Path to You
chp 40.This is an interesting slice of life story, very shounen ai, about a quiet, introvert but handsome guy, Jensen, who is in his last year of college, and about to fail a class. He has to re-do his paper in a week, but though he has friends he doesn't feel comfortable around people enough to ask anyone. At a restaurant, some guy comes up to him a bit flirty and very drunk, and throws up all over him. The next time, they happen to meet among mutual friends, and Niel, the one who threw up on him offers anything to forgive him, and Jensen asks for his help with his paper. Here comes the two of them slowly becoming friends, and the introverted Jensen and the very friendly Niel become very close. I like the long story and character building, and the art got better as the manga went. The only thing is that it is too slow, and the timing with some of the things Niel says, doesn't make sense. Niel, who is gay, though closeted, tells Jensen that he hasn't dated anyone in two years, but seems to have trauma from his best friend in high school, and that was 5 years ago? It's definitely worth reading, I just hope the author puts as much effort into showing their relationship as she does building it.
