Summary
Youichi's life at university is going just fine。 He isn't having any trouble with his classes， he has plenty of friends， and even a cute girlfriend named Minami。 Then the day comes where he meets Misaki。 Misaki is a reserved， stand offish fellow but for some reason， Youichi can't seem to get him out of his mind。 In fact， he can't seem to stay away。 When he lands a job working in the lab with Misaki， it seems more than just the flowers are about to bloom。 But will they recognise their emotions for what they are， and have the courage to accept it？

Subtle and sweet with a mysterious undercurrent of sadness， this first volume leaves a lot unanswered。 But our leads are so genuine and easy to love and Takarai's art is gorgeous as always。 I have a feeling this might be a series that's better off being read all at once， but the other volumes are not out in English yet。 Still， I'll be eagerly waiting until they are。 Subtle and sweet with a mysterious undercurrent of sadness， this first volume leaves a lot unanswered。 But our leads are so genuine and easy to love and Takarai's art is gorgeous as always。 I have a feeling this might be a series that's better off being read all at once， but the other volumes are not out in English yet。 Still， I'll be eagerly waiting until they are。 。。。more

A sweet story。 I have read it a couple of times。

So far it feels like a soft slow burn with a romantic atmosphere。 Nice and relaxing first volume， I like the mood and characters。While this mangaka has a lovely style， the art was noticeably imperfect in places， it felt like lower quality compared to their other works。

No pensé que me gustaría tanto los personajes como la trama。 Tiene una esencia especial que te hace enamorarte de cada parte， triste y conmovedora。

The art is gorgeous， but I feel like the story was a bit incoherent。 Some of the things/situations felt very contrived， even for a BL manga， and some of the storytelling just felt 。。。 messy。 Still， it was a very sweet series overall and I don't regret reading it。 3。5 stars overall The art is gorgeous， but I feel like the story was a bit incoherent。 Some of the things/situations felt very contrived， even for a BL manga， and some of the storytelling just felt 。。。 messy。 Still， it was a very sweet series overall and I don't regret reading it。 3。5 stars overall 。。。more

In August last year I have read a lot of BL mangas， a lot became favourites and this is one of those。I loved the drawing as much as the story。

[ ★★，7 / 5 ]I'm utterly confused。。。 like， they never met but how in the world Youichi dream of Misaki？ HOW。Fate is definitely is not the proper answer， right？The plot feels lacking but the art is decent so I guess I'll continue reading it till the end。 [ ★★，7 / 5 ]I'm utterly confused。。。 like， they never met but how in the world Youichi dream of Misaki？ HOW。Fate is definitely is not the proper answer， right？The plot feels lacking but the art is decent so I guess I'll continue reading it till the end。 。。。more

Really sweet story until now。 I just want them to understand their own feelings and go with the flow。 However， I like that they are taking their time to reflect on their feelings and notice such little things （like the flower meaning or their moods）。 These meaningful details and how the emotions are reflected develops in intense feelings which I adore。

The art and everything else is fine。 But it lacks proper art sequence and a proper plot follow up。 It gets really monotonous at times。 I don't want to continue with this series。 The art and everything else is fine。 But it lacks proper art sequence and a proper plot follow up。 It gets really monotonous at times。 I don't want to continue with this series。 。。。more

I loved it。 Really， I cried with it。 It's one of my favorite mangas。 I read it twice， and that twice I felt my heart breaking。 The love story， the sensibility， the sensitive， the hurt story of the protagonist。。。 I felt all this pain but I felt all that love too。 I really recomend it。 I loved it。 Really， I cried with it。 It's one of my favorite mangas。 I read it twice， and that twice I felt my heart breaking。 The love story， the sensibility， the sensitive， the hurt story of the protagonist。。。 I felt all this pain but I felt all that love too。 I really recomend it。 。。。more

As for now it seems like an innocent romance story， but I said the same for Ten Count， and everyone knows how it ended。 Notghing much to say， it's just a kind of a love story with that veil of mystical connections Japanese authors seems to be really fond of。 Just one thing though。。。 how could a Law student be allowed to perfrom a research in what I suppose is botany and microbiology？ As for now it seems like an innocent romance story， but I said the same for Ten Count， and everyone knows how it ended。 Notghing much to say， it's just a kind of a love story with that veil of mystical connections Japanese authors seems to be really fond of。 Just one thing though。。。 how could a Law student be allowed to perfrom a research in what I suppose is botany and microbiology？ 。。。more

Nachdem ich die Ten Count Reihe beendet hatte， wollte ich unbedingt mehr von der Mangaka lesen。Den Zeichenstil fand ich wieder richtig super， doch leider kam ich zu Beginn immer mal wieder etwas durcheinander。 Ich muss dazu aber sagen， dass ich noch nicht so geübt darin bin Manags zu lesen。 Vielleicht lag es daran， dass ich die beiden manchmal verwechselt habe。Die Story hat mir soweit gefallen， doch ist irgendwie noch nicht so viel passiert und ich bin gespannt， was nun in Band 2 kommen wird。Die Nachdem ich die Ten Count Reihe beendet hatte， wollte ich unbedingt mehr von der Mangaka lesen。Den Zeichenstil fand ich wieder richtig super， doch leider kam ich zu Beginn immer mal wieder etwas durcheinander。 Ich muss dazu aber sagen， dass ich noch nicht so geübt darin bin Manags zu lesen。 Vielleicht lag es daran， dass ich die beiden manchmal verwechselt habe。Die Story hat mir soweit gefallen， doch ist irgendwie noch nicht so viel passiert und ich bin gespannt， was nun in Band 2 kommen wird。Die beiden sind mir sympathisch， doch konnte ich manchmal das Verhalten nicht zu 100% nachvollziehen， ich gehe aber davon aus， dass da noch mehr kommt in den anderen zwei Bänden， sodass ich vergalten schlüssiger wird。 。。。more

Arikawa and Misaki are absolutely adorable。 Arikawa gives over to his feelings for Misaki so wholeheartedly， and he doesn't see it as something he should hide or be ashamed about。 Masaki is just the opposite; he has been shown most of his life that his feelings toward men are something that he shouldn't have or should just ignore。 This is such a cute story and I'm really glad that they have each other。 Arikawa and Misaki are absolutely adorable。 Arikawa gives over to his feelings for Misaki so wholeheartedly， and he doesn't see it as something he should hide or be ashamed about。 Masaki is just the opposite; he has been shown most of his life that his feelings toward men are something that he shouldn't have or should just ignore。 This is such a cute story and I'm really glad that they have each other。 。。。more

It was pretty introductory so I can't really give it a high rating since nothing happened really。 Plus， there are some moments where this "toxic masculinity"， that's really present in Japan， makes the scenes kind of problematic。。。Let's see how the next two go。。。 It was pretty introductory so I can't really give it a high rating since nothing happened really。 Plus， there are some moments where this "toxic masculinity"， that's really present in Japan， makes the scenes kind of problematic。。。Let's see how the next two go。。。 。。。more
