just_m3h's manga / #Time Travel(16)

The 5 stars are in honour of the absolutely heart-wrenching first story 1: A boy is displaced from his time, nearly a 100 years into the future. And woe is me, he falls in love and falls hard. He makes a place for himself in his lover's heart but life can be cruel. Where one day passes for one, the other has already lived and died, loving to his last breathe. Beautiful. 120: Art students in mid 20th century Europe? Not quite sure. Simple and difficult to love as the character details and their circumstances are crammed into a small number of pages. 147: Something about a gay dude, whose family gives birth to gay first-borns. His lover is originally straight. Forgettable, frankly.

sequel = dorobou to hatsukoi

1: Amano reunites with his high school love, Takase, whom he considered out of his league. Takase appears to have a very different recollection of their time together, and flames that never really went out are rekindled. Involves time travel, but is never explained. 4* 2: Momoi was a senpai of Tachibana's back in high school and is now an up an coming artist, while Tachibana is a part time worker at Amano's cafe'. He stole a painting of Momoi's in high school, but returned it right away because he didn't want to dirty the painting of the one he loved. Only thing is, he's not the only one who has been hiding things. 5* 3: Haruki has always been in love with his childhood friend who is ten years his junior, Hikari. Only, he never thought his feelings were appropriate nor would be reciprocated. 4* Overall thoughts: The theme appears to be re-encountering old, unrequited love and inferiority complexes. I enjoyed it a lot. 4*

A plot that is so unbelievably unique. Saddening, when you think about what that says about the diversity of yaoi. I am extremely excited to read on

Read up to end of 13 This fucking story. Witches and time travel and extortion and the mob and shady doctors and exes in trouble and political marriagesand sex or die curses... I mean, pick a fucking theme! Or a handful, yeesh! Not 2 dozen! Really not my thing

The lonely Yui who is estranged from his family meets Amemori, who claims to have dreamt of Yui his whole life. There's another, that's less SciFi and more supernatural fantasy that has a similar deus ex machina. I love both. Amemori, the old one, is absolutely lovely, he's so gentle and caring and confident and just truly my ideal in every way. The financial analyst amemori could grow on me, for sure. He's so perceptive and sought Yui out so quickly. Yui is such a wonderful character, so brave and selfless. I wish them 200 happy years together ^.^ 5*? I say 10*!!

Kunimi decides to end his miserable life but get transported back to his high school days instead. Or does he...? We all need a Gaku in our lives. Seriously. Patient to a degree I didn't know people could be. Loyal to a fault. Man. I want one. Kunimi is so brave to come out to see him without knowing anything. True, he fucked up by turning away. Choosing to end it all. But he redeems himself. Both in the “afterlife” and in reality. I loved the plot! Did not go where I expected, at all. 5!!!!

Ch 13

The plot is utterly fascinating. But the length leaves much to be desired. It feels like this will probably still be going 10 years from now. Because we've reached the 90s with so much left to be resolved. Ch 96
