I love this story! The art style is fascinating and I really like the Ballroom Dance theme!

☚୧୨☛ One of the best baseball stories out there, if not the very best! I found myself so involved in these guys' tournaments and cheering for them! While being sports-focused with so many technical details, it's so entertaining and well-developed on the emotional level as well. The colorful cast of young characters going through the spring of their youth also does its part in involving the reader. The author said: "High school students are sparkling. I want to hold on to this feeling while dr

An essential in GL category!
> The relationships and feelings mostly are platonic/ambiguous and there aren't any kiss scenes (apart from one of the characters, who had been in an actual lesbian relationship before, as we see in the story), so it feels more like GL subtext. Notwithstanding, "Maria-sama ga Miteru", especially the original novel series, is regarded as one of the most prominent works of the GL panorama. And it's a must-read story indeed!
Based on novel (adapted to anime and film)

> Note: It includes both lesbian and straight elements. And it includes heavy issues.

Great story by Ikeda Riyoko that somehow is regrettably underrated and a bit forgotten as well, when in actuality it's a masterpiece! A coming-of-age gem! It's sad but beautiful. Deep and emotional. Especially for those who like classics and melodrama, this is a must-read! I like both manga and anime. Apart from some differences between them, I think the

A masterpiece! A well-written emotional rollercoaster! I was so absorbed while reading and I was truly touched...a beautiful story! It's a timeless fave of mine. Re-reading this, it makes me feel so nostalgic because it takes me back the those good old times when BL like this were written! The stories back then had that something which can't be found in today's BL anymore! The drama in old BL was so good, as well as the characterization and the art style. Not to mention the feelings conveye

Thomas no Shinzou (1974) - It was so beautifully written, so deep and full of all kinds of emotions. It's really a masterpiece! An essential, must-read classic!
> I also want to recommend the film "Les amitiés particulières" (based on the homonymous novel by Roger Peyrefitte), which, together with some great literary works, also inspired Hagio Moto to write Thomas no Shinzou.
The live-action "Summer Vacation 1999" (1988) is loosely based on Thomas no Shinzou - Note: A female cast was used to

Hiwatari Saki's masterpiece! A must-read classic! - An interesting, thought-provoking and beautiful story. One of those unforgettable ones! It's really a brilliantly written work. I was anticipating so much for all the elements to be finally put together, and, while keeping following the characters' inner thoughts and feelings and observing their reactions and growth, I felt the story had this powerful fascinating and mysterious vibe that got me so hooked...I so wanted to see what would happen n

Just how can I resist waiting for next chapter every time? What do I do??? Can't take it!!!
> Anyway, I'm a bad girl, I admit that I wanted to read this because of Dazai and Chuuya! They are indeed my favourite characters, they are both interesting. And they are an irresistible duo for me! I love their interaction and dynamics, totally my kind of thing. So I love them together and I shamelessly ship them. Having said that, I like the other characters as well and the story is simply so good, rea
