This was by far one of the purest yaoi stories I've ever read while keeping good yaoi scenes *cough* *cough*. It was excellent, a good storyline, the art was great, character build up was perfect, I enjoyed it. You didn't have that feeling of a damsel in distress while watching this but this yaoi manga makes you feel good in the heart not only in some "other places". This was outstanding. Oh my god it was a MASTERPEICE, i dont care what anyone says.

Well, this certainly was a cute Manga, and pretty uncomplicated.

A bit too uncomplicated...
Compared to all the other Manga I've ever read (yaoi or not) this was probably the one with the least drama in it - wich normally wouldn't bother me if there was something else that kept the story going.
But it is neither very funny nor deep, it's not annyoing but also not heartwrenching, To me this story could be described as fluffy, but a bit boring.

The story, which was the thing that bothered me the most, is about a couple - a workaholic but friendly and successful Elite(?) and a cute, easy going ... cleaner who wants to become a chef.

Harutomo, the cleaner, appreciates the seasons very much and thanks to him so does Kazushi, the elite.
Kazushi has to go to America because of work and misses Harutomo, but shortly before he was going to return to Japan Harutomo gets an asignment in a hotel in America to work as a chef - yay.

Unfortunatly, this passage of the Manga was so undramatic (sorry, does that word even exist -.-') that it was almost anticlimatic... I thought that something finally happened, but it was covered in no time.

Kazushi's family adores Harutomo.
Harutomo has some problems with his sister, a distanced realytionship, but they planned to talk to her in the last few pages.

THE END.

Yeah, it was kinda cute, but --- maybe it's because it was so short, but it feels to me like a filler of some other Manga...

Of course it's annoying if the whole story consists of one dramatic turn after the other (Oh my god, my mother died, my dad drinks, my brother hates me......... woe is me ;))
But I guess both extremes aren't really my thing.


It's a nice, quick read and if you like cute, fluffy relationships, you should defenitly try this out.
Don't expect too much and just let the warm feelings take over ;))

It's enjoyable enough, I guess.

In all honesty, I was, personally, not very impressed with this manga. There was a severe lack of conflict, both internal and external, and the plot was as basic as it could have been without being completely senseless. That being said, it is an extremely fluffy type of story, and the art is pleasing to the eye. If you are searching for a manga with a very simple story, impressive art, and decent sex scenes, then I would recommend reading Aishiteru over, especially since it is so short. Although I personally did not care much for it because I prefer a little more complexity to ... a plot when I am reading over a manga, Aishiteru offers a "breath of fresh air", in a sense, as it does not seem to aim to elicit any particularly strong or taxing emotions in the reader--only a sense of, "Aw, that couple is cute and compatible!"
