The most romantic one ive read drives people crazy...but its komatta toki ni wa hoshi ni kike ...I know its shounen ai and technically the romance is subtext, and it's pretty open ended but the level of intamacy and the relationship is just soo deep and beautiful and the subtext is soo full...and theres tons of romantic and sexual tension.
I've put that on my to-read list, but looking at the length of the story...that's a lot of chapters.
There are many romantic yaoi.
Somehow Hana no mizo shiru and it's sequel came to my mind. It has a gentle seme, natural story and it's sequel had been my most favorite ending of yaoi.
I know it's the best.. actually that's not one I felt anxious to finish to find out what happens, I just enjoyed it and was happy there was so much more to read...not usual for me...I often want to find out endings...but it was enjoyable for me and I loved the dynamics.
I'm not looking for a list, but I would like to see your well -reasoned answers as to what series you considered the most romantic and why. The definition of romance varies for all of us, for me, it's because the story moved me, or the character's emotions felt true to the plot.
I'm going to start with my favorite Yaoi manga - Itoshi no Nekkoke (My Darling Kitten Hair). It's about two childhood friends, Miisaburo and Kei. Unknown to Kei-chan, Mii-kun has been in love with him pretty since much the day they met (and Kei gives Mii-kun his nickname). Eventually, Kei-chan finds out how Mii-kun feels about him - the evolution of their relationship, the fact that it grows in a natural manner and slowly, and the cast of side characters (including Mii-kun's disapproving grandmother, and some very nosy housemates, among others) give this story a sweetness, comedy and real emotional ring. The times when it does get sexy are sweet, funny and well - sexy. Oh, and it has cats in it - always a plus in my book.
