The whole story was divided into 2 books.
When I read the first part, both characters were very cute and attractive. The story was strated with Seme's trash house. And gradually disclosed the background why it made his house in this way. The part was the best part of the story.
However in the second book, when the relationship started between the two characters. Uke's way of thinking was too toxic masculinity. His thoughts of getting married to a woman, having a child no matter it is appropriate or not for the relationship. This part was really bad. Although Seme in the end resolved the issue and both had a open talk to clear the issues between them. As a female reader, I was hurt deeply by the mindset of Uke.
This is the best book I've read recently. It's heartwarming and made me laugh and cry. Uke's personality is respectful, he started working after middle school as a host club host. During this period, everyone made fun of him, because of his poor education background, he decided to get a high school diploma in the adult school.
That's how this starry classroom (book title) came from.
Everyone in this classroom was nice.
It was also the place Uke met with his Seme(a high school kids 10years younger than him)
Seme’s whole pursuing progress was with his true heart, with a sincere and genuine attitude. This was the best part of the story.
The classmates also were funny and interesting. They support this relationship with a warm heart, which I also love this part of the story.
The relationship of the two main characters were not suddenly incurred, during their daily routine, they started to know each other (including personality and daily habits), I love the story with a detail description of love progress instead of a sudden sex. (I feel it's the trend nowadays...). They both fall in love with each other but hesitated to express the feeling was one of the best part of the story.
I bought this comic during my reading; seme gradually made me angry. I understand the author tried to make him a character with reliability, trust-able person. However, it doesn't work this way. I only feel toxic masculinity from this character. No matter what he did in the later part of the story. His toxic masculinity made me angry, and I cannot put a concentration on the story.
I purchased this book because of the high rating recently. However, I was very disappointed. Philosophy is kind of a fashion accessory in this story, it is not discussed deeply to enhance the relationship of the two main characters. On the other side, the sentence quotes of the famous philosophers are kind of the decoration of the story. Everything was too weak to reflect the core part of the relationship. The other thing I didn’t like about this comic was because of the illustration, it was too childish. The main characters are university students. However, both look like middle school kids. (which made me very unconformable).
Particularly when the two are having sex, the illustration in not touching but I feel like 2 kids have sex. (which was bad).
I have to recommend this book to everyone. The story was gradually, smoothly, silently described to the readers. The relationship between the two character was sooo well described. It took me 30 minutes to finish the reading, and I completely into the story. I hope the author could continue to draw for this story in the future.
