thanks for pick up this manga to translate, it's been on my list for a while!!

It’s such a gentle story. Whatever the outcome of their relationship, I’m sure the flame will be soft and warm

 

[suedoe]

As someone starved of male companionship, this manga is just about what I needed.

oh rare to see no bl tag, tho i'm sure some ppl would ship them the same way there would be with a female friendship story but nice to see some platonic stuff

 

[Rougerogue]

Ah, maybe it's a QPR? A Queer/Quasi Platonic Relationship? Like best friend but a little more committed. Nice to see that kind of relationship explored/celebrated

 

[yuicchi]

i just saw this manga is tagged bl in mal page. i really thought it's about friendship, i'm disappointed

 

[Jgold101]

I really hope it's not bl

This work should not be considered BL. Author’s Twitter suggests she intends to depict love that exists outside the typical romantic-sexual mold. I think queerplatonic is an excellent description of it.

nothing wrong with interpreting it that way, someone said buddy daddies had a similar vibe?, although other than them being strangers versus reuniting, it's kinda weird that it says "These two men are not friends" in the summary, i mean i understand not wanting labels on relationships but hopefully they'd consider themselves friends or so because out of context/not reading anything i would've assumed it would've been "they coincidentally met and just moved in together on a 'whim'" or so, but i guess that kinda summary sticks out (tho i imagine they consider themselves on good enough terms to live together versus "we're living together outta convenience/there was an issue with the landlord/room so we had to share a place in the same apartment complex")

Dunno what other series by this author is like, i'm fine with it not being bl even if some ppl might ship them but hopefully with that kinda summary it'll show them 'getting along' without necessarily some kinda 'fanservice/teasing/bait' to where the author's not 'committing' to it for whatever reason, as opposed to zettai bl where it's a parody/satire
