After I really enjoyed the prequel, I was excited to see that there was already a sequel released. The main reason for that excitement is that while I loved the prequel, it definitely fit into the typical BL story you often read where one boy confesses to the other and the other slowly realises that he's also in love. It's typical but very good. However, I was excited about this one because they are already dating at the start of the manga and you don't get that often so it Synopsis: After Natsumi's younger sister and best friend Haru dies at the age of 19, she begins dating Haru's fiancee Togo - on the condition that he take her only to places he had taken her sister. Their relationship deepens as the seasons pass, but Haru's Curse lies between them... Will there be happiness after Haru's Curse is broken? this was originally going to be four stars for me, but the final chapter had me on a chokehold from all the emotions i didn't expect to feel in a manga with only 5 chapters that i couldn't help but give it five stars overall. What's It About? Chiharu Saeki and Wataru Toda are two high school students who share a common hobby: They love to watch movies. After they meet, they become fast friends, until one day, when Chiharu confesses his love for Wataru. Wataru says that Chiharu's confession doesn't bother him, and the boys continue throughout their summer, going to pilgrimages to see film spots from their favorite movies. But the more time he spends with Chiharu, Wataru realizes he may not only be as unaffected by Chiharu's confession as he claimed to be, but those feels may also be mutual. But, yes, symbolically (subjective) speaking, it ended so well for me. I love that scene at the bonus where Wataru took a picture of him too, while Chiharu was trying to capture another photo of him. I mean, I see that as a symbol of love that is reciprocated. It's just heartwarming. And if it ends there, it's enough for me.

It’s good that publishers like Kodansha and Yen Press are bringing out a range of BL titles that are accessible to readers of the same age as the protagonists. Even though this has a 16+ age rating, there’s really nothing that could be regarded as unsuitable for a ‘Teen’ rating. Me pareció una historia muy tierna y con un mensaje hermoso! Me encantaron los personajes! Sus emociones y su desarrollo. Nov 24 Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space Releases an Update Featuring a New Episode 'The Cliffs of Wyrmrest (Wryz Saga I)' on November 24

reassures us that Wataru and Saeki's long distance relationship worked, allowing readers to immerse in their lives as university students full of domesticity and just... pure young adult love. A sweet read, quite fitting for the summer, of two schoolboys finding each other. Maybe a bit generic and neat within the boundaries of the genre, but sometimes that is satisfying enough I just love them so much. I mean, how can you do that, Nagisa? I'm claiming it again, just how I claimed it before. You really reached me with your words too. Simple words, and yet, slaps me like a huge wave, sending me flying and crying. It hurts in a good way. And I need a love like it too. The Summer of You will definitely appeal to fans of shounen-ai like Seven Says. I, however, found it rather generic and clichéd. Kodansha Comics began publishing the manga digitally on March 24. Junko launched the manga in Kodansha's Bessatsu Friend magazine in June 2019.

Nagisa Furuya has a gift for drawing characters whose facial expressions and reactions tell us so much more than their words do (she’s especially good at eyes). Her BL manga are understated and subtle; as in real life, the vagaries of the summer weather (in spite of those limpid blue skies in the colour art) play a part in the way the relationship between Saeki and Wataru develops. What's nice is that Saeki really, genuinely gives Wataru space. There's even a scene where Wataru's passed out asleep on Saeki's bed (exhausted from a long day at work and then an evening with friends), and Saeki bends down to kiss him and then stops himself, because Wataru wouldn't like him doing that when he's not awake. In the case of this piece, Saeki never has a problem saying out loud that he likes Wataru. It is, in fact, that emotion which guides his every move over the course of the story – the two met as children and Saeki nursed his feelings for the other boy until they met again in high school, something he never anticipated. That certainly means that he had plenty of time to come to terms with how he felt, which isn't the case for Wataru. Wataru doesn't seem to have ever had a romantic relationship, or even particularly romantic feelings, before, and when Saeki confesses to him he's thrown completely off guard. Not, he stresses, because Saeki's a guy, but because he just never saw it coming. That Saeki wants to maintain their friendship with no pressure also throws him, but since he genuinely enjoys spending time with him, he agrees, and the two grow closer over the course of the summer of their second year in high school. Kodansha will begin publishing the manga digitally on July 21. Fukuda launched the manga spinoff of Cells at Work! in Kodansha's Morning magazine in October 2019. Kodansha released the manga's first compiled book volume on January 9. The manga took a two-month hiatus from December 2019 to February 2020.It's still sweet and I love how consensual it is, which is pretty unusual for a BL (sadly), but overall their energies didn't match at all in this volume. The whole time there was tension leading up to a sex scene – and it was just annoying, for me at least. Movies bond them together and lead to some real banter, and at least not the “boom, now I am in love with you” approach many other manga in the genre seem to take. At the end of this first volume of two about Wataru and Saeki, Nagisa Furuya writes, “I like drawing summer stories” and the intense shades of blue she uses for the colour illustration and the beautiful internal colour inserts are testament to her skill with colour. This is the first of her BL manga to be translated into English and it reveals her gift for story-telling as well as for characterization, both in her drawings and the interactions between characters ( S&N is currently being serialized on Renta! and The Two Lions is coming in print and digital from Seven Seas in December 2021). The shared love of film that unites the two boys adds an intriguing flavour to the story as they visit cinemas and discuss what they’ve watched. This is slice of life in the best sense of the word; there’s a wistful sadness pervading the whole text as the readers, alongside Wataru, come to realize how fleeting the pleasures of summer – and first love – can be.
