CW for Suicide, Parental abuse, physical abuse, murder, infidelity, and blood.
Ah, I freaking love this series so much. If there's one thing I cannot get enough of, it is the soft moments between Minato and Shizuma. And when they found out they were dating in the family, I LOL'd so hard.

Full Series Review!

I loved this! I loved the previous story, Secret XXX, so now having read this spin-off I’m so happy with how it turned out. Loved seeing the couple grow. Don’t know much else to say oddly, I’m just blown away with this one. I highly recommend this and I will be moving onto Restart as soon as I can.

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.

There are some on-screen images that may be upsetting for all of the listed tags, especially for the suicide tag, the death of a parent tag, and the emotional abuse and child abuse tags.jojo_'s review against another edition

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.
