Review:
I love Makoto Tateno-sensei!!
I have to admit I wanted to smack Tomoe with a sledgehammer when he was first introduced. But then, that’s the reaction Tateno-sensei was going for. Even after the big reveal, I still wanted to smack Tomoe but with a pillow instead of a heavy blunt object. He was an idiot and doesn’t deserve someone as caring as Yoji, but they are such an amazing couple.
The second storyline with Yusuke and Hiroto was equally sweet and cute. Both men are stubborn and there are misunderstandings and they bounced off of each other so well.
This is an enjoyable one-shot that any Tateno-sensei fan will love.
