Meguru Hinohara

Big jump up in rating from vol. 1 to 2...in her afterward the mangaka mentions that she was really waiting to get to where the plot goes in vol. 2, and I can totally see that passion in this volume! Hot, sweet, and kept surprising me with the smart turns in conversation and the satisfying way characters react to and address parts of the story.

I can't give up on "genre BL" because I find these gems like these sometimes!

Tbh I went in thinking I was not going to like this one, as it is not my usual type of thing. It was more comedic than I expected, which definitely helped as I am a sucker for comedy BL every once in a while, and the pitfalls I expected when I read the summary were fairly well-avoided. I thought it was going to be super spicy because of the M rating, but it must be a rating for the overall series as this had basically no spicy scenes at all (yet.)

A very pretty manga with a fun cast, but the pacing is a bit all over the place.

Another gorgeously drawn and written volume in this wonderful series! I absolutely adore this! Looking forward to the sequel!
