blackjacaranda's manga / #Slice of life(117)

A manga with really good art. Almost like Ten Count's. The uke a bit looks like Shirotani, good looking with gentle face. Overall, this manga is nice, but lack of conflict. The main conflict is a bit flat and nonsense, it should've been added more details of their feelings, not only the conditions. However, I like the flashback of Enishi's arrival. His father is so similar to him so is Kuruto's father. It should've been much better if the mangaka reveals a bit more about those two's relationship instead of only glimpses of hints. The sex scene is not satisfying! There's only one sex scene and even I can count the kiss scene--only two, what the hell! The art, though, really good. 9.5 8.5 8.5 8.5

I'm so grateful I bought the first volume. If not, I would never know how great this manga is. I love the art, simple yet beautiful, especially the cover. All of the characters are so good looking especially Hase. He's got soft face yet could turn into a badass one if he's mad. And there's this cute and tough MC Inaba. I love Inaba and Hase's relationship. They're childhood friends, yet they act like... ehem, boyfriends. No kidding. Two men "nyabuk" while riding a motobike. And then sleeping together with the super cute Kuri. Like a fucking happy family. Chapter 14 and 15 are heavenly. Just when I thought "Just jump on him," and then next page, Inaba really jumps on Hase while crying! And when they sleep side by side forming a kanji river, I thought of a happy family, and then Hase really says they are like a family, with Hase as a father, and Inaba as a fucking mother. What the hell. This manga will be the death of me. I'm craving for more. More of Inaba and Hase because I love this pairing so damn much. The adventure in the Monster Apartment is also very interesting, it makes me think of supernatural things in a completely different way. I like Ryuu-san, too. He's so damn beautiful and charismatic. I love it a lot. Can't wait for more. 9 9.5 10 10

A manga by Hinoki Kino, the artist who drew No. 6. The art is so similar to that manga I thought I saw Shion at first page. But overall, this manga is interesting, even though a bit slow-paced and boring. The concept is great, I was fooled thinking that it had something to do with deity/good of fireworks. It's actually about fireworks technician. The lead characters are cute and good looking, even though the relationship development between them has yet to be seen. Still, it's pretty interesting. Hope to see more. 9 8.5 8.5 8.5
