This was such a good follow up to the first volume. It’s pure serotonin! I loved that this picked up right where the first one left off and it jumped right into the story. I really liked that we got to see so much of Mito and Shohei (from Secret XXX) and Shizuma’s friends. They all where rooting for Shizuma and Minato in their own ways and I really loved that.
Shizuma and Minato are both so cute and they are adorable together. Also, the fact that Minato was overthinking everything, when he’s the more confident and experienced one in the relationship? It was just so good! I loved that he was able to (finally) share his anxieties with Shizuma. And Shizuma was so sweet and maybe a little oblivious at times, but damn if he didn’t have some serious game through this whole book. Honestly, they are complete opposites and they work so well together. All in all, this was a fantastic volume and I can’t wait for the next one! This is getting a solid five stars.

This may have been the BEST manga Duology I have EVER read!
Not only did the characters communicate their problems but some bonuses:
- Strong family relationships
- Actual discussion about bisexuality ( though there was some biphobia, it was called out.)
- Use of Condoms and seen clearly in the artwork.
- The artwork was GORGEOUS.
- Grumpy x Sunshine
Minato is one of my FAVOURITE characters to ever exist.
