This was a great finale。 The romance is so sweet and I don't mind that the two of them harbor jealousy toward each other。 Masato was annoying， though。 I know why he's added， but man。 Yosuke and Arimura don't need any more meddling！ Plenty of laughs throughout the story， too。 This was a great finale。 The romance is so sweet and I don't mind that the two of them harbor jealousy toward each other。 Masato was annoying， though。 I know why he's added， but man。 Yosuke and Arimura don't need any more meddling！ Plenty of laughs throughout the story， too。 。。。more

3。5 stars out of 5This is kind of my review for both volumes in this series （although the first volume was better）。 I definitely enjoyed Change World more than it’s prequel， partially because it felt like there was a bit more substance to this continuation。 This series focused more on the ‘gay for you’ trope， and the idea that some people don’t really believe bisexuality is a thing because a person will always do what it easier over what is harder。 It’s a plot point that has been done 100’s of t 3。5 stars out of 5This is kind of my review for both volumes in this series （although the first volume was better）。 I definitely enjoyed Change World more than it’s prequel， partially because it felt like there was a bit more substance to this continuation。 This series focused more on the ‘gay for you’ trope， and the idea that some people don’t really believe bisexuality is a thing because a person will always do what it easier over what is harder。 It’s a plot point that has been done 100’s of times in yaoi， but it always helps to make the right amount of conflict for a good story。 At the end of the day， we got our happy ending and a bunch of sexy times， so the angst goes away and everything is all good by the end of the story。 。。。more

Love love loved this whole series。 My only complaint is that I want more， which seems from the author's note like it could be a possibility at some point down the line？ I'll cross my fingers and hope they at least pop up in the background of the spinoff volumes， which I'm also eager to read。 I was expecting some drama about their separation while Yosuke was living in New York， and the cover blurb misleadingly teases that， but the reality is that all the problems get ironed out and talked through Love love loved this whole series。 My only complaint is that I want more， which seems from the author's note like it could be a possibility at some point down the line？ I'll cross my fingers and hope they at least pop up in the background of the spinoff volumes， which I'm also eager to read。 I was expecting some drama about their separation while Yosuke was living in New York， and the cover blurb misleadingly teases that， but the reality is that all the problems get ironed out and talked through before Yosuke leaves。 Because he and Arimura are actually super good at communicating， even when it's a struggle to put all their vulnerabilities on display。The thing I really love about this series is that Yosuke and Arimura both definitely have - and don't try to hide - their selfish sides and imperfections， and that's treated as an important part of their story。 They're aware of the danger points in their relationships， and in their own attitudes， and work hard to ensure that they're always staying on the same page， as much as possible。Arimura has a fantastic scene where he's quietly watching his parents gardening together， openly displaying their love， and winds up asking his dad how it's possible to make a marriage like that work。 His dad's advice is what gives these volumes their title: when you love someone， you make an effort to see things from their point of view， and over time， it actually changes how you see the world。The author's note goes into this in a bit more detail， and I think it's absolutely beautifully said （the writing in this series is so sharp and thoughtful and good）:In this world filled with so many different kinds of love， I feel that for them， love is not something that can come to a conclusion with two people， but rather is deepened by taking in the thoughts and feelings of the people around them while awash in worry。 The lack of "the" in the title of the story indicates that it is not only Ikuo and Yosuke who change when they learn how to care about each other， but also other people in their lives。 It then goes into a little bit of chatter about the spinoff character （Hozumi）， but that description definitely also applies to the main couple's families。 I think Arimura's family has been slowly shifting into acceptance of his relationship， even though his sister's the only one who technically knows - there are some strong hints near the end that his parents suspect， since he's already told them he has a partner he wants to spend his life with， and then told them he's moving in with Yosuke。。。Yosuke， at least， thinks they have to have guessed， and he's mentally working himself up for the inevitable conversation， where Arimura will introduce him as his boyfriend and life partner - since they're sharing a home and intend to do so permanently。 Arimura's made his intentions on that front clear， to both his family and to Yosuke， although he kept the details vague with the former - out of respect for the partner who has to be consulted on the actual reveal。 Unfortunately， we don't get that reveal in this volume， and it's the one thing I would've absolutely loved to see。 We do get lots of wonderful mushy honeymoon stuff， which is great。 I just really， really loved Arimura's family and how well they'd all gotten along with and liked Yosuke， so it would've been fantastic to see him actually folded into that family for good。 He deserves it， and it's something that I think would alleviate any lingering concerns/guilt he has about taking Arimura away from a traditional path。 （He and Arimura talk about all that and resolve it， with promises to keep reassuring each other for the rest of their lives， but Yosuke's the type of person who would still worry just a little bit about Arimura's parents resenting him。）I don't think Arimura has any worries on that front。 In fact， it's made quite clear that he's been ready for a while to come out to his loved ones， but he's respecting the fact that Yosuke is not nearly as close with his parents - who'd disowned his older brother for breaking away from the family， and who exert even more control over Yosuke as a result。 （Apparently the brother visited Yosuke in New York， which I wish we'd gotten to see。 Did he tell his brother about Arimura？ What's their dynamic like？） I'm not sure if Yosuke would ever be comfortable bringing his parents into that part of his life， but it's a hurdle Arimura will gladly face with him when/if it comes。 I love how patient Arimura is， despite the passion and frustration roiling around under the surface， and how he really did wait 2。5 years for Yosuke to come back to him。 He definitely didn't want Yosuke to go， but he knew that Yosuke was only holding out for fear of losing him。。。so he removed that burden and anchored in his trust that they'd be okay no matter how much time they spent apart。Interestingly， it seems like Yosuke might've been fairly open about his relationship， at least to some extent - his coworker/roommate in New York knew he had "a lover，" and Yosuke kept a photo of himself with Arimura on pretty plain display in his room。 I would've liked to see more of what Arimura's support system was like while Yosuke was away - they video chatted （and had video sex） frequently， but they never actually saw each other in person until Yosuke was able to come back home。 Hozumi teases Yosuke about having seen what Arimura was up to during that time， but we don't actually get to witness any of that on the page - probably because it doesn't really matter， because there isn't the slightest concern that either of them was anything but utterly faithful to each other during those years。But they would've desperately missed each other， of course， and I would've gladly read another 200+ pages of that stage in their lives。 Arimura had Hozumi， I suppose， but also his sister and Matsu - whom I love， and who seems to have spent something like 4 years gradually trying to woo Nana （and finally succeeding？？）。 The reunion was worth it， though， and I appreciate that instead of falling into a bunch of drama and breakup talk or any of those messes， this volume is basically just a marriage proposal and a honeymoon。 And I loved every bit of it。 。。。more

This series just doesn't really spark anything for me。 It's not bad or anything。 Change World is better than Sayonara Game and it has cute moments， but it's just not for me。 I am excited for Love Nest though and reading Hoizumi's story。 He's an interesting character， even if he is a little annoying。 This series just doesn't really spark anything for me。 It's not bad or anything。 Change World is better than Sayonara Game and it has cute moments， but it's just not for me。 I am excited for Love Nest though and reading Hoizumi's story。 He's an interesting character， even if he is a little annoying。 。。。more

This was a pretty quick ending， but again it didn't leave an impact on me。 At least the whole interfering guy thing was wrapped up without too much hassle， but it was also the only thing really spurring these 2 volumes on and without it there wasn't much plot besides （view spoiler）[the separation with Yosuke working abroad for a while。 （hide spoiler）] This was a pretty quick ending， but again it didn't leave an impact on me。 At least the whole interfering guy thing was wrapped up without too much hassle， but it was also the only thing really spurring these 2 volumes on and without it there wasn't much plot besides （view spoiler）[the separation with Yosuke working abroad for a while。 （hide spoiler）] 。。。more

Que bonito ha sido este segundo tomo。 Me he enamorado tanto de los personajes （más de Masato， of course） pero he adorado a Yôsuke e Ikuo， sobre todo el cómo afrontan su relación y como， finalmente， deciden mirar hacia el futuro sin miedo。
