Twilight (Nishimoto)

Complete | Nishimoto, Rou | 2017 released

This story was exceptional. Polar opposites Ryou and Youhei became friends in high school. Ryou was energy personified. He was confident, outgoing, devilishly mischievous and a great soccer player. Introverted Youhei had no friends, spent his time in the library and walked around with his eyes on the ground. On the day he found his grandfather’s camera and bought it to school he looked up at the brightness of the sky..only to have Ryou crash into his life and stake a claim. There was a lot of angst and heartache that followed them falling for each other with an event that changed their lives. But even through that darkness there was devotion. When they faced their fears and communicated honestly with each other we got to see that their love was beautiful and strong and we (the readers) could breathe a big sigh of relief they have the HEA they were heading for from the start. It’s hard to sum up just how wonderful the mangaka’s beautiful art style, descriptive language and use of plot development was for making this so satisfying to read.

Heaven's Trap

Complete | Machida Tomato | 2000 released

Stalker x Happy go lucky Promiscuous guy Naruse enjoyed the perks of uni life. Man or woman, he sought pleasure in the moment. When his moment was intruded upon by 3rd year engineering student Yoshino, Naruse became intrigued by the calm personality before him. But Yoshino was more intense than Naruse anticipated, and Naruse needed was faced with a dilemma of falling for someone who may he as broken as he was. I liked the story and for all it was a tale of obsession and stalking, it wasn’t really toxic or disturbing. The characters made sense and they were a dichotomy of sexily endearing and toxically wholesome.
