YES! I Agree! I reallye njoyed the whole story, and it seemed (at least where I read) that the mangaka might continue it!!

English translation: "I'll be sure to diligently continue my work so please support me in the future as well." (Publisher of scanlation Akaneshinsha)

And I swear I read some news about it.. I'll try to find..

*moments later*

YES! HERE: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-09-15/seven-seas-licenses-go-for-it-nakamura-boys-love-manga/.121438

So if the link doesn't work: "Syundei first published the manga as a short in Akaneshinsha's boys-love anthology Opera in December 2014, but began publishing new chapters in the magazine in June 2015. Akaneshinsha published one compiled volume for the manga in May. A sequel, Motto Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!! (Go For It More, Nakamura!) launched in the 63rd issue of Opera on June 28." -anime news network


Oh, and btw, here is link (I found on tumblr: http://bunnys-scans.tumblr.com/) where you can read Syundeis another manga (bl?): http://entwinedtrees.tumblr.com/g01

Absolutely adorable!! My heart swelled by the end, I figured it would end like this, but still! It leaves me craving for more. The art style and some of the comedy devices reminded me of a mix between Rumiko Takahashi (Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha) and Mika Kawamura (Daa Daa Daa). Not a bad thing at all, quite charming actually. And gosh, that hand reaching spread was gorgeous. A sequel would make me soo happy. Now I have to check what other work this mangaka has done!

We don't get enough of these series where sexuality is the focus and it's so light hearted and innocent. It's like a breathe of fresh air. A sequel would make me so so happy but just any more work from Syundei would be worth it.

I really love it. I want these kind of BL. Cute, fluffy and healthy.
Plus I understand Nakamura because I was in love with the person who had the same gender as me, but sadly I never talked to that person because that person is straight. So I ended up forgetting about it. ;(

PLEASE WE NEED A SEQUEL OF THIS MANGA.

This was promising until they went down the love interest has zero interest in MC but seemingly falls for male teacher which isn't the first manga that has ruined.

I love that Nakamura tried hard to get closer to his crush. He didn't go seme and forceful on that little panda!!

Nakamura only asked to be friends. That was a good choice. If you don't know about a person's sexuality, asking them to go out with you is probably not a good idea.

The art style confused me quite a lot. I had to constantly remind myself this wasn't an 80's manga. While it doesn't matter most of the time, it gets confusing when they use a digital camera or do something that wouldn't have been possible back then.

I like that Nakamura is not good looking in any way. He looks like a normal shy kid, who can be kind of hard to talk to.

I really like this one. It is lighthearted and not cheesy. The comedy parts are great as well.

It's cute but... why is it somehow so censored about his true feelings?
He clearly doens't want to be just friends with Hirose, but the autor kept Nakamura going like "ah, i really wanna be his friend~~" "oh, Nakamura fell in love with him in the entrance cerimony but couldn't manage to be his FRIEND" while making him have some dirty thoughts about Hirose.

Wow this had a way nicer ending than I expected. The author even explains in the extras how he came up with the different chapters, and that 8-11 were all done together.
It shows, I would say 8-11 was really good, while the other chapters have some funny moments, I hated the whole 'act in a play' bit and the Hirose-lookalike sister (even though she was cute)
Nakamura-kun wasn't played up to be a creep like I feared he'd be, or to be used as the author's personal pin cushion (although the chapter with the play acting was crossing that line)-

Nakamura is a normal kid like Hirose, but just likes him. He never thought 'dirty' thoughts about him, just likes him. I think that other ppl are reading more into it than what was shown. That Hirose finally realized it and reciprocated at the end was sooooooo satisfying. So many Japanese romance go with this 'unrequited love' BS and I saw that coming... but they actually got together. They haven't professed romance yet, but that's fine for a first volume.

I disagree with the reviews that say the manga has fetishes or weirdness... it didn't seem that way. The only things I didn't like were the captions in the early chapters "This is Nakamura-kun, he's a closet gay" and "I'm Nakamura-kun, a closet gay" (literally) Or the other captions describing characters... like, just show us?
The last 4 chapters saved it. I read this in anticipation of the anime release. Since it's so short, I expect 5 or 10 minute episodes, doubt it will be 12 episodes of 23 minutes. Let's see if they stick with the manga ending showing them get together- bet it won't.
