Opinion
Very cute and very sweet. Only thing the guy had a lot of cliche 'pet the dog' moments and I didn't think the girl had transform like that. (then again neither did he so it was cute! )

Opinion
I actually liked this story although I don't generally read shounen ai. The ending is very touching and a bit of a surprise. And sad...
