This one was an interesting, and oddly realistic (as far as I know) portrayal of teenage romance in an all-boys high school. The two don't immediately jump into bed - first they go through all the required angsty, doubtful periods of time where they don't understand what the other is thinking. You know, high school. And even then, they don't sex it up right away. The nervous uke and understanding seme result in a waiting time in which they get more comfortable with each other. Moving, actually.
The characters are quite easy to sympathize with, especially the uke (whose perspective the story is told from). And the seme is adorably caring.
The art is pretty nice, and although the uke looks pretty feminine it isn't TOO obvious.
The sex, when it happens eventually, is kind of cute and amusing, the way first-time teenage sex ought to be portrayed (as opposed to rough-and-ready sex that doesn't make sense with the inexperience of first-timers).
31/40.
Recommendation: For those of you who like the high-school setting, or the cute couple.
I've also read this, and loved it so much I read it again. I might read it another time now that I read this. It's a very cute story as are the rest of Itsuki Kaname's books are :)
