yaoistarved's manga / #dating(2)

Koi Ni Nare!

Complete | tsukimura kei,itsuki kaname | 2011 released

I really enjoyed this because of the story and message being portrayed. I really like how accepting his friend was of his sexuality. We seriously need more stories like this. The overall love and support that the main character received from friends and tutors was fantastic and honestly the relationship was realistically portrayed. I really appreciated how the 2 main character's didn't immediately have sex, since there was more focus on character development and relationship building. Overall a great read :D

Seven Days

Complete | TACHIBANA Venio,TAKARAI Rihito | 2007 released

I really enjoyed reading this manga. I really enjoyed how simple yet realistic it was when it came to portraying a gay relationship. It was heart warming in that the one mc was looking for someone/partner who fully accepts him for who his is rather than liking him at face value. The whole "dating for a week" was cute and was able to show the love being unraveled slowly. The drama cd was fantastic and was done by my favourtie seiyu (voice actors). The live action adaptation was done pretty well and followed the manga pretty well. Overall it's a great manga to read. Nothing hardcore, purely 2 young boys discovering who they are as individuals and finding the right romantic partner.
