tsukineko's manga / #murderer(2)

Boys Next Door

Complete | Yuki | 1997 released

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.

Love & Catastrophes

Ongoing | Kataru Cisco | 1999 released

I've read the first 5 chapters. The art is ugly, but the stories are really good - original, interesting and poignant! Characterisation is another strong point. In fact, I became attached to several of the characters and would love to read more about them. I especially love the ukes in here - stereotypically blond and babyfaced, but incredibly strong, mature, and the last one is even intelligent! A rare breed indeed! There's good character development, too, as characters often learn important life lessons, helped along by their partners. I'm thoroughly enjoying this manga, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest. I would love for this mangaka to write more! Ideally, she'd write a longer story, and team up with someone else to do the art.
