blackjacaranda's manga / #reencounter(4)

Chapter 2 (31 October 2016) Waaaa all seme by this author are so devoted and gentle ... well, not really, but still. I like how the seme reencounters the uke to Tokyo to meet him again. And the kiss scenes are just too cute and hot. I like it. This author deserves a lot more attention. The plot isn't forced at all. It flows smoothly like a river. 27 years old and still virgin, when you reach 30 and still establishing that title, you'll be a wizard LOL. I like how the seme is called trauma-source-kun it's so damn hilarious. Love this so much. I hope the next chapter (if it is not a one shot) will have an upper rate, not only a shounen ai but a yaoi with deliciously hot sex scene. EDIT: Yes, finally my dream comes true. The rating is up to yaoi, not shounen ai anymore. Yes, even though there's no "real" sex scene, but it's still satisfying. This chapter begins and perhaps is filled with the seme's point of view, of how desperate he was when the uke ran away, and how he wanted to be with him. And towards the end, I love it when the uke hugged him back while kissing, and ended up doing something more. And yes, that girl crept me out. I'd already thought she was no ordinary and it's true. She is a transvestite. Overall, this chapter is nice. I love it. The seme is so gentle. 3.5 4 4 4

Chapter 4.5 (12 February 2013) Summary: Nishina is doing well at his prestigious company but after divorcing from a loveless marriage his success at work seems empty. A chance meeting at a cafe brings him into contact with the owner, Miyama, an old high-school classmate. It seems that Miyama has forgotten him until he asks Nishina why he's no longer wearing a wedding ring and what Nishina said to him 10 years ago in high school. This one is good. I underestimated this at the beginning since it seemed boring. But, after I forced myself to read through the end, I just realised that it had more meaning that it showed to me. Like, really good. At first I didn't know who the seme was and who the uke was, but it was obvious in some chapter. The seme, Miyama, was bothered by the failure of his first love in high school with Nishina. After ten years of graduation, they met again. Nishina who was married and then divorced because he seemed to not being able to forget his past, and Miyama who just couldn't let anyone love him. Their re-encounter triggered the old feelings from the past, and complicated things even more. But I just love how they got back together. Even though, it seemed like, Miyama still couldn't trust a hundred percent of Nishina's feeling for him. Great, I love the art. As expected from the mangaka of Yuuutsu na Asa. 8.5 9 8.5 8.5

Chapter 1 (13 November 2014) Summary: The pastry shop Natsuki works at as a patisserie has been garnering a lot of interest ever since it was featured in a magazine article. The shop has been receiving tons of new customers – which was to be expected, except when one particular visitor comes in. Nice, but not enough. It was too short and not detailed. The conflict was almost not there and the reconciliation seemed so hang up. I wish it were longer though. The younger brother was so damn cute and the older brother ... just being older brother. But still, it was supposed to be a good one. But I'm not one for this kind of story. 3.5 3.5 3 3

Chapter 3 Hamura Yuzuki is obsessed with pole vaulting despite his excellence in running 100 meters. He is reunited with Akishima Jin, his friend from high school. Seems like something happened between them in the past but Jin is acting as if nothing happened. Beautiful art with interesting setting - pole vaulting. Looking forward for more ^^ 5 | 4 | 4 | 5
