That was a great conclusion! I was thoroughly impressed by how this was wrapped up! It dealt with a lot of issues that were facing the two of them coming out to their families, friends, and just out in general.  I really appreciate their love and the relationship and how it grows! Also the smut was delicious!! As was that little moment of Romeo and Juliet

If you divorce vol 1 from the rest then maybe you’re set. Also vol 3 is probably the strongest of the whole series for me.

I was a bit disappointed how short the last novel was but holy cow was this series good. The beginning was slow but overall I would not hesitate to re read this entire series again.

As I stated from the second volume book review, I never had the chance to finish reading the series beyond the first book in 2019. I think that between the three volumes, that the second one is my favorite. I did enjoy the raw emotion from this volume, it felt like it was leaping off of the page. I'm so so happy that with the rough start Naoto and Taichi had from the first book was beautifully ended in the last book. I really am glad that I stuck around to see the ending. The scene where Taichi is talking to his mom about how his relationship with Nao is no different than a "normal" relationship really moved me. It was good to see both sides of the spectrum where they were not accepted and then accepted. It's very real and when they did feel love and accepted, I felt warm.

The ending was fine I guess. Nishi didn't really get anything substantial to complete his character arc? moment? I don't know what to call it. Tachi was fine in this novel, but like they just argue so much over dumb shit and I really don't think it's cute. They're like "LOL we're in a fight cause we couldn't decide what movie to watch but we'll always make up :3" I'm just not a fan of that kind of relationship I guess. But I liked their friends and the way the story went in terms of coming out, but overall this series was just okay.

It was a nice and sweet ending to the series and tied up all the plot points nicely. It was interesting seeing the varied reactions from the protagonists family and friends, and highlights the difficulty they are feeling about their relationship quite well. All in all, it was short but sweet.

I have read volume 3 but I'm not sure if it's done already and just waiting for the volume 4. But yeah, I read this online. Only Chapter 13 and 14 though. And it was such a cliffhanger! The last update was Oct1. So I'm waiting for the next one. Nao snaps at his family because his aniki (I think or is it their father? But I think it's his bro) was saying gay people got biological disorder. He was like "So! If I say I'm like that you'll say it's an abnormality even then?!"

Yeah. It end with them saying "EEH?!" And all shocked at what he said. Lol. I need to read the next chapter! :(

3.5 Finale un po' affettato e scontato ma non mi è dispiaciuto. Fra i tre della serie è quello che mi ha colpita meno perché più breve, non succede granché. Nel complesso però mi sono affezionata molto ai personaggi di questa storia, ho gioito e sofferto con loro. È un manga di puro intrattenimento che riesce a prenderti ed emozionarti. Ci sono diverse scene di fan service ma anche un vera e propria storia d'amore che ho apprezzato molto, così come l'evoluzione del rapporto fra i protagonisti dal liceo all'università. Caldamente consigliato agli amanti dei Boy's Love
