RoseMary's manga / #Middle School(51)

This is such a precious gem in my opinion! I feel that it's underrated, when it's really not to be missed! And this is actually one of those stories where I can't really explain what I felt while reading...you know, it's just that it touched my heart...ahhh such pure and spontaneous feelings of youth! I really like to read stories about puberty and such and I think this is a great story like that! > A story that gives me similar feeling while reading is Shiro No Koro.

So sweet!! Chizuru and Amane are just too cute and they look so good together! I love stories about childhood friends, so I enjoyed following the development of their relationship, from friends to lovers~♡ And it was such a pure and genuine relationship! Even if Chizuru, as a healthy teenager, wanted to do more lewd things with Amane, he still took time to search for the proper way to do it with his partner, because he didn't want to hurt him...I really appreciated this. And it was also funny to see him thinking about how he felt about Amane and saying "Ahhh I don't know" haha so slow, but Amane already knew xD In the end he was like: do you wanna do me without saying you like me? (≧∀≦) I really liked this type of uke! Btw, I really wanted to see them finally having sex!

Without a doubt, childhood friends will always be one of my top weaknesses!! • Ch. 5 Neko ni Naritai - Apartment manager's Son x Tenant, Older Uke, High-school Student x Adult, Cats. > The cute cats stole the scene!

≪✿✿≫ One of the old works by Monchi Kaori - Good story about puberty and growing up. I wish there were more like this! Well, of course, I don't support the rape thing per se, but I really liked the story overall. I think it's a good work and I found it even cute, at the end of the day. I liked the way sensei handled the subject, showing the impact Danzou's actions had on the relationship with Shou, developed the story and portrayed their emotions from both their respective points of view. It was interesting to see this contrast between the beast-like, impulsive, uncontrolled emotions of Danzou and the pure, innocent, naive ones of Shou. Anyway, in the end they both came to terms with their feelings and were able to have their happy ending! >> Note: Ch. 6 (An Eyeful and a Handful) and ch. 7 (Going into Overtime) are not scanlated. I think they were unrelated stories, but still...

I'm so hooked on this! I love and find interesting these kind of stories, so I can't wait for next chapters!

"Back then, I wonder who was clenching their hand tighter. Was it me or him?" - Man, it's only the first chapter and I'm already emotional! I already feel that this is one of those dramatic stories that are sad but also beautiful at the same time! However, I'm so scared for the tragedy tag! The fact that they found each other is hopeful, because they are the only ones who can understand each other's pain...but I'm worried! I really hope nothing bad will happen to them!

• Ch. 1-2 Shiro No Koro - 5 stars! A true gem! I loved everything, the art-style, the setting, the characters and their dynamics...in particular, I liked the parallelism of the train scenes, where in the first one Fuji was holding Taiichi's hand and leaning on his shoulder while then in the second it was the other way around with Taiichi holding Fuji's hand and leaning on his shoulder! Those little details that show just how much they progressed! The pace was really nice! It was short but it felt like there was so much into it! I think it was all perfect like that. > A story that gives me a similar feeling while reading is Amadare no Koro. • Ch. 3-4 Spring is a Half-Step Ahead • Ch. 5-6 Ophelia - High-School Student x Uni Student // Art // Dead Lover // Finding Love Again // Mole - I liked this! • Ch. 7-8 Christmas Blues - Straight Uni Student x Gay Salaryman - "For 4000 yen...would you be my conversation companion? To you, I like you!" - I really liked this one and how it started! • Ch. 9 The Magic Medicine - Gay Uke x Gay Seme // Established Couple // Living together

Adapted to Live-action Movie - available at kissasian Maybe this is a story that may not be everyone's cup of tea...first of all, because of the art. In that case, I think it's still worth trying to read till the end. But then I guess it also depends if the story itself suits one's personal tastes. So, what I can say is that I recommend it especially to those like me who like old manga and turbulent, angsty teen romances / coming of age stories. Turbulent and angsty yes, but that are so good and pure after all. But really, for me it's a great story and I truly liked it. I worried together with the characters, but in the end I got a smile on my face and I felt hopeful. I think it's a story that can convey raw, real feelings that at first may seem depressing, desperate but that in the end truly touch your heart. That's why I'd actually like to recommend it to everyone, after all. Personally, I loved the movie as well. - "Our road extends much further than this" -
