pinkstarred's manga / #Standout Art(5)

A boy meets boy love, first friends then lovers this story takes it time and builds their relationship. A solid take on a classic theme, the original art gives the characters a lot of personality and kept me interested. The endearing sweet characters drew me in, I love Honda-kun's flirty aggressive attitude. He's kind and warm not intimidating and cold like so many semes in BL. He actually seems like someone that would be fun to be around. Kaidou on the hand has a tough look that started some absurd rumors but is just a shy sweet kitty in actuality. (Speaking of kitty, that cat scene was freaking adorable.) ＾ω＾ The two characters actually have chemistry and play off one another, Kaidou's purehearted dreams to be a hero actor bring out Honda's protective instincts while his outgoing nature push Kaidou to open up and make friends. For some reason, at least in my experience this is rare for BL, a couple that actually works well together in a heathy way. All too often characters are forced together by sex or a selfish obsession without any real basis for a relationship and its called love. Okosama is a well written story and features relationships done right. Coupled with its graphic sketchy art style, and lovable characters I can't wait for what is in store for this sweet couple.

Squee! Just in the first few pages my heart was going doki doki with the Absolute Adorableness of these cuties. The unique cute art had me Awwww-ing constantly and even though this book was filled with smexy times it felt so innocent. The only thing missing was plot... there just wasn't enough story. I loved that every couple was connected and lived in the same world.

Very quiet and introspective. You see the struggle to change the nature of their relationship. Not a lot happens. The story isn't linear but a collection of interactions. Beautiful sketchy art style and the expressions are great. There's this sultry provocative aura that beckons you. The characterization is a bit lacking, I want to love these guys. Very close, with great potential.

Very adorable story of having someone to come home too. The art is bomb! I love it.

This was just so amazing. What a great story that was sad,happy and even scary. It touched on so many heavy topics in an approachable way. The art was amazing and just so so so cute! Oh and the chibi's are too charming for words.
