blue's manga / #Beautiful Art(203)

Kimi ni Ienai Koto ga Aru

Complete | mofumofu edako | 2019 released

this manga was beautiful and well written. it’s was nostalgic in many ways. I’ll never understand why it’s so hard to accept your children. love is love but why is mine so wrong. after I was rejected I did the same to my partner, I thought if I continued loving them they would also be alone. they would never live society's version of “normal” and I felt I had no right to take that away. I’ll never forget the day I decided I also had no right to decide their happiness and their future. I cried to the point breathing felt impossible thinking my partner would leave but instead I was told “our love is not to be feared, it’ll be us against the world and I couldn’t picture a happier life.” haha kinda wanna cry again. this manga was beautiful and I'm thankful I came across it because it reminded me of how far I've come. we can’t decide what’s best for others we can only hope that standing by their side will be enough.

Chicken Heart Serenade

one is traumatized, broken, and unable to fully accept himself because of his family. the other one is frail and lonely. but when they are together we have serious and a goofball. a cruel world we live in that makes us feel the need to lie to ourselves. love is love but it has invisible rules that we can’t escape from. the realization that he would never be able to properly hold a woman bright him to tears. what hurt was that he cried because he realized that holding a man was nothing he thought he would experience and he was able to truly face his sexuality. parents would rather never speak to us again than learn to love us for who we are and I think that itself is a much greater sin than us loving the same gender. I think the author created a beautiful story that brings light to the dark side we face. the rejection. the abuse. the painful words. the loss of one's true self. I enjoy how this was represented.

Yukidoke no Koi

Complete | itz | 2015 released

5 stars simply because the representation of how gays in most cases feel was well executed. the pain of “turning” someone and them being rejected and facing the same obstacles I think the author did well showing that. the first couple was done well, I like how they became official after he graduated. I started to tear up when the student said “I will choose you even if I lose my original happiness... without you, it’s my unhappiness.” I think that was truly beautiful. it’s put in our minds the only acceptable love is between man and woman and when we go outside that expectation we fear rejection. we were created differently and in the end love is love why must my happiness be a sin? why must I ask God for forgiveness when I was happy, that would mean I regretted my choices but without them I would never be true to myself. I think the author did great with creating relatable characters. chapter 6 one-shot was hard to read because in the end he is a replacement and being used. the chapter 7 one-shot was heartbreaking, I know after that nothing but sorrow followed. they chose to be “normal” because they feared their love, the feared being rejected from society. they ended up choosing a life that will never make them whole. it’s sad and tragic.

To Take An Enemy's Heart

Complete | yusa | 2013 released

it finally happened, chapter 34 marks the beginning of a new story. at least I hope... why are there so many chapters left i’m getting anxiety. I dropped this and now I’ve been binging it for the past 6 hours. it’s nearly 5 am. so much has happened and this is probably the best enemies to lovers manga I’ll ever read. I finished and I loved it. the author created a beautiful story. the way they are completely infatuated with each other, how they looked at each other, and their passion and devotion just made me so happy to read. The miscommunication and the lack of trust hurt me so much to read but in the end, it was worth watching their development. I enjoyed the story so much and I can’t wait to read it again one day. My favorite part is most likely their matching scars. I’m happy the king and that one guy worked out. also, the couple that has the child that looks like our mc im happy they found an unexpected love.

Glasses Cloth and Playlist

this was great. it was fast-paced but the plot still moved well. the sex scenes were well illustrated and I loved the art style. this was funny and cute which made it top tier. nothing but consent and office romance.

if only they communicated sooner!! this was good way too short but it was like watching a short film so i’m actually happy with where it ended. it was romantic and cute. the dream of having someone who also appreciates what you do. the art style was beautiful and the colors used were magnificent. I felt the plot was kinda empty so i’m giving it four stars but besides that it was amazing.

Twilight (Nishimoto)

Complete | Nishimoto, Rou | 2017 released

I cried. the main character didn’t think the seme like him but instead, he thought it was hate and debt that kept them together. he spent all that time thinking the one person that stayed by his side only did so out of anger. I don’t know what I was expecting when I read this but it honestly broke my heart at some point. the ache I felt made tears form in my eyes. the dumb girl that caused all of this should’ve at least said sorry but people like her don’t care about the consequences of what they did. they feel embarrassed and have no remorse, it’s probably best we never saw her again because what she did is unforgivable and it’s something we deal with daily. I’m happy to see the growth of both characters and I'm happy they fully expressed themselves. I wish for the mc to become a photographer and his boyfriend to become a coach. that would be the perfect ending. this exceeded my expectations and I'm happy I came across it. they saved each other and found happiness from an unexpected meeting.

Fukigen na Kimi to Kimagure na Kiss

Complete | FUMIKAWA Jimi | 2019 released

this was great. I thought it was funny. I love how much the seme was all over the mc but he never thought he liked him. if the seme was upfront from the beginning this wouldn’t be but one chapter long so I can see why the lack of communication is important. anyways this was good and I liked the development. I also enjoy how both stories have both couples that appear in them.
