I've listened to the drama cd already (and loved it) but to know that one of my favourite mangaka is doing the manga adaptation... *squeals*. I haven't fangirled since I last finished Konohara Narise's novels ヾ(☆▽☆)
I'm really looking forward to the next chapter and the feels trip that I know this manga will take me. Yesssh! Angst ftw!
you finished Konohara Narise's novels? can you please give me a preview? i have the thrilogy and the cd dramas here, but i heard it's tragedy so i am really scared to read it so help this poo soul here
Sorry, but do you want a preview of this 500nen no Itonami manga by Yamanaka hiko or one of Konohara Narise's novel? I'm not sure which series trilogy you're referring to.
oh no i am talking about the cold series by konohara narise
Ah, I see! The cold series is a tragedy but Konohara-sensei made it to a somehow not-so-tragic ending. I'm not sure how to describe it but I can assure you that every one of her works is a good angst/feels trip. I like her Hako no Naka and Utsukushii Koto series better than the Cold series though.
P.s. The drama CD is good at delivering direct heart-ache but if you want details, the novel is always better of course :)
"a somewhat happy-ending" ....scaryyyy but i'll give it a try, i just hope at least i won't suffer that much, thank you for recommending other pieces ^^
no worries! Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did :D
is hikaru b going to die?

Nope. If you want more info, someone translated the drama cd version of this manga before so you can check it. :)
Oh how I love this manga for giving me food for thoughts- for forcing me to question everything about my life and to question the concept of being "normal". I love Punpun and yet I hate him at the same time. He didn't exactly have the best childhood and he had his own fair share of woman troubles. He made a lot of mistakes in life, his thought-processes were disturbing and depressing most of the time, but at the end of the day, he did try to curb those urges in. It didn't end well when he snapped but I'm glad that he had his own version of a happy ending.
Truly, I love him and yet I hate him for being so human (regardless of the fact that he was almost never depicted as one). ╥﹏╥
I love this manga. So gritty and raw in its portrayal of an abusive relationship. It made it special in the way that the abuser didn't cling to the MC in a desperate attempt to keep him but instead, he acknowledged that he had been wrong and they can't go back to the way they were before. Kan-chan's 'Help me' was just such a painful cry that tore my heart. (Altho I still feel relieved for Yumi that he can now escape abuse). I'm glad that it's a happy ending and I do hope for more chapters from this manga but if not, I'm looking forward to this Manga-ka's next work. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Thank you for voicing my thoughts in such a eloquent way <3
Exactly my thoughts... I'm really glad everything worked out for our MC's and i am too really looking forward to more of this mangaka's works.
I know it's fiction. There's obviously fantasy elements in it. But that 1st story is uncomfortably a little close to home. There's just no changing a person who doesn't want to change and I know that well enough. I'm glad that Hideyoshico portrayed it quite realistically. Although it ended in a bittersweet way, I didn't have any complaints.. just that I wish my own story ended in that bittersweet way. (But I'll never know, will I? I'm not a binbougami or shinigami) #－.－)
I'm glad it ended that way because later Binbougami was able to be with Jugemu
I agree~~ (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
This age gap is large. REALLY large... I started first chapter but then I cringed and dropped it. It's been several months since then and somehow, I can now gladly admit,... I'm hooked. Even though it's directed for Shoujo audience, I feel like the issues they're dealing with is more mature and so more suited for Josei audience. Nevertheless, I think that for people who want to start reading it, you should approach it with an open mind and then decide. Because at the end of it all, this is a love story after all (hence the title). ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Oh, and... this premise kind of reminded me of Hana no Namae XD seriously... (Idk y I didn't cringe with this one though)
I love this. I keep coming back to re-read it. There's just too much drama in BL manga where the characters are rejected and persecuted, and that just gave me despair about gay relationships. But then THIS. This gave me so much hope and warmth and comfort in knowing that family can be supportive and accepting. (▰˘◡˘▰)
I dropped the series coz after Taiga's story, I had no interest in the other brothers (Mayumi's personality was a tad too annoying for my liking). But then Aki's story perked my interest and I regretted that I didn't read this sooner. I cried while reading all 10 chp in one go. Especially when Shuu said to Aki that it's Aki's soul that's wounded T^T
Mayumi is annoying at first BUT! after few chapters he gets better ~
Oh WHAT!??? That RAW list is impressive and it HURTS knowing that I can't continue reading this manga coz of my meagre Japanese skills...
Contrary to feeling motivated (to learn more Kanji), I kinda feel defeated.
I really love her manga covers. Yozora no sumikko was pretty too but I especially liked this one, with the colours making a 'stained glass' feel. Yaoi/shounen ai covers r really pretty n how I wish I could just frame them n hang them up without the fear of being judged.
...this post is a bit out of topic lol but just saying, I like Hayakawa-sensei's covers.
