Rough start but honestly very sweet by the end. It takes them a while to get on the same page, but once they start communicating and spending more time together, Yoshino and Kota ended up being quite good together. Enjoyed this a lot more than I expected haha!

Seriously one of the best BL I have read in ages, if across all time! The depth to the characters is astounding, their friendship is so sweet and believable, and they have rich internal lives as well. This mangaka is truly the master of weaving sweet, funny stories together with just the best characters! There's only a little smut towards the very end but it's really just the cherry on top of this sweet fun read.

It is RIDICULOUS how cute and fun and yes steamy this was. Kyohei and Sakuya are so disgustingly in love, start to finish, but there is so much growth in the depth and understanding of that love over the course of the manga and their open lines of communication are so wonderful to witness them establish. Plus! Gotta love the rare BL vers couple. So good and well worth the price!

Super sweet, super fun. Very lighthearted with a good mix of fluff and spice. A good handful of fun (and supportive!) side characters too!

3.5 stars, rounded down. I like the art a lot and the two mains are quite fun and play off each other well, but it was sort of a bland story though, not much character development and not much by way of side characters. The moments of sweetness and tenderness between the boys were wonderful, however, and the mangaka talks about how this story was basically just them having fun with their favorite tropes, which actually made me enjoy it more in a way too, knowing they had a good time.

4.5 stars, rounded up to 5! If you like a soft, casual read about well-rounded, realistic characters with a great friends-to-lovers/summer romance slow burn, this is for sure for you. The price tag had me a bit apprehensive at first but the relatable premise and great art made me take the plunge. Both Saeki and Today are extremely charming boys whose friendship is not only fun and believable but also just so clearly important to the both of them. This story explores the lines and grey areas between friendship, memory, and romantic feelings, and does it pretty well. Will warn readers, this is just a feels fest, there is no smut. Still a great read, I enjoyed it quite thoroughly!

So sweet and cute with just enough spice! An extremely soft strangers* to lovers story that's very wistful and a little sad, but has more than enough fluff to make up for it! ??

The actual cutest shit. Top tier adorableness. There aren't enough words to describe how freaking sweet this is. The story is offbeat and it knows it, and the humor is just on point, plus the leads are just great together. Cannot recommend this enough of you like funny, fluffy, low-stakes friends to lovers stories that are a blast to read.

An absolute treat the entire way through. Adorable, sexy art, and the building relationship between the leads is fun and heart-felt, with a little surprise twist. I've already re-read this whole story three times and I just love it.

The tonal whiplash is absolutely wild, but I genuinely enjoy both of the leads and their bonkers out there relationship and antics. Great art and a lot of fun, rating four stars due to haywire, inconsistent pacing and some messy story beats, but still a wild smutty time!
