I love this book.

Yes, yes I know there are two. The first one is funny, sexy, hard core and all sorts of awesome. The second was obviously and after thought, and only worth the read because it kinda continues the sory of two pretty awesome characters.

The story is common in BL - a younger, angstier sibling falls in love with the older, fluffier brother. The younger one can't deal with it, and ends up ignoring the older one for years.

Cue a resolution, where the younger ends up forcing himself on the older, lots of hot sex, and eventually the older realises that ... his love for the younger is not brotherly.

It is incredibly simplistic, and accurate as far as it goes. But! I really like this one. The characters love eachother. They think things through.

The art is cute, the sex scenes are very hot, and I liked it so much I tracked down a supplier and bought the hardcopy :-)

English version:
The first book is intense and sexy, focusing a lot on the sexual impotence of both characters and how they got over it in each other. The design bothered me a lot because the design is from old yaoi, with thin exaggerated faces and giant hands (after all, I without realizing it got used to the new patterns that exist in webtoons and manhwas). However, later I readapted and finally became more involved in the story.
The second book is very interesting, as it served to develop their relationship, which at the beginning, seemed to be all about sex. What they proved to the reader ... to be wrong by showing that they really love each other.
It's a captivating story, lasting 11 full chapters, showing good maturity (letting go of forgetting that their relationship didn't start off in the healthiest way possible).

Portuguese version:
O primeiro livro é intenso e sexy, focando bastante na impotência sexual de ambos os personagens e como eles superaram isso um no outro. O desenho me incomodou bastante pois os traços são de yaoi antigo dos anos 90, com rostos finos exagerados e mãos gigantes, afinal, eu sem perceber me acostumei com os novos padrões que existem nas webtoons e manhwas. Porém, depois eu fui me readaptando e, por fim, fiquei mais envolvida na história.
O segundo livro, é bem interessante, pois serviu para desenvolver o relacionamento deles que no começo, parecia se resumir ao sexo. O que eles provaram ao leitor ser errado ao mostrarem que se amam de verdade.
É uma história cativante, que dura 11 capítulos inteiros, apresenta uma maturidade boa (deixando esquecer que o relacionamento dos dois não começou da forma mais saudável possível).
