Customer Reviews

Charming young love with endearing characters.

This one is much more than the usual school boys Yaoi. The plot is charming and refresing, the characters endearing. 3 couples here. The main pair is Kihara (prince of warm sunshine and also chief of the boys' dorm) who is all out to melt the beautiful Kyosuke's (prince of ice) heart. Theirs is a nice romance with the right angst and sweetness. But what makes the plot better than the usual are the involvement of their 3 very concerned pals, the jock Kaga-kun who is hopelessly in love with Kyosuke, the elegant Suzuki and the worry-wart Nikaido, in their relationship. The part when these 3 friends speculate about Kihara's and Kyosuke's relationship is one delightful chapter. Add to that a love quadrangle we have a very lively and sweet interacton among 4 of the boys. The quadrange eventually sort itself out and the second couple's (not giving the spoiler here) story is delightfully sweet and cute. To complicate the plot further there is Shunichi, Kyosuke's cool, aloof and "over-caring" older brother, a popular ex-student known as the "Paragon Prince". Sunichi has his own angsy romance with the insecured Hajime, one of the teachers. This mangaka's artwork is lovely with such cute chibis, her dialogue engaging and amusing. I love the lively interaction among her boys as their romances interwined. A soft Yaoi to reread now and then.
