The mischievous Jian Yi and the level-headed Zhan Zhengxi have been best friends since early childhood. Now, as they are entangled in the follies of high school, their bond has deepened. Jian Yi all but hides his romantic feelings for Zhan Zhengxi, who, despite pretending to dislike Jian Yi's teasing, cannot keep his true emotions from occasionally slipping through.
Amid various festivals, classroom antics, and frequent shenanigans, Jian Yi and Zhan Zhengxi are soon joined by the rebellious delinquent Mo Guanshan and the handsome flirt He Tian. Together, they embrace the vibrant days of youth—always with a hint of romance.
*this is my first review ever, I don't want to get into details and I'm doing it because there's no review here*
Easily one of the best BLs ever, a cute and fun slice of life story with a good comedy and well-written characters. I truly enjoyed reading it, probably more than all of the BLs and most of the things I've read. Definitely give it a try if you are into BL and haven't read this yet.
Personally, I prefer the first (main) couple and wish we would get more of those two but the other couple are so nice too so I still am enjoying it...:)
So few reviews on such a good Manga! I'm so glad it was finally added to MAL.
Right off the bat I have to talk about the abusive and unhealthy relationship dynamics in this manga. Unfortunately in manga, and especially BL, this is to be expected at this point. It's a drama, you're going to get some f-ed up relationship dynamics. They are very physically violent with each other, and do not communicate in health ways or have healthy boundaries.
If the abusive relationship dynamics aren't deal breakers for you, (you'll know pretty quickly if they are or not,) the story is so funny and heartwarming...and engaging. It draws you in and you desperately want to know what happens next to the main cast.
The art is compelling and beautiful, even if (again like always in manga) they are high schoolers that look nothing like high schoolers. But it's always refreshing to me to have a cast of beautiful men instead of beautiful women. Which is just a general reason to enjoy BL.
It gets pretty gritty at times, with violence and blood, and yet those serious moments are contrasted well by the slapstick comedy of HS age boys, and the ever blossoming romance.
Even though it's ongoing I would recommend it highly, and continue to come back for every new chapter, which I don't do with many ongoing mangas. So check it out!
The story is very unique. Nothing could be predictable other than Jian Yi's silliness. I enjoyed every second of it.
The art style is beautiful and absolutely fitting for the story.I especially like the rawness of it.
The characters are definitely well rounded. Like every other person they've their own set of flaws and strengths.
Yes,the characters's reaction to the situations were realistic and relatable.
I absolutely adore this series and everything about it and I understand that not everything is for everyone, so if anyone who likes BL and some wholesome school friendship story then they'd read this. This is breath of fresh air. There's only green flags...all around. A captivating serie.
