Some stories are arguably cute, but some are rather weird and made me uncomfortable. I'm particularly unsettled by the third story where manipulation was treated as all fine and dandy as long as it's in the name of love; sure it's done by kids and shouldn't be taken seriously, but it still got on my nerves how the author handled that issue along with the bullying. Fourth story is the best one; the remaining are okay. I wasn't exactly blown away though.
I picked this one because the drawings were similar to Yoneda Kou's (one of my favourite mangakas) and I was positively surprised. The plot is refreshing, interesting and as for a one shots really deep, there are even turning points (yay!) also drawings are awesome and even lack of hot sex scenes isn't bothering me (well... I ablated half point because of this...).
You should read it, I truly enjoyed this one!

Oh-ho-ho-ho! I was so surprised and enchanted by chapter 3--it has a not-cute bucktooth male lead! This is def a first for me. I mean, if he were a tiny and dainty uke it would be different and he might look like a mouse, but nope. No pint size cuteness to fall back on with this kid. It threw me, but I loved it 🙂
The aaaart, my god. I really, really love Kusama Sakae's style. Sketchy while remaining coherent, and very distinctive. Also, on a purely fannish note, she draws suits and overcoats like a dream.
Oh, yeah, and there's a plot there too, isn't there. I'll it I spent most of my time staring at the art, but there's a solid yaoi story there. Very sweet, and really charming.
