A bittersweet tale, techniquely it's not even a love story really. Though its hinted at that he has feelings, but it's never said. Well, that's how these things work sometimes, thats life for ya.

Nanohana Boys

Complete | Ppyong | 2000 released

Bonded by physical disabilities two third year boys become friends slowly building trust. Soon wounds continue to appear on Ishida, and eventually its revealed to be his mother beating him. Continually showing care and support and waiting until Kenji is willing to share what's happening, Yu eventually convinces him that he will help. They begin to put a record of the continual abuse he suffers to put his mother away and get him to safety. Showing Ishida kindness he has never known they grow closer and become true friends. I love this endearing and caring story. Can I trust the roommate, not sure yet... Also, is this BL? I don't know think it is, but I hope it turns out that way. Well, that was it?? Really!? It was so sudden, I feel so caught off guard. All that character development and not much happened at all in season 2. It would have been a better ending I think in season one, it dint really add much to the overall story besides him removing his one eye. I man even then, sort a disappointed it was built up so well with rich characters but after saving Kenji nothing happened. Still I liked season one a lot and love the characters, a touching tale of friendship.

Is - Otoko Demo Onna Demo Nai Sei

Complete | rokuhana chiyo | 2003 released

My hear stopped, tears ran down my cheeks and I smiled filled with support for these characters. This is truely an emotional story about accepting yourself and helping others to understand. Mostly about Haru and his family and friends it tells the story of an intersexual from birth to adulthood and all the trials and joys of this cast of characters. Heartbreaking at times and sometimes inconsistent you begin to root for these characters like they are a friend sending support. I got to say I'm still concerned for Haru's health without hormones I want him to live a long and happy life. Why can't he get male hormones instead? Also I feel like medicine has progressed a lot and there are alternate ways for them to be intimate. Also this manga is bringing to life it's message of bringing awareness of IS. And although it might sound odd, Haru reminds me of Naruto. They both have this keen ability to bring people together and make them want to be their best. Spreading happiness and strength into all the lives they touch. Thank god that wasn't the end because I was feeling really unresolved. At least it better not. I hope sensei can resolve Haru's relationship with Ibuki regardless of the outcome. I just want haru to be happy and feel loved. God damn it I'm finishing it 4 years later but this is a freaking awesome manga. One of my favorites. The story, the emotions are told so well. I was dripping tears as i finished up the final chapter. I truly loved it and hope everyone reads it. Its okay for us to exist.

Maki-chan wa Kare to Sex Shitai

Complete | TOMOCHI | 2017 released

Would of rather them being together been when he was healed. God that was sad...the relationship btw them was ok, but really sad. Great art tho. Could of done without un censoring for this one, it was done well. But didn't need to see that in that context, :,((

Mukizu ja Irarenee

Complete | sadahiro mika | 2006 released

Gus I must like pain cause I was so upset. God I really hated those two but also rooted for them sorta. I’m conflicted. I feel sooo much for Hanami but then he should of left long ago. Han-San was the only decent person almost. But then going out with a high schooler. This really was a clustfuck and painful, but also intriguing g and well written. It’s nonstop sex and drama.

I wish this was shounen ai, the scenes of abuse was too much to be forgotten for me to enjoy their sweet love. It jumped to physical and just felt too unbalanced for such a graceful quiet romance. My heart hurts for him and all that he endured. The are is beautiful and the writing is lovely too. Its sad while having a happy end.
