After weeks of reading the Sasaki To Miyano manga I've decided to read the manga spin - off "Hirano to Kagiura" This will be my first ever manga review XD and I have a terrible English Grammar so Sorry!! It took me months to catch up with the manga since I'm very busy with my studies T__T This is just by personal opinion in the manga so please respect my critique.I don't think any relationship will be perfect, that doesn't even exists! There will always be problems, but you need to keep calm and try to solve them without hurting anyone you care. Not every couple is meant to be, so I understand if they end their relationship. Even if it doesn't longs, you need to enjoy the ride. Miyano, a first-year student at an all-boys high school, witnesses another student being beat up. As he is about to intercede, second-year student Sasaki steps in and breaks up the fight. A few days later, Miyano visits the classroom of his fellow disciplinary committee member Hirano, who is in the same class as Sasaki. Miyano thanks him for stopping the fight, though Hirano mistakes Sasaki's interest in him for harassment and warns him not to bother Miyano. The bullies Sasaki intercepted beat him up in retaliation. Afterwards, Miyano offers him a band-aid and Sasaki half-jokingly asks him out on a date. In the coming months, the two boys become friends and begin commuting to school together. Sasaki asks for manga recommendations and Miyano reveals his love for the yaoi genre, leading to him routinely lending him copies of his favorite manga which they privately discuss at school. Sasaki develops a crush on Miyano. At the café, Hanzawa is telling fortunes and Miyano has a session with him. He asks for advice in feeling more confident in his desires and Hanzawa advises him to continue forward even if he is uncertain. As Sasaki watches from a distance, the drag competition is held and ends with Miyano being named runner-up. The festival ends and the two boys watch the fireworks together from the school. Miyano, abashed by Sasaki's open affection towards him and unwilling to risk hurting him, asks for more time to give him an answer. Sasaki agrees as he conceals his own anxiety and impatience. Sometime later at the mall, Miyano runs into Sasaki, who is there shopping with his older sister and Ogasawara. Ogasawara asks Miyano what he thinks of Sasaki, and Miyano sheepishly says he admires him. Sasaki intervenes before Ogasawara can push further and changes the subject. Sasaki and Miyano see a yaoi film together alongside a mostly-female audience and afterwards overhear two other moviegoers innocently speculating that they are on a date. Miyano finally accepts that he is in love with Sasaki. Kagiura comes clean about the state of his grades to Hirano, who questions how Kagiura's grades are this bad when they spend a similar amount of time studying. Hirano realizes that Kagiura devotes a significant amount of his time to basketball as well, meaning that they are, in fact, not on an equal playing field. He thinks about why he's so sweet to Kagiura, and comes to the conclusion that while he originally intended to be kind to his roommate just so he could have a comfortable dorm life, Kagiura's honest and happy reactions made Hirano want to spoil him more and more.

The novelization of Hirano and Kagiura covers their first semester as roommates together in the dorm.

They encounter a cat carrying a key in its mouth which turns out to be the misplaced key to the student council room. The cow keychain is found inside soon after.

And with that said, I need to say that this is so relatable, the relationship of dependancy that is constructed between them is something that almost every person has felt. The only thing that I don't get is Hirano's behaviour, Hirano and Kagiura meet during summer vacation to catch a night bus, riding half a day's worth out into the country to Kagiura's grandfather's house. Hirano meets Kagiura's family and plays with his cousins, even getting sunburnt and needing Kagiura's care in the process. At the stroke of midnight on Hirano's birthday, Kagiura presents Hirano with a gift: new earrings. Hirano is a character well known to us through the Sasaki and Miyano anime, since he isn't just Sasaki's close friend but also a loving upperclassman to Miyano.
