I liked this volume better then the first! I liked watching these two develop, and grow together. The art is so pretty, but I wish I liked the actual story more.

💚ugh I love Shizuma & Minato together 🫶🏼

💚no one can get a hold of Shizuma so Minato looks to Shizuma’s friends for some help in finding him

💚Minato ends up finding Shizuma somewhere unexpected (it is so 🥹 once you find out where & why) 

💚Minato’s traumatic past gets revealed & he opens up about how that made him reluctant to get close & fall for anyone 

 💚Shizuma talks with him & lets him know how cared for he is & is really caring for him

💚”Please choose me” 🥺 “I give you my everything”

💚there’s also some spicy spice between them 😮‍💨🔥

💚we get to see more of Shizuma’s friends & brother & Minato’s friends & brother too (along with some exes from each of them 👀) 

💚Minato struggles with things he isn’t used to from being in a serious relationship & has worries that get fueled by others about Shizuma being bisexual

💚”touch what’s mine again & youll regret it” 👏🏼

💚Minato has a hard time opening up how he feels to Shizuma & Shizuma does some looking up on his own to try to understand how Minato might struggle

💚they both have an honest conversation which is good to see I felt this was a very real depiction of how relationships can be sometimes. it also shows how when your partner gets really busy with work/school/life/etc can make things feel hard & distant but that making time for each other still & being patient & understanding is important ☺️

💚Shizuma “punishing” Minato for not being 100% truthful in the bedroom 😩🙌🏼

💚and one of my fav parts is toward the end when Shizuma shows Minato something he saw & how he’d like to grow old together & the matching sweaters 🤭 just read it so you can see what I mean it’s so cute (and funny) 

~

💚okay I love themmm & I am for sure gonna jump into the restart volumes to get more of them together 🥰

Schon bei Teil 1 hatte ich leider Probleme manche Charaktere auseinander zu halten und Sprechblasen richtig zuzuordnen. Gerade am Anfang des Mangas ging es mir hier leider auch wieder so. Ab der Mitte wurde es etwas besser, weil ich dann sicherer mit den Namen und Zuordnungen wurde.
Der Band war wieder sehr emotional. Minato zweifelt stark, ob er Shizuma genug sein kann auf längere Zeit. Shizuma hatte ja vorher nur Beziehungen mit Frauen und daher fürchtet Minato, dass er eines Tages dann doch lieber wieder eine Frau haben möchte. Er frisst diese Ängste eine ganze Weile in sich hinein und es gibt dadurch Konflikte, die wirklich schön erzählt werden im Manga. Ich mag die zwischenmenschlichen Interaktionen der Haupt- aber auch der Nebencharakter.
Es wird hier eine schöne emotionale und trotzdem sehr sexy Geschichte erzählt.
Der Erotikanteil nimmt zum Ende hin noch einmal enorm zu, aber der ist auch wirklich toll gezeichnet. Es gibt hier keine lästige Zensur. Die 'empfohlen ab 18' Deklarierung sollte man also auf jeden Fall beachten!
Neben der großartigen erotischen Szenen, ist aber auch alles andere am Zeichenstil grandios umgesetzt. Die eher androgynen Gesichter und schönen, schwungvollen Frisuren haben einen hohen Wiedererkennungswert. Auch sonst glänzt der Zeichenstil mit Abwechslung, Dynamik und auch witzigen Szenen.
Ich kann die Reihe bzw. die Mangaka sehr empfehlen.

Story 4,0/5
Emotionen 4,4/5
Charaktere 4,6/5
Unterhaltung 4,0/5
Zeichenstil 4,4/5
Erotik 5+/5
Lesegefühl 4,0/5
Gesamt 4,0/5
