relationship within a straight man and a gay man go? What trials will they have
to pass through in order to stay together? On top of that, what are the true feelings
that well up inside a straight man’s heart in this kind of relationship? Will

A complicated love and longing. A
perfect representation of how homosexual relationship struggles to attain
happiness. A kind of tale that shows how emotions can control and lead people
to their limits. And of how difficult love can be. This is the story of two
adult men, Kyouichi and Imagase, a straight man and a gay man together in a
relationship of twisted feelings.

Kyouchi’s dilemma leads to his
indecisiveness and cowardice towards their growing relationship and with the
women coming into him, such problems just gets more complicated. His feelings
are always half-hearted and that’s why having affairs with women has always
been easy. Imagase’s obsession on the other hand, leads him to understand and
accept Kyouichi’s infidelity and continued to stay with him. But everyone has
their own limits and the love he has for Kyouichi struggles to the point of
breaking down.

As I’m reading these mangas, I
have understood the feelings of despair and dilemma of a straight man in a gay
relationship and of the feelings of responsibility of having such happiness and
comfort. But of course, relationships just don’t deal with only that. In this 2-volume
story of Imagase and Kyouichi, the true feelings of a straight man are
revealed. His own point of view and perspective of how a homosexual
relationship operates. I love how the
story develops and of how the characters suffered in their own indecisiveness
and fear. I love how the feelings grew and how they’ve struggled to control
their emotions. The story is a beautiful and painful tale that I even had teary
eyes while reading it. The mangaka is very good. I love the plot, the emotions
and the art. These two volumes of Imagase and Kyouichi’s love story and longing
is a must read! Witness their relationship from the start til the very end.
