Personally speaking, I wouldn't say that this manga is realistic. Although it is more realistic than other manga, it still has the usual unrealistic story progression of a manga. I really wish they had base the story on real people instead of an idealistic view of how people go through a gender and sexuality identification and acceptance.
Overall, the story is creative. Not exactly unique but creative. The author has put in a lot of thoughts to both the story and the art to draw out the best of the characters and their emotions. It is one of the few Shounen Ai manga drawn in a Shounen demographic art style.
