kei_k's manga / #Friendship(234)

It explores a polyamorous relationship quite well, I believe. I can quite understand how it is, but I wouldn't want to be in one. Despite personally not liking the theme, I think the human thoughts and emotions are brought up well and are good for discussion. The sex scenes are hot, and I like me some threesome, but not when romantic LOVE is involved. A lot of people think this is their favorite because it delves into a 3P relationship better than most manga, but to each their own. I learned a lot from this manga though, making me see the complications of this kind of relationship, reminding me not to be involved in one so I'll give it a 3.75 rating.

Adding it to my favorites because I couldn't stop smiling while reading. This is one of those light and fluffy manga that make you feel good and reminisce the feelings of having an innocent crush at school. I wanted more though, like exploring Sasano's "otomen" hobbies and of course, deeper development in their relationship. I really loved the pacing and transition of their relationship. Sasano may have been attracted at first sight, but he didn't confess right away and got to know Koga better before actually acting upon his feelings. I just love them so much. At this point, their roles aren't so apparent, but I think Sasano's the uke and Koga's the seme. Either way, I love them. Oh, about the art, I got confused a few times because of the inconsistency of their heights. Other than that, I don't have much complaints. :3

I really liked this couple, too. There was some heavy obstacle along the way and Sugiyama's background is quite darker, but I love how they handles it. Well, I would've loved to delve more into it, but it's satisfying for now. I'm just happy that he's finally allowed Hibiya to enter his world. Oh, and of course, the potential love story of Kurata and Tsutsumi is exciting, too!

Liked the 1st. Wasn't satisfied with the 2nd. I think if the chapters were longer, I would've accepted his "sweet declaration" in the end. After all, it's a start that he refused to kiss Mibu after Minato professed his love... I also liked that he confronted Minato immediately when Minato was being tolerant of his flashy behavior. It's easy to think that he'd probably cheat on Minato, too, because even when he was with his ex-gf, he easily went after Minato out of curiosity.. So, you know, it's logical to think that when someone "interesting" catches his eyes, he'd most likely cheat again. So yeah, I really appreciated that confrontation because it showed how he wanted to seriously take on their relationship. It somehow eased my irritation of that scene when he nonchalantly kissed his gf after sleeping with Minato. Well, it's not like he's the only one to blame because Minato knew (and saw) that the seme has a gf yet he still went along his whims. It's just really a disrespectful scene. It's nice that Minato immediately took the courage to confess, but it was too easy.. Meh, well, to each his own. If he's happy and content with that, then who am I to oppose? Hmph!

Reread: 02/04/17 Changing my rating from 4 to 5 stars. I guess I just read too many annoying manga that I'm appreciating this fluff better. I super like that there was no love triangle or cheating. The main hurdle was overcoming how people would see them, esp. Nonokawa. This is pretty basic for homosexuals in the society, so yeah. I liked that the seme was super devoted and the uke's really sexy and not too girly. I guess the 12 years thing kind of bothered me 'cos I think it's too much, but imagining myself in Nono's shoes, I guess he's right about his feelings just like that school -- it only submerged, not disappeared completely.. So when they met again, he could no longer contain these feelings. :)
