Second read after years. It doesn’t hold up well, but the story is still cute and wholesome enough. Seryo’s relationship with Shino rubs me off the wrong way, I want her to stay the fuck away from him. Also Shino and Natsuki’s relationship is also toxic as hell. Het people are really something else, huh.

Bon, c'est le genre de mangas qui ne casse pas trois pâtes à un canard, l'histoire est mignonne sans plus. Techniquement, ce type de volumes j'aime bien de temps en temps. C'est facile à lire et vraiment pas prise de tête du coup j'ai apprécié et j'aurais pu augmenter sa note à 3 étoiles facilement. Seulement le coup de l'édition française de mettre 25 pages de pubs à la fin je trouve cela franchement abusée !!!!! Heureusement que je l'ai emprunté et pas acheté parce que là j'aurais fait une croix sur la maison d'édition. Bref un mangas à lire quand c'est gratuit mais pas plus.

Unusually charming BL among Japanese school boys -- inexplicit, avoids usually uke/seme roles. The second volume (not yet out in English) is a little weaker and depends on forced misunderstandings, but the first volume handles the growing intimacy between the boys just right. I also like the scratchy prettiness of the art which has a slight quirky edge.

Pretty sure I'd actually read this before back in my year-long glut of manga when I first started reading it because this one gave me deja vu. Even if it was a reread though, I don't mind the time, because this two volume manga is adorable.
Seven Days is shounen-ai (aka boy love aka basically YA m/m romance). Shino's pretty popular with girls because he's cute and really good at archery and the girls way outnumber the guys at his school. He likes them okay but he hates that they always end up dumping him because he's not the perfect prince they were expecting.
One day, on a whim, he asks out Seryou, a kouhai (aka younger student), who dates the first person to ask him out every week. Shino meant it as a joke, but Seryou takes him seriously, walking him home everyday and buying him food. This premise is super cute, and I like how neither of them really freaks out about the idea of dating a guy: it just kind of happens. Also, it's nice how they accept each other without that expectation of perfection.
What holds this manga back from being a favorite is how much it relies on Seryou and Shino not communicating. They constantly say things because they're upset at the romance having an expiration date that end up hurting the other person and making it seem like they want the romance to end when they don't. USE YOUR WORDS, CHILDREN.
You pretty much get what you want from this story, though: cute boys kissing and being precious.

That was cute, I didn't particulary like artwork very much, but the volume was lovely. There isn't much plot going on and it definitely has some insta-love vibes but the whole thing was cute and sweet. Also I'm reading vol 2 right after finishing typing this review because I need to know what will happen on Friday-Sunday;)
