Goodreads Synopsis:
When a playboy falls for a nerd, chemistry results in an explosive reaction!
Playboy Maya catches studious Nemugasa cheating on a test, and to ensure his silence, Maya blackmails Nemugasa into doing whatever he wants! But is this merely just a ruse so Maya can spend more alone time with him?
After spending a blissful night wrapped in each other’s arms, Maya and Nemugasa get a rude awakening when Maya’s dad arrives unexpectedly, catching them in bed together! Unfazed by his father’s disapproval of their relationship, Maya moves out on his own, and even though he’s been cut off from his credit cards and his family’s financial support, Maya’s love for Nemugasa only grows. There’s just one tiny complication. With no place to stay, Maya is forced to crash with the last person he wants anywhere near his beloved Nemugasa—Shimakawa!

Review:
Maya's father discovers him and Nemugasa together, and thus he's
forced to confess. While his father isn't necessarily against it as a
homophobic thing (though he doesn't understand), he has a hard time
believing it, and decides that he's not going to support Maya any
longer. Which means Maya is out on his own.
Maya's father is making this hard on him, and in result also making
Akira's decisions harder, but I don't think the consequences are as
bad as they could be. Maya has a job, and starts working more, while
deciding about school, because now he has bills. But he ends up
rooming with Naoya, which actually works out well, despite their
differences. They fight, but they also stay out of each others
business, and I think they do actually work well together, even
without meaning to. And it's hard to dislike Maya's father, because
he does care and dote on Maya, and he even bonds with Nemugasa at one
point over their love of Maya.
Aside from them, we got quite a bit of focus on Akira and Naoya.
Akira doesn't want to discuss his feelings, and he has a hard time
being open about his wants with Naoya, but he takes the opportunities
that he can in order to further their relationship. There's some
development in their relationship here, and I'm interested to see how
he reacts to their fathers decision in the future.
Aside from the drama, this volume was very steamy. There were several
really hot scenes between both couples. It was good.
This is probably one of my favorite yaoi series. It's hot, and sweet,
and I love the characters. I want more like this.
