*Original Review 7/13/2022* This was somewhat problematic because dub con, but I really liked it.
Ayato, a cosmetology student, has a very intense sensitivity to smells and one day during a hellish train ride to school he bumps into someone who smells so good that his body reacts to the scent. He comes to find out that the person with this scent is his good-looking classmate with a scary face, Hibiki.
This has a similar vibe to Naka Made Aishite at least the pushiness of the seme was similar. I think what made me like this and dislike that was the character development and the likability of the characters. Sure Hibiki was pretty pushy at first, but once he realized how much it bothered Ayato he backed off until Ayato approached him. I thought the little conversation they had on the phone was pretty sweet. There were many moments where they both found things they liked about each other and their relationship built up beyond the physical attraction. Also what can I say the smut and the art was so fucking good?? I immediately bought the physical and the doujinshi and a mini acrylic stand of them. I'm SICK.
Anyway, excited that this is a volume 1 because I'd love to read more of them and I wouldn't mind more doujinshi either...
*Reread 12/20/2022* Okay upon rereading I really don't know why I like this so much because it's really not that great story wise. But idk!! Maybe the art is just that good that it sucks me in and I really do love all the bonus content in the doujin. Everyone is so pretty and the smut is great and I like their relationship in the later half so I want to see more of it.
*Reread 7/4/2024* Rereading because hello?? There's an official translation now? I love that. They haven't done the second volume yet, but crossing my fingers they do that soon. I still really like reading this every time. The first half of this volume is pretty rough and the writing isn't the best, but I like their little cute moments and how they take care of each other. I still haven't picked up the second volume, but I hope that has all the things I liked about this first volume and none of the things I disliked.
Lo leí porque me salieron algunas imágenes del manga en tiktok y me parecieron guapos los protagonistas jaja. Si no hubiera sido por el dibujo muy probablemente no lo hubiera leído. Tiene una trama muy cliché, todo comienza con deseo sexual que mágicamente se transforma en amor (? Le doy 2 estrellas solo porque me entretuvo un poco y no es lo peor que he leído, pero aún así no me gustó lo suficiente como para leer el tomo 2.
lo dejamos hasta acá porque según mi experiencia en este tipo de mangas en el próximo tomo aparece el tercero en discordia 🙄 igual y la historia es tan básica q debería haberse quedado en un solo tomo
