Synopsis

After stealing a wallet on a train ride, pickpocket Jimmy believes that he has slipped away scot-free. However, upon meeting the gaze of Reese Heyman, he realizes that he has been caught red-handed. Yet rather than hand him over to the police, Reese only makes Jimmy work with him at the bookstore for a day.

Despite the lenient punishment, Jimmy feels humiliated and enraged. Seeking revenge, he attempts to loot Reese's apartment; but instead, he discovers that the man is a former police officer! Terrified of what might happen, Jimmy abandons the raid and returns to his own life.

Still wary of retribution for his attempted burglary, Jimmy overhears some cops gossiping about Reese's retirement. Intrigued by the retired cop's convoluted past, Jimmy pretends to have turned over a new leaf and asks Reese if he can continue working part-time at the bookstore. As they carry out their duties, Jimmy finds himself growing more fond of his co-worker—and as his feelings morph into love, their relationship slowly flourishes.

Drama arises between the two because of Reese's dark past, a nice departure from a typical lovers' ...

Compared with a lot of yaoi manga I have read, this one has a plot with an interesting backstory to the characters. Considering that it only has seven chapters shows that it was tightly tied together by the author. I found it intriguing how the author went out of their way to highlight the backstory of Reese & the reason why he lives the life he has. Although, I would have loved it if they went over the backstory of Jimmy a little more. Despite giving it an overall score of a seven, I did quite enjoy reading this book. Typically in yaoi manga the ...

Mixed Feelings

I'm not sure about it. When I read BL, I like to see how feelings develop, even though it's a short story, you can read such a great romantic stories. And this one
doesn't please me.

Their feelings seem rushed; you don't really know why they are in love with each other. Jimmy feels more attraction than anything else, and Reese, I'm not sure. It's as if he feels lonely and accepts someone who treats him well.

I don’t really like Reese’s backstory, because it makes no sense that, in such a delicate situation, he’d forgive Jimmy so easily. That’s the only thing that doesn’t quite ...
