I was worried when I saw Momo kinda forcing himself on Yoshiko, but the love story with all that stuff about Momo being attracted to Yoshiko’s both feminine and masculine counterpart was really cute, Yoshiko’s internalised homophobia hit really hard, and the development of his character’s sexual awareness was very interesting and heart clenching to read. If it wasn’t for Momo’s extreme possessiveness in the first chapters I would have rated it 5 stars hands down. Overall a good read.

The sea can give and the sea can take. Five years ago, the sea has taken Shuu’s brother away from him, and since then he’s worn the bracelet he gifted him as a token of his love, reminding him that that wild feeling of freedom he’s striving for has many risks. But his surfing led him to Nanami, his classmate’s little brother, who goes on a walk with his dog everyday, and everyday admires him gliding flawlessly on the waves. Nanami is the first person to make Shuu smile after that fateful day. As a kiss under the rain leads to another under the fireworks, their friendship quickly progresses into something more. Shuu knows he’s not gonna lose him to the sea too, otherwise he won’t set foot in the sea again, so he’ll stand beside him every step of the way. A love story that tastes like sea salt and summer.
