends up being a bit different from what he expected.
This book is just silly, but sexy, fun. Toma wants a model for inspiration, but not how one would expect. He has a clothing fetish and gets turned on touching guys' bodies covered in fabric. He uses that to reward himself and inspire creativity. But he's also upfront about what he's doing and asks permission from Yoji before touching him. Toma's pretty good about checking in anytime he wants to try something new to make sure Yoji is fine with it, explicitly telling him early on that he won't do something if Yoji doesn't want him to do it. There is really only one point I can recall where Yoji pushes things and he is immediately apologetic. And part of the issue is mutual misunderstanding on both parts from a lack of communication when it comes to feelings that lead both to get upset because they think they've upset the other. This is where talking helps. It doesn't happen right away, but eventually they get there.
Yoji and Toma's relationship is cute. Obviously it starts off physically, but the two bond over mutual admiration for one another's design skills (fashion for Toma and character for Yoji) and their shared understanding of what it's like to get so focused on designing when inspiration hits that everything else just disappears. And eventually they realize they've developed feelings. Which take even longer to then express. Basically, the two of them do quite a bit together physically before they figure things out emotionally.
The extra story at the end is also a funny one where Yoji tries to surprise Toma by dressing up as his favorite hero who started his whole clothing fetish years ago. Only it's Yoji who ends up being surprised when he finds out just how many roleplaying fantasies Toma has for that hero and the two act out several of them.
Overall, I really love this book. The art is great. The relationship is sexy and charming. And it's just a fun read.

This was definitely one of the weirder yaoi manga that I've read, and while I didn't hate it, there just wasn't really anything that clicked with me like in previous ones. I think I'm realizing that I prefer a stronger focus on the romance, as it connects me more to the story and characters. At least the art was decent to look at.

Woah that was a seriously spicy read man, the art is just fire and the relationship between the couple is just cute. If you like latex fetishes, this ones for you!

Hat 4 Sterne für den etwas ausgefalleneren Stoff-Kink bekommen :D mehr Story ist hier nämlich nicht drin. Aber junge, es ist echt gut gezeichnet...

Es ist mal was anderes... zwei Personen, die vollkommen lost wirken in punkto Liebe und dann ist da noch der kleine Haken, dass sie einander ja gar nicht lieben wollen... gar nicht können - oder vielleicht doch?
Ich finde es schön, wie sich trotz der Tatsache, dass es sich hierbei um einen Einzelband handelt, die Beziehung zwischen den beiden Hauptcharakteren stufenweise aufbaut und nicht von "Eiszeit" zu "in einander verliebt" springt. Und dann ist da noch die Sache mit so Hobby und Vorlieben, Schwärmen für... und Begehren von..., das der ganzen Story diesen roten Faden gibt.
Niedlich und unbeholfen, aber gleichzeitig auch bestimmt und spicy. Eine gute Mischung und der perfekte BL-Manga für einen entspannten Leseabend noch einem viel zu langen Tag ;).

Note réelle : 3,75/5.
Étant donné le sujet je m'attendais à quelque chose qui me dérangerait profondément, mais j'ai été assez agréablement surprise. La relation n'est pas aussi non-consentie qu'on pourrait le craindre (un poil quand même il faut l'admettre) Le sujet du fétichisme est assez original mais intéressant.

First of all, that body suit must be hot, and since is summer and I'm melting also when I don't move a finger, that thing was so not my thing xD
But I must admit that the MCs were really hot and sexy together and the art was beautiful.
I rated this 4.5 stars only bcs there was no real plot.

Der deutsche Titel mag es nicht vermuten lassen - das Cover aber schon - das hier ist kein zarter Herzschmerz Manga, sondern bitter süßer smut. Jawohl. Und zwar verdammt guter!
Toma ist begehrter Cosyplay Schneider und als Kuroe bei ihm eines in Auftrag geben möchte, schlägt dieser einen verhängnisvollen Deal vor. Plötzlich findet sich Kuroe in einem Zentai (enger Ganzkörperanzug) wieder und eins führt zum anderen.
Die Chemie der Charaktere ist einfach toll, die Anziehung ist förmlich spürbar. Toma wirkt zwar unnahbar, dabei weiß er es einfach nicht besser und hat akzeptiert zu sein, wer er ist. Zudem ist er sehr direkt. Kuroe hingehen lässt sich irgendwie von Tomas Anziehung mitreißen und weiß nicht so recht, was ihm geschieht. Und gleichzeitig ist er so furchtbar unschuldig und cute.
Die Handlung kommt recht schnell zur Sache und hat einen flüssigen Erzählstil. Inhaltlich ist es keine Neuerfindung, aber der Kink in Kombination mit dem Cosplay Setting und den liebenswerten Charakteren gibt dem One Shot seine Würze.
Zudem ist der Zeichenstil ein Augenschmaus. Er hat seine Ecken und Kanten, wirkt aber dennoch fein und detailliert. Die Charaktere haben insgesamt ein tolles Design und einen coolen Style.

This was fun, a little weird, mostly smut. It's about a character designer who is trying to get the fashion/cosplay club to make one of his character's costumes and cosplay them to garner interest for a new game he's working on. The top designer of the club accepts the job on the condition that he "model" him. Modeling turns out to be wearing a skin tight suit, because the designer has a clothing fetish and the story progresses from there.
It is mostly smut, but there's a story there. Honestly the way the clothing designer acts was a little weird. He was a hard character to pin down. It was an entertaining read. The way they interacted was pretty funny and the ending was sweet. I liked it.

Es una historia bastante entretenida, en realidad no tiene una profundidad, ni en las relaciones, ni mucho menos en el crecimiento de personajes, la historia es simplemente en que el interés amoroso tiene un fetiche por ciertas ropas, y todo se centra en ello.
La historia hace mención a otras parejas, pero la verdad es que solo es una presunción, ya que, todo se centra en la sexualidad de los protagonistas, por lo que, no tiene un gran contenido

Okay I realize this has been sitting in my "currently reading" since August of last year, why I never labeled it as finished it beyond me. I wish I could remember but I can't. Lol I flipped through it to refresh my memory, I'm giving it 3 for now because from what I remember, I did like it.
I'll probably reread it eventually and give it a better rating (or worse) lol

I didn't expect to like this manga so much. This fetish was written and drawn really well.

Me gusta el cliché de los modelos porque el seme tiene un fetiche, no es una masterpiece pero lo disfrutas.

BEWARE of SPOILER
When I thought I'd read every fetishes out there, this one prove me wrong. It's about suit fetish. It brought out memory of my obsession towards Garo.

Manchmal wird mir zu abwertend über Tomas Kink gesprochen, obwohl er von Anfang an offen darüber ist, und das zerstört für mich leider das Storyfeeling.

I loved it. The relationship between Yoji and Toma were rlly cute and respectful. I read it in two days but hoped that it would not end this fast. 🧥🈳〽️
