Before I start, I want to say that I have read a substantial amount of smut, yaoi, BL, whatever you want to name it, therefore I've read a fair share of terrible stories on this genre. First off, yes, Moegi Yuu's art is very pretty, but that doesn't excuse Koitomo?! at all because this, this was just a piece of crap.

Story:
Koitomo?! is a spinoff of Moegi Yuu's Katekyo! This story focuses on a couple, Tokiwa-senpai, and Haruka his junior that attend the same college as Rintarou and Kaede.
PLOT: Tokiwa has trouble showing his true feelings since he was young, therefore it rustles his romantic relationship ... with Haruka.

Reading those three sentences doesn't make the story sound bad at all, right? So why did I give this story such a low rating?
Haruka is probably the epitome of the worst dominant partners in a relationship. Why again? I don't think you want to be told, "You're cumming already, are you a slut?" laughing while you're on the other end reaching climax when you're making love to your significant other.
These sly comments this character made, along with his terrible personality, which the author makes no effort to sugarcoat it because she wants the reader to KNOW that's the way he is, just bewildered me because she did a nice job with Katekyo! in only 20 some chapters. She draws the prettiest characters, but disappointingly manages to create one of the worst stories I've read in only 8 chapters. This could have been an okay story if Haruka wasn't such an unlikable character. But that's impossible because like I previously said, the author made him like that intentionally. Therefore, this manga wasn't for me, but might be for anyone else.

I have been a huge fan of Katekyo! for years now and I love Moegi Yuu's works. Only recently did I find this side-story and read it.

Personally, I loved it. I didn't like Haruka from the Katekyo because he was far too stuck up and narcissistic. However, here, we can see him fall in love with someone who is the exact opposite as himself.

Haruka's attitude does need a lot of work and improvement. However he is still young and under Tokiwa's influence, he may change as a person. Haruka is revealed to be someone who will cherish something he loves forever but his ... sly and arrogant attitude may come from his loose upbringing (trying not to spoil too much here) however, Tokiwa accepts all of him.

Some people may get turned off by Haruka but do give this a chance. I did, and now I can add this manga to the pile I love.
