Hyung's manga / #Realistic(9)

This was heart-warming. It's about a guy whose his older brother is in a relationship with another man and all the familial implications that carries. Worth a read if you're looking for something different.

It's about this energetic guy and this hearing-impaired guy and how things happen.

I watched the movie first. You should watch it immediately after reading this. Or vice versa. Personally, I liked vice versa. /chinhands

Ah. This is probably one of my newer favourites. It's a slower, mature take on the progress of a relationship, I guess. Man, I wish this was like a million chapters longer but, y'know. It's not a webcomic. ;_;

A fine example of the quintessential 90s manga. Lmao, I feel like I have to preface this with that. I'm so fucking old I remember when this was still being scanlated. This was pretty representative of the mindset of the 90s homosexuality in Japan. So, you kind of have to think of that period of time when you're reading this. It's basically a coming of age story, one half about the struggles of accepting one's own sexuality vs what society expects one to be, while the other half is about maturing and getting out of an unhealthy life style as a young person before it's too late. There are parts of it that are skeevy as hell, especially when it comes to Masaki's older brother's friend (who's a cunt who should be thrown in jail), but there's also an exploration of relatable real life issues, like Masaki's big scare later on in the manga, which is very, very scary if you ever find yourself in that unfortunate situation. I could go on, but I remember being able to relate to this manga (in ways I usually don't when I read yaoi manga) when I was younger. So I definitely got a soft spot for this manga. But I acknowledge not everyone's going to like this for a few reasons that I could point out myself, but I'd rather have people judge the story for themselves. (I laugh at my Realistic tag because some parts are so laughably stupid but I still love it despite its flaws. Ugh, I wrote too much. Bye.)

WOW. This was amazing from beginning to end. The story certainly evoked a lot of emotions, both happy and sad... I pretty much loved this manga from the first chapter. (Can we say CUTE?) But I wasn't really sure what to expect, considering there were 5 more chapters to read. Spoiler: I wasn't disappointed. I never wanted this story to end, but then it does, and it ends the way it should have end. I've never been so satisfied with a story before. This is a love story about two young boys who actually do have to grow older -- with all its ups and downs -- and I think that's one of the reasons I loved it. TIME TO READ IT AGAIN
