Mettiti con me, Yuzuro!
Yuzuro Shino è uno studente di terza liceo. Un lunedì mattina, al cancello della scuola, incontra Toji Seryo, un suo senpai al club di tiro con l'arco. Saryo è molto popolare tra le compagne di tutte le classi, ma ci sono delle voci che girano sul suo conto. Secondo queste voci, Seryo si metterebbe sempre con la prima ragazza che gli dichiara il suo amore il lunedì mattina, per poi lasciarla immancabilmente nel fine settimana. In pratica, un partner da una settimana... Yuzuru si lascia scappare un commento con eccessiva leggerezze e... i due si mettono insieme!
Seven days: Monday → Thursday Reviews
-
An outstanding, heart warming, beautiful manga that features the romance between two high school boys.If you are a veteran BL fan like me, or quite the opposite, or just a fan of good ole' romance, you will love this manga.
FYI If you are looking for smut, this might not be for you as it focuses more on a romantic relationship rather than a sexual one. It was really cute, at first I thought this was gonna be like those cheesy yaoi manga but it wasn't like that at all.
Characterization was really good. I felt like I could connect with them, I wanted to cry with them and laugh with them.It was interesting to see how these two characters were exploring their sexuality.Seryou is beautiful, aloof to most, strange, sensitive and lonely. He is a beautifully perfect foil to pretty, misunderstood and straight-forward Yuzuru.
Although this may not focus on the issues that LGBT people face, I think it's a wonderful love story. It was not forced, and seemed very consensual to me.💜

I was looking forward to a lighthearted read, and Seven Days was just that: a lovely high school romance manga! The protagonists were incredibly sweet, with simple art that kept me engaged all the way through.
~★~ What is this book about? ~★~
High school archery player/popular boy Touji Seryou is said to go out with whoever asks him out Monday morning each week. This Monday, the first person Seryou comes across is his archery teammate Yuzuru Shino. He never could have expected that Shino would ask him out, and Shino finds himself even more surprised by Seryou’s acceptance of the proposition. The two have a week to find their footing and decide whether or not their relationship could become permanent.

Seven Days was first published in 2010. I felt a wonderful burst of nostalgia at seeing little things like flip phones drawn into the story. The background imagery was drawn wonderfully, though the character art falls on the more simple side compared to what I’ve seen in other mangas. By the end, the character depictions really grew on me, and I ended up loving the way Seryou and Shino were drawn!
Both main characters were wonderful! I loved that sexuality was never a problem for the protagonists or supporting cast. The questions were only ever about whether or not their relationship was real- whether or not it would work in a long term setting.
I can’t wait to continue with the next volume! I had such a fun time with Seven Days, and love sweet Seryou and Shino! -
La premisa me hace gracia, no tanto el desarrollo. De todas maneras, ellos son muy monos.

It was good but I found it a bit confusing at times. Also it seems like we might have a love triangle situation and I'm not a fan of that.

I own this both in English and Japanese, and in every format. I've re-read this more times that I can count. To this day it is still my favorite boys love manga. A soft, beautifully drawn story about how Shino, a senior whose looks and personality don't match, and Seryou, a freshman who goes out with a new person starting every Monday morning, grow close and ultimately fall in love in a span of a week.
-
A very, very lovely high school romance with just the right amount of angst that made my heart ache just so. Very sweet.
I especially loved how the two main characters both learn to look past each other's facades. My favorite moment was when Seryou told Shino that he was likable just the way he is. Isn't that the kind of thing everyone wants to hear? And it's the kind of thing that could be just cheesy if done badly (and I've read many, many examples of that sort of thing), but here it feels genuine. I suppose that is what separates good romance books/manga from bad ones - there's no denying that there are only a handful of romance patterns at best, but it really depends on what the author does with them. Anyway, my point is that this is a great example of a romance (and young adult) story done well. -
Una lectura rápida que no me ha hecho sentir nada.
Aparte de una representación convincente de lo que significa sentir celos, no hay mucho más que pueda decirse a su favor. El "romance" (si es que puede llamarse así a todos esos incómodos momentos) me ha parecido superficial y mal ejecutado.
Una buena premisa desperdiciada, con una traducción que no ayuda (terrible la edición en español). -
Una monada

4.5 Stars! This is a review of the series rather than just volume one.
Now before I start babbling about how much I loved Seven Days, I need to say that I haven’t read much shounen-ai. Not because I dislike the genre, but because I always seem to be picking up the more… sexually explicit titles by mistake. These little mishaps has caused me to kind of avoid the genre except for on a few rare occasions.
But luckily, I stumbled upon a couple of raving reviews for this gem. And then I found out that the featured couple don’t do anything more than kiss a couple of times. So I started reading. I am so, so glad I did.
Seven Days first introduces us to Shino Yuzuro, a handsome boy who is described to have an air of perfection around him. But because of his blunt, kind-of-impolite personality, girls who date him become disappointed and dump him, and even his friends say he is a waste of a pretty face.
On a certain Monday, Yuzuru happens to meet with Seryou, a guy who is notorious for his habit of dating the first person to ask him out at the beginning of the week and then immediately dumping that same person on Sunday if he doesn’t develop any feelings for that person (he normally doesn’t). And since Seryou makes that person feel absolutely special those seven days he is with them, he remains popular and well-liked.
After finding out that no one has managed to ask Seryou out yet, Yuzuru asks Seryou to date him. Awhile Yuzuru meant it as a joke, Seryou takes the request seriously and proceeds to stick with his habit. Thus begins a seven day love story.
Reading Seven Days was a bit of a surreal experience. I owe this to the fact that the seven days the manga covers starts to stretch into an amount of ‘time’ that feels longer than just seven days. It feels like Yuzuru and Seryou were together for more than just seven days. Which I feel is quite fitting since, crazily enough, it took three years for this short, two volume series to get completely published in a quarterly magazine.
Although the series is very short, the characters still manage to be developed. Seven Days balances the forwarding of the romance with the development of the characters. So at the very end, the reader know Yuzuru and Seryou well enough that they feel like real people with both flaws and good qualities. I do have a deep want to learn more about these characters, but given the shortness of the series, the creators did a great job at developing them.
The romance is really sweet. The kind of sweet that really makes a person giddy. The kind of way that makes a person go “awww” every few pages. Even though Yuzuru and Seryou are only together for seven days, the romance doesn’t seem to develop to quickly at all. The creators fit in that awkwardness that is present at the beginning of a relationship and everything after that. The growing feelings between seems very natural. Awhile it might be too early to say “I love you,” I didn’t feel like Seven Days had a bad case of insta-love.
One of the best things about the romance is how it is portrayed. It isn’t based on appearances, nor does it base itself on cliches. It is a very pure and captivating kind of love that develops between the two. They love each other, flaws and all.
It should noted that the story doesn’t revolve around the fact that Yuzuru and Seryou are both boys. In fact, their sexuality doesn’t cause them much trouble at all. Seven Days is more focused on people and their personalities more than what gender a person is interested.
Takarai’s art is pretty in a delicate way. The characters are especially drawn nicely, and the backgrounds are pleasant to look at, also. The art also does a fantastic job at giving a very peaceful, mellow mood to read with.
I was thoroughly endeared by Seven Days. The characters, the romance, the story, the art. Everything is painted in such of an eloquent way. I can really see why this manga has obtained so many loving fans. This is certainly going to be a seven day story I won’t be forgetting. -
Pues aunque es insta, éste me ha gustado mucho, la premisa de partida realmente es un poco absurda, pero me encanta cómo se desarrolla la relación de estos 2.
Una pena la edición, en las copias que he comprado las viñetas inferiores, en algunos momentos se cortan, perdiendo líneas de diálogo... -
So far this is enjoyable. I wish I wasn't reading this on my phone as I can't tell whether I'm finding it difficult to read because it's on my phone or because it's just difficult to follow.
I will continue onto Vol 2 because I want to see how it all plays out. -
Watch the adaptation. So accurately portrayed. Love it.

[This is for both volumes]
I got around to rereading Seven Days and I’m still not moved by it. Reading it this time was like reading it for the first time–I don’t think I remembered much of anything about it (especially Shino). I do remember thinking it was slow and that’s pretty much how I feel about it now, the only difference now is that I know why a storytelling style that usually works for me wasn’t working with this. I enjoy slow paced stories when they’re meditative or nuanced. Seven Days is neither. On top of that, the methods Tachibana employs to maintain the clip of dripping molasses did nothing but irritate me.
In a nutshell, the story is that a guy, Shino Yuzuru, fresh from a breakup decides to entertain himself by asking out a guy, Seryou Touji, who is known for accepting the offer from the first girl that asks him out on Monday mornings and, like clockwork, breaking up with her a week later. Though Yuzuru was only out to satisfy his curiosity, Seryou accepts in earnest and thus begins their week. Interesting for sure and the pace of the story was just right for a (relatively) slow building love that unfolds a day at a time. However, by the end of the story, two major misunderstandings remained unaddressed.
First, even up to the point at which they begin dating for real, Yuzuru thought Seryou’s previous dating habits were just a joke–the weekly routine of a playboy. And when Seryou discovered that Yuzuru saw it that way, he was troubled because it wasn’t. Though his approach was unconventional, he was sincere; he treated all the girls the way he treated Shino–the one he had actually been in love with–with the peculiar exception that he tried to keep them at a distance physically. It isn’t explored in the story, but I think that had a lot to do with how touchy-feely Shino was and him not wanting that to cloud his judgment. You could say that it doesn’t matter much since they ended up together anyway, but the fact remains that Yuzuru misunderstood that aspect of his personality. He seriously thinks that there’s this frivolous part of him (well there is, but not in this respect). Yuzuru had no idea that Seryou was yearning for something and that it wasn’t exactly Shino.
Second, Seryou’s relationship with Shino–past or present–was never explained to Yuzuru. We knew, we saw, we understood–to a certain degree–but Yuzuru didn’t. He didn’t give the other Shino much thought when she was first mentioned and why should he? They were only going to be together for a week. But then he meets her and that point his feelings had already begun to develop. He gets angry enough at witnessing Shino and Seryou’s interaction to run off, yet at the end, still with no explanation of how or why Seryou and Shino are still connected, he just accepts that Seryou loves him more simply because he said so. Though I don’t see it as a major departure, I find it to be strange and not quite in keeping with Yuzuru’s character.
The other two issues I have are with Shino and Seryou’s relationship with her. I don’t like to see women written or portrayed that way in BL (in general, really). She was overbearing, selfish, manipulative, disloyal, and insensitive. Her presence was very awkward for me. And we never learn what type of relationship Seryou has with his brother, Natsuki. Obviously one that disconnects him enough that he’s okay with fooling around with his girlfriend and aiding her in cheating on him. But what is that? Even after she made up with, Natsuki, she was still all over Touji.
And with this, Yuzuru’s at a disadvantage because he doesn’t know what his boyfriend is/was capable of. Cheating is not the kind of thing that falls under “everyone has their secrets”; it is clearly in the full disclosure column. So where does that really leave them?
Now, I don’t particularly dislike the story. The premise is interesting–a week turning into ever after and all that–and a lot could be done with it, but here, the execution leaves much to be desired. -

Estos 2 comienzan a salir de una forma muy "chispún" jajajaja. Son supergraciosos y cuquis ^^
-
I can't help it. I'm a complete and total sucker for these types of manga (yaoi!) and when you mix in the poor English translations? Love. Instant love. It's so silly and so juvenile and seems even worse when the translations are a little off and I absolutely love it.
-
it was good but the lack of communication almost drove me crazy and the whole plot became pointless at certain time of the story...but i really like the characters and wanted to read the second part of the story.
-
I'm counting this as a single volume because otherwise they'd be really short and abruptly ended. Instead we get a cute love story.
-
AY ES QUE AMO MUCHO ESTOOOOOO
Necesito leer ya el siguiente volumen para saber qué pasa en los siguientes días pero yo necesito que estos dos se queden juntos, sí lo digo. -
This was a sweet, light-hearted manga, I easily read Vol 1 & 2 in couple hours! It's a Boy's Love/ MM romance between 2 High schoolers, with a little over the top but curious fast-paced plot.
The art style is ok, reminiscent of 2000s era, seeing as this is released in 2007-2009. I never thought I'd read a manga that old, but I'm glad I gave this a chance (a good rec from CHAT GPT lol).
I do recommend you read Vol 1 & Vol 2 back to back (as I did).
Vol 1 : Monday → Thursday
Touji Seryou is popular in HS, & goes out with anyone who asks him on Monday Morning. He's a good guy & a great, attentive bf so why doesn't he do more than 1 week?
Yuzuru Shino is Tou's archery club upperclassman, elegant at archery but otherwise a funny, normal high-schooler. If someone loves him, they'll have to love all of him, not parts is #relatable! Him asking Tou on a date was a joke, but Tou took it literally & it became real. BUT only for 1 week.
These 4 days of Vol 1 became days of growing closer, new feelings & a dash of jealousy! Ah the drama with ex named Shino! Like Goddamn Tou, WHAT. That story line was a lil complicated & fucked up on its own 😳.
When the week ends, will these 2 be together still?
Vol 2 : Friday → Sunday
This was the rollercoaster ending of Yuzuru & Touji's story!
The whole story (Vol 1 + 2) happen in a single week, so the story is fast paced (with insta love) as a lot happens in little time.
The "Joke but real but are we really real?" Boyfriends charade was funny to see haha. All the girls simping on em, tho personally I like Yuzuru's art more.
The 2 boys are idiots but sweet together, I'm glad we got kisses! (FYI, nothing more, It's wholesome). The love & happy ending is cute!
I disliked the ex Shino-girl, she's weird! But she did give us the jealousy scenes, which are always fun lol.
Comic rating (Vol 1+ Vol 2): Overall - 4.25⭐
1) The Characters: 4.5/5
2) Story feels: 😳🤨😏😌😝🤣😩🤗🥴😤😶🥰
3) Art: 4/5 (not colored)
4) Sexy/Steamy scenes: N.A.

oh my god this was so sweet? i absolutely loved every second of this... kinda want to hug someone rn heart eyes -
The best part of every new year is re-reding Seven Days, this was the first Manga I ever read and it's fascinating to me how I'm able to love it more each time, it's such a cute story and I could never get tired of it♡

چقدر کیووووتننن خدااا *-*

It's rather meh like it would put you to sleep with boredom rather than feel excited.....
-
Estoy 10.000% segura que leí otro libro con este mismo concepto, pero no puedo acordarme el nombre del libro.
3 de 5 estrellas. -
I watched the live action adaptation but I haven't gotten around to read the original manga
-
The story is too simple. Something like a whirlwind romance which is cute. And since it is really fluffy, I'm entertained. I would say the art reminds me of a shoujo manga I read in my teens, Suki tte ii na yo. And remembered that this was published in 2007 so it made sense, they drew them like that back in those days. It gave me nostalgia, that must be why I'm still holding on.

un poco too insta love x parte de uno de ellos según se entiende en el final pero we will be tunning in al 2ndo volumen
2.75-3? -
Beh... I disegni non sono malaccio, i protagonisti sono anche simpatici ma la storia non ha proprio sostanza! E c'è perfino un triangolo con .
Insomma, dico che non ha sostanza perché il tipo A si mette con la prima ragazza che glielo chiedo il lunedì e la molla il venerdì successivo. Così il tipo B glielo chiedo, un po' per scherzo e un po' per davvero, e i due si mettono effettivamente insieme. Ma la storia procede molto lentamente.
Ultimamente sono arrivati in Italia un sacco di manga che trattano del tiro con l'arco... La cosa mi ha colpito parecchio.
OK, metterò le zampe anche sul secondo e ultimo volume. Basta avere pazienza. -
Читала ее целую вечность назад, но тут решила освежить память и поднять себе настроение.
Невообразимо милая и трогательная история, заставляющая поверить в романтику и искренние чувства.
Как по мне, то это именно то произведение, с которого нужно начинать читать BL манги. Без пошлости, одни эмоции. Прекрасные персонажи, прекрасная история.
