This is the third time I've read this, and there is much I like and much I don't. What is good is very good, but there are a few things that just leave me wondering every time why I don't like it more. I've finally come to the conclusion, that it's too rushed, especially the second half. There's also too much sex at the expense of their emotional relationship development. Not that I don't like the smex, but a bit less to give them more scenes to, well, talk so we could have been convinced that they did gradually fall for another as individuals.

Thought about this last ch. for about a day, well not constantly, but still, and found I had a bad feeling about it.

Not only has Kasan lost what backbone he found before, that made him capable of standing up to everyone for himself, he's now about to be tested. And by Igen who just became his 'lover(?)', just to be certain to cause more hurt. And Igen surely is going to be a mental mess if he keeps being in denial this way, and end up hurting those he really cares about.

The more I think about it the worse it seems.

First off, I'd like to say that while this full of the bully seme tropes, I still look forward to see where it's going.

2nd, on the charcters: Yamaguchi, while unquestionably a jerk and a bully, seems to have an underlying hurt or chip on shoulder driving his internal devil. Not that really excuses anything. But it will make him a more interesting character.

Ookouchi however, also is a naive jerk. The moment he discovers Sensei is less than 'pure', not only does he participate, but also despise Sensei for falling off the pedestal he put Sensei on. And this is depite knowing what sort of person Yamaguchi is.

And as to Sensei- he's an idiot. Who keeps a compromising diary at school? And while I believe in the power and influence of music, different types of music are suited for different types of people. Not everyone will like classical. So why does Sensei insist on Yamaguchi appreciating classical?

While early days it looks promising. So I'm looking forward to the next few chs.

Still trying to make sense of what exactly is going on, though hoping that it will become clearer with time. What I do like is Bobcat's mix of cute and edgy. No sweet lil' thing here, he's got attitude.

I have a really bad feeling about this. While being labeled 'tragedy' doesn't necessarily mean there can't be a happy ending at the very end (just a lot of grief along the way), I just get a vibe that in this case the ending won't be all that happy. I hope I'm wrong.

A very touching story. Wonder where it will go from here?

So grateful to scanlators that this was finally given an ending. Nothing worse than an unfinished story. Gives me hope for all those other unfinished projects out there. :)

A bit too short to say much. I like that's in color. Also seems to have a promising premise, but time will tell if the story actually delivers. Here's to hoping it will as there's nothing better thab yaoi with an interesting storyline and setting.

Though I get the sense of fun and comedy of the manga, it somehow doesn't hit the spot for me. Instead of being amused by the caricatures and shinanigans, I find the uke too overdone and not subtle enough, and so becomes tiresome.
