The first story occurs in an old day scenario where captives and the power of the church reigns in that time. Where two men met in their different lifestyle. Though i need some elaboration to feel if their is real love Rate 3
The second story is short but have an impact, centralizing lust blended with weak standing turning to find its new rose
Quite being selfish, but letting go and accepting new destination is what life really does rate 3.5
Adventure and survivng stories i loved them- 1st one - knight x pilgrime + historical they didn't end up the way it should it's like an open ending since knight was coming to pilgrim at the end but as always Nishida sensei does no love story type. 2nd - older cheif X younger gay coworker- go on trip for work end up on island and wanted someone to save them they were just surviving since their boat sinked , end up having sex get recused after sex misunderstanding cleared up and they end up together.
Excellent manga! It is simple, but it makes you feel strong emotions. Both stories are awesome. I only wish they were longer and that they didn't have an ending so open, but that is part of their charm. What I love from the first one is that the Bishop started shipping the MC and supported them and the Horse acted like the matchmaker. Unespected, but not unwelcomed.
Two medium-length stories. Both are generally pleasant, with likeable characters, and satisfying arcs. The art, however, is definitely very flat and, I thought, somewhat sub-par. Normally I am not much of a stickler for art, but I found myself (particularly in the first story) feeling that an artist with a better feel for texture and detail would have improved the story immensely.
The first takes place in medieval Europe and follows the story of a pilgrim on his way to Santiago and a knight who finds himself deprived of his horse and armor and joins him on his quest. It's a nicely paced and fairly simple story, and I found it fairly moving. The pilgrim character becomes particularly interesting as you learn more about his background and what, precisely, he is searching for on his quest. 3/5 Stars (were the art more compelling, it would likely be 4 stars).
The second story takes place in the present day. A gay salaryman on a business trip to an exotic (but unspecified) location finds himself stranded on a desert island with his staid but reliable (and heterosexual) superior. It has some good moments of humor and good buildup, but it isn't precisely a standout story. 2/5 stars.
