*A spoiler free review*
Mitsumei is a refreshing little story about star-crossed lovers and warm feelings in cold Russian winter. It's more delicate than smutty and would be great material for BL virgins and people who love mafia or military spices in their bishounen stories.
The story and characters are surprisingly solid for a series this short. The wold feels genuine and has a strong European feeling in it. There is even a plot that actually makes sense. If something, the first half of the story is very different in tone than the latter one and trusts the reader to equally enjoy some floating fluffiness and the more thriller-like drama.
The art of Mitsumei is clean and sophisticated and the cover picture was actually the thing that drove me to read this. Like I said, suits and uniforms. Can't resist those. The main characters were super attractive and made me want to lick my screen. I tried searching more works drawn by the same artist but couldn't find any so doesn't it make this one sort of a collectors item?
In short, Mitsumei is a beautiful, timeless story about love and friendship. I would recommend it to everyone in need of a little breather story and to those who want to try very gently dipping their toes on the yaoi well.
