Nagisa Furuya

A wistful summer blossoms between two high-school boys finding themselves and each other through a shared love of movies in this moving, dramatic, two-volume BL romance series, perfect for fans of Seven Days, Given, or I Hear the Sunspot. Chiharu Saeki and Wataru Toda are two high school students who share a common hobby: They love to watch movies. After they meet, they become fast friends, until one day, when Chiharu confesses his love for Wataru. Wataru says that Chiharu's confession doesn't bother him, and the boys continue throughout their summer, going to pilgrimages to see film spots from their favorite movies. But the more time he spends with Chiharu, Wataru realizes that he may not only be as unaffected by Chiharu's confession as he claimed to be, but those feelings may also be mutual...

Update: This is just for the 1st vol, not my complete thoughts for the whole series. I plan on rereading it once I give a damn about reading vol 3 because I am Nagisa'd-out.

Honestly, I really did expect a bit more from this one. I've been on a Nagisa Furuya binge right now and I've noticed they really like slow burn high school romance love confessions (help! we get it! ohmygod!). I also feel like the story in this vol felt empty? Maybe because I kept see this get hyped to hell and back about an emotional slow burn romance that I thought I would get... emotional. Although, because we have 3 vols, having love confession be quick and out of the way so we can get more time with slowly grouping together I'm much more in favor of.

Most of Nagisa's other stuff ended right when they started dating so we don't often get enough time to see them be together. I like that we're getting more time with these two as a couple with this one. I'm interested in continuing this.

it's a quiet BL manga that's quite likable yet compared to the first book, this book didn't really add anything substantial to the storyline nor the characters' development

I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 

This story was everything I hoped it would be. I am obsessed with Wataru and Saeki. Their connection felt natural. I also appreciated that this story did not include excessive drama outside of their relationship. The entire driving force was their connection and learning more about each other while also learning about themselves. The way sexuality was approached was also beautiful. Labels were not a focus. I appreciated this story not putting too much value on that. I think this story would be incredibly valuable to have on the shelves of any school or classroom library. I am deeply looking forward to future editions with these characters.

A very sweet read

Key words: shonen ai, romance, school life, high school, contemporary

I loved this manga. It was so cute. Do not worry, there are no sex scenes in this manga as this is a shonen ai, hence it is about the characters developing and realising their feelings towards each other. 
The characters were adorable. I loved them both. The story is quite fast-paced but it didn’t feel too rushed as it sometimes does with manga like this. I can’t wait to read more of Chiharu and Wataru in the next volume.

I recommend to people looking for a sweet shonen ai.

4.5/5

Thank you Netgalley for this eArc in exchange of my honest opinion.
