Deguchi has always loved Onada. Will Onada respond to his feelings? With this simple premise, "Soredemo, Yasashii Koi wo Suru" paints a sweet and satisfing romance between two grown men. You might remember Onada from "Doushitemo Furetakunai", the parent story... praise to the lord, he finally gets the closure he deserves. If you're looking to see more Shima and Togawa, well, I'll just say Togawa doesn't really appear. The strong point of this manga is realistic exchanges and behavior. You know those typical mangas where the boy loves the girl for no fucking reason or everyone is a sex god in bed? None of that happenshere! You get embarrassment towards confessing and curiosity towards.. uh.. procreation; jealousy over others and happiness at being loved. These feelings are all represented wonderfully.
In my opinion, this spin-off is on par and better than the parent story. It is a must read for fans of the both yaoi and non-yaoi lovers out there!
