Synopsis

On a train ride home one night, corporate slave Kazuaki Sakurai has an unpleasant encounter with another passenger, ruining Sakurai's outfit and documents from work. When the apathetic passenger—Youichi Minagawa—invites him to his residence to make amends for the incident, Sakurai goes without protest.

Aside from being a college student, Youichi turns out to own a huge house, which is something unusual for his age. While it piques Sakurai's interest, their unexpected connection does not last long after the compromise was made, and Sakurai returns to his recurring dull life. However, fate seems to have other plans for Sakurai.

Despite not intending to return, he often finds himself back in Youichi's house, and the occurrences that follow draw them closer to each other. In turn, Sakurai starts to take a deeper interest in the young man, while Youichi begins to display a rare side of himself ever since the office worker's appearance.

There is one thing I would like to change about this manga and that is for me to read the manga before I watch the film, because I did it the other way around and that was not a good idea.

The plot developed very nicely with a little bit more revealed every chapter. There are significant differences between the manga and the film in which the film is nowhere even close to how great the manga is and leaves out a lot of details, so I was glad to have the manga shed some light on some of the relationships and histories of the ...

I LOVED THIS MANGA. I have always been rather reluctant to try Shounen-Ai as i pictured it to be terribly frivolous and fluffy and something i would never be emotionally invested in. HOWEVER, this went against every expectation i had with its compelling leads and original concept.

Sakurai Kazuaki aka Sakurai-san aka The sexy seme, is a 38 year old workoholic with no life really. He wants to try gardening in an attempt to spruce his dull life up but that fails due to his lack of skill but manages to be the medium through which he meets Minagawa Youichi. This happens as he ...

Preliminary (27/35 eps)
Since I'm bored I decided to write a review .

Story: 9/10

I've read this along time ago and I must admit, the first time I read it didn't really left an impression to me. At that time I thought it was just your typical BL and a forgettable story but I didn't find it that bad. It was still a good read. But still not good enough to satisfy me... probably because there were only few chapters available around that time (though ...
