This story is genuinely so well written. It's very realistic in representation of qu*** people and explores different perspectives on each side. Despite how well the story is written, the ending is so rushed, pretty much into one chapter. There's no insight on how the ending came to be, it literally just happened. Still a great read and 100% worth it. Would be better if the ending wasn't so rushed though.

It really good but the ending was rushed 
Spoiler!
Like the one i thought was the end game breaks up with him but that understandable life. not everyone stays together but how did he got together with that other guy HOW?? WHY?? It was a love story tell me YOUR LOVE STORY because mc did not have feelings for him at all then HOWWW?

Anyways still read it for the characters they feel like real people with their own problems

I feel like every LGBTQIA+ will relate at some point with the strugles that part of our MC had in this story. I know I did, to the point that it actually made me cry while thinking about my past.
It's definitely a ride, the way this author created coming of age discussions that are almost if he is inviting you to chat with the characters is also something that makes it worth reading.
The 50+ chapters flew and I wish I could delete it from my mind so I could have this experience once again.

Also keep in mind the final chapter is wrote in a subjective way (using you in the POV of 2 mc) so it feels quite weird, but he sort of had to do this bc of the magazine the manga was being released, it was a famous shounen one, and Japan is a conservative place so openly homoaffective relationships are only displayed in magazines of that theme.

really nice story and more realistic than a lot i've read. im actually glad it wasn't a "BL focused" plot and that the relationships weren't set in stone as "gay girl/guys best friend who never saw them in that way falls in love with them immediately" as well a realistic portrayal of bisexual identity. i do wish there was more development in the end or maybe some sort of spin off after the time skip but even without that the story itself was still enjoyable

A touching coming-of-age story that at first seems like an average high school love triangle, and quickly tumbles into a complex web of self-discoveries with well-developed and flawed but loveable characters. Very realistic, with great depictions of young gay love and adolescent friendships. The "outing" segment is treated very sensitively, and the way it delivers some of its messages is powerful. The characters were believable and it feels as though you're reading about actual teenagers. And there are no villains, nor is anybody in the story perfect. They are all human, and that's what makes this manga so special. 

The ending is rightfully criticised for being rushed, and I think that's what prevents it from being perfect, but I personally quite like the "less is more" approach and I was thrilled by the final twist. Toma, in particular, will always have a special place in my heart. He has to be one of my favourite manga characters ever. Everyone involved in the making of this should be proud of themselves. I'm so glad this manga exists.
