This is so wholesome and heartwarming. I highly recommend it, especially for animal and pet lovers. I mostly read BL, but I think I should read more stories like this.
Fujiya/Poko in chapter 2 seems like a nice guy and a refreshing ML, so it's sad that the story is underdeveloped. I wish it was longer and made more complex.
Rereading this today and chapter 12 (plus 12.5) couple is so cute. So the oneshot title is "The Rambling Love Poem" which is very apt. It's funny when he said his heart is doing samba, haha.

Love the main cp, but I also ship the two friends who bond over AVs lol.
I can't read Korean, but I checked the raws because the comment below said ML will have sex with 2 women and it's true. I don't know the context.
Warning: MC will be sexually assaulted (given fellatio) by an old man. I wish the author didn't write that.
King spied MC and ML having sex one time. I don't know if he's interested with MC or what. Because there's another character who looks a lot like MC and he seems to be in a relationship with the king.
I remember Yutaka said he dated or had a lover in the prequel. I checked in both the official and fan translation. But here, he said it's pretty much the first time he dated someone. Anyhow, this is a beautiful manga so I'm happy it got a sequel, I just noticed the inconsistency.
I remember that too, so I was a lil confused
Rereading this today, and the art is just so beautiful. It may look simple at first, but the anatomy, proportions, and poses are so well done. You can tell the mangaka simplified their drawing technique for the manga, but they’re capable of drawing more detail. They’re also good at setting the mood/atmosphere. They drew Kamakura beautifully especially in later chapters.
This is something that really happens in real life (trauma, depression, stagnating, isolation as a coping mechanism), and I can relate, except for the trash part, since I’m kind of a germaphobe. I wish more mangaka would make stories like this, discussing important real-life topics instead of romanticizing rape or student/minor–adult relationships.
I was wondering why the rating isn’t higher, and I think it’s because the story is short, so the process of falling in love feels a little rushed.
I hope to see more works from this mangaka, Joe Aruku.
This is a cute story and everyone should read the sequel. In there, Noburu has matured a lot and is such an ideal boyfriend:
