A sweet and cliche manga.

The theme was nice and the romance was cute.

Two popular guys, one a driving instructor and the other a student driver, makes their way into each other's orbits and learn that there is surely more than meets the eyes about the other. Will they able to accept each other and their secrets?

I really enjoyed the art style of this manga and found it made both of the characters so much cuter! Their romance was quick but not without its small miscommunications, which made the final ending feel very rewarding. I love that both of them were not who they thought each other were based on first appearances, but once they saw a little deeper into each other, it only made them fall even more. Though I didn't feel particularly attached to either of them, I thought this was still a lovely and sweet one shot!

This was an adorable one-shot! As someone who just recently got their license, the nerves and anxiety felt so real. I did have a cutie teaching me how to drive (my partner) but they were not as cheerful as an instructor haha.

For their budding relationship , I enjoyed them growing closer outside of the classes. It made their transition to a relationship feel less weird due to a potential power balance. Also the swiftness in which the ex was dealt with was so satisfactory. He immediately got shit down and even laughed at, which had to feel cathartic.

Overall, this was a fun idea that felt well executed. This is my first work by the mangaka but I will be on the lookout for more. Thanks to Kodansha for the DRC!

This one-shot BL manga had me blushing! It's about two men, student driver and instructor, that become very close. The student driver is a manga illustrator that has taken inspiration from his real life encounters with his driving instructor.

I LOVED this story! It was so sappy (in a good way!). I really liked the pacing and storytelling. Chiba and Yaotome were such sweet characters. Honestly, they were so charming! Each of them had this perfect mix of being endearing and real, which made their moments together even more special. They just felt so genuine and easy to root for. This is my first time reading something by Deme Kingyobachi. I will definitely be checking out more of her work!

My Instructor Won't Yeild is about a 30yr old man who wants to learn to drive so he can take his newly adopted cat to the vet faster if he ever got sick, which is *the* absolute cutest reason to want to learn to drive!

This book is sweet, funny, cute and heartbreaking all at once and I started smiling from the moment Chiba got in the car with Yaotome and I could not put it down until I finished it (I'm pretty sure I blinked and read half the book!) I loved the art style too.

A perfectly wholesome, beautifully rendered rom-com/slice of life! Both leads are relatable in their own struggles, their romance soft and slow developing (if you don’t count the spoiler!). I like that they are actively talking to each other like true adults and working to resolve their miscommunication.

Don’t expect any crazy spark or bedroom tension, but if you’re looking for a healing drive (pun intended :p), this is it!
