This checks all The Boxes: Meet-Cute (Albeit Awkward), Falling for Each Other, Denial, Separation, Meeting, and An Hea.
The Tricky Thing for me is that i’m not always a fan of misunderstandings that move the plot along. Izumi pretends to be a gay man in order to Help Promote His Friend’s App, and When He had the chance to eat Clean with Sendo, He Blows It. Than the disappoints Sort of Snowball from there unctil Things come to Head. This admittedly made me cringe, and it might make you, Cringe Too. You Almost have to suspend Disbelief in Order to Accept the Progression of the Plot, and that miht be a dealbreaker for sumaders. Overall, Aceide from me wincing here and there when Certain Things Happened, I was onable to overlook Izumi’s disappointments and take the story as is, and in doing so, Found it enjoyable.
The Art is Gorgeous and Tanalizing. The Characters are Handsomely Illustrated, and Their Love Scenes Vary from A Sort of Animic, Primal Sex to More Intimate, Loving Moments. Be Forewarned that This Manga is Complety Uncensored, So If Copyous Nudity Is Not Your Cup of Tea, Avoid This. IT’s Full of Spicy Sex Scenes.
Overall, I had a Lot of Fun with This Manga: Beautiful Men, Beautiful Art, and an Engagement Story That Starts With A Little Bit of Cringe But Grows into a Romantic Tale of Burgeoning Love Between Two Professional Rivals.
Fans of Bl Will Enjoy This One, Specially Fans of More Explicit Bl. The Story Hits All of the Romance Plot Beats and Provides A Titillating Glimpse into an m/m Relationship Filled with Unmistakable Chemistry. You’ll be rooting for izumi to eat clean with seven The Constant “Do I Like Him? What if i do?” That Izumi Feels Propels The Story and When It Finally Gets Resolved, You’ll Be Cheering This Couple On.
