I'm a guy who typically would not want to read a Shounen Ai manga, just because it's a bit strange. If emphasis is more on the story and not so much the romance I could endure. Is it worth my time? Should I read this? Would I enjoy it?

^ What I want to know, too. I don't like BL, but the concept is pretty interesting...And now that the anime is on its way, it's even more tempting, considering the cast. Is it really romance-heavy?

Well there isn´t much Boys Love in it to be honest ! There are some hints, but there is no clear pairing or something... ! The most part of BL in this are hints... :3

So far (up to volume 5) there hasn't even been a kiss, so it's definitely a very light shounen-ai. And if you don't mind a spoiler:


All in all, this manga is much more plot focused then romance focused. And unlike a lot of shounen-ai, female characters actually exist, and not every character is gay lol.

So I personally don't think it's all that bad for someone not into BL.
