yaoistarved's manga / #Adorable(91)

Usually I'm not a huge fan of narusau dj but this one was FANTASTIC. I absolutely loved how the author was trying to be as historically accurate as possible and was attentive to details. I really loved the art since it was simple and pretty in it's own way. The story is beautiful and it takes a base from childhood friends and mixes it with "memoirs of a geisha" type of feel. I really loved how Sasuke was portrayed in this dj since most of the time he's so emotionless. It was a fantastic since it showed both Naruto and Sasuke's side of the story and it was a beautiful growing up dj. It really showed the difficulties that Naruto and Sasuke had to face living in the time period that they are in. Overall it was beautiful and the symbolism with the flowers was so romantic and beautiful.

Loving this one so far. I really am enjoying how this manga is playing out the character development between the mcs. I also really enjoy how comfortable the characters are with trying things that are considered "feminine" like finger nail painting. We seriously need more of this type of gender neutrality and this REALLY helps break any old gender stereotypes and helps open the concept of being comfortable with trying new things and breaking away from rigid, institutionalized constructs. Overall it is a cute start to a yaoi manga, with a realistic portrayal of friendship and kinship.
