## Description

A man’s birthday bucket list could lead him to a brand-new love in this sweet Boys’ Love story. From the creator of Wanna Be My Dress-Up Lover? and Natsume Wants to be Trained —both also available from Seven Seas. And don't miss the live action adaptation! Suzume Tōjō is just three months away from turning forty and realizes there’s so much he hasn’t done with his life! So, he makes a plan: create a private list of things he’s always wanted to do and check them off before turning the big four-oh. It’s a rather simple list, filled with goals that should be easy to accomplish, like a takoyaki party, enjoying a parfait out in a cafe, and spending his birthday with a lover. Except, that last one comes with a major problem—Tōjō hasn’t had a lover in ten years! But when Keishi Tanaka, Tōjō’s handsome junior at the company, discovers the secret list, he’s determined to help Tōjō check off every single item—starting with the “lover” part! A fun, sexy BL romp between an assertive junior colleague and a senior past his prime!

Review: 10/10 - I’ve read quite a bit of BL, and this one quickly became one of my favorites. The slow-burn romance is genuinely perfect—every scene adds to the tension and makes the build-up feel earned. I also really appreciated how accurately the seme/uke dynamic is portrayed. While it is quite spicy, it’s not rushed—it still feels purposeful. The author does an excellent job representing the characters’ age differences in a way that feels respectful and believable. The hesitation both of them face, shaped by their circumstances, felt incredibly real—like the emotions were grounded. Overall, this manga left me wanting more, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who loves thoughtful, realistic, yet still fantastical, and emotionally driven BL.
Review: So much fun, I love lists, sweet characters - The MC has been single for a while, meaning he has spent the last three birthdays on his own. He’s an introvert who doesn’t have any friends except for his plushies.(this guy‘s condo is somewhere I want to stay. You’ll see what I mean if you get this book..) So the MC makes a list of the things he wants to accomplish in three months before he turns 40. I love this list. And then he meets Keishi sp? Who is confident, younger, and the way he gets involved in the list, made me scream with hilarity. I am probably going to read this again anytime I need a sexy comfort read. I’m so glad I started reading BL. I thought I hated romance before I discovered this genre.
