Review:
I really want to love this series. And I find it
cute. The last couple volumes were really fun, and this one was as well.
I like how Ryoma just goes for it, he is unashamed
of his love for Izumi. Even if he’s a little pushy at times, I mostly just
enjoy it. And in this volume, Izumi realizes his own feelings for Ryoma. That
leads to some sexy times, as well as some really cute moments. I love how Izumi
just threw himself at Ryoma, and Ryoma tried to be respectful when he didn’t
know what was going on. Izumi is kind of adorable at times, in the way that he
relies on Ryoma, and Ryoma loves it.
My only real problem with this volume, is the
attempted rape scene. The author tries to make a joke of it at one point, and
that was distasteful to me, because it doesn’t change what the characters were
doing. But it’s also used as an important moment where Izumi realizes his
feelings for Ryoma, and I don’t like that he needed to be assaulted in order
for that to happen. I guess I’m happy that he got himself out of the situation,
instead of being saved, but otherwise it bothered me.
Aside from that, I enjoyed this volume. I like the
romance between Izumi and Ryoma. I also enjoy Rei’s character a lot, and
enjoyed the little glimpse we got between him and Shogo. The scene where Izumi
asks Rei about gay sex had me laughing, too.
