Volume: 1. 2.

Goodreads Synopsis:

Naoto and Taichi’s turbulent high school love crashed and burned, but a reunion in college puts love back in the air.

Naoto and Taichi’s first try at love during their high school days crashed and burned. Years later the two unexpectedly reunite on their first day of college. Tumultuous love often burns hot, and the glowing embers of their previous relationship reignite into a second try at love.

Nao is hurting over his relationship with Taichi, and his new friend Nishina wants to help—but he ends up confessing his own feelings in the process! When two men are in love, the world can be a very callous place, and even friends and family sometimes hurt the ones they love. Can a couple like Taichi and Nao ever find true happiness?

Review:

I had some issues with the first volume, and then I skipped the second, and then I get to see how it all wraps up in this volume.
I definitely wish that this series handled the more serious issues a bit better, as there are some sketchy ways the plot points are handled. Especially because it's really steamy and hot for quite a bit of it, and I do like that.
This series might be a good guilty pleasure, to be fair. I have a hard time letting myself fully even like it for that, though.
