Rumspringa no Joukei
Great poignancy in this story about an amish boy who goes out for his "time to be free" in the amish way of life, before taking his vows, and meets a prostitute who is ironically the only one kind enough in this city of supposed "good folks " to help this absolutely clueless amish boy live while he lives out his time to learn anything beyond farming. Even though it might seem like "attaches to the first thing", it's not, and I think Oz ends up changing more than the amish man theo. Light in darkness
Katsubou no Manazashi
In the words of Aizen, the betrayals you can see are meaningless. It's the ones you don't see coming that are the scariest. That can sum up this interesting manga about a boy who feels like he is being betrayed by his uncle and hates his life.
Haru O Daite Ita Alive
I am so grateful they continued this series that can only be called a staple in the yaoi world, and even with all the yaoi since these early days, still remains one of the best and well done. And still the best switch couple.
On Doorstep
An ex-cop struggling to get through the day though he hides it well, has his life changed by a useless pickpocket he catches stealing a wallet on the train. He may be useless, but besides being gay he is incredibly perceptive. A good story and really unique art.
Jawbreaker
I don't want to give away the story but Daniel, the sluttly gay friend of Logan is not quite the I'm in love with my best friend guy....
Entropia
04 21 A really interesting story about a hybrid elf/human, that are hated by elves and notoriously treated horribly, taken in by a winged. Here, Taavi accepts that the stability of being a slave is a way of life compared to what he had endured, but there is more to Taavi than he himself knows, and more to the winged who saved him, Raskin, only to lose him to the general akros as a higher rank. Incredibly interesting and unique.
