Side notes: Nope not yet at least this isn't a yaoi nor shounen ai though Naked Ape has some strong connections to that direction and I's sure that this was listed once under shounen ai/ yaoi as this isn't my first time seeing this title. Still for the time being I'm keeping it under shoujo (which still allows some shounen ai tendencies to be seen). So don't mind my mumble here as I'm rotten to the core if thinking how many yaois I've read until today.^-^b  So let's begin... The art is on quite good level though it's a bit stiff and in that sense it may seem also awkward. The story has strong underlining toward to yaoi but as now I don't know how far the author lets this tendency to progress. In general the story seems okay to read but the future is still open as there hasn't been more than one chapter translated.^-^
