fujomom's manga / #adventure(4)

This is categorized here as shounen ai but there's no real romance yet. It's pretty much a bromance at most. I hope romance comes soon, but honestly, I really liked this story just the way it is. It's a fantasy set in another world. Two groups are after a valuable artifact and everyone ends up dying except for two guys, each from the opposing group. One is a smooth-talking slave and the other more pure and immature. The artifact transforms into arm bands that protect each other from anything that intends to hurt them, including from each other. Stuck with the bands, but with both wanting them for their own reasons, and neither trusting the other, they journey to a far away island to find someone that might know how to take them off. Along the way they find out that they arm bands will also find things that others are looking for and they use the gratitude of others to survive on their own. All the while they grow to be something like friends, at least until their secrets are suddenly aired and confused, hurt feelings from the past come between them. I think this manga is SUPER interesting and even though there's no sex or even romance at this point I still really enjoyed reading it! Can't wait for more chapters!

YAY! This is the sequel to Shuuten Uknown. It was classified as shounen ai but Shuuten Unknown was much more of a fantasy adventure. Here's to hoping that there will be actual romance in this sequel, though it says it's shoujo???! Say it isn't so! I hope that's an error (note to self, edit this is it does change) It's an interesting, fun story and I've really grown to love the main characters, Sayatoki and Yoruma, and I love how I've seen them grow from enemies to friends. They are precious.

Forest monster Kavo rescues middle aged man, Liam, from what looks like being raped. But it turns out Kavo is sweet and pure-hearted and Liam is a pervy rascal.

Uriel is a “cursed” prince forced to live in, basically, captivity until he convinces his attendant Alvie to let him go near the border of a neighboring country that he’s fascinated with. He ends up getting kidnapped by a hero of that country, who falls for him hard. Nice, passionate love story!
