OMG I CANT TAKE IT AM CRYING THIS IS SO GOOD! The chapters are done as little cute snippets and I am just melting away at their show of love! I am gonna re-read when I get the grumps, this is such a mood lifter for sure.
I really loved this story, there was a quiet poignancy and also a cheery flipside and I enjoyed all the emotional nuances of every chapter flow. I love the MCs - Hayato with his upbeat bravado hiding his need for love and Hiromichi, so stoic and yet so amazingly caring. Definitely a gem to keep.
I love the emotional sensitivity Sensei has in her works. I love the expressions drawn and the moments of quiet thoughts this manga had. And I absolutely love how she does the romance and sexual build up. I have read so many yaois but Sensei's sensual scenes always make me FY^%R^&T. Every frame emotes. If I could complain, I just wish Takano communicated more on feelings instead of just demanding food, altho I do understand thats his way of getting his feelings to reach Kotarou.
Any work by Kou sensei is always worth reading. Her stories always touches the heart. Even here altho Reply is short, the MCs have wonderful character traits, and are so manly and emotionally grounded. I love how she draws their expressions and nuances, and how much is being said by not saying anything but just their looks and stances. Definitely a story I would read again and again.
What a wonderfully refreshing story about growing up together and falling in love. The plot could have been so generic but Sensei ensured that never happened, but instead ensnared our hearts with her wonderful telling of adoring love, loyalty, support and friendship, and finished her tale by leaving the door open wide to clear skies full of hope. Lovelovelove!
Slow-burn first BL love for Arikawa and Misaki. Beautifully drawn, great characterization followed by an even better sequel (Hana no Migoro ni) that literally made me cry at the beautiful ending.
So beautifully told, a warm slice of life BL. I loved how their relationship is portrayed, and how deep their love and adoration is for each other.
Aaargh, they are so, so cute together!! This is lovely, pure clean BL, no miscommunication, 100 percent consent, and a lovely show of growing love, empathy and maturity together. LOVE!
The story is well paced no major angst and the romance unfolded just nicely. I love their personalities - how the seme is stoic but so caring, and how the uke is just such a sweetie. The art is great - both MLs look hot and the smexy times are even hotter without having to resort to true smut.Now to make my life worth it I want a story for Coach and Shima - they both look so good!!
