Another great work from Yamamoto-sensei

Yamamoto-sensei is one of the best at creating great character dynamics, and this story is no exception. I really enjoyed seeing the contrast between the two leads… also PHILIPPINES mentioned 😍

Cuter than cute

Shame it ends kind of with an open ending but all is well when it ends well. Oh and that loan shark he deserves his own story. Super cute story totally recommend.

high school friends to lovers

Kotetsuko Yamamoto sensei has the best story. My favorite from her releases is Like a Honto Yajuu. Immediately I knew that I would love this story as well. Emu facing a debt left by his father was confronted by a debt collector.. him having a difficult and unable to pay the debt the debt collector advised him to try selling his body at a gay club. Before any 'misfortune' happens to Emu his rich high school mate spotted him and thought that he could purchase Emu but... ( leaving spoilers to what Emu has to work for Nenji ).
Through all the ups and downs with the debt nearly cleared their relationship too also took a different turn. I love how our uke's facial expression are drawn it's yamamoto sensei's style to have her uke blush so prettily.

体格差

Physical disparity

小さくて可愛いこてつこ先生には珍しい不憫受け少し口は悪いけど体格身長差がかなりあるので美味しい関係が見れて嬉しい

I'm happy to be able to see a delicious relationship because the small and cute teacher Kotetsuko takes pity and is a bit bad, but there are quite a few differences in physique and height

「人の縁は大切に」を地で行く物語。

A story that goes from place to place with “Cherish Human Relationships.”

This review contains spoilers. 父親が遺した借金（なんと五百万！）を返すために、高校時代の同級生の稔持の祖父の家で暮らし始めた笑。今は、祖父が紹介してくれた割のいい仕事に就いている。ゲイ専門のクラブに売られそうなったところを、笑に好意を持つ稔侍に間一髪で救われるところから始まる物語です。笑の表情にいちいちキュンとする稔持がいいし、そんな稔持を意識し始める笑が可愛い。かなり不憫な笑が、懸命に生きようとして借金を少しづつでも返そうと頑張る姿にじんときます。なぜか借金取りの久住さんのことが恰好良く描かれていて…ツボでした。最後は稔持が買ったたった1枚の宝くじが当たって…のめでたしめでたしの大団円に（ちょっと都合よすぎだけど…）やったー！て思いました。

This review contains spoilers. The debt left by my father (a whopping 5 million!) I started living at my high school classmate Toshimochi's grandfather's house in order to get it back lol. Right now, I have a good job that my grandfather introduced me to. It's a story that begins when a place that seems to be sold to a club specializing in gays is instantly saved by Minoru Samurai, who has a penchant for laughter. It's good to have perseverance that makes you laugh one by one, and laughing when you start to be aware of that kind of happiness is cute. My laugh is pretty pitiful, and I'm amazed at how hard they try to repay their debts little by little in an attempt to live hard. For some reason, Mr. Kuju, the debt collector, was depicted nicely... it was a pressure point. At the end, I won only one lottery ticket that Toshimochi bought... and I did it for a happy and happy big yen (a little too convenient...)! That's what I thought.

作者様買いです

I'm buying the author

おもしろかった！最初は笑はツンデレ系かと思ってたけど、真面目で常識人なだけだった。方や稔持は真面目なハイスペイケメンかと思いきや、天然侍でラストにはホントに笑ってしまった。宝くじが当たったり、バイトから正社員になったりマンガならではのご都合展開も今までの笑の働きっぷりを見てたら純粋に「良かったねぇ、笑ちゃん！」としか思わない。皆キャラが良くてステキでした。

That was interesting! At first, I thought lol was a tsundere person, but he was just a serious person with common sense. I thought Kataya Toshimochi was a serious, high-speaky guy, but I really laughed at the end because he was a natural samurai. When I watched Lol's hard work up until now, such as winning the lottery, going from a part-time job to a full-time employee, and other convenient developments unique to manga, I was genuinely like, “That was great, Lo-chan!” I can only think so. Everyone had good characters and was wonderful.

笑がかわい！

Laughter is cute!

This review contains spoilers. 面白かった〜！やくざさんがなんやかんや優しいのが先生のいいところ。笑くんの借金も無事にねんじが返してくれてよかったし、2人がちゃんと好きあっていちゃつく感じも可愛かった〜！癒されました。

This review contains spoilers. That was interesting~! The good thing about the teacher is that the yakuza is so kind. I'm glad that Nerji safely paid off Laugh-kun's debts, and the feeling that the two of them really liked each other and were flirting was so cute! I was healed.

最初と最後で違う作品？

Are the first and last works different?

１巻、２巻とちょっと思ってたのと違う､､買ったの失敗(泣)と思ってたら３巻で逆転満塁ホームラン！お爺さんの「大衆演劇？」のあたりから笑いが止まらん！だけど読まなきゃ！と思ってページをめくっても思い出し笑いで涙が出て来るーーー♡♡♡最後の武士の姿で登場した時はヤラレました、ノックアウト！笑い死に寸前。作者さん〜どうして１巻目からあの調子で描いてくれなかったんですか？１巻、２巻の途中までは☆3.5だけど３巻で☆8です。

Volumes 1 and 2 are a bit different from what I thought, but when I thought it was a failure (crying), it was a reversal full base home run in volume 3! Grandpa's “popular drama?” I can't stop laughing from that point on! But I have to read it! Even when I turned the page thinking about it, I remember laughing and came to tears... ♡♡♡ I was mad when I appeared in the form of the last samurai, knocked it out! I almost died laughing. The author ~ why didn't you draw in that way from volume 1? It's ☆ 3.5 until the middle of volume 1 and 2, but volume 3 is ☆ 8.

最高だ。最高すぎる。

It's awesome. It's too awesome.

作者様の作品中最も好きです。攻めの天然度が絶妙。脇のお爺ちゃんとお姉ちゃんも本当にこの人達以上の設定はないよね。というハマり具合で、さすがだなあー。と思います。何回読んでもまたすぐに読みたくなる作品の一つです。ホントオススメ?

I like the most of the author's works. The natural degree of attack is exquisite. Waki's grandpa and older sister really don't have a better setting than these people. I'm so addicted to it, that's true. I think so. It's one of those works that you want to read right away no matter how many times you read it. do you really recommend it?

納得の3巻

Convincing volume 3

This review contains spoilers. 面白かったです！受けは考え過ぎるけど、攻めは後先考えずに突っ走る。これがまたいい感じに絡み合ってるんだよね。そしておじいさん。おじいさんもいい雰囲気を醸し出してて、受けと攻めを見守るいい方で、一度話してみたいと思ってしまった。漫画ですが…ま、なんといっても武士（笑）が一番最高だったかな。変人大好き。もう少し二人とおじいさんを見ていたいって思うけど、3巻で納得の気持ちいい終わり方でした。作品を作ってくださってありがとうございました。

This review contains spoilers. That was interesting! They think too much about receiving, but they rush ahead without thinking ahead when attacking. This is intertwined in a nice way again, isn't it? And grandpa. The old man also had a nice atmosphere, and he was a good person to watch out for receiving and attacking, so I wanted to talk about it once. It's a comic... well, after all, samurai (laughs) was the best. I love freaks. I'd like to watch the two of them a little more, but volume 3 made me happy and was satisfied with how it ended. Thank you very much for creating this work.

よくある借金返済ものだけど、キャラクターがみんな魅力的で面白かったです。私は取立てヤクザの久住さんがお気に入りです。私的に男子の乳首はあんまり強調しないほうが好みですが作者様はぷっくりしてるのがお好きみたいですね（笑）

It's a common debt repayment thing, but all the characters were charming and interesting. I like Mr. Kuju from Takaji Yakuza. Personally, I prefer not to put too much emphasis on boys' nipples, but the author seems to like them plump (laughs)
