Not a bad story about two fellows meeting up on a matched date. I like the fact the relationship was steady then them just jump right onto the next stage! Although there was a little misunderstanding but both Bois understood each other so yeah again, the story is good enough!

Adorable, so simple but such a great story

I have no idea why I didn't read this sooner!! It's by the same person who did Rutta to Kodama, which is one of my all-time favorite mini-BL series. And this one is just as soft and wholesome as that one!

In this story, we follow two older men who end up going to a matchmaking event hosted at a bar owned by a recently married gay couple. After matching up, the two go on a few dates and talk about their aspirations for the future and just ADORABLE. It lacks all the desperation and need of sex that your usual yaoi manga features with younger dudes (though there is sex). And I just really enjoyed that it featured something that I don't really see in BL titles: gay marriage and logical planning of a future

In a word: Read the thing. This is a bit of a different sort of yaoi manga. For me, anyway. I haven’t really come across any other yaoi that focuses so completely on marriage; possibly because it wasn’t an option for so long. Anyway, Ryousuke is 29 years old and really wants to settle down with someone and start a family. He has a hard time meeting people on the same page, so he decides to go to a matchmaking party held by his newly-married friend. That’s where he meets Shun. Ryousuke and Shun pick each other as matches at the end of the party and so decide to start dating with the goal of marriage. This story is pretty go-with-the-flow and calming, with really only one scene with any drama. Ryousuke and Shun take some time to get to know each other and decide whether they think they’d like to spend their lives together. Over the course of a few dates, Ryousuke realizes that he’s starting to fall in love with Shun, and that he actually would like to get married to him. The whole focus of the story is on Ryousuke and Shun slowly feeling each other out and growing closer. It’s not really a slow-burn, but it’s definitely slower than the average romance. Or maybe that it’s just a case where the feelings start growing after the couple gets together instead of the other way around. Either way, it’s a smooth, calm read with some good messages and a good romance. This tone even extends to the sex scenes between Ryousuke and Shun (of which there are two). There’s also a bit of humour injected here and there with Ryousuke’s friend, who is pretty unapologetically shameless. It’s great. (This manga has only been released in Japanese, though there are unofficial English translations available online.)

Ryousuke se acerca a los 30 y termina yendo a una reunion de emparejamiento gay de su amigo para encontrar un compañero de vida. Allí, él es atraído por los hermosos ojos de Shun. Los dos se acercan a medida que pasan más tiempo juntos, pero ¿qué tipo de secreto esconde Shun?.

Una historia muy sencilla pero muy bonita y tierna, un romance que se cuece a fuego lento.

Mi frase favorita la dijo Shun: "... El género de la persona que amas no importa". En contexto es mucho mas bonito, pero si, amé a Shun y a Ryousuke, de mis parejas favoritas del manga.

[Elizabeth Soto · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tiene una linda trama, es un poco extraña en el inicio, pero es bastante dulce, sin dramas innecesarios, pero lo suficientemente dramático para que sea entretenido y valga la pena.

De lectura rápida y sin estereotipos marcados sobre el uke y el seme en la pareja-

Ryosuke Ogitsu will soon be turning 30, so he decides it's time he finds a man to settle down with and attends a speed dating event hosted by his friend Kirito. He's looking for a partner who's only interested in men. He meets Shun Kariya, a man with beautiful eyes who gazes earnestly at Ryosuke from behind his long bangs… Their relationship starts off a little slow and awkward, but they gradually close the distance between themselves. Ryosuke starts feeling like Shun might be the one, not realizing that Shun's got a big secret…!

Es una historia muy linda, me gustó que se representará el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo además de hablar sobre tener una familia ya sea adoptando o por un vientre de alquiler, en muchos mangas yaoi están los típicos conflicto cliché de "no podemos casarnos porque somos dos hombres" "te deje por una mujer para tener hijos", obviamente es un manga más actual y me encantó que se hablara de la homosexualidad con naturalidad sin tanta homofobia y miedo por expresarse tal y como son.

[OtterM · Rating 4 out of 5]

If we forget all the pressure from families and society, do you still have a dream of having a marriage? Even if you don't have a specific person to love at the moment? A lonely story of two lonely guys who are desperate to enter a marriage. Not a bad one, tbh.

Cute

Molto bello, peccato che sia stato anche molto breve.

[Andràș-Florin Răducanu · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was quite good, if a little too rushed and simplistic in some aspects.

[CARLYN · Rating 3 out of 5]

El final se sintió que habia varios puntos sin concluir. Además el secreto... No se. Me gusto, pero no estaba tan convencida con la trama.

It's cute, las razones del uke para ser tan extremista me parecen infantiles pero aún así puedo entenderlo.

[Nix Buttons · Rating 4 out of 5]

A slow and sweet story about a kind of arranged marriage. Easy to read with a nice atmosphere.
