Review:
A one volume story, this manga is a simple (but sexy) piece! Naoya, who had been in a one-sided crush with a colleague, gets his heart broken. Enter the megane-bishie (self-translation: handsome glasses guy!), popular designer Shuji. Shuji recognizes that the previously mentioned colleague had used Naoya’s crush on him to take the credit for himself, and offers Naoya… more than he could have imagined. (Read: YES THERE IS SMUT)

Have to say, the story rather resembles PWP (Porn without plot) type stories – ok there is maybe a LITTLE TINY BIT of plot - but I guess it probably says something about me that I really like the bossy, egoistic, domineering type characters (Shuji) and the somewhat ‘helpless’ and seemingly desperate bottoms (Naoya). No lie, the smut scenes draw me to reread this manga.

Not something to cry home about, but worth a read to check out the eye candy and smexiness.

Review:
Masao Sangatsu’s works are delightful! The plot and graphic are AMAZING that you simply can’t drop it and surely you won’t ever regret picking it up in the first place.

At first glance this manga treats the typical childhood-one sided love story theme, but the way it was developed in the 6 chapters is simply unique.
The first thing I found wonderful, was the fact that most chapters start and end with some type of “statement” or “motto” regarding life, each of this represent a smooth passing from one point of the story to another. The other, is the fact that we get a glimpse of the past, present and future without being too much or too little.

The manga starts off with the present time: college, and the aftereffects of the breakup of the notorious playboy Sumiyoshi who’s being treated yet again, by his childhood friend Shinomoto. Of course, it’s easy to realize that the story revolves around them. So, in order to stop Sumiyoshi in just accepting the next confession, Shinomoto keeps interfering in his affairs until the point that he’s actually taking the girls place in his bed. But one thing leads to another and Sumiyoshi actually discovers his true feelings for his friend, but how difficult can it be to prove that “this time it’s real” when you used to date whoever confessed to you?

Both reviews were great. #1 was just a little more polished and so nudged ahead to win.

Good work, reviewers!
