Official English Translation 2j1t3b
Akihito Kuze used to have such a radiant smile; his face would glow and the warmth of his grin was contagious. But ever since moving into his parents' manor, that gleaming smile is nowhere to be seen. What's more, every night, there are shady men coming and going, in and out of Akihito's home... Gotaro Sumeragi is the handsome young patrol officer assigned to put an end to any vices occurring in the Manor. And for this purpose, Sumeragi's crafty Superior Officer arranges for Gotaro to move right into the wolf's den: the Kuze Manor! Will things become easier for Gotaro now that his prime subject is quite literally in the next room? Or will cohabiting makes things a little more... complicated? And... will Gotaro ever be able to see Akihito's warm smile? (From Futekiya)
1 Volume (Complete)

A simple yet captivating tale about how finding love may be groundbreaking. I loved how Gou and Akihito's relationship remained undeviating, they're so well suited to each other—not to mention how adorable they and incredibly gorgeous characters they were!
Reading Minta's writing is intriguing, especially the way she designs her characters and her artwork. I will absolutely read all of her pieces.

All the author works are so good. The plot, the fluff, the smut and not to mention really good art. I love when the author put in ing girl characters in all his/her works.
I love it. They are so freaking adorable, they're perfect for each other. The relationship they have is literally so much couple goals. Liked seeing this from Seme’s pov too!

Because it's healthy and not toxic
I love healthy and healing relationships so it's a big win for me
Totally recommend + it's deserve better rating
I really wanted to like this, but I found Sumeragi's behavior off-putting from the start. He treats Akihito very disrespectfully, and it's played like he's some kind of saviour. On top of that, the narrative feels all over the place. Weird pacing, difficult to follow what's happening sometimes. Too much exposition in some areas, then none where it's needed. I'm disappointed because I really like this author's other works.

Idk I felt nothing towards the characters unlike with Kimi ga Kawaii Riyuu. The art is still good, Akihito's character is my type but I remain unconvinced of the cop's character after reading it twice now. Bonus points for the pretty uncle though lol.
The strong plot, good storytelling and complex characters make this work really enjoyable. It's a bit bitter, slow romance, between two people who met by coincidence, people with a past and certain responsibilities. They can gain from this love but they can also loose a lot (I mean a police officer involved with a minor of the same sex, it could ruin one's future, on the other hand young master of a famous kimono shop, involved with a man - it could also ruin the image of the shop, the business that existed for generations). Well it's a type of work where you can read between the lines. I like smart stories with depth, so I had a lot of fun reading this one, through I thought it will be a cliche story, thankfully it wasn't. The plot is unique enough to make you this manga for a long time. And I liked ing characters.
More importantly the art is much better than the picture on the cover, so yes, I think I'll check other works of SUZUMARU sensei. I hope they are around this level.
A nice and sweet manga. I also lol'd and did a double take when I saw Akihito's name. I was like "...Akihito doesn't have glasses and isn't an uke!" Maybe he's a descendant lol. (Katsuragi did manage to be the head of Kanemoto Spinning...)
I do agree that some parts were a little drawn out. The will-they-won't-they angle is frustrating and unnecessary. Maybe if the manga spent more time in the beginning building more romantic chemistry (and sexual tension) then I would care about if they eventually do the deed or not. The uncle character was a super charming bonus and now I want a manga about him lol.
Also, we needed WAY more instances of Goutarou in his cop uniform. I only got to see it like three times. If he's gonna be a cop, we at least need as much uniform service as possible!
and cop play. not gonna lie, that would have been fucking hot
I rated this story so poorly because there was nothing interesting about it. It was plain boring and there was no reason to dedicate a whole volume for such a weak love-story. What purpose did the introduction of Gou's family and Akihito's uncle serve? Why did they have to wait for months to do adult stuff -not just sex but also dates and kisses- even though their love was concrete? It makes people wonder, do Japanese people read these mangas?
It's not a groundbreaking story and characters aren't exactly most inspiring, but I still like the main couple's dynamics and find them a good fit for each other. The fact that they both grew to care for one another and for themselves is just so sweet and endearing it's impossible to hate on such a thing. The art is also very good, and the mangaka's chibi drawings helped to add a touch of humour to the story, which I love.
On an unrelated note I chuckled a bit at "Kuze Akihito" because that's literally also the name of the main character in Yuuutsu na Asa which is like one of my favourite manga series of all time lol.
