If you're looking for a feel-good short gay story, this is a great pick!

As somoene who has read a somewhat impressive amount of BL manga, I would like to express my enjoyment at this simple, yet tasteful portrayal of same-sex adult couples. As the story progresses, we get to see how their friendship morphs into something more- love. Short and Straightfoward, this work will defently apease to thoses who dislike slowburns. Generally, this manga avoids using the tropes that can be commonly found in such media. Such a masterful mix between wholesome BL fluff and good character developement is a breath of ... fresh air. The two main character, Mitsuomi and Yamato, deal with very real issues. It's cutesy art style compliments the slice-of-life aspect of this story.

Great art paired with the author's understanding of the human psyche make this a good read!

So heartwarming and beautiful! Imagine always being cheerful and laughing your life away but hides the sad past in the back of your heart just to be able to live a normal and pleasant life? It does make you forget about what you know about yourself and create a new life around the new people you have. That is our Yamato. But when he goes looking for the past and finds it was never there he still smiled and was actually glad to not know his parents or where he came from. And that's the moment I feel so much for him. Never mind the ... fact that he was still barely accepted in the community even after 10 years, but not knowing who gave you your name makes you wander what kind of people are they (parents)? And the way Mitsuomi realized his feelings shows how he bargained and thought too much about it without it being too sudden. In fact, their love story just comes out naturally and it was such a beautiful moment to witness. The author noted that they make up what the other lacks, and it really shows. How much their personality complemented each other that you get a warm and fuzzy feeling every time they show their vulnerable side. So so so good!

This book is without a doubt one of the best BL I've ever read.

I'm not going to get too much into the story itself, because I do not want to spoil it, but this story is very wholesome, the characters seem pretty down to earth and the scenery and environment where this story happens is amazing and comforting.

This manga is about the story of two male adults, and how their relationship develops along the story. It is a very refreshing and relaxing BL to read. In a lot of BL's, usually the characters go through destructive means to accept their sexuality and ... more often than not, hurt their other significant other. This manga does not do that, and that is very nice to see. Although they face some obstacles, in the end, they're able to be on the same page.

The art is very nice, very smooth and easy to understand.

Although the manga is fairly small (only 1 volume with 7 chapters), it completes itself in a way that you don't feel as if something else had to be added, with a really nice ending. Well, I guess it wasn't really an ending since the author wrote a continuation of this story which is also 1 volume with 7 chapters, called Restart wa Onaka wo Sukasete, which is also very good.

If you're looking for a very wholesome couple and a light read, I'd 100% recommend this book.
