Author : 

SACHIMO

Story :  Never get serious with anyone. No matter what. This is one of the principles I live by. An elite architect meets a tanned manwhore carpenter. Yamashiro is a talented carpenter who has a bad habit of only going after straight virgins over 30. But he also has a strict set of rules to go along with all that sex. While on the job, he meets the mysterious Yashiro, an elite Class 1 architect. Yashiro's first impression of Yamashiro? A complete p*rvert. And even though they were only supposed to do it once... You won't be able to take your eyes off this macho manwhore as a battle of blue-collar and white-collar and more unfolds in this comical yet steaming hot boys' love.

    3 chapters in and I was in for the long haul
    This review contains spoilers. Premise seemed somewhat interesting. First chapter piqued my interest but didn't immediately grab me but I figured I'd give it a few chapters before deciding to drop it. Chapter 3 hit me with the characters' motivations and backstories and I was in for the rest.

    The characters' tragic backstories/motivations can come across kind of simple or cliche, but the emotion put in the panels are what really got me. That scene of Yamashiro leaving home to go off in his own and stating what it was he really wanted grabbed me and that's when I know I was gonna have to see this through.

    The art is nice and pleasing. The emotions are drawn well enough that make the story pack a punch for that extra oomph to the feels. The H scenes are appealing. I guess the only complaint is that it's too short so it feels kind of rushed to its conclusion. I wish it was possible to give the relationship more time to breathe and develop further. Overall decent read and I got more out of it than I expected.

    Mixed opinion
    This review contains spoilers. I think this story is good but sometimes it’s messy and hard to understand. The stalker behavior of the architect is washed off very quick. The drawings are beautiful

    Emotional and introspective
    I recently finished Principles by Sachimo, and wow, this manga left me with so many emotions. The story is very unique with a blend of introspection and relationship dynamics, which I think Sachimo really excels at. The characters feel incredibly human—flawed, vulnerable, and sometimes frustrating, but in a way that makes you root for them.

    The pacing is slower compared to some of Sachimo's other works, but I think it works here. It gives you time to really sink into the characters' internal struggles and understand their decisions. The art, as always, is stunning. This author has a way of drawing expressions that hit you right in the heart—there were moments where just a look or gesture spoke volumes.
