Hoppe Ni Himawari

Complete | mita ori | 2014 released

One of my favorites! The sweet chubby Yone chan admires Akai kun because he always coolly saves him when the hyper kids tease him. So when he asks him for an outrageous favor involving ghost busting and cross dressing he agrees despite his fears. Little does he know that he is in for as they enter the haunted school building. This one of the sweetest couples and filled with classic misunderstandings, it's a short and wonderful read. The lovely art is sketchy and full of whimsy and personality. This fluffy story will undoutably bring smiles and cheer. A love based on personality not looks, a rarity in manga.

Aitsu no Daihonmei

Got boring and repetitive with the same thing over and over. The jealousy was just too much. I gave up for now, maybe I'll try again another time. Also the art style isn't my cup of tea.

Quite sweet. Cute story.

Oko-sama Star

Ongoing | aomiya kara | 2014 released

A boy meets boy love, first friends then lovers this story takes it time and builds their relationship. A solid take on a classic theme, the original art gives the characters a lot of personality and kept me interested. The endearing sweet characters drew me in, I love Honda-kun's flirty aggressive attitude. He's kind and warm not intimidating and cold like so many semes in BL. He actually seems like someone that would be fun to be around. Kaidou on the hand has a tough look that started some absurd rumors but is just a shy sweet kitty in actuality. (Speaking of kitty, that cat scene was freaking adorable.) ^ω^ The two characters actually have chemistry and play off one another, Kaidou's purehearted dreams to be a hero actor bring out Honda's protective instincts while his outgoing nature push Kaidou to open up and make friends. For some reason, at least in my experience this is rare for BL, a couple that actually works well together in a heathy way. All too often characters are forced together by sex or a selfish obsession without any real basis for a relationship and its called love. Okosama is a well written story and features relationships done right. Coupled with its graphic sketchy art style, and lovable characters I can't wait for what is in store for this sweet couple.

Smells Like Green Spirit

Complete | Nagai Saburou | 2011 released

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.

Yarichin ☆ Bitch Club

Ongoing | Ogeretsu Tanaka | 2012 released

Hot smut with a story. Original plot and beautiful art. Chapter 15 is hot af, I'm so happy that My Yuri ship sailed. It's the best when he gets intelligible. Also, is this a cousin triangle? I don't which one I like more. How is he ever going to choose.
