Artstyle and MCs are hot but rapid pacing and split personality plot is kind of confusing and nonsensical. Way more sexual assault flashbacks than I expected too. Glad I only rented the first four chapters, not worth buying IMO.

I couldn't enjoy it as much as the other reviewers. Yes, the art is pretty and the historical setting is interesting, but the plot is even more depressing than I expected and a lot of the detail of things like poetry is lost in translation. If you enjoy court intrigue series like Empresses In The Palace you would likely enjoy this. If you hate watching the aristocracy be horrible and murderous to each other, you won't.

Nice art but just full of sexual assault in each story. You can tell it started as a one-shot then got expanded because character backstory keept changing and contradicting what had been established in the first chapter. Basically regret the money I spent on it, nothing special and wouldn't re-read.

Love love love to see a manga where the characters are actually gay and have realistic high school experiences rather than some "it's only okay if it's you!" bullshit. Both hot and relatable.

Funny and relatable! I really felt for the MC and enjoyed the story even though I usually avoid straight romance manga. I liked that it had realistic-feeling adult characters, but deducting a star because it ended too suddenly. It felt like it was intended to be a longer serialization. One reviewer said it felt rushed but to me it just felt incomplete, like the final chapter was never actually intended to be the last one but the mangaka had to stop for some other reason.

The couple on the cover and preview are only in the first and last chapters. I liked their story, but the entire rest of the (pretty expensive) volume is a collection of one-shots, most of which I didn't like at all so I was disappointed.

Nice plot and characterization with lots of enthusiastic consensual sex, but had to deduct stars because for me the sex scenes weren't hot at all - the reverse of the problem most yaoi have!Cutesy art for some characters as seen in previews didn't bother me, but during the sex scenes it shifted to a typical hentai sort of style, with lots of distracting agehao faces and sound effects crowding the entire page. If you're okay with this you might really like this manga, as I otherwise really enjoyed it, but personally I ended up just skimming past most of the sex scenes.A second couple are the focus for a third of the book. I was apprehensive since I thought it was going to be uncomfortably shotacon, but the characters genuinely felt like real adults - it was nice to see them opening up about problems it had caused them because I have a 27-year-old friend who went through some of the same issues.Hope this helps any potential readers! For me it was a fun romcom but that's all.
