This is a shojo manga from the boys POV, which was interesting in and of itself (mostly because I haven’t read anything like it yet). It follows four guys, all best friends, as they venture through love. The boys are absolutely depraved lmao. Like, they start out all sweet and adorable and then they do things that had me like HUH. But I enjoyed their dynamic together and how involved they all were in each other’s lives. This first volume focuses more on Natsuki, but I’m excited to read about everyone else too.

Unexpectedly very funny! Lots of antics going on. The characters are all distinct in personality although I found some of their designs somewhat similar. Other than that, the art was cute too!

Completely inappropriate to portray a child as an active sexual sadist. The series should be rated mature, but as an adult, I don't want to read about a child participating in BDSM. On top of that, all the characters are unlikeable.

What an unlikely group! This is supposed to be a shoujo comedy, but I didn't find it funny.
Call me a seasoned reader, or a manga trope connoisseur, but these are just the same old tired tropes that may not fit modern thinking.
The men hating lesbian, the kinky sadist, the cheating player who juggles a girlfriend rotation (and for some reason, the mc who judges this and sees himself as pure is still friends with a person like that?! 😒), the nerd (otaku) dating a cosplayer, the player getting attracted to the lesbian, etc...
What's so funny about us knowing a character is kinky with a partner consensually? And what's worse, why are kinky characters still being made to involve third parties without consent by writers, as a cheap joke?
Can we have sapphic women who doesn't hate all men?
Can we not normalise a boyfriend thinking he has the right to be mad and talk about breaking up because his girlfriend dyed her hair, and he likes black hair?
Includes short Us One Year and Afterward. I don't care about it either.
The art is nice.
I won't be continuing this.
