This is an interesting twist on the high school love story. There's a rumor going around that Touji Seryou will go out with anyone who asks him out on a Monday. There's a catch, he breaks up with his girlfriend at the end of the week.A lover with a one week expiration date!
Well, imagine his surprise when Yuzuru Shino sees him at the school gate on Monday morning, and on a whim asks Seryou out! And imagine Shino's surprise when he realizes that Seryou takes him up on the offer. What happens is a very nice love story that unfolds day by day. And, you learn about Seryou's reasons for his one-week expiration on relationships.
The book is written by Venio Tachibana and illustrated by Rihito Takarai. The illustrations are wonderful, very expressive and distinct. Takarai has her own style -- kind of breezy. The story kept my interest, which is no small feat when it comes to high school BL.
Now, the catch, it has two more volumes (I think) - this volume is Monday through Thursday. There is Friday, and a Saturday through Sunday. Amazon doesn't have either of these volumes listed. I hope this isn't going to be like Kiss Blue, the second volume published two years later - because frankly, that's just WRONG!

Hmm -- this one keeps popping up on my Amazon recommendations. Maybe I'll give it a try.
Thanks for the heads up.
I enjoyed this book, and I am anxious to get the next volume. I hope that it gets published! Keeping my fingers crossed. I also enjoyed the art as well.
Got it, read it, love it. I can hardly wait for volume 2 -- it's really excellent.
The second volume will be out this summer! Wish it was sooner.
