Hinadori wa Shiokaze ni Madoromu
Though the sexy scenes were minimal, the story and narration make up for the lack of those. Really love the narration, it clearly conveyed the message of the story. It was also focused, 8 long chapters were not wasted with unnecessary side plot. Not to mention that the artwork was marvelous. And what's even better was that this manga was completed in one upload. Thank you to the EXR scanlations team for bringing this beautiful manga, and also all the manga past and present. Hope you'll still bring us more in the future. Happy anniversary

I can't express how beautiful this manga is. As expected of Minaduki-sensei, she emphasized more on the story side which, without complain, is the best part of reading any yaoi. Reading all her works here from the earliest to the most recent, I can see that the narration of sensei's storiy is getting better, with smoother transitions, with just enough angst-filled drama but still able to get the message across. This one too is awfully sweet but still feel realistic; the romance is not that off putting, not too out of touch with reality that I could sense a stronger feeling, more emphatizing to the characters story. Not to mention that the characters artwork just as good as ever, not too effeminate ikemen but not too bulky either.

Really love how we got to see the progress of their feelings, no rushed changes, it felt regreshingly realistic because, let's be honest, no person who was not a gay before would just become passionately love someone if tge same gender. Confusions would be there and that must be overcome for them to develop that feeling to a more serious relationship. A hot sex sxenes are welcome, but if some straight guy just like jump at each other like that, their characters just seem shallow. I like the slowness of this story despite the minimal sex scenes.
