I love this. It's so cute. ( )

After a night of bar hopping Kurokawa accidentally knocks into slightly flakey, Tatsumi, a college hopeful lost in the city. Taking pity on Tatsumi's plight (especially since his very drunken friend pukes on the poor young man) Kurokawa allows him the stay the night at his place. This leads to a surprising personal epiphany for Kurokawa when he discovers he has lost his heart to the innocent young student. In addition to the startling revelation of his own sexual preference, Kurokawa also finds the situation further confused by the appearance of Tatsumi's homophobic older brother, an aggressive American student and Kurokawa's own unpredictable mother.

This was a rather cute start what seems like a very likeable boy’s love manga series. Although nothing really gets resolved and the situations could be called kind of cliché, it is the author's humorous take on the character of Kurokawa that frequently had me laughing out loud. This made the reading very enjoyable. The only real complaint that I had was that Tatsumi's character seemed kind of underdeveloped.

The artwork in here was pretty decent. The older brother really reminded me a lot of Gravitation's Eiri Yuki, both in looks and attitude, which I guess could have been coincidental (?) The characters were all easy to tell apart, which I like.

After reading the first two volumes of this series I can certainly say it is one that I'd like to follow through with to the end. ( )
