Yes. This is a Nook Edition not a Nook Color format. That aside, the manga itself is a great story of loss and first love and should not be overlooked just because of the format.

Wonderful Manga About First Love & Steadfast Friendships

Saitozaki never imagines that he would start his freshman year in high school almost perishing from sun-stroke and being inexplicably enamored of the Itoshima who rescued him. Itoshima is a sophomore at the same school who has to give up his love of playing baseball due to irreversible knees injury. As both boys start to spend more time together despite their differing, opposite backgrounds, they need to figure out if their attractions are merely platonic or something deeper.

It will definitely a shame for anyone to pass on reading this manga due to its modest cover art or unpretentious drawing style. It is one of the sweetest, most memorable shounen-ai stories about first love and steadfast friendships I’ve ever read. I love how the relationship between the main two characters is starts with a genuine friendship that doesn’t feel rushed. It is charming to see Saitozaki being a shy stalker as he wrestle with the possibility that he might have fallen for the cool baseball player. Ito’s situation touches my heart as he struggles with the disappointment of not being in the baseball team anymore. The story surmise correctly that such an event would affect the dynamics of Ito’s relationship to his best friend, Kurano (the captain of the baseball team), his ex-teammates and his own mother who has to give up her role as baseball Mom. I can’t help but root for kind hearted Ito to pull out of his quiet despair with lots of help from Saitozaki and his best friends.

There are many mirthful moments as both boys had to deal with the fact that those close to them can see how much they like each other. I enjoyed the ending as well. Sumako Kari sensei did a good job of giving all her characters the opportunities of the bright, happier futures. Even this title is an innocuous boys love story, you will be surprised to find out who take the roles of the catcher and the pitcher in the end. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a delightful story about steadfast friendships and innocent first love.

Disclosure: I would like to thank Digital Manga Publishing and Koi-Koi for providing me a complimentary rental of "I’m the Big Brother" for this review.

This is a very cute and innocent read. Not much sex but more about high school boys and overcoming hardships. The art is cute too and matches the story really well.
