Customer Reviews

Sweet, Slow, and Human

This is a self-contained story in one volume. It has a nice, slow build. There are kisses and hugs in this slice-of-life love story set in modern Japan. Probably the best part of this book (other than the illustrations) are the memorable characters. The art is somewhat sparse, but it is soft and appealing.

Aeria's Yaoi & BL Manga Review

The story line is simple and straight forward. Nothing too complicated. Basically just a sweet love story for those who are venturing for the first time into the land of yaoi and BL. The drawings are harsh but if you can get past over that, the plot will blow you away.

A tender love story!

Not Yaoi as nothing more than hugs and kisses. Not even Shounen-ai as this is not boys' love but the growing love between a thirty something man and a seventeen year old boy. Reminds me of Love Mode Vol 2 but milder. Some may find the story sappy. But I like it, if not for anything other than the fact that it centers on 2 lonely and unhappy people coming together and building a life together. The dialogue is simple yet effective and I do like the metaphor of the flower "Harujion". However this mangaka's artwork needs getting use to as it seems sparse but the facial expressions are vivid. And I do appreciate the much improved packaging by DMP under the new Yaoi label "June". Well done DMP.
