Kazuho and Tokio have always been close friends. As they
enter high school, everything shifts. Kazuho realizes his feelings for Tokio
are romantic, not platonic. He worries how Tokio might react if he learns the
truth, so he begins to distance himself. Will Kazuho find the courage to
confess his feelings? And what will Tokio’s answer be?
I am still on the fence about this manga. The storyline
just did not invoke much interest in me. I would have liked a little more on
Tokio’s point-of-view. It would have allowed the story to flow a little better
and to allow readers to connect with him better. It felt one sided, like
everything centered around Kazuho.
Volume One reads more like a one-shot. So, I am curious
yet not so curious, what the mangaka plans for the next volume. And for readers who like the steamy, raunchy
sex scenes will be disappointed. It is mostly Kazuho agonizing over his
feelings and yearning for Tokio. His angst that it will be unrequited.
