Royanna's manga / #School Life(327)

The chapters are too little but it's really cute.

The ending was absolutely wonderful, I love it so much. Reading yaoi isn't just about smexy scenes and romantic gestures, but it's also about discovering oneself and pursuing the path that makes you happy. This story is every bit amazing. The way the topic was introduced slowly that you personally could relate to (I am never a homophobe), about a person's struggles of accepting oneself despite what other people think. The scene was pretty good, living in a rural area where everybody know everybody's business makes it really hard for you to move and be yourself that's why our three precious protagonists dealt with their emotions and feelings differently than what they truly were. It was purely a satisfying read till the end because everyone lives the way they really wanted and they were very happy and it makes me so happy I could actually cry. I just want people to experience happiness and contentment in their lives without holding themselves back and just be proud.

Everything this author makes is top notch! This in particular is so good. The art, the story, the smexy scenes. I love everything. Also, I've never seen fuller lips drawn before but this looks wonderful.

The title really says it all, I could never fully understand these characters. Although it started pretty strongly and ended well that it got me hooked, the build up had too much drama and a lot of misundertadings (you could literally read them yelling "It's a misunderstanding" every time something's wrong *sigh) that I feel like it was just thrown there to give depths. I think the author wants to portray different kinds of love story with these different couples but some are just too much or doesn't really make sense to me. I liked the main couple because in the beginning they really had potential with their different outlooks and all that they had overcome so many obstacles together on how personality tops physical appearances, albeit the story took a weird turn, but it made me happy in the end. Then there's the second couple, the childhood friends which I personally liked more, was a cliche storyline and was quite short to my liking but their relationship was so cute and so sweet that I really, really, really wanted more from them. Then the toxic relationships I find of the ex-president x friend, which was a huge question mark because what was really the context and the ending? I need to see more progress. And lastly, my least favorite storyline was the popular guy x fat guy. I hate how shallow they were as characters. Obviously they are more attracted to physical appearances than what they really felt. Even the archer dude thinks it's better not to tell the blonde dude that he was the fat guy in middle school because he doesn't want to be hated and gets left behind. That was pretty frustrating but whatever. Then there's all these meaningless characters who are just as obsessed with looks and popularity that I can't even be bothered to think about. In the end I just wanted to be Joohee, the awesome, unproblematic and strong president who could really see through your bullshit and has a firm principle on her own. She is the only sensible girl in the entire story and she was so amazing. Her character was very well written that I was so happy she wasn't involved with anyone who could dim her light. Initial thought while reading: The slow burn is killing me!

Even thought the stories felt heavier, it somehow comes out as something fun and refreshing. I liked all these developed storylines from two friends realizing they had feelings for each other (one with a pantyhose fetish - so hot), and the age gap relationship of the sensei and student. They are too cute! I most especially liked the the guy who got together with the school doctor because he was seriously adorable with his facial expressions and strong personality. I was also giddy when I learned that the drama cd for this manga was voiced by some of my favorite seiyuus, and of course it has to be Eguchi-kun and Nishimaya-kun being a couple in this story too! <3 <3 <3 and also Yuuma Uchida was also cool. I hope I could listen to the drama cd of this story soon and I bet it will be so hot and fun!

Awwe, they grow up so fast! Their relationship was really cute and too wholesome. I wish I was as academically driven and a pursuer of dreams while I was still studying, then I would've have been in a field where I am interested in. But sometimes studying is so boring and thinking of going to school everyday was too tiresome. In their case, they were both inspired to work hard in order for them to get into the same university and be able to stay close with each other. It's true that if you have someone you can rely on and encourages you on something, you better believe you can do it. I hope there's more to their story though. I would like to see their uni and adult lives wondering if it's as chill as this one.

Sexy panties are so sexy. Haruma has more sexy panties than I have it makes me jealous. But I am more of a cotton and silk type (LOL). Anyway, the story was quite good. Childhood friends to lovers are typical troupes but if done right they're really nice. It doesn't hurt that the smexy scenes were so hot too, especially with those itsy bitsy teeny weeny sexy panties. Now it makes me want to buy some LOL.

Definitely one of the best yaoi slice of life stories I've read. What started out as two boys living the school life with fun and excitement with a lot of love fast forward to them thinking about their future and what they want to do as adults. It did a pretty good job at making this story realistic and relatable especially when Kodama fell in love and felt jealousy for the first time but managed to think rationally of his feelings, and Takao becoming a better man and proving himself worthy for Kodama was a really nice touch. I didn't expect to be hit right in the feels for this one, I just thought it's another cutesy bl but it was really something deeper and more meaningful. I'm so happy that they were able to touch on some aspects of reality that shows life goes through hardships and making decisions is hard but you just gotta do what you are passionate about. I really liked this story, surely on of my favorites of all time. I could only hope there would be more of this adorable, sweet, and lovely couple. <3
