ReviewRaptor's manga / #Shounen-Ai(4)

His House

Complete | YOO Ha Jin | 2014 released

The plot is a bit lacking here and there (some things were just left out despite being a bit important) but all in all this is a good manga. I personally don't get the yaoi tag however as there is nothing sexual hppening that we can actually see (not even censored or anything or hinted action, just a hinted handjob which was more than vague). Still, great artwork, good story and a nice open ending. It's a good read. :)

Kanemochi-kun To Binbou-kun

Complete | hideyoshico | 2012 released

I prepared to leave a review asap but then the sudden jump from chapter 5 to 6 happened and now I'm confused if someone forgot to upload a chapter or multiple or if it's actually THAT much of a writing fault to have such a large, randomly placed and glossed over skip. The story is lovely, sweet innocent romance on each persons part, but that time skip with the way to random and quick plot solution threw me off so far you'll need to send my mail to Jupiter.

Koi De Wa Nai to Omoitai

First of all: the artwork is often giving me Boku No Hero vibes. Which I love~ Good artwork, interesting yet simple story. And realistic too! I would honestly love seeing more of them. They have a such a natural and realistic way of acting and thinking, not making a big deal out of things guys would not make a big deal out of. I really REALLY need more of these realistic guy BLs. <3 I would love seeing them dating, prepare for college or such and living together. Encountering many different things in life and just casually sliding through life to a grand happy ending. And I say this as someone who doesn't care for seeing the slice of live, already-a-couple, part of love stories. So I think that's something. XD Both of them are interesting but I can see how maybe the author didn't have much more ideas for them and that's why it's just a short story. It works well as one, that's for sure. Which makes me think this might be a good anime candidate. Would give the genre some more positive rep and be a simple, easy to digest plot. Definitely worth a read for those looking for something absolutely drama free and non-dramatized (the latter being very important btw, this is so rare). A nonchalant little love story worth reading I would say. :)
