 Taro is a shy high school student who has grown apart from his best friend and spends his birthday all alone. Feeling lonely, he starts using social media, where he meets someone named “Ai” and gradually becomes attracted to him. They agree to meet in person on Taro’s birthday, but the person who shows up is a man wearing a mascot costume…!? A youthful BL romance that begins with an unexpected encounter through social media. 

My Thoughts

I was instantly drawn in by the cute, poppy art style, so I had to pick it up! I also love that it’s a complete story in just one volume instead of being an ongoing series. It makes it super easy to get into! ✨

Also, can we talk about the uke’s name? Taro is just way too cute. And the fact that he’s this shy, easily flustered type makes him even more adorable. 🥹

Since he’s the only one on the cover, you start reading while wondering, “Okay, so who’s he gonna end up with?” When I finally found out who it was, I couldn’t help but go, “OHHH, so THAT’S who!” 😂

I’m sure some people will figure it out right away, but I definitely didn’t see it coming!

The story is really sweet and wholesome, with nothing too explicit. I absolutely melted over how pure and genuinely teenage-like their relationship feels. It’s such a refreshing read. 🥹✨

And the seme is totally smitten with Taro-kun, which is honestly adorable. I just wanted to hug both of them at the same time. ←

I’m usually an e-book person, but the cute, poppy art style won me over so much that I ended up buying the physical copy anyway. If you’re looking to add something cute to your collection, this one is definitely worth picking up! ✨
