Summary

Reporter Onoe and photographer Kaburagi constantly bicker and argue on their stakeouts， but will their antagonistic behavior paradoxically evolve into something sweeter？

Satoshi Onoe， a reporter for a weekly magazine， has a new stakeout partner， and he’s anything but thrilled about it。 Photographer Motoharu Kaburagi’s unconventional reporting methods and overall bad attitude are enough to drive Onoe insane。 But the more the two work together， the closer they get。

Kaburagi and Onoe still bicker constantly， but at the end of the day they’re firmly in love。 But suddenly Kaburagi’s sister Noriko shows up！ Apparently， the two of them don’t get along very well…or at all， really。 But Noriko does manage to hit it off with Onoe， and the two start hatching plots to knock Kaburagi’s ego down a peg or three…

5/5InstagramBook TikTokThis was an absolutely amazing read。 I just love how light and airy Natsume keeps her characters and the surroundings。 In this volume we get to delve deeper into Kabu’s and Onoe’s relationship both professionally and romantically。 Oh and of course we have an unexpected visitor in Kabu’s sister and I just loved all the mischief she got up to。 It also gave us a chance to see a little into Kabu’s childhood and kind of understand his nonchalant demeanor。What was really importa 5/5InstagramBook TikTokThis was an absolutely amazing read。 I just love how light and airy Natsume keeps her characters and the surroundings。 In this volume we get to delve deeper into Kabu’s and Onoe’s relationship both professionally and romantically。 Oh and of course we have an unexpected visitor in Kabu’s sister and I just loved all the mischief she got up to。 It also gave us a chance to see a little into Kabu’s childhood and kind of understand his nonchalant demeanor。What was really important to me was the consistent character growth and relationship growth。 In the first manga we saw Onoe constantly try to one-up Kaburagi。 Not taking into consideration that Kabu struggles with all the lying and stake-outs a reporter deals with。 In this volume， Onoe is trying harder to understand the very aloof Kabu and so he decides to take one of “undercover” missions to help carry Kabu’s burden。Of course does he tell Kabu that doing this project alone is to help him？ Hahah - hell no。The biggest relationship growth is the lack of communication and understanding that doing something you think is nice and helpful might not be taken that way by the other individual。 Onoe and Kabu definitely have a long way to go and their communication Is a little lack-luster but they are trying and in doing so are growing closer。 。。。more

Onoe and Kaburagi are everything to me。 love how they deal with their feelings and even there's a miscommunication，things go well in the end。 Because they both love each other and believe in each other。 Onoe and Kaburagi are everything to me。 love how they deal with their feelings and even there's a miscommunication，things go well in the end。 Because they both love each other and believe in each other。 。。。more

Lovely storyI really enjoyed this story， no you tropes but fell in love not homophobic comments which I love and the story is different and fresh。 Would have love a longer série。

Elaine White ，

Loved this volume。 I can see why the author intended it to be the last， but I'm also really happy there's more。 I was a bit iffy， in Volume 1 about it being insta-love， but I love the struggles they go through as they continue hanging out and learning about each other。 Loved this volume。 I can see why the author intended it to be the last， but I'm also really happy there's more。 I was a bit iffy， in Volume 1 about it being insta-love， but I love the struggles they go through as they continue hanging out and learning about each other。 。。。more

One word to describe how I feel about Kaburagi and Onoe: KYAH。This is seriously my favorite romance trope: the loud-mouth sensitive guy with the stone-faced softie guy。 Onoe is one of my favorite bottoms in any BL manga。 I loved this volume because we were introduced to Kaburagi's sister， who has a spunky personality and is determine to embarrass her brother。 And I love seeing Kaburagi get jealous of Masa-yan。 And the chief being sneaky like the best kind of way。 Reading this volume has left my One word to describe how I feel about Kaburagi and Onoe: KYAH。This is seriously my favorite romance trope: the loud-mouth sensitive guy with the stone-faced softie guy。 Onoe is one of my favorite bottoms in any BL manga。 I loved this volume because we were introduced to Kaburagi's sister， who has a spunky personality and is determine to embarrass her brother。 And I love seeing Kaburagi get jealous of Masa-yan。 And the chief being sneaky like the best kind of way。 Reading this volume has left my cheeks sore， and thank god I have three and four ready to be read。 。。。more

A decent continuation of a decent series overall。 It’s nothing amazing but I’ve definitely read a lot worse。

Paper book review。Oh gosh， these two are so fun to follow。 The art style is great， emotions overdrawn， reactions exaggerated， but I feel like the story is simplistic enough that it all balances nicely。 And I love that our main couple just enjoys egging each other on， bickering， tiptoeing around how they actually feel。 They're both so stubborn， except when it comes to defending each other。 That speech Chief gives to Kabu about Onoe's strength was so heartwarming and powerful。 And I truly apprecia Paper book review。Oh gosh， these two are so fun to follow。 The art style is great， emotions overdrawn， reactions exaggerated， but I feel like the story is simplistic enough that it all balances nicely。 And I love that our main couple just enjoys egging each other on， bickering， tiptoeing around how they actually feel。 They're both so stubborn， except when it comes to defending each other。 That speech Chief gives to Kabu about Onoe's strength was so heartwarming and powerful。 And I truly appreciate the sex scenes are not passionate perfection， but include their awkward dialogue and continued bickering。 So endearing！ Aside from their stubborn refusal to JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER， I loved every single page！ 。。。more

This one was better than the 1st！ We've got some plot and character growth and they're starting to feel like a real relationship。 Its cute and an easy read until I get back in my reading groove。 This one was better than the 1st！ We've got some plot and character growth and they're starting to feel like a real relationship。 Its cute and an easy read until I get back in my reading groove。 。。。more

The boys are as cute as ever， Onoe being a total spazz and Kaburagi trying to play cool。 There's a great scene revealing the character of the chief as well。 The boys are as cute as ever， Onoe being a total spazz and Kaburagi trying to play cool。 There's a great scene revealing the character of the chief as well。 。。。more

This was a solid volume。 So cutesy！ I like it a lot。 Again， simple plot that's told in a fun way， and we get to learn a little more about the characters in this one。 This was a solid volume。 So cutesy！ I like it a lot。 Again， simple plot that's told in a fun way， and we get to learn a little more about the characters in this one。 。。。more

What plot there is is admittedly weak， but the couple's adorable so I rarely care。 The extras are particularly sweet。 What plot there is is admittedly weak， but the couple's adorable so I rarely care。 The extras are particularly sweet。 。。。more

Definitely better when it comes to displaying mutual affection， although the whole jealousy thing is also getting old。 I don't know if I had read this one earlier， like， before the NA release （this is a manga that was serialized pre-2015 after all） that I would feel the same， but I'm definitely going to be taking it into consideration with releases post 2017。 Definitely better when it comes to displaying mutual affection， although the whole jealousy thing is also getting old。 I don't know if I had read this one earlier， like， before the NA release （this is a manga that was serialized pre-2015 after all） that I would feel the same， but I'm definitely going to be taking it into consideration with releases post 2017。 。。。more

This is an excellent start to a manga series。 The awkwardness that begins the relationship is hilarious， leading through a series of misunderstandings and adventures， until Natsume resolves the story with a wonderful ending that leaves you wanting for more。 Bring on volume 2！！！！

Julie ，

We’re not breaking any new ground here， but it is sweet， charming， and fun。 This time there’s some progressive conflict tossed in to allow more exploration/depth of the guys’ feelings， but it’s not overdramatic and everything is resolved in a way that moves the characters forward。 Kabu’s stupid rivalry with Masa-yan comtinues to be hilarious。

I didn't get the chance to review the first volume so I was extremely happy for being allowed to do it for this one。 So first things first， what's the overall on this manga？ Going to the point， it's your average Boys Love。 Onoe couldn't stand how Kaburagi behaved and yet they're put to work together。 Eventually， there are some sparks。 I'm trying not to spoil volume 1 here。So， is it worth it？ For the first volume， I didn't see anything much， it's fun， they have chemistry， but it's the same story I didn't get the chance to review the first volume so I was extremely happy for being allowed to do it for this one。 So first things first， what's the overall on this manga？ Going to the point， it's your average Boys Love。 Onoe couldn't stand how Kaburagi behaved and yet they're put to work together。 Eventually， there are some sparks。 I'm trying not to spoil volume 1 here。So， is it worth it？ For the first volume， I didn't see anything much， it's fun， they have chemistry， but it's the same story we've been reading time and again。 There are some sex scenes here and there but they're probably 5%？ Or even less？ I'm not into smut， so I can't judge it but I can say that if you're also not into it，they're easy to skip and make no difference to the story， which is always a relief when I pick any BL。 In general， it feels that the author was writing something that could be easily finished in a single volume but got an okay to go on。And I'm glad。 Second volume wasn't that superior， but I liked the character development。 We learn more about Kaburagi and his personality， also hear a little about his family （I'm sure there's more coming ahead though）。 I still think it's not spectacular， but I'm looking forward to getting to know them。It's a manga with good art， interesting side characters， some plot twists I don't usually expect and great jokes。 If you've read volume 1 and feel iffy as I was， go ahead and give volume 2 a try。3。5。Honest review based on an ARC provided by Edelweiss。 Many thanks to the publisher for this opportunity。 。。。more

This dropped into my kindle yesterday。 Again， I read this years ago， so this wasn't a surprise， but。。。 it's been long enough that I don't remember all the details。 This has a lot of typical tropes in it - misunderstandings galore。 But honestly， I still like it and find the art style refreshing。 This dropped into my kindle yesterday。 Again， I read this years ago， so this wasn't a surprise， but。。。 it's been long enough that I don't remember all the details。 This has a lot of typical tropes in it - misunderstandings galore。 But honestly， I still like it and find the art style refreshing。 。。。more
