just_m3h's manga / #Roommates(39)

Whoop! Love the second story about the roommates so much! That was the most painful confession scene ever! The first is good too! I love semes who seem harmless at first glance but have that inherent mean streak while still being all-around good people *sigh* Good job, sensei! Edit: man, was I inexperienced when I wrote this review. While this was certainly an angsty unrequited love / sad confession, there are SO many bittersweet yaois it doesn't hold a candle to. And while the story with the mean seme is nice, I've read hotter. Like, waaay hotter.

4* because I'm really frustrated we don't get to know what happens to Inoue

fluff and misunderstandings. Also, more fluff. It's really nothing speciesl, but there is also nothing to complain about. Plus, the art is beautiful. Hence, the 5*

Ch 1: Superb; soft and emotional. Very real. Both characters are so likeable 5* Ch 5: The childhood friend story (as kids they stick up for a gay kid, by saying they were dating too, they already did have feelings for each other) where both friends think they are the only one in love. Resolution can fairly quickly, in terms of the time period presented. But very slowly, when you consider the years between the childhood declaration and final confession. 4*

2: the snobby antisocial genius uke and the transfer student seme

1: Nitou is neighbours with the mysterious Shuuji, who happens to be gay, and doesn't care to hide it. One day, after Nitou is dumped, they have sex together. But when Nitou wants more than a physical relationship, Shuuji takes a step back. 4* 52: Hideaki is a young master and the student council president, respected by most, idolised by some. The only person who seems truly indifferent in the poker faced swimming prodigy, Sugimoto. But what does he really think? 4* 104: Kashiwai wakes up oneday to find himself naked, with a stranger in his arms. The stranger, Someya, is from the last bar he visited, where he is a regular. Someya is gay and says hat Kashiwai accepted his confession last night, but Kashiwai doesn't remember it and tells him he will hang out with him as a friend, because Kashiwai is straight. 5* 136: Kawamiya is going out with Suzuno, his roommate at the boarding school he attends. But rumours about Suzuno's past threatens their relationship. 4*

Despite the misunderstandings and the lack of conclusion to parts of the story, this still demands a perfect rating.

Summary: Morino, a new student in the dorm, fell in love with the vice president, Kusama, at first sight and then finds out he is rooming with him! Only, Kusama's affections appears to lie elsewhere. Thoughts: I didn't dislike either one of them, but they were not particularly likeable either, perhaps, especially Kusama. The story line was good too. Just not, amazing.
