Cereah's manga / #Shounen Ai(144)

Gunjou no Subete

Complete | FURUYA Nagisa | 2000 released

"You are my life." ASDFghjk I DIED (*≧▽≦)ノシ)) On a more serious note (WARNING! SPOILER ALERT).. I loved how the story progressed slowly and gave especially Kai's feelings more depth and his actions meaning. I really sympathized with him. He had been harboring those unrequited feelings for a while and wasn't planning on confessing any time bc of their friendship. Everything up until there was pretty natural and realistic. Ren's character seemed too half-hearted to me. He admitted that he noticed Kai's feelings towards him, but never confronted him about it since he was supposedly too dense or in denial to recognize his own feelings. He only admitted to those feelings when Kai practically had given up on everything. Doesn't that come upon as half hearted to you? Yes, I know such characters are the norm in most shounen ai mangas, but I was kinda expecting something more elaborated from this mangaka. With Kai being such a great and forward character you would expect that Ren would be the same. Like, Number call was definitely something else from the characters to the developmemt start 'til finish. And Gunjou no subete would've been too, had it maintained the same quality until the end. Then again, who am I to complain it was still a great read and still way above your average shounen ai read in this era. I just have to get this out there tho: the confession was pretty cheesy. The cheesiest one I've read the entire year (2018) so far. I was sincerely waiting for one of them to start laughing, but they didn't so it made it even more cheesy. (ノ-_-)ノ・・・~┻┻

Hoshi Dake Ga Shitteru

Complete | furuya nagisa | 2000 released

I finished this back April 11, 2018. Just wanted to log it. Still remember it clearly tho, it's quite unique and very memorable. Now that I found out the mangaka also wrote one of my favorite manga's, Number call, I'm quite happy.

Kimi wa Natsu no Naka

Complete | Nagisa Furuya | 2000 released

You know what? This manga seems like it would be a great movie or like an live action. Everything about this was perfect! Nagisa sensei really outdid herself this time around. Kimi wa natsu no naka excelled in everything that Gunjou No Subete lacked, in terms of character depth, development and originality. The idea about making Wataru and Saeki film geeks was very neat and gave the manga a whole different vibe then if they were to be normal students that were adventurous. The atmosphere however was SUPER tense and was constantly building. It was like watching a movie. I could really feel that tension throughout reading the manga. It reminded me a lot of Seven days by Takarai Rihito. Alwaya keeping the readers on edge. It was an amazing ride. 10/10 I would definitively read this again.

The Two Lions

Complete | Nagisa Furuya | 2000 released

I want to read this so bad, but there is only four chapters that are translated. Imma wait a few months before I indulge myself in this manga.

Life Senjou no Bokura

Complete | TOKOKURA Miya | 2016 released

Finished this April 4, 2018. Heartfelt story. 10 out of 10 would reread again.

Star x Fanboy

Complete | Kim Cheomji | 2000 released

Gahhh I can't wait until season two comes out. This was really adorable and perfectly paced. I've read mangas before with the same type of plot, but all of them were so fast paced and awkward. This however was so brilliantly made and well balanced over all. The author nim is very good at making it all seem natural even for a unrealistic plot like this haha. I'm expecting a drama filled emotional rollercoaster for the next season. Fighting!
