No reviews yet? I guess I'll break the ice. My biggest gripe is the dialogue/translation. When discussing the central theme of 'being dirty', the writer/translater make it very vague, so I found it hard to understand (That might just be me). But from my understanding, the comparison between a man and a homeless man is how they are viewed as dirty by others. The people judge Hama solely on appearance, but Shouji's boyfriend judges Shouji on his actions/intimacy. The art is decent, nothing grand, but it gets the job done. I find that a few read this cause they found Hama attractive, and I'm in the same boat.It was nice to see multiple locations illustrated beyond the shop and street.
The characters were somewhat chaotic in personality. Maybe I didn't anticipate so many to be straightforward and blunt. But I feel it added to the comedy of Shouji pussyfooting around issues. Hama stayed consistent right toward the end, where he changed a bit too quickly; I think another chapter of Hama warming up to Shouji would've helped.
Overall, I enjoyed it and planned to read the sequel! This manga made me smile and was wholesome despite the sexual theme.
