Will two guys who are unlucky in love be able to fall in love in 7 days?

The story takes place in a week, from Monday to Sunday. It is a light, beautiful and realistic work, excellent to start reading BL. I loved the purity and representation of love. It is intriguing and it will hook you, you will not stop reading, because you will be wanting to know what the outcome will be... The story flows at a good pace, without becoming heavy.

What is it that makes us fall in love with a person? Does love really go beyond physical attraction? Shino constantly wonders, as ... all of her relationships go wrong. A pretty face or a pretty body is not everything.

Takes affection for the protagonists, because they are close and real. There is no development of secondary characters, since they hardly intervene, so the story focuses only on the two of them.

Both the author Tachibana and the cartoonist Takarai did a great job, even though they were newbies.

I really enjoyed this manga. Highly recommended, especially if you are starting in the world of BL.

So I am writing this review as a gay teen and the story first of all is little bit unrealistic of course all bl is unrealistic but people claim this story is realistic but I don't find that and second thing is that this shit bored the f*** out of me I am not even kidding it's just boring I think the people who like this story are the older fuJoshis you know from the early 2010s they didn't had lots of bl so they had to settle down for whatever they got and this is one of the stories this is very very simple ... it is very overhyped and overrated the art is pretty good and I was reading this Manga while hearing the drama CD but still I just didn't feel like connecting to the story this was just plain and overhyped the thing I like about this Manga is both men are not dominant or submissive that's the realistic part of this Manga that there is no top or the bottom concept in this Manga which is what I love overall pretty good manga which not looking for deeper stuff or people who wants more story along with romance

I think I'm going to be a minority voice here, but I didn't much care for this two volume series. I used to be a pretty big Yaoi fan in my teens, but once I hit twenty, I got kinda tired of the same plot rehashed over and over (which is what every subsequent book DMP released felt like). However, I kept hearing rave reviews for Seven Days, and I had to admit my curiosity was piqued.

After reading both books, I found the story to be very par for the course once again. It's cute, but nothing so amazing that it could get me ... back into the genre. I'd go into the plot, but that small blurb up at the top covers it quite well. Character wise, I didn't find either too likeable as one was more like a doormat (and an admitted Masochist, so I suppose he's in character in that case :/ Meh.) and the other's big reveal is that he has a pissy personality and is an insensitive jerk. These flaws could've been saved in my eyes if it weren't for the biggest offender in this situation: the translation.

I am now convinced that DMP had the worse translation team in the market. The dialogue was flat and lacked personality. I also felt like the break up of dialogue between word bubbles were a bit too unnatural. It was offensive enough (to me anyway) to want to go back and smooth the dialogue over more. It felt like an unpolished scanlation, which makes me sad cause I spend about $24 procuring these books. Now, I can understand that there's a very vocal majority who likes their manga as trans-literal as possible and Yaoi is still a niche market and I can see DMP catering to that if that really is the case...but as for me, I'll be passing on any further purchases from that label. I knew they had this problem before when they first started, but I guess I had hoped that they had gotten better. Oh well, ebay here I come...
