Can you handle this shocking level of cuteness?! I couldn’t stop swooning—『Secret ×××』 by Hinohara Meguru

We’re introducing Shinshokan Dear+ Comics 『Secret XXX (Peke Peke Peke)』!

Below is an excerpt from the back cover. This post includes impressions and reviews that touch on the story! If you just want a quick idea of what it’s about, I’d be happy if you read only the red text and highlighted parts.

　

The one I fell for is a man who’s gentle like a bunny—and just as naughty as one, too!?

Shohei, who helps out at a specialty rabbit shop, is secretly in love with the shop owner, Mito. Mito is soft, gentle, and bunny-like—and Shohei wants nothing more than to scoop him up and hug him together with the rabbits! …But there’s actually a reason why Shohei can’t hug the rabbits—and it turns out to be…?

From Shinshokan, Dear Plus Comics 『Secret ×××』

With every page a bunny appears, I’m completely overwhelmed by how cute it is.

Of course, Shohei being completely smitten with the soft, fleetingly gentle Mito-san is adorable, but the way the bunnies go sniff sniff had me gasping at the page—going “ugh”—more than once…! It’s just too cute…!! Shohei also grows up in a family that keeps many different animal friends, and the way each of them is drawn—with their own little quirks—was absolutely charming (^^).

The story moves forward with such lively momentum that it feels incredibly easy to read— and just when you think that, you’re hit by a sudden storm of whiplash-inducing gaps…

So this really is what it feels like to be driven completely wild by moe…

No matter how many times I read the steamy scenes, they always make me grin without realizing it—I just can’t stop smiling like an idiot… even though I’m not reading it in public or anything (I mean, if I’m alone, there’s no reason to hold back). Still, it’s so good that my sense of self-control somehow kicks in anyway—and honestly, that just proves how good it is (^^).

This is a must-read for anyone who loves people who are sweet—yet a little mean in the best way!

You want to keep it a secret from the one you love, and yet you can’t help but feel anxious about what might happen if they ever find out—that inner conflict is simply irresistible! I truly hope you’ll stay with them and see where their story leads!!

And one more thing! The story of the brothers who appear in this work has also been released as a spin-off (and it’s really interesting, too). I’m planning to introduce it on the blog in the future, so I’d be very happy if you could look forward to that as well (^^).
