jnsky's manga / #slice of life(43)

Student council guy has weird tastes. Delinquient falls in love at first sight with him but is unable to convey his feelings appropriately as he glares a lot. Student council kid (Shima) becomes drawn to delinquient (Ryuu-san) after realizing that he has a soft side and that he's not really a delinquent. Ryuu avoids Shima so that Shima doesn't get drawn into any more fights with other delinquients because of him. Shima though ends up missing Ryuu and visits Ryuu's house, where he conveys his feelings to Ryuu. Turns out Ryuu loved him first. I enjoyed the main story even though I felt the sex scenes detracted from the main story. They had a wholesome relationship and sincerely cared about one another.

I enjoyed the first two volumes, but the love polygon in the third volume made me seriously scream at the manga - Junpei, you moron! The misunderstanding was completely unnecessary and seemed to be added just for the sake of manufactured drama. All of it could have been easily resolved within minutes if Junpei had just TALKED to Ei. ARGH!!!

SO cute, so sweet, so fluffy and heartwarming <3 Please give this manga a read if you want something uplifting.

Another heartwarming manga from this mangaka. I really enjoy her works. I particularly enjoy the undercurrent of loneliness and melancholy throughout her works. It adds an element of realism to them.

This was such a beautiful, beautiful story. The first time I read it, I found it to be a good, but not fantastic read. Somehow though, I enjoyed it even more after I reread it again a few more times and now I adore it. It greatly reminds me of Speilberg's film, "AI." MAKE SURE YOU READ THE DJ for the true ending of this story.
