I enjoy the fluffy more romantic side of BL and think, conceptually, this manga is cute. Has a lot of those butterfly moments, like when Keito takes Aoi by the face and pulls him close to read his lips. But a lot of their problems they run too are such non issues. I know romance writers love utilising lack of or poor communication to be the conflict in their stories (and maybe that should've tempered my expectations), but it feels like Keito and Aoi essentially run into the same core issue over and over again. Realistically could I understand that what they're going through is both of them experiencing sharing their lives with someone they love for the first time? Yes. I am, personally, just a little tired of the problems being so easily fixed because romance characters love to assume on their own. I also think Keito's exciteable nature and earnest love for JSL has made me very endeared to him.
