I never get tired of being surprised by what we’d call a cliché theme in Yaoi works: one-sided love for a childhood friend. There are so many works with this theme that one would say nothing new could be added to spicy things up, rise the adrenaline and provide a good read. But each time there is something!
Although, the storyline of this manga is simple and there’s not much of smut scenes, there’s comedy, struggles, great artwork and it can lighten your day and keep you glued to it until you reach the last pages.
This is the story of Takumi and Natsuki. The first, has a tough look, is well respected and has a great taste for fights, which he usually wins. But the most hilarious aspect about him, is his sensitive side to the point of crying. Natsuki on the other hand took upon himself the “protector role” and the “voice of reason”, who tries to keep Takumi out of danger as much as possible. Ever since he’s been saved by Takumi as a kid, he harbored romantic feelings for him, feelings that he never plans to confess until one day, when in the middle of arguing he actually steals a kiss from Takumi. In the spur of the moment, Takumi surprises everyone by publicly asking Natsuki to go out with him. But what happens once Natsuki shows the true length of his desire…
