This was a cute BL manga, although I had a hard time connecting to the main characters.

3.5 stars

When I saw the premise of this, I was immediately intrigued. The idea of falling in love with your driving instructor was SO funny to me, considering my driving instructor had been a man in his late 50s that spent every driving lesson just pointing out all of the other people on the road he'd taught.

I really enjoyed the first half of the story. There were some really funny and sweet interactions between the main characters, which I enjoyed. But the second half of the story went into some directions I had not been expecting, and I didn't enjoy it as much as the first half.

That said, it's a very cute comic. The art style is absolutely gorgeous. The characters are really cute and the different expressions were really well drawn. I would happily buy a physical copy of this for my bookshelf.

This is a wonderful BL manga about two 30 year old men who meet at a driving school as instructor and student. This is a really sweet manga that I would rec to people looking for romance manga feature working adult characters.

This was a cute one-shot between a driver instructor and shojo manga writer. I wish that there was more and the story could have been built up more.

Ok BUT THIS WAS SO GOOD

i loved ever page, the artstyle and storyline. I would become it to everybody!

This was such a cute manga and a fun read. I genuinely enjoyed the arty style and the storyline. I will say I would have preferred this to have possibly an additional volume since I feel like the story was rushed at times and characters didn't have the opportunity to be fully fleshed out.

This was such a cute, quick read. I used to be into long series manga but this was a great way to get back into it. Only thing I wish was it was a bit longer or another volume or two but this was still worth the read.

Chiba is a popular driving instructor, especially among the females. However, he has a strict rule of not dating his students. Chiba’s next student is the nervous, suit-wearing Yaotome. Yaotome is a manga artist. Despite his age, he has decided to get his driver’s license. Luck is with him when he is paired with Chiba. What secret is Yaotome keeping from Chiba? Have they met before? And will Yaotome manage to pass his driver’s test?

This is a cute one-shot. I finished it in one setting. Chiba and Yaotome (especially the latter) were so likeable! I like their opposite personalities. Chiba calm and friendly personality balances out Yaotome’s uncertain backwardness.

The mangaka could have made this a two-volume deal. Perhaps throw in a little more drama with Chiba’s ex. It felt that things got smoothed over between Chiba and Yaotome too easily.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me this eARC to review

This is a really cute manga, both with its art style and the story! While it is a great oneshot, I would have liked it maybe over two volumes, just to flesh the characters out a bit more, maybe give more time to the characters together where we could watch them develop in a little bit more detail. There is one character hobby that I would have liked to see more in depth.

Again, this is still great, I just thik it could have been a little more indepth and I will definitely read more from this Mangaka again.

Super cute read!! Loved the characters and how patient the MC was with the love interest. Highly recommend if you like friends to lovers romances.

This was so much fun. This manga was so cute and the main characters were both adorable little sweet hearts. Their romance was so cute and watching them fall for each other was fun. I am a big fan of two golden retriever characters falling for each other and this was exactly that. A solid stand alone manga

This was a cute little one-shot about a student/manga artist falling in love with his driving instructor, but there isn't much to say beyond that.

It was an enjoyable read, and the art style was nice. I liked both of the characters, and found Mr. Yaotome particularly endearing with his awkward introverted tendencies (and especially his driving nerves, because same). The last couple of scenes in the book were really beautiful, and I would have liked to see a little more beyond that personally. It was hard to believe that Chiba had really fallen for Yaotome when the two of them had barely spent any time together.

Overall, this was a fun read, but probably won't be that memorable for me.

A very soft and lighthearted romance, with beautiful artwork and very endearing characters. Perfect if you're looking for a light read in between heavier books.

A cute, sweet story that had me reading it all in one sitting. Chiba and Yaotome were both so likeable and I just wanted to know more about them.

a super cute and cozy bl about a guy who wants to learn to drive and his driving instructor. there are so many moments where it felt like my heart was being squeezed. chiba looks like he belongs in a shoujo... a good fav that i'll revisit from time to time, so i'm glad it is getting an official english pub!!

thank you to netgalley and kodansha for the eARC!

This was one of the cutest mangas I’ve read in a long time!

Driving instructor x mangaka who wants to learn to drive so that he can take his new cat to the vet in an emergency and also happens to have fallen in love with said driving instructor whilst previously working in a convenience store AND IT IS SO CUTE AND FLUFFY

Super quick pace (as with most one shots) and I can’t help but wish there was more to their story but eeeee I loved this so much!!

Big thank you to Netgalley and Kodansha for my ARC!

Why did this book give me butterflies!? Omg I loved it so much!! A perfectly executed romance manga!

This was a quick and cute read, though the art had a slightly unfinished feel to it. At times things felt a little rushed or hastily thrown in, like Chiba's backstory (though it's obvious early on that he has one) and the trip to Hokkaido, but overall it was a well written story. Chiba is very respectful of Yaotome and in turn Yaotome is genuinely apologetic to Chiba. I believe there will be a second volume so that makes the rushed ending easier to put up with.

My Instructor Won't Yield is an entertaining, short and beautiful exploration into the relationship of Chiba and Yaotome. A BL story full of light-hearted and enjoyable elements.
Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for this advanced reader's copy.

My Instructor Won't Yield is a cute BL story that wraps up in one volume. Story follows Chiba - the driver instructor and Yaotome - the one getting the driver's license. As they get paired up in for driving lessons they discover different sides of one another and get to know each other. Eventually which leads to romance blooming. It is a simple setting but it works. The art is pretty and pleasant to the eye, characters are handsome and author definitely put some effort into drawing and studying cars. This title might not be avoiding certain shoujo/rom-com tropes, but if you are looking for an easy light BL romance read this one is definitely a way to go. Giving it 4*. The only reason why it is not a 5* it is because it is not exactly groundbreaking. But not all reads need to be and it is still a good enjoyable read!
Thank you to the Kodansha and Netgalley for digital arc in exchange for my honest review.
