"Then if there's lightning, i'll come right away."

Shingo - một "thần cupid" chuyên được các bạn gái nhờ cậy điều tra thông tin của các anh chàng để "se duyên". Một ngày nọ, Shingo được nhờ cậy điều tra về vết sẹo trên trán của Ao - đàn anh tính tình lạnh lùng.



Lại là một tác phẩm mình muốn đọc từ lâu của tác giả này :))) mấy cái bìa của mấy quyển của Suzumaru Minta lúc nào nhìn cũng đẹp :"))
Từ việc điều tra về vết sẹo trên trán của Ao - Shingo biết được một bí mật của đàn anh và cả hai dần hình thành một tình bạn.



Cái cách mà Shingo sẵn sàng "bay" đến chỗ Ao đáng yêu gì đâuuu.



Mình cũng đã đoán được mối quan hệ giữa Shingo và Ao sẽ phát triển thế nào nên không bất ngờ lắm... Điều khiến mình thích thú mà theo dõi nằm ở mấy biểu cảm hài hước của Shingo.



Nên quyển này với mình chỉ nằm ở mức 3.5 thôi.

I told you, I'm easily sold when it comes to ironies and motifs! And don't even ask about the art, because it is really a 100% too! love this so much, it makes my heart full. And isn't Ao a total bae? Nose bleeds. I love how simply drawn Shingo is to Ao, and how Ao hates it but became used to his presence that he search for him when he's not around! Augh, my heart, won't you calm down?! I'm going to binge Minta Suzumaru! This volume is really a great start! And looking forward to Ao's friends blooming you-know-what hehe (I forgot their names!)

This one was really cute cart wait for next volume.

I can't believe I didn't notice Minta Suzumaru had more works on futekiya and I also can't believe it's taken me this long to read more from them considering how much I like "I Didn't Mean to Fall in Love."

This one was absolutely adorable and I'm upset I have to wait until July for volume 2 to be up, but it's something to look forward to, I guess. The story follows Shingo, a boy who helps girls with their crushes by finding out their likes and interest in exchange for lunches. One day some girls ask him to get information on Ao, who's mysterious and standoffish. Specifically they ask him to find out about the scar Ao has on his forehead. Shingo takes on this challenge and ends up getting closer to Ao and obviously develops feelings. It's so sweet and I just love the relationship dynamic so much.

I'm excited to see what volume 2 will bring and how much closer these boys will grow. Such a good story. Highly recommend.

READ ON FUTEKIYA

My heart is so full right now.

Grumpy and sunshine, such an unbeatable duo. The way Ao slowly but surely started to crave Shingo's company and affection. How Shingo is clumsily honest but good-natured in all of their interactions.

I had a great time.

Bin ein bisschen zwiegespalten. Die Hauptstory war süß - das Konzept Cupid verliebt sich selbst und die beiden Hauptcharaktere waren auch gut - aber leider hat mir das im Ganzen nicht so gut gefallen. Die Entwicklung ihrer Beziehung war sehr sprunghaft und die Integration des Aspekts Sex ist meiner Meinung nicht so gut gelungen. Außerdem war ich frustriert, dass Shingo und Ao's Geschichte nicht so viel Platz eingenommen hat, wie ich es erwartet habe. Das Ende war dann nur noch eine große Nebengeschichte mit zwei anderen Charakteren und ein kleinerer Kurzeinblick in Aos Freunde und das hat mich enorm frustriert.

I‘m honestly not quite sure how to feel about this manga. I liked the main story but tbh I actually thought it would be just that and not get some random one shot in between (which actually sucked in my opinion). I loved the art tho but all in all everything about this manga was mid. I still habe the second volume laying around here so I will read it too but I actually mind get right off them after finished this series…

⭐️2,5

⭐️4.25/5 RATING

Too short 😭, everything happened too fast, and the manga is just too short, itself.
But I did like it, and obviously, I enjoyed reading these two dorks and their relationship development.

Senpai-kohai relationship, enemies to lovers (at least at the very beginning 🤡🥲), school-life .

literally giggled and kicked my feet the whole time i was reading this like it was that serious for me i fear

[Imanewreader ✨ · Rating 4 out of 5]

no, that's actually so cute !!

[Pearl · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was Minta Suzumaru's first manga that they have written. I like how this is set in high school and the one who takes the lead is actually the freshman and not the senior. I thought that that was special about this novel since it was fun to follow along. Chapter 5 suddenly follows this another couple that I had no clue about, but I got used to them and I wanna see where their relationship is going to go. I am excited to read the next volume!

Cute enough with a few basic Yaoi stories...

[Mariam, · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was... fairly cute - both volume 1 & lesser so in 2.

[Sandra · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ein weiterer Manga während der Schule - entsprechend wenig neues bekommen wir hier zu sehen.
Es ist hübsch gezeichnet, die Idee mit Ao, der Angst vor Gewitter hat, ist irgendwie süß, und die beiden benehmen sich ganz nett. Es ist ein wenig spicy, hat die typischen Kommunikationsprobleme und ab Band 2 auch wieder einen Rivalen - also nichts wirklich neues. Deswegen hol ich mir Band 2 auch nicht :D aber es war nett und schnell zu lesen.
Leute, die gerne Schul-Trope haben, ist das hier definitiv nett.

Etwas irritierend war das ab der Hälfte des Mangas plötzlich ne Kurzgeschichte mit nem anderen Kerl kam, der auch gar nix mit dem Hauptpairing zu tun hatte, weil es da um ein öffentliches Bad ging???? Hat ein wenig rausgerissen.

FUE HERMOSO NADIE ME PREPARÓ PARA UN MANGA TAN TIERNO Y BONITO



Por momentos me hizo acordar a Karasugaoka Don't be shy!! (aka mi manga BL favorito) de lo mucho que me estaba gustando <33

4 de 5 estrellas.

Starting the year with a yaoi manga is representative of my mental state.

Un tomo único precioso muy divertido, soft y sexy con cero dramas y chorradas varias. Para ser la obra debut de la autora me ha encantado al igual que una historia corta aparte.
Super fan de Shingo y Ao. Los adoro!!!!

Muy recomendable.

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked this one the least out of the three story's I have read from this author, but it was still okay in my opinion. Just liked the other two a lot better...

Rread in 2023: Still just okay, relationship moved too fast in my opinion.

This was SO STINKING CUTE that I’m gonna throw up! MY CUTIE PATOOTIES! 💖😭💖

What an adorable manga 🥺 I love my babies Shingo and Ao. They’re so cute I wanna squish their lil faces! My precious 💖 Their lil blushing faces are so adorable! They like each other so much *sobs*

Their relationship started a lil rough because Shingo is a dumb baby and has absolutely no sense of decorum, but that resolved so well too 😭 Absolutely obsessed with how down bad Shingo was for Ao. Baby is such a dumb dumb, but if he figures something out it’s that he’s absolutely in love with Ao. What a time to be alive! THIS was the high note I wanted to finish my reading year with.

I’m still not a huge fan of manga that features explicit sex scenes between teenagers, but I’ll let it slide because my boys are so sweet. They like each other so much, and it just makes me emotional 😩

It’s just delightful seeing a closed off character like Ao open up so much to a sweet character like Shingo. I’m gonna eat up that trope EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Every single time Shingo ran off to look for Ao when there was a storm, I wanted to melt. I’m weak at the knees for some hurt/comfort. Reassure him, baby boy, that he’s safe and sound 😭 It’s only RIGHT!

I’m all mushy inside now 💖🥹💖 I just wanna screech about how cute these two are!

[Dana ♡]

The story was really cute, however the scenes should have been stretched out more. I have the feeling the author had this idea for a story and wasn't sure if it was gonna have multiple volumes so they just rushed everything. It moved very fast and I would’ve liked to see more things happen in general, like Ao could have stayed mad longer at Shingo, they could've built up to the kiss in the next volume, etc. Ao being scared of lightning was really interesting to me because I love the trope of someone being a tsundere but having a weakness. The smut was rlly soft lol no toxicity. Also Ch 5 was super random it was a one shot of completely different characters like? Really dragged down the volume.

P.S. Shingo reminds me of Aoki from My Love Mix Up.

[jessica · Rating 3 out of 5]

rating for both volume 1 and 2

It was aight you can't really go wrong with the sunshine x grump trope and I'm fine with generic plots but it just felt like it was too flat for me to really care about anything. There was also a chapter with a random one shot (that was also just okay writing wise) that came out of nowhere and is never brought up again it fr was just a one shot?? I thought we moved on from manga doing that in 2015 but what the hell sure I guess.

[Julie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a simple and short manga that is very sweet and comforting.

I enjoyed a lot the simple plot of teenagers at school falling in love and overcoming common challenges in their high school days. The mature scenes were okay, I didn’t expect them cuz I thought it would be more light in that way lol but they were also sweet.

Short manga, pretty good design and entertaining plot.

[Kat · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was super cute and fluffy but the volume was super clunky with how it was laid out. It felt like 1 1/2 volumes shoved into one book since there were a lot of side chapters shoved in the middle of the volume, which irked me. I’m looking forward to more of these two but could we have a better lay out for the next volume please.
