favourite BL reads.

5/5 art, 5/5 writing.

A beautifully drawn manga with an equally beautifully written story; it's a story that explores loneliness and longing, that touches on first love, separation, and loneliness. Beautifully drawn panels to paint the love between two very lonely people in desperate need of each other. Can feel very raw and very intimate; a big time favourite of mine.

Few reasons, with Shizuma and Minato being the biggest ones. Obviously they are gorgeous, and we love that; but their relationship and dynamics, how they love and how they try fall and rise, how the author deals with Shizuma's bisexuality--all of it really makes this manga great. Incredible art with equally interesting story. Despite following a very cliche and typical BL plotline, it manages to stands out and leaves a very lingering impression.

Heartbreak, grief, loss, and loneliness. And how to heal.

Left quite a big impact on me for what it tells. Flawed characters that are easy to get attached to, to empathize on. Made me cry on every read.

5/5 Art.
The art is absolutely stunning. Love the color and the creator(s)' art style. Absolutely love the palette they had chosen; it suits with the overall atmosphere of this series really well.

4.5/5 Writing.
The story itself is great! Love the characters, the main couple's relationship, the conflicts and their resolution. Some of the tropes are cliche for sure, but in the end, the overall plot is just exceptional.

5/5 writing.

Let me list it out:
1) The plot. It is light, but it is never boring to me. It's not only about romance, but also about family, friendship, and self-expression.
2) The characters; both the main and side characters. They all bring a very unique flavor to this series.
3) The main couple's relationship & dynamics. From their first meeting to where they are right now; I love everything about it.

A classic.

Making a one-volume manga to be this remarkable and unforgettable is not an easy feat, but one that the author has successfully achieved. The concept of this manga may be generic and cliche, but the art and the writing is just so good it left a great impact on me even until now.

The art is just stunning. The color palette, the characters, the panels... Legendary.

5/5 writing.
The dialogue is great and "lively" -- it doesn't feel forced, it feels very natural, and it can be really hilarious at times. The story had made me cried really hard on multiple occasions. The drama, the relationship development... the unrequited love...... chef's kiss.

4/5 art.
The art is really adorable and wonderful, of course, it just isn't my personal favourite style of art. The artist draws chibi of the characters sometime and they are the cutest things in the world.

3.5/5 writing.
I was hooked from the very first chapter; it was such a sweet read accompanied with a good amount of hurt here and there. The relationship of the main couple in particular is very sweet. Can feel a little tedious as times goes, though.

The art of this series is otherworldly. The background, the characters, their outfit, their surrounding? Honestly, my love for this series is mainly because of the art style.

4/5 writing.
It has a really great and interesting concept and plot. I do admit there are certain tropes and plot points that I don't personally like... and personally, the main characters have yet grow on me too... but other than that, a very interesting read.
