Goodreads Synopsis:
High school student Ao
has been dreaming about his longtime neighbor Ryomei, a priest at the
local Shinto shrine. A little freaked out--and a lot excited--at the
prospect of having a relationship with Ryomei, Ao gathers up his
courage, confesses his feelings...and gets turned down flat. Luckily,
Ao's not the kind to give up easily. Thanks to some creative persistence
(and Ryomei's weakening resolve), he finally gets a kiss. But one
single kiss won't satisfy him for long! Reads R to L (Japanese Style)
for mature audiences.
Review:
This series is
getting rather more enjoyable the more I read.
I felt really bad
for Ao in this volume. The poor sweetie is just having a really hard time, not
feeling like anyone really wants him. He needs to talk with his Grandma, and I
really hope that happens in the next volume. When things work out between him
and Ryo, he’s also going to need to talk with his mom. I would like to actually
meet his mom, too, as she seems like she could be a really sweet lady, who just
wants to be close to her sons. Plus, I’m sure things will work out, especially
since I see something happening between Hako and Aka.
Ao and Ryo seems
like things are finally going to be working out in the next volume, which I had
no doubt of, but still. Ryo took way too long (although probably a reasonable
amount of time, really). And I just felt so bad for Ao, feeling like neither
his Grandma or Ryo wants him, and then when that date went so badly… His face
when he’s upset just makes me want to cry along with him.
I’m really
wondering what’s going on/going to happen with Shunpei. I still love Shuji and
Chii, they are such a cute father/daughter pair. They’re still very much my
favorite. I just smile every time they show up.
I am rather excited
to read the next volume, as I’m looking forward to seeing how the story is
going to wrap up.
