Was really cute and I loved the premise. I also love the trope of a really bold and a shy blushing dynamic.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC
This is a sweet stand-alone childhood best friends high school BL. It's a pretty straight-forward story of one character pining for their best friend, and the best friend trying to figure out how he feels about it. There were a few scenes that I really enjoyed where I could feel the angsting the characters were going through, and those kind of scenes are why I love reading romance.

Thank you NetGalley for my ARC!!
I really love this mangaka’s work. I love how heart-twinging the plot is cause you really never know what you’ve got until you’ve lost it—absence makes the heart grow fonder and it’s especially true for people experiencing one-sided love.

Read via NetGalley!
Not the best BL manga I've read but it is good nonetheless. It has everything you'd expect in a classic BL plot, the pining and yearning, the secret crush, the two best friends that fall in love. It was pretty easy to follow through as the plot is generic. The art though wasn't my style and I felt like some angles were kinda awkward. Overall, the art could have been more detailed!

I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.
One of the two LGBT/MM manga I requested on Netgalley. In the hopes that this would be a wholesome one, and not one of those yaoi you have too much of (aka, rape, no consent, and other shitty stuff). And I can tell you, this one was just pure wholesome and adorable. Just a tad frustrating as it takes the guys long before they confess their feelings.

I love this book so much! I am still screaming even after reading it because Kai and Ren are just TOO CUTE!!! Their love story is adorable and so youthful .//////. I can't say much more than that! I love it so much that I will reread it repeatedly.
Thank you, NetGalley and Kodansha for providing me with this e-ARC!
