For four years, Naruse was swept up in his love for his novelist boyfriend, Toui. But tiring of his flightiness and lack of commitment, Naruse finally walks away from his relationship. Or at least, he tries to. Every time he runs into Toui, they seem to get tangled in one another's emotions and end up sleeping together. They argue and fight, then afterwards comes the pang of regret. Maybe their relationship is doomed to fail. Or maybe, it just needs a new angle.
This story might seem quite ordinary on the surface; break-ups happen all the time. But it repays several readings as there's some subtle writing (and drawing) conveying the characters' complicated feelings and reactions. By the time you reach the bitter-sweet last chapter (and the bonus content) it's impossible not be moved. This is one of those rare Boys' Love manga where the sex scenes not only feel earned but are well drawn to reflect the characters' feelings. Recommended. Read Full Review
