hana's manga / #Beautiful Art(53)

Ryouichirou, given the responsibility of caring for a native foreigner Qaltaqa's daily living in Japan, is annoyed of having to deal with Qaltaqa's cluelessness. But what comes of it when Qaltaqa shows his earnest in wanting to learn the culture to help his tribe thrive, and his sincerity towards Ryouichirou? A love that blossoms between two men of two completely different environments. It was a cute story, and the end was quite funny when Ryouichirou tries to express his love interests to the naive Qaltaqa!

I honestly thought Shiraha would get his powers back...on the notion that if the one he saved did something [such as return his love], then somehow it'd all come back. So sad. But it was a super cute story with the sacrifice and the bond between them. Sousuke is so cunning though, he knew Shiriha loved him yet he refused to admit it outright himself, just leading him on, teasing and torturing him. A lovable story!

The art was really good! Maki-san who was betrayed by his lover, Ren, was at a lost when he died. 7 years later he was being haunted again upon an android that contained part of Ren's memories, and moreover his physical appearance. Fearing that if Maki erased the program that Arata would no longer love him, Maki was extremely conflicted. However, love prevails!

It was cute, funny and steamy! As shy as Aki is, he gets all giddy when it comes to things that reminds him of Shiba. And Taiteshi is hilarious, his daily investigation of Miya certainly far exceeds his job description!

I'm not sure how strong a love Hanamura had for Sai, but he quickly fell in love with Takase. That was probably one of my gripe. I really like Takase's character, in the sense that he knows what he wants and he doesn't bullshit. He doesn't mislead people, and he is who he is. True, he may sleep with everyone, but it's consensual, and he's not deceitful unlike Sai. And the way Takase talks is really hot; with authority and confidence. I agree he may seem a bit harsh the way he speaks, maybe even condescending, but it's a turn on in bed. And the sex was amazing!

I thought it was adorable. Tora, despite his background, tries to be happy and optimistic. Tama who came from an unfortunate background was made his bodyguard. And despite her "bad luck", they wind up together. Cute, funny and enjoyable!

Wow! I absolutely loved this fantasy manga. The ending was indeed unexpected. The love that Loki felt for Nakaba, I wonder what kind of love was it? It was certainly tear-jerking towards the final chapter(s) for me. Love is truly hard to describe; happiness, pain, resentment, sadness, laughter, despair. A bag of mixed emotions, like an endless roller coaster ride where you could only hope it would continuously rise, but only to know that it will inevitably have to go down. One of my favorite. I regret putting this on my to read list and not reading it from the get go. Highly recommend, and a re-read!

It's a cute story with a younger seme acting on his own accord, being jealous and whimsical, though he's a giant himself.

Totally, thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was sad, it was heart wrenching, it was realistic, but it was sweet and lovable. I guess you can say it's like some other stories, but the way it was worded, the loneliness and sadness, and the love was really well portrayed. You don't need the smexy scenes to feel the load of emotions. A definite re-read! And then again! Highly recommended.

I really liked this manga. It portrays life, and the uncertainties that comes with it. The decisions that has to be made, and the consequences that comes with it. Akira was pressured by social norms, and after many years he realized that the norm will not make you happy. Society is right only because we say it is right, until someone paves a new way. Really tear jerking for me, and I loved it. I loved how it went through the years of both their lives, and I felt that I had lived it, however short, with them. Wonderful! Will read again! Recommended!
