Ok, it's a cute story with a super sweet ending, but man the first two chapters are really tough: Dub-con, the classic and exhausting trope “but we're both dudes!,” and lastly (& most egregious), the ol' “I'm a sex-addict.- I'll cure you!” garbage. Can't we move on to the real world yet? You know, where most folks enjoy sex and don't have to be “sex addicts,” and sometimes they happen to be gay too?! Some time this decade, please!

This is a love story, pure and simple. It's beautiful and well worth the read!

Cute, consensual, and a tad chaotic. The story is pretty short and there's very little character development, but you want to root for the couple anyway. Worth the read, I just wish there was a rent instead of buy option…

OMG, the cutest!!! The art is fab, the characters develop slowly and gracefully, totally consensual, and a very accepting LGBTQ storyline overall. Buy it!!!

Cute story but the writing doesn't fully connect all the way through; the dialogue is disjointed in a way that makes you have to do some of the work to figure out what's going on… it's a little annoying. Otherwise it's a nice adult love story with nice art and no non-con (thank goodness). Rent, don't buy.

Sooooo good! Thoughtful story telling with great character development, plus everything is consensual and adorable. Super recommend!!

This is a really sweet story with only a few problematic elements. There's the fairly standard gay-denying (But we're both guys?! nonsense), some non-consensual activity, and of course the victim blaming (“But you're too cute”, “I can't control myself” or “I should have fought you more” garbage). But there's also really nice character development, vulnerability, and range. Would be nice to read a sequel...

Soooooo sweet, great story telling, lovely art, no funny business. Totes worth the read!

This is a good one: it's a sweet love story, very creative, there's consent, and the characters are adorable (and both are adults). Worth the read!

I appreciate the Lingua Dolce story because none of the characters hem and haw about “are they gay?” or “is it weird cuz I'm a dude and he's a dude?” Thank goodness! Just regular ppl being around other ppl not in hetero-normative relationships. My only complaint is that the main character, Keito, loses some of his agency and confidence when faced with slightly aggressive younger suitors. Why? Normally he's a talented, confident, business savvy guy, then he suddenly gets teenaged-confused when slightly larger, sexually aggressive love interests make moves....I don't get it.Overall, lovely story, lovely art, and the vast majority of the sexual interactions are consensual (hooray!). I highly recommend it.
