Several stories here. The first with the title characters (Nanase and Heiji) is the typical, I know what I want and am going to do what I need to get it. The second related story line is about the school doctor, his cousin (friend of Nanase), and another student who likes the cousin. The doctor tries to tell the student that his cousin is a player but he has to learn it the hard way it seems. There is a five page story just stuck in there not sure of it relevance. The stories are just BL, though they have adult themes (one guy talks with another about being seme or uke) and "doing it". I liked it but if your looking for intimate encounters or hardcore look elsewhere.

While I'm an avid Fujiyama Hyouta fan, and I'd readily talk about how I love her art style and her way with characters, this particular yaoi wasn't at it's best. At times it felt kinda shallow and rushed, only skimming the surface of what was really beneath it all. I don't regret my purchase, I just wish it had a bit more context to it than it did. Though that could only be because I compared it to her other work, Dear Green, Dear Green: Hitomi no Ounowa, and Lover's Flat. It's a nice read if you have nothing better to do, and want something that's easy on the mind and kinda relaxing.

The characters are fun and rather likable in a strange way, even the side characters had bundles of personality. It felt like it was all encompassing rather than focusing on just one couple, it felt more broad in a sense. You got a glimpse of a lot of personalities, which helped ease the monotony and made it rather enjoyable. I'd recommend it only if you're a fan of her previous works, or curious. I do plan to buy it's sequel: Sunflower and the sorta kinda side story: Freefall Romance.

This story is consider funny. I also include few one-shots. I would love to continue this series.
