I've been literally counting days for this update, I actually thought of binge reading it, but I was in the car, and I just couldn't resist to read till I got home :'D Anybody else who has Koimonogatari as their favorite manga??
I would definitely nominate this as one of the best, especially to someone who doesn't usually savor this genre. The best thing about this story is that it is a decent, fresh, realistic portrayal of homosexuality, making it effortless for anyone who is trying to understand these people. Because, though there are so many yaoi, bl mangas, most of them are created to fulfill our fantasies, and end of the day real life homosexuality issues are far far more dark, from what we read. That's where stories like this stand out, because this is life, close to the world we live in, where it doesn't end after we finish reading the chapters online or a manga book, these issues expressed and faced by Yamato is so close to what exists beyond just a genre of love-making between men created for females( of course I love it tho). On so many levels we feel that pain, excitement, and the slow blooming of love along with gaining courage and acceptance among the characters. There is no big tragedy, or too many complications( doesn't have to be either to make a greatstory ) but the pain does hit right on spot. The more simplicity, more easier to connect. It's pacing is sound, natural, slowly slowly, allowing us to get emotionally attached to the characters, understanding how the feel, like we are living with them. That's why Yuiji and Yamato is worth the wait!! ( I feel I'll be an old lady by the time it happens, since the updates are too slow, and there are three volumes but please let these cuties be :'P) I still feel this manga, and the author deserve much more appreciation for making such an exquisite story. This is a kind of manga in this genre which if made into a movie would appeal to people outside, it's very human and real. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
