otakulys's manga / #gay character(2)

Blue Sky Complex

Ongoing | ichikawa kei | 2013 released

Very sweet, pretty art (though not perfect, which is fine!), but the endless misunderstandings always kinda rub me the wrong way. I like where it went, though, and I love that the one character was actually gay from the start, like it wasn't a huge surprise for him, and it wasn't one of those "it's okay if it's you" BS moments. I wish more yaoi would experiment with that, what it's like to be young and realize you don't like girls the way that the other boys do. Anyway, I love this story so far, so I hope whatever follows is sweet, too.

Cute so far. We'll see where it goes. I gave it five stars for now because the art is pretty, and I like that the main character is actually gay. Might change from here, but I like what little there is at the moment. ETA: Poor Irie! I wanted to cry when he started crying, all embarrassed and awkward. What the hell. I was happy because there was an actually gay character, and yet it still manages to go into the typical yaoi "it's okay if it's you" bullshit. I hope it isn't as dumb as that, but I have low expectations. Switching to four stars for that, but we'll see!
