This one was very good. The approach of beginning the story with a break-up and pepper it with present day "hook-ups" and past storyline was nicely done. I also really liked the domestic issues as the catalyst for leaving, change, and eventually reunion.

The art is stunning and the historical yet not so much story is interesting, I did find it a little long and disjointed in some parts. But especially *loved* the use of color- the yellows, oranges, blues were simply stunning and the "stained glass" windows through out the palace were spectacular.

Rain Again

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The dark student past for both of them with one exhibiting outwardly and the other inwardly but coming to the surface later was very effective storytelling. The art was beautifully drawn and the story developed perfectly over the 20 chapters. If this was available as a book, I would buy it, too!

Short but beautiful story of "forbidden" love from a younger brother towards his widowed brother-in-law.

I totally love stories with societal taboos! Step-brother loves brother in his adopted family. This kind've love seems so natural b/c we ask kids to love each other when not biologically related but still "in a family" but then frown when that love is not familial but romantic! Will try to buy book.

Haru wo Daite Ita

Complete | nitta youka | 1997 released

Absolutely loved this one - plowed through all 70+ chapters (which are more like books for each chapter) and couldn't get enough. Japanese manga about 2 AV actors who at first are competitors and un-attracted to each other but as they mature and grow out the AV business, they are together. The majority of the chapters are them together experiencing life and its many ups & downs. Great adult material, too.

This is much like "Here U Are" for me .... very sweet, tender, and innocent! The 2 MLs in here are beautifully drawn and are developing slowly but richly. The "Villain" is, of course, not and thankfully our hero discovers that early on. The gentle love that is blooming is so tender and sweet, I look forward to every episode like a delicious piece of chocolate...glorious in the moment but over too soon.

I plowed through this one! Even shed some tears at the pregnancy and baby moments!! As with most omegaverse, the love-hate-tug-pull beginning was predictable but it definitely grabbed me with the unusual plot of omegas being extinct and Alphas being alone. I loved the art work too - soo pretty.
