I like melancholy, and this manga has a very melancholic mood. The story is simple, nothing particularly special about it...The interesting thing about this manga lies more in the "atmosphere"... in the mood it generates. I think it transcends the yaoi genre... this particular manga would work even without the one sex scene it has... there is more to it than that. Yaoi characters, as a rule, tend to be very stereotyped... and I don´t think that´s the case here. It is yaoi because it has an explicit sex scene, but the general feeling you get from the manga as a whole is closer to shounen-ai,because of the development of the characters, and the bond between them.

I think you can enjoy this manga regardless of whether you like the genre or not.
