Hana To Ryuu
WARNING: You will need a few items to read this manga. Several boxes of tissues, a fifth of your favorite alcohol - though I went through a gallon, and a teddy bear or other such cuddling accessory.
Mother's Spirit
This was really more wonderful than I ever expected. The story was sweet and heartwarming, but it was done so innocently and yet so maturely. Is that even possible? Such a contradiction, yet it worked so beautifully. This is a mangaka to watch.
Hana Ni Kuchizuke
I'm not usually big on cross dressing in Yaoi, but this story handled it well. I could easily see where, in a society that discriminates against homosexual couples, dressing like a girl would be convenient. Yet, I never got the sense that Hana was unhappy being a gay male. He took advantage of his slight frame and feminine features to make his way in the world without diminishing his maleness. Even a coworker at the Male Cheerleader club had a girlfriend. Maybe it was the Kansai ben, but he always "felt" male to me. I liked that most about this story. That, and the fact that he didn't hide his cross dressing, rather he and his partner both embraced it, made this story better than most dealing with cross dressing.
