The whole thing made me incredibly uncomfortable. I loved the relationship between the two main characters; simply an older gay man is not (or should not be) a threat to immature boys, and the mangaka's inclusion of this unsafe, damaging, and quite frankly homophobic trope is deeply unsettling. What makes it worse is that no one seems to intendance that an older human being is inviting a teenager back to his apartment. It's seen equally a kind gesture - he's offering assistance and advice. I would take loved an older gay graphic symbol to serve as a role model (à la the older lesbian couple in Bloom into You), but this is terrible. ...more

Much as I enjoy Noshiro, I actually love Sanada. He's super withdrawn, and I felt and so much for his situation. He wants to be left alone, to be immune to be himself, but anybody constantly speculates and judges him because of those rumors. They're true, of course, only that shouldn't change the fashion anyone interacts with him. Even Noshiro does some actually sketchy, homophobic stuff, although he takes criticism and immediately tries to improve his behavior. He's a sweetness little introverted grump, and I adore him. Though I am a scrap curious almost his back story, because there's clearly some weird shit going on there since his ex-boyfriend is 26. (I similar Hide but omg why are you and then old, Hide?!?!)

Trigger warning for homosexual slurs. It was rather a lot, I felt, and, though it may exist accurate for Japan idk, it felt a bit outdated to me at present. Even so, information technology'due south all about that arc, going from unintended homophobia to true tolerance.

I'g totally on board this ship, and I wish all of the volumes were out because I don't want to waiiiiit.

Information technology took me forever to become into this story. I didn't actually start enjoying it until it was most over. The way the main character, Noshiro, forced himself (or his stance) into situations that either didn't concern him or that he didn't fully understand bellyaching me to no end. I know he ever meant well just that even so didn't brand it right.

That older dude, Hibernate, was hella creepy. Was he just hanging effectually the school waiting for class to let out the first time he talked to Noshiro? The way he came out of nowhere and the actual questions he was asking him didn't feel right. And just why was he and then concerned nigh what was going on betwixt two loftier school kids anyhow? Did he not have adult friends he could hang out with? And don't even go me started on how he tricked Noshiro into coming over to his house that dark. The whole evening was weird and creepy and even though he did brand Noshiro feel improve it still left a bad gustation in my mouth.

The art style kind was beautiful but information technology threw me off a few times. I know these are high schoolhouse students merely they looked more like they were in middle school. Also, it would take been ameliorate if they just talked ordinarily. I get that the translator was trying to make the characters sound similar teenagers but it was too much. Saying stuff like "similar" and "yous know" all the time gets incredibly distracting later a while.

Overall, it was a less than vanilla, supposedly funny, dull fire BL story that isn't necessarily my cup of tea, but not then bad that I refuse to read the next volume. I however want to come across what develops between Noshiro and Sanada since, clearly, something will.

Zippo bad happened, and he only took him over to talk in individual, only he lied to the protagonist to get him that far. That'southward creepy?? He even gives his phone number to the boys and talk back and forth with them. This creepy age gap is completely normalised as what gay people do, which is incredibly harmful.

I read this volume fresh off of Shimanami Tasogare, and so while I'm at information technology, Noshiro is exceptionally rude to Kou. Asking invasive questions, ignoring Kou'south requests to leave him solitary, and hugging/tackling/touching Kou without his consent. His perky "I just want to get to know him" attitude is so analytical.

This book has been touted for "not being fatphobic" but there'due south a couple of fatphobic comments in this volume.

I want to proceed reading for the blossoming relationship between the two main boys, but the creepy 26 year old butting into their lives thing simply ruined everything about this.

Read Shimanami Tasogare or at the very least, My Brother'southward Hubby instead.

The fact that a 26 year old MAN was in a human relationship with a 16 year former teenager(a minor!!) really made me not like this manga as much as I could have. This probably wouldn't have been a trouble if it was portrayed as incorrect/inappropriate or something of the sort. But it wasn't. No character sees it as a bad affair.

Hide (the 26 year sometime) is portrayed as a wise mentor/older blood brother figure of sorts to Noshiro and that's creepy in one case you lot remember his by relationship with a 16 year onetime. I think there could have been other means to bring in Hide as a character that helps Noshiro and is gay without him having to have been Sanada'south ex fellow. Maybe there's more to Hide that meets the eye and information technology's revealed in after volumes just as of now, he's giving creep/pedophile vibes. Autonomously from that, it was honestly pretty bland so even without that *problematic* thing, I probably would have still given this manga a depression rating. ...more than

Otherwise, I really appreciate that nosotros're seeing a circuitous human relationship that even involves an older member of the community acting a fleck as a guide and advisor for our main two.
