tsukineko's manga / #dark(113)

NOT BL but should be. Has some touchy-feely flirty moments between the male leads.

I read this quite some time ago, and I still have that urethral play scene burnt into my brain!

I just came across this again by chance, and realised that I didn't even rate it after reading it. From what I can remember of it, I think it was really good. I'll have to reread it, but if my memories of it are correct, then it's worth either 4 or 4.5 stars. I really must reread it then.

This is a prequel to 'Don't Stay Gold', and appears also in the main manga 'Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai'. It's from when Yashiro and Kageyama were back in high school.

Both stories were good, especially the first one. For once in yaoi, the mc chose to do the right thing, no matter how difficult, (although he did fuck up a little before realising his error), but he still got his happy end, (well as happy as possible, given the circumstances). Also, I liked the way the dead person is not just conveniently forgotten about, but the character still manages to move on, (in a realistic manner). Both stories are realistic and mature. Errors are made and moved on from in a very human manner.
