This was a cute romance between a driving instructor and his student. I did like it that nothing really happened between the two characters until after Chiba was not longer teaching Yaotome. I hadn't really been expecting the secret crush but I think it made things a little fun. They were awkward together, yet I felt like they were just what each other needed. I thoroughly enjoyed the read.

THIS WAS SOOO FREAKING CUTE!! It’s a very nice completed story in just volume, with how the characters meet in driving school but also past interactions, backstory, and the sprinkle on angst. I really love the artstyle as well how simple and clean it was and how beautifully it conveyed the emotions. Definitely will also be looking into other works by this author/artist.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨️ ( 4.5 stars )
A cute and wholesome driving love story

This was a very wholesome manga. I did not expect to get attached to the characters as much as I did but .....oh boy, here we are😭🤣 the artstyle is really beautiful, the characters are really adorable, plus it has a cat ! ( only mentioned in passing tho)

This was cute, funny , adorable ( all the positive adjectives ). Shiba and yaotome were adorable as a couple I love how they geeked out over driving manga, how they communicated ( everything!).I just want a volume two of this couple so badly 😭

If you want a wholesome bl story to read to make your day brighter....this is it !

Aww! This manga was so cute and adorable. It lowkey pulled on my heart strings. I really enjoyed this manga and basically everything about it. This is a fast paced book and has a fairly simple plot. Yaotome is learning to drive due to getting a new cat and Chiba is his driving intruder, and then it goes on from there. The art style and both of our main characters are extremely likable. I wouldn’t say that there isn’t much to or anything to complain about, it’s a cute and simple romance.

This was just too cute. A great lighthearted romance that was so funny. Yaotoma became my favourite after the first chapter, he comes off so cool and calm but is so awkward. I love me an awkward dork. Chiba is a great opposite to Yaotoma's awkwardness, they are so cute together!

Very cute and fluffy! I especially appreciated the translation and author notes at the end for some context.

I really enjoyed myself while reading this short and sweet BL manga.

In this manga, we follow Chiba who is a driving instructor and Yaotome who is a 30 y/o man who wants to learn how to drive because he recently adopted a kitten. The story progresses as they grow closer together, and we learn more about their lives.

Thank you so much for letting me read this manga. I really enjoyed this story and the artwork. It just fits together so well.

What a delightfully wholesome BL!!

Loved the of this and our two main characters! Chiba is a driving instructor who takes his job and his persona at the job very seriously! This also includes not getting involved with students, but along comes the ‘sharp suited prince’ who will turn his world upside down.

This book was so dang adorable! I need so much more of them. Like honestly I was so invested in the romance and plot, it was just unlike anything i’ve read in the manga format. Like that it was meta/selfaware and that just made it so fun. This is a perfect gateway BL manga.

Yes, yes, yes.

That was so good, I can't believe how cute they are?!
I'd never read the manga with a driver license story, so I really wanted to read it, and I wasn't disappointed.

I can hardly wait for the second book.

This was such a cute and fluffy romance between driving instructor Chiba and his new student Yaotome, a manga artist that uses their interactions as inspiration for his work. I really liked the dynamic between the two characters, they had me smiling and laughing throughout the whole story. The story is fast paced but still satisfying for a one shot. The art style is great too! Overall I really enjoyed this and would recommend it if you’re looking for a quick, lighthearted bl manga!

Thank you NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you, NetGalley for an advanced ARC of this manga

This was a sweet read but at the same time I didn't like the stalker element that was added in, this was a fast read as well but I won't be continuing with this if more come out.

If you're looking for a cute Manga about a very unsure student and their confident instructor who won't let them quit, this is one for you! It reminds me a little of Heartstopper, while not being set in high school. The only complaint I have is I wish it was a little longer! Thanks to netgalley for the arc!

Setting in driving school, the story follows Yaotome, a 30 something years old, at first glance prince-like mysterious man and his driving instructor Chiba.
The first few pages had me laughing out loud, so real and funny. The panic of driving is very relatable to me. The facade of Yaotome good looks and feigned confidence was quickly shed out, showing his clumsy anxious self.

The catch in the story is, the initial display of both mcs were wearing a mask in public, which is something we all do, we have our public persona selves. The point where they learn and meet each other, was handled so so nicely.

The romance was cute, the pace felt right. Interesting to see them as individuals first and foremost to then view them as a possible couple.
Definitely a feel good type of read.
Not sure if the conflict was necessary but I can understand why the author chose to explore it that as a mean to validate Chiba’s past experience and present behaviour he adopted, I guess?

In the land of miscommunication, whoever bare their feelings naked is god, Yaotome did that beautifully. Really enjoyed how mature and emotional intelligent both were.

Funny how a story about a driving school, a single volume to boot packed so much: suits, weebs, meganes, yearning gay, cute romance and yukata-almost-sex (!)

The only “negative” aspect of the story for me was, WHY THE CAT DIDNT GET SHOWTIME?!!!! Give us gays and kitties pleaseeeee!!!!

Chiba is a driving instructor with such a shining personality that everyone can’t help but fall in love with him. However, his last relationship ended so badly that he’s sworn off love all together! Everything changes when a nervous driving student, Yaotome, gets in his car. His coworkers call Yaotome the sharp-suited prince, but it turns out he’s an easy going and accident prone guy with a heart of gold. What other secrets are about to come out between this love-scorned driving instructor and his shy student?!

This is such a cute and funny contemporary romance following a driving instructor and his shy student. What starts as a slow accidental friendship slowly blossoms into a sweet romance as Chiba and Yaotome slowly get to know each other. While it’s mostly light and fluffy, we do see their individual struggles and how Chiba became so jaded by romance.

If you like contemporary romances with a touch of humor, I think this will be an excellent read for you. It’s a pretty quick read, but it’s a sweet and funny one at that. Plus, the artwork is nice and helps bring the story to life. You can’t go wrong by picking this up! I liked it so much that I’m excited to check out the author’s other work in the future.

This was so cute!! I loved it! It moved very quickly, but it was a fun, lighthearted read! The bit about the manga was a bit creepy tho. I'd hate to be turned into a character in a manga. But I really enjoyed the story and the two main characters were adorable. I love where it ended, but I would also love more! Thanks for the chance to read this early.

I love this BL!
I'm not an instant love girlie, so showing the process of how a relationship works, from the awkwardness at the beginning to being intimate, makes me really happy.
I hope to read more from this author.

It felt like a soft cuddle and a breath of fresh air.
Even though at times the pacing felt a bit rushed and some scenes came off as slightly random, especially since the story doesn’t go too deep into the characters’ backgrounds ,it still managed to create a warm and cozy atmosphere.
If you’re looking for a BL that’s light, fun, and doesn’t demand too much emotional investment or narrative complexity, this might be just right for you. Simple, but heartwarming.
On a personal note, I was pleasantly surprised by the unconventional setting of the story. I
t’s rare to see a driving school used as the main backdrop, and that made it feel even more fun and enjoyable. It’s a yes for me.

"Driving school instructors are the pinnacle of popular! People fall for them left and right!"
Such a silly premise… It's a silly lighthearted manga.

I got the ARC of this from NetGalley, and I'm really glad I did, because I probably wouldn't have picked it up otherwise. It has such a weird title that doesn't really fit the story.

The art was great, and the story suprisingly interesting. Simple and cute. I really liked it!
