otakulys's manga / #shounen ai(68)

Switched from four stars to five by the end. This was super sweet. I want to read more about these boys. And the other two! And the three friends in general. I just love that mixed gender friendship stuff. I'm sad this is over. It had several elements that are sadly a bit rare in BL manga.

Been ages since I read this, but I still own it. I loved it at the time, probably still would.

I don't know if there's more to the main story or if the remaining chapters are going to be oneshots or something, but I really like this as is. I actually kind of wish there was more with the boyfriend and what not. I liked that surprise, and how he was tied to this dangerous man, but then it never went anywhere. At least it was sweet that it brought out the characters' feelings for one another even more.

Very sweet, sad, and touching story about unrequited love. The hint of hope at the end stopped it from being too painful. It's very realistic in the sense that the character would be ostracized for his orientation, and he'd be afraid of acting on his feelings. It's nice to see actual gay characters and not just "surprise gay" characters in shounen ai.

This is sweet so far, if not a little confusing. I'm intrigued, and I want to see more of these pretty boys, regardless. The drug usage is interesting, but I wonder if it'll be a part of the story from here on out. It's sort of strange as an afterthought, but whatever. I'm eager to see where it goes, might change the rating to five if things get clearer.

I'm finally getting around to re-reading/fully reading all of Miyamoto Kano's work, but I'm pretty confused by some of the order here. This particular manga was oddly ordered on the site. I'm hoping I didn't miss anything. Maybe I should just find the DL to be sure. Anyway, this is her early work, so it didn't have some of the same emotional impact that I can usually find in her work. Still, it's a nice start, and I love how she has stories that span over multiple characters, etc. Not Love up next...

I really like this so far, even though it's like, just get on with it already! I get that it's one of those stories where the entire plot is about the chase, but it's so annoying when they won't just communicate with each other. Either way, good art, interesting story, hot guys. I'm sold.

Very sweet, pretty art (though not perfect, which is fine!), but the endless misunderstandings always kinda rub me the wrong way. I like where it went, though, and I love that the one character was actually gay from the start, like it wasn't a huge surprise for him, and it wasn't one of those "it's okay if it's you" BS moments. I wish more yaoi would experiment with that, what it's like to be young and realize you don't like girls the way that the other boys do. Anyway, I love this story so far, so I hope whatever follows is sweet, too.

I liked it up to the rushed ending. I felt like it could have done well with a bittersweet ending, but it was ultimately like "oh hey, I guess everything is fine now!"
