"I've had a - what do they call it? A 'premonition of love'...?"
| This manga starts out with two step-brothers who are very close. Akira is in love with his older brother, Satoru. Satoru doesn't appear to realize exactly how his little brother feels about him. Akira's life gets complicated with Satoru starts to hang out with a girl named Miyata. |  |
Also, a photographer named Kaoru wont leave him alone. Kaoru cheerfully hangs around Akira despite rejections, being pushed down stairs, run into to, etc. It's an amusing plotline, but Kaoru's feelings seem to come out of nowhere. Apparently, it was love at first site. Also, the fact that Akira starts to have feelings for this annoying seme also seems to come out of nowhere.
There is a basis shown for feeling between the brothers, but I highly doubt the story will go that way. I just I'd just find the brothers being together more interesting. That isn't due to any incest kink. It's just that the story provides a basis for that pairing, but not the pairing that will likely wind up together.
I didn't like the art in this at all. The blank eyes creeped me out. The odd, outlined style used for the eyes would be alright if the rest of the face was drawn that way. But, when it's combined with the heavy lines for the mouth it gives a very odd effect. Some of the faces are less strange, like the main characters. Some of the minor character's faces are particularly weird and they look like soulless dolls. It's even creepier when it's kids.
