I just finished watching the live action adaptation and I have to say it was once of the best adaptations that Japan has every put out (for me of course). I also recommend you watch that after reading the manga, the plot and everything stayed true to the original source, its one of those series that made me what to forget it just to rewatch it again.

Regarding the manga itself, this story will forever be one of my favorite BL Mangas. The story is so beautiful but at the same time painful, because it genuinely depicts the pain of first true love as a youth. Ren in the story was so patient and loyal that it was heartbreakingly painful to read, his love towards Kazuma is so raw that he's willing to do everything for him. Even Kazuma is not lacking on affection for Ren either, when he was confronted by the question "didn't you ever question everything?" It broke my heart cuz it wasn't that he never did, he was asking but he could never get an answer from anyone, especially from Ren. His respect towards Ren and how he carefully cares from him was prominent in everything he does for him, like when he could have gotten an idea from Hide, if he truly wanted to he could have asked Hide what happened when he was hospitalized, but he didn't. He could have forced Ren to say it but he never did cuz he respect it.

It's that fact that they both were simply just so happy with each other that they feared touching the subject would break their current situation, especially on Ren's perspective.

I truly recommend this story, if you'll watch the series after you read the manga you would find cute details, it's small but very cute. Like how Ren in the manga is cuter, more open and fruiter like how he wanted to keep Kazuma's documents when he found out he would be working with him. However in the live action he is more subtle and cooler...

As of the latest chapter 69, Jaek has been really testing my patience. His lack of romance in his very soul is the bane of my existence. He basically proves that he lacks interest on everything other than his career which truly made an impact in his life, yet despite his awkward and cold ways, his compassion (If you can even call it that) towards others and how sensitive he is towards Dan is just undeniable expressing "I adore you". However, because he lacks awareness and he is in denial of his feelings. On top of that, he has zero-to-none experience when it comes to love, which is just frustrating at this point. I do hope we get like an answer as to why he doesn't understand love and why he is so drawn to his career.
