My Thought about this book(Spoilers Free)
This was a MM romance manga series which is also called BL manga. This manga was also adopted in a movie & series. I watched the movie when it came out & since then I wanted to read the manga. And I was glad that I picked it up because the movie didn’t do justice to the manga. The manga was way better & had depth in it. I was not saying that the movie was bad but the manga was better.
I enjoyed it & fell for it.
Plot – 4/5
The story was about a boy named Izumi whose family was so famous in the entertainment industry but he didn’t want to pursue the career and wanted to be a mangaka. On the other hand Ryouma was a famous actor. And when they were a child they both acted in a commercial together but Izumi acted as a girl and from then Ryouma fell for him without knowing that Izumi was a boy not girl. 10 years later they met again for the same commercial (recreating). But this time Ryouma found out the truth & he felt like a betrayal. And then the story started about Ryouma & Izumi falling for each other.
Art Style – 4.5/5
I must say when it comes to a manga the art style matters. This manga had a pretty good art style. It perfectly shows the emotions cute & spicy.
Romance & Emotion – 3.5/5
Initially they had issues but after the relationship grew their bond got strong. Did I need to talk about their spicy scene? They were just too hot.
Characters – 4.5/5
This manga I love because of those two characters.
Instarting Ryouma did bad things but after he confirmed his feelings toward Izumi, his character changed. I loved the way he always supported Izumi. And even admired him. He was a protective type but cared for Izumi.
I also fall for Izumi’s character. He never gave up on their relationship.
Enjoyment – 4/5
Overall I enjoyed the manga. But volume 1 & volume 2 & volume 6 & volume 7 I enjoyed the most.
Ending/Epilogue – 4.5/5
I loved the ending. Even though the last volume was a little dragged out, the ending was good.
Cover – 3.5/5
Each & every cover was unique. But honestly, my favorites were volume 1 & volume 6 & volume 7. I loved the cute stepback on each book.
