When an overly-flirtatious older man enters the scene, Sou and Kouichi make a pact to prevent other people from hitting on Katsura and keep the rivalry to just the two of them. However, Katsura turns out to be able to stand up for himself.
I like how Katsura and Kouichi are developing in response to their new responsibilities and emotional concerns. Sou on the other hand seems less mature and more emotional; but that's realistic. I thought Kannagi did a great job portraying how a person can behave one way at school and another with their close friends and a third with their lover. Which sounds obvious, but I don't think one sees too often in teen fiction. (You instead tend to get the "now I know the 'real" so-and-so as if the person they are in other contexts were fake, which I think is overly simplistic.)
Sorry this series doesn't seem to have continued.

Lo odie, el personaje principal es más que insoportable, es desesperante, irritante, idiota e ingenuo para lo que le conviene 😡😡😡
Trata a las personas como sus juguetes, no afronta la realidad, se deja que lo toquen otras personas, da esperanzas a otros, juega con los sentimientos de mi exquisito senpai, no respeta a mi hermoso senpai, lo usa como juguete al igual su mejor amigo, es un personaje que me pareció tierno, despreciable, fastidio, irritante y ahora es el personaje que odio mucho, no quiero saber nada de este manga, me lleve con asqueroso amargo 🤢 en mi boca.
Solamente lo que me hizo feliz fue que salieron mis dos senpais favoritos 💖💖💖💖💖😻😻😻😻

Nostalgic 2000s bl. Reread this series. I realized I never actually read this final volume. Kinda wished it focused more on our main couple instead of introducing yet another competitor for our MC's affections. But we did get a cute little intimate scene with our couple that felt very sweet and domestic...so I was ultimately won over at the end. I enjoyed seeing the progression of the main character, wished Sou (the ML) got more development, though. Overall, it was a very fluffy and cute read. But I was left wanting.

Aranyos történet volt végig. Jó volt olvasni, ahogy Katsura egyre magabiztosabbá válik. Viszont idegesített, hogy olyan lassan jött rá az érzéseire. És a harmadik kötetben ez az új szereplő és kavarás már nem kellett volna. Vagy, ha már ezt belehozták akkor folytatni kellett volna a történetet, mert nagyon sok nyitott kérdés maradt.
Ha a cél Katsura felnőtté válása volt, akkor azt megkaptuk, bennem mégis sok a hiányérzet.
A hangulat és a gyönyörű rajzok miatt nem kap kevesebb csillagot.

Am I the only one who wanted Katsura to end up with Kouchi ? Like oh my god, he was so cute, he was doing everything for Katsura...Because of him. And he said he hasn't given up yet... But I think everyone knew how this story will end. Very predictable. But still, it was sweet story where characters were growing up and becoming mature, even though it has only 3 volumes. 4 stars mostly because of Kouchi, oh Kouchi... (｡•́︿•̀｡)

One of my favorites. As far as yaoi books go this one was almost perfect. It pulled me in and moved me. It wasn't rushed or anything and that’s what makes it so good. It will forever have a spot on my book shelf.

Angst angst, archery, archery. It kind of goes around in circles. And reading the afterward of this volume where they say it was meant to be 2 volumes but was one chapter too long, yea, I see that. It was too long.
Read
July 28, 2011A boring ending that stretched on too long and then two dull short stories thrown in to make a final compilation. I wouldn't recommend this series to anyone except yaoi diehards.
