Picked this up solely because the uke's eyes creeped me out endlessly and I had to get to the bottom of that. Very underwhelming.

Found this one to be rather simple and cute. Enjoyed all the short stories as well.

Kurz-Meinung:
In diesem Manga gibt es mehrere Kurzgeschichten. Inhaltlich sind sie sehr simple. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt immer auf der Boy Love Geschichte, die dann auch typisch japanisch ist. Sehr überspitzt und etwas merkwürdig/kinky. Der Unterton ist romantisch und Liebhaber von Boy Love Geschichten werden den Manga mögen. Allerdings vergisst man bereits nach wenigen Tagen den größten Teil des Inhalts. Es gibt hier zwar kaum explizite Zeichnungen, aber Erotik läuft immer als Unterton mit. Die Altersempfehlung 16-17 Jahre ist daher angemessen.

Meine Wertung:
(sehr knappe) 4 von 5 Sternen

This volume consists of several short stories and one graphic novella. One of the stories I actually really liked for its cleverness and warmth. But the others, especially the novella, I found lacking. I felt that the plot was not much more than an alibi for the characters to make out, and the romance itself felt rushed in every single story. Two starsfor the one story I really liked and the dialogue, which flows nicely.

My friend got this for me as a bit of a prank, but I ended up strangely liking it. Yaoi/BL is not typically something I care for, but the stories were pretty cute. Not something that I'll probably actively seek more of, but nice for a change of pace.
