I swear, sucking blood has never looked so damn sexy before!! The art, the plot, the character design, its all *chef's kiss*! I honestly wish this story was delved into deeper with a few more chapters and a few more smexy NSFW scenes, its too delicously good. Damn, this story is a nectar by itself!! I wanna bite more into it!!!

This is really well done so far - both in the portrayal of office politics and the advertising work to sell to Clients, as well as in the fairly realistic portrayal of relationship misunderstandings and challenges at the start of a relationship when you tend to assume and miscommunicate unintentionally. I really like both the seme and uke as well - both are trying their best with the budding relationship and their deepening feelings.

This was beautiful. I couldnt put it down. I cried like an idiot. A firm favourite. Although, a re-read is very hard for me, as my heart cant take so much again.

Its really a very sweet romance. I would have liked a little angst, some serious questioning and discussions they did together on long term relationships, esp gay - between half beast and human. I am also sad they did not discover they were childgood friends. But I am so happy to see a yaoi couple grow happily old together, and here for Riku to get married. I think the best line in the manga was what Iori said to Gouda at Riku's wedding - "All the way to the very end, I will be by your side. I'll take care of you until our final farewell". That completely tugged my heartstrings, I heaved a little sob.

The synopsis made it sound poignant and a little depressing, but it ended up having such nice comedic moments that balanced out the angst and seriousness of the nature of the story. Plus the uke was such a gem!! I liked the silly naughtiness and cheerful play the uke showed, even tho he was likely very insecure and anxious inside whilst waiting for the seme to fall in love with him again and regain his memories.

So the plot is nothing new, but damn, their expressions are so well drawn and for once I could not guess who would be the uke. Initially I thot it was Hiroto, but after 4 years, Manabu came back looking so pretty. Glad we found out in a very very hot Chapter 6!

The smut is nicely done and their expressions are so well drawn. I also appreciated the ambiguity in the ending - you know the relationship is in a good place at that point anyhow and although they havent confessed, its pretty obvious they are in love with each other.

I preferred the original story flow that came from the magazine (instead of the tankoboun version) - right up to when Uyama upped and left for New York and left Sakyou high and dry. I loved the drama and the angst - it was unnecessary perhaps, but ahh the sweet clenches of pain to my heart!! I was also curious to see how the mangaka would have tried to end it had she kept to the original storyline, esp after that tragic way of hanging the story. (Alas for me), she re-wrote it. Definitely a happier and more positive version thats preferred by more readers, but still, I REALLY wanted to see how they would have met again in NY following the original story, the make-up sex would hv been *chef's kiss*. Regardless, I love this story NGL, in fact all the works by Sensei Natsume Kazuki is awesome.

I prefer yaoi but this is one of those rare hetero mangas that I truly enjoyed reading every single chapter. Asako and Kotaro are an absolutely adorable couple. I love the pace of their relationship, how honest they are with each other and I can literally feel their chemistry exploding off the pages sometimes! I also appreciate the smut is NOT given priority and placed where it should be - to showcase their emotions and feelings for each other. It honestly makes the story even more fulfilling. 10/10 from me!

I almost spewed my food and LOL when Yeechan tried to blow the pain away on Yool's head at the hospital. This manhwa is very appealing and Yeechan is so fuckin adorable. Good plot, nice clean well-drawn art, and lots of memorable moments. 10/10.
