During his high school years, Keita was slender and had feminine features, but he fell in love with Satoshi, an upperclassman who had the lean, masculine physique he dreamed of. Keita confessed and perhaps due to his beautiful, girly looks, they started going out. Three years later, their relationship is as strong as ever, and they currently live together like newlyweds. However, there was one big change...! Keita had matured into a manly guy! Because Satoshi used to be straight, Keita begins to wonder what his boyfriend thinks about the situation, even when they're having sex...
A reversible couple in a manga?! Call me impressed. Usually you would see this only in stories from Western countries for some reason. I love it, it feels much more realistic since so many real life same-sex couples are reversible. I did find it funny though how Keita was convinced his boyfriend was straight. No straight guy would be f*** a guy for years, enjoy it, be in love with him etc, lol. That's a bi guy for you. I love the story and I definitely recommend it :)
Es un manga ligero, dulce y divertido, sobre una pareja que llevan varios años juntos. Este tomo toca el tema tabú de que pasa cuando una pareja quiere jugar a cambiar las reglas del sexo, normalmente es algo que a las mangakas les prohíben tocar pero esta autora decidió que quería asumir lo que significaba para una pareja explorar la sexualidad desde ese nuevo punto de vista (vamos, darle la vuelta al activoVSpasivo) pero de un modo dulce.
very romantic for a Yaoi great book it made me feel very jealous of the main characters and realize how badly I just want to be loved and protected to be held and cherished
(Llegits els 3 volums d'aquesta història) Maquíssim BL que s'origina com un amor d'institut, però que evoluciona per mostrar-nos una relació preciosa, sana i sense masculinitat fràgil ♥ El Keita, típic adolescent bufó amb una fisonomia molt femenina i obertament gai, s'enamora bojament del Satoshi, típic estudiant un any més gran hetero, gamberro i musculat. Pim-pam, acaben sortint i el Keita adopta el paper de passiu, mentre que el Satoshi, d'actiu. Passen 3 anys i el cos del Keita s'ha transformat gràcies a la seva feina de guixaire: ara és un noi alt, fort i corpulent, com el seu ideal de parella. Mentrestant, el Satoshi és un estudiant d'arquitectura centrat en el seu futur. Un dia, el Keita sent el desig de girar els rols de la relació, cosa que li crea un dilema per por que el Satoshi el vulgui deixar (recordem que és hetero i aquest recel sempre hi és). Al llarg dels volums acabem descobrint com els protagonistes exploren el rol versàtil i la seva relació es va enfortint amb molt d'amor, comunicació i respecte per l'altre.
Established couple, although it does show a bit of how they met in school, how one confessed to the other, and how the previous-twink had to be prepared for their first time together, but all of these flashes were short. It is a cute manga, the art is nice and the chemistry btw the leads is good. The main issue for this story was that Keita, always the bottom, is all grown up and bigger, and he is a bit insecure now since Satoshi "was not gay" when they started going out, and now that Keita looks no longer cute, does Satoshi still like him? And besides, for the first time, Keita wants to be the top, but Satoshi is a bit hesitant. Of course it all ends well, so yay, like other reviewers say, a reversible couple is always welcomed since they are so rare.
Idk why Volumes 2 & 3 aren't here, but, regardless, this is one of the best manga I've read in a long time. Their communication skills are 11/10 and the smut is actually tasteful (the bar is in hell for BLs but still). And I genuinely love the random lore drops and the fact that, towards the end, they're been together for 5 years. AND LIKE, THE VISIT TO GRANDMA'S?? THAT WAS SO BITTERSWEET AND WILL HAUNT ME TIL THE REST OF MY DAYS WHILE REMAINING SUPER HOPEFUL AND SWEET?!?!?! THE HIGH-KEY PROPOSAL??? LIKE?!?! 😭😭😭😭😭
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
this was so precious! loved it! been reading some really smutty and drama filled yaoi recently, so this was a very welcomed change^^
the story was pretty, even though nothing much was happening, but it was easy flow and interesting. very nicely drawn, actually beautiful drawings, both characters were very drool worthy :)
I am pretty sure I will come back to this manga to re-read when I need something sweet and fluffy!
I am not usually into sweet, vanilla stories, but this manga is so beautiful, that five stars are even not enough to describe how much I like it. And it's not only because of them switching, they were not toxic, so lovable and in the same time the story was pretty realistic. Just in general they gave me nice, warm feeling every time I was reading.
Keita and Satoshi have been dating since High School and now 4 years later are still going strong... this was cute and fluffy while showing that relationships evolve
This series is my all time favourite yaoi series! it's much more realistic than a lot of yaoi and it is a switch couple! fucking love it! Only downside of this is the trope on one of the guys being «straight» even while in a gay relationship and while being sexually attracted to the other guy. My dude, you are not straight you are bi, gay or some other orientation, but not straight!
