this is my favorite BL work of Natsume Isaku so far. i decided to write this first review 'cause i'm surprised no on else had yet.
hm, i'm actually praising this for the motivation it caused me. i mean, when Toba had brooded over whether or not to quit being a doctor, despite the obvious guilt and trauma he had with his ex fellow doctor even though what happened to him wasn't really his fault, he found the will to continue being a doctor and starting over. compared to that, my fulfillment of my own dream since i was a kid seems halfhearted, at best.

first read the scene of the main couple's story, i found it was one of the most different and unique ways to get past their traumatic past incidents. most other books or stories always take forever to get through that kind of thing, with a lot of angst included. anyone understand what i mean?
edit: i actually reread this manga again (it's definitely worth reading more than once), and i'm finding myself confused about why i said this didn't impact me much. it affected me in a very positive way.
sometimes the story or, more specifically, the dialogue gets a bit confusing. perhaps it was because of the English translation. in any case, some things said were just worded in a slightly weird way.
on another note, it's actually quite romantic between Toba and Kazu, even if they had a negative impression at first. more accurately, this seems to be more of a quiet or easygoing kind of romance, which you can hardly ever find anywhere. in just 6 chapters, you can feel it from beginning to end.
