I love this series so muuuuuuuch。I do wonder what sort of weird drama is going to happen with Shizuma's difficult boss， and I'll have to wait until my preorder for the next book comes through， but I'm not really worried about the ultimate results， considering how supportive and good the relationships are in this series。 Minato does get jealous and insecure when Shizuma starts up his extremely busy new vet job and barely has time to see or even talk to him， and I'm not a huge fan of his jokes/thr I love this series so muuuuuuuch。I do wonder what sort of weird drama is going to happen with Shizuma's difficult boss， and I'll have to wait until my preorder for the next book comes through， but I'm not really worried about the ultimate results， considering how supportive and good the relationships are in this series。 Minato does get jealous and insecure when Shizuma starts up his extremely busy new vet job and barely has time to see or even talk to him， and I'm not a huge fan of his jokes/threats about cheating - but it's interesting to see characters who act like real， flawed people。 Minato is saying those things as a deflection to keep his vulnerabilities a little less on display - he's a bitey creature， which is part of what Shizuma understands and appreciates about him。 But Shizuma also flat-out tells Minato that if he ever actually does cheat， they're done。 He's not that kind of a guy and he won't go through that kind of a relationship again。 He'll accept all of Minato's sharp edges， but their relationship is a partnership that requires loyalty and trust， and Shizuma is sticking to that。 And that's one of the things Minato likes about Shizuma， too - his kindness that doesn't actually make him a pushover。Their relationship is just so good and so balanced， and while communication isn't always easy， especially in a fairly new relationship， they're both trying so hard。 I love seeing that。I also love how open Shizuma is about their relationship。 I'd like to see Minato meet his parents ， especially since he's been without an extended family of his own for so long。 But it's nice that Shizuma doesn't even hesitate when introducing Minato to people as his boyfriend， even when it could potentially hurt him at his new job。 That steady， supportive， permanent love is just what Minato needs， and it's so nice to experience in story form。 Excited about the next book。 I want to see them moving in together。 。。。more

It's been over a year since I read the first two books in this series， so my memory of those is bit spotty at best。 However， I read through my old reviews to refresh and I have to agree that this volume shares a lot of the positive characteristics of the rest of Hinohara's work。 The art is simply beautiful。 I could look at it all day。 It makes me long for colored pages because even in black and white， her character design are gorgeous。 The plot is pretty slice-of-life， but I appreciate that ther It's been over a year since I read the first two books in this series， so my memory of those is bit spotty at best。 However， I read through my old reviews to refresh and I have to agree that this volume shares a lot of the positive characteristics of the rest of Hinohara's work。 The art is simply beautiful。 I could look at it all day。 It makes me long for colored pages because even in black and white， her character design are gorgeous。 The plot is pretty slice-of-life， but I appreciate that there are no ridiculous conflicts for the main characters。 It's realistic that life and jobs would make seeing each other difficult， and I appreciated that。 I also want to add that the continued consent here is SO GOOD。 I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have characters communicate openly and make sure that they are in agreement。 Literally LOVE。 As always， Minato and Shizuma are adorable and so sweet and I love how Shizuma just straight up tells people they are dating， even when Minato is worried how it might affect his lover's job。 Ugh I love it so much。 ❤️ 。。。more

These are pretty short volumes， but it feels like so much happens without feeling super overloaded with content。 It just feels like a story you can lose yourself in yknow？ Not a huge fan of Minato threatening to cheat on Shizuma。 Like I know he's joking and wouldn't actually do it， but Shizuma has trauma so like he's probably not super confident that he's not going to be betrayed。 This is mainly focused on Minato's perspective though so that part's kind of brushed off。 Idk that just bugged me。 O These are pretty short volumes， but it feels like so much happens without feeling super overloaded with content。 It just feels like a story you can lose yourself in yknow？ Not a huge fan of Minato threatening to cheat on Shizuma。 Like I know he's joking and wouldn't actually do it， but Shizuma has trauma so like he's probably not super confident that he's not going to be betrayed。 This is mainly focused on Minato's perspective though so that part's kind of brushed off。 Idk that just bugged me。 Otherwise they're still cute。 Like Minato is extremely insecure， but he also has trauma so it makes sense。 I don't think their relationship is unhealthy at least like it's not a toxic insecurity。 Just a bit much。 I hope it doesn't continue too much in the next volume。 Anyway what the hell is up with this director。 Like they were being super cryptic about her I thought it might end up being someone they knew， but it's not。 She's just a weirdo who doesn't want vets to work at her clinic I guess？？ Like do you not want employees？？ Why drive them out？ 。。。more

I think it's no surprise at this point that I absolutely love everything that Meguru Hinohara puts out。 Especially when it has to do with Therapy Game。 This series is my all time favorite and this book did not disappoint me。 Everything is beautifully done and the motives behind the characters are clear as day。 I love the symbolism that is put into it。 And of course， Minato was just as gorgeous as always。 I think it's no surprise at this point that I absolutely love everything that Meguru Hinohara puts out。 Especially when it has to do with Therapy Game。 This series is my all time favorite and this book did not disappoint me。 Everything is beautifully done and the motives behind the characters are clear as day。 I love the symbolism that is put into it。 And of course， Minato was just as gorgeous as always。 。。。more

This has to be one of my favorite BL mangas。 From what I’ve seen- most BL consist of one forcing the other。 This manga is NOTHING like that！！ This couple genuinely loves each other。 I was giggling， blushing， and actually feeling so happy reading this manga。 I just loved the couple and how they go along in their relationship。 This so far is my favorite BL I’ve ever come across

kennt ihr das， dass ihr bei den Dingen， die ihr besonders gern habt manchmal nicht die richtigen Worte findet， um eure Begeisterung gebührend zum Ausdruck zu bringen？Jedes Mal， wenn ich einen Beitrag zu Therapy Game schreibe， bin ich sprachlos。 Dabei gibt es eigentlich so viel sagen。So sehnsüchtig habe ich auf diesen Print gewartet， denn ich liebe längere Reihen， die auch Abbilden， wenns ans Eingemachte geht。 So wie Hinohara sensei in diesem Sequel。 Denn nachdem Shizuma und Minato 6 Monate zusam kennt ihr das， dass ihr bei den Dingen， die ihr besonders gern habt manchmal nicht die richtigen Worte findet， um eure Begeisterung gebührend zum Ausdruck zu bringen？Jedes Mal， wenn ich einen Beitrag zu Therapy Game schreibe， bin ich sprachlos。 Dabei gibt es eigentlich so viel sagen。So sehnsüchtig habe ich auf diesen Print gewartet， denn ich liebe längere Reihen， die auch Abbilden， wenns ans Eingemachte geht。 So wie Hinohara sensei in diesem Sequel。 Denn nachdem Shizuma und Minato 6 Monate zusammen sind， kommen erste Schwierigkeiten auf beide zu。 Ausgelöst durch Shizumas Einstieg ins Arbeitsleben und Minatos Kopfkino。Und hier kommt ins Spiel， was ich an dieser Reihe am meisten Liebe， die Kommunikation！ Denn diese ich vor allem Dank Shizuma nicht nur offen， sondern sehr einfühlsam。 Mir wird einfach jedes Mal warum ums Herz， wenn ich deren gemeinsamen Szenen lese。Zudem liebe ich es， dass auch immer beide Charaktere einzeln begleitet und betrachtet werden und der Erzählstil sich nicht nur auf einen der beiden Main Character fokussiert。Ich rate übrigens nicht dazu Restart ohne das Vorwissen aus Therapy Game zu lesen， da die beiden Hauptcharaktere darin einiges an Charaktertiefe bekommen， dessen Vorwissen essentiell ist um einige Gedankengänge nachvollziehen zu können。 。。。more

2。75 stars， rounded upI have been looking forward to reading this manga for almost a year and I've gotta admit that as happy as I was seeing Shizuma and Minato again I didn't find this volume nearly as entertaining as the two previous ones。 The art was still beautiful and the sex scenes were just as explicit， but the story！ 😔 It was just so。。。 meh。☆ I was surprised to learn that everything that's been happening in their relationship has been taking place simultaneously to the events in Secret XX 2。75 stars， rounded upI have been looking forward to reading this manga for almost a year and I've gotta admit that as happy as I was seeing Shizuma and Minato again I didn't find this volume nearly as entertaining as the two previous ones。 The art was still beautiful and the sex scenes were just as explicit， but the story！ 😔 It was just so。。。 meh。☆ I was surprised to learn that everything that's been happening in their relationship has been taking place simultaneously to the events in Secret XXX。 I knew that some parts of their story overlapped but I just assumed that Itsuki and Shohei were already living together by the time the events of this manga started。 I guess not。☆ Minato's personality has changed so much now that he's in love。 I'm not used to seeing him so mopey and and listless。 I really didn't like it。 Of course he'll always be a diva but his diva-ness has been toned down a lot。☆ I've said it a hundred times and I'll say it again， Kohei is the absolute definition of a cinnamon roll。 🥰 He is the most adorable uke I've ever seen。☆ What's up with that director at Shizuma's clinic？ I can't wait to find out what her deal is。 And why doesn't Shizuma just work at his father's zoo？ ☆ Finally。。。。Ugh！！！ I really really REALLY wanted to enjoy this more！ Maybe I was expecting too much。 I just hope I like the next volume more。 。。。more

“Therapy Game Restart” by Meguru Hinohara The story of Shizuma and Minato continue。 Minato is finally in his career but with him being busy all the time he doesn’t have much time for his love Shizuma。 There is some bickering and Shizuma realizes it that he is having a hard time being alone， and away from Minato。 During this time they are trying to figure out what is best， and well Minato suggested that they move in together…and well I can’t wait to find out if they do。 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏳️🌈

These two men always bring joy into my life and heart， and this volume was no exception。 I had so much fun， grinning from ear to ear; turning back and forward the pages to reread and reread those sweet scenes that made my heart burst！！！！ Seriously， how can the story of this two， just growing and loving and being… normal， domestic， with their usual routines be so good？？？ So fun？ So beautiful？ I enjoyed every bit of it and couldn’t believe it was so quickly over because thats how much I loved it！ These two men always bring joy into my life and heart， and this volume was no exception。 I had so much fun， grinning from ear to ear; turning back and forward the pages to reread and reread those sweet scenes that made my heart burst！！！！ Seriously， how can the story of this two， just growing and loving and being… normal， domestic， with their usual routines be so good？？？ So fun？ So beautiful？ I enjoyed every bit of it and couldn’t believe it was so quickly over because thats how much I loved it！ Anyways， I already miss those two。 I have Shizuma and Minato withdrawal 😭❤️ Can’t wait for the next volumes。PS: Those sex scenes were absolute incredibly hot and gorgeous！！！ But also those soft moments made me melt all over。 Is incredible how the mangaka transmits so strongly how much they love each other。 I can actually feel it idk if it makes sense but yes。 I’ll definitely reread all volumes this Christmas break。 。。。more

Be still my beating heart！！ My babies are back， uncensored and I love them more than ever。 This was a perfect first volume picking up almost immediately after Therapy Game vol 2。 I really enjoyed picking up a beginning and having characters in an established relationship。 One it makes for more sexy， uncensored smut but two because seeing how a real relationship works and the intricacies as they continue to be together are way more interesting than meet cute after meet cute。 I love Shizuma and Mi Be still my beating heart！！ My babies are back， uncensored and I love them more than ever。 This was a perfect first volume picking up almost immediately after Therapy Game vol 2。 I really enjoyed picking up a beginning and having characters in an established relationship。 One it makes for more sexy， uncensored smut but two because seeing how a real relationship works and the intricacies as they continue to be together are way more interesting than meet cute after meet cute。 I love Shizuma and Minato's personality and I love them even more together。 The vet is uber sketchy so ready to see how that works out。 I am rooting for these two and will be pre-ordering every volume！ 。。。more
