pinkstarred's manga / #A gem(5)

The way this story is told is amazing. It had me holding my breath, made my stomach fall and my eyes water. A coming of age story about boys coming to terms with their sexuality and the reality of accepting what that means in their world. Beautifully depicting the horror of being attacked one minute and the humor of adolescence the next. The stark images pack a punch and evoke deep emotion keeping me enthralled in this realistic tale of growing up.

Evocative right from the first page, the beautiful drawings pull you into this tale of unrequited love. The bold style is sexy, masculine and edgy. The story grips you and draws you into a long friendship at the edge of something new. I want more of this quiet story of best friends. Aww, that ending was so lovely. Im so glad their love bloomed. ^ ^

Unexpectedly deep, it delves into the struggles of acceptance and self worth. It was funny,dark, sad, and happy. And sexy at times too, coupled with great art and an enthralling plot, this is a gem.

Wow, I can't believe this is based on real life, that's so amazing! (⌒▽⌒) Such a sweet love story, about a slow paced pair falling in love as they navigate their new relationship. It's very surreal to think of this as reality, because so much of BL is rediculous fantasy and fetish it's just sorta bizarre thinking that this is not purely made up but someone's actual story. (And thank God for that, because a lot messed up shit happens in yaoi. No one should have to endure that) It makes me want to cherish it I guess. The story has the emotion connection Ohayou lacked for me. I look forward to what come next.

Loved it! So sweet and the art was delightful. Farm life with two cuties. I just wish there was more. I also wanted to know Kokoro more too. I loved how honestly he expressed himself, he’s such a wonderful partner.
