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.

Very sweet cute story about gay guy who struggles with his feelings for his coworker.

Nichijousahan Bi - Beautiful Life

There were times when everything was just too cute for words! Iyo is so freaking cute.......I can't even. Kya kya( ̄▽ ̄) Then it was all so heart wrenching seeing Fumichi abused and unable/unwilling to accept help. Though it ended happily, it was a bit vague. Though I was confused throughout the whole story, it could be things lost through translation or just a somewhat abstract story that leaves the readers to read between the lines. Loved the subtle art style, it matched perfectly with the story and the contrast and simple backgrounds made the characters stand out. I wish there were more, I would like this story developed more and an extra that had them living as a happy family.

Very sweet, just so fluffy! (^∇^)I love me an assertive uke and a shy seme, I wish there was more. Also those pigs are so cute, but that they eat them saddens me. It was more of a slice of life about this couple, I would love to see more of their antics. Very heartwarming and pretty art. Im seriously loving sensei! *Just a heads up this is shounen ai and has a single page yaoi extra, so if your looking for smexy scenes this may leave you wanting. ;)

Mauri to Ryuu

Ongoing | Moto Haruhira,Moto Haruko | 2013 released

Okay, I really want to love this, but all the child like young uke's bug me especially compared to the mature semes. Though the first collection of stories don't go into yaoi so it's better I guess. But otherwise I love the sweet natured tone and theme of this manga. It's so original and really refreshing and seeing Raiku protect Mauri was so freaking cute. I love the gorgeous art it's so charming and whimsical, you really get transported. The characters are so beautiful.
