RoseMary's manga / #Reunion/Reencounter(327)

[[20 y.o. Uni Student x Police Officer]] I loved the funny beginning and thb, according to my tastes, I'd have preferred and found more interesting if the seme was really a flasher who coincidentally got caught by the police officer! But it was actually a case of past encounter and the seme was already in love with the uke: although the police officer didn't remember at first, 5 years before he helped the seme to search for his lost dog and became the boy's crush. The flasher thing was just a silly way the seme thought to get involved with the police officer and, after the seme confessed everything, it was soon dismissed and the dynamics changed completely. That said, the story was still good and overall I really liked it!

1 Volume (Complete) - It seems the story "Rub in Love" is actually completed with part 01 and part 02, as raw also stop there! If there was more, they were probably independent oneshots included in the volume...as we can see from the contents page, there were supposed to be included the stories "Jellyfish" and "0 Nothing", but even in raw they're not available...

Father x Daughter

I liked it, but it was too short and rushed to actually have any significance. > Anyway, on Baka-Updates it's status is 1 Volume (Complete), so I don't know if maybe there was more or if it's a collection of stories...

Well, the ending certainly leaves the reader a bit unsatisfied, like one was expecting something more, something definite, you know, a final scene that would seem like a proper closure. But I actually think it's understandable that the author ended it like that, because after all that's just they way Jou and Azuma are, the way their very relationship is all along! So, there wasn't really the need to say anything more and imo a sweet, lovey-dovey scene would have actually felt forced for them. Just Azuma simply asking Jou to go to Nagano (where his real house is) with him for spring break and Jou agreeing conveyed their unspoken understanding and let us know that they'll stay together in the future. The wall Azuma put up around him finally has been broken down and he is now resolute about accepting everything. They feel the same about each other...just like the author said, let's hope they can officially call themselves partners soon! So, I can accept the ending just as it is! Overall, the story was great and I really loved it! Not a masterpiece, but it's an impressive story...one of a kind! # Private|Prestigious School, Catholic School, All-Boys School, Friends "become Lovers", Beautiful Art, Unexpressed Feelings, Friends Grow Distant, Family Drama|Complicated Family (Azuma's), Transfer Student (Jou returns from the USA), Soccer, Love-Hate Relationship|Bickering Love, Sickly but Strong Uke, Strong Seme, Stolen Kiss (when they were younger, Azuma kissed Jou while he was asleep at the hospital.
