Beachloves's manga / #interesting(278)

Not gonna lie this was an interesting one. ***Spoiler thoughts*** There are three friends who are all dreaming of having sex with the other in a love triangle. Which is fine, but I really felt that the two childhood friends should have ended up together instead of the two more recent friends who kinda fuck around together to test it out. The other thing that pissed me off was the last childhood friend who is left out of the love triangle. So the reason he doesn't pursue a relationship with the main character is that he decides "I will not become gay" Like bro WTF? I'll tell you what, I'm gay and in my experience no matter what you do to fight it you just can't. You are born that way. If they had gone the route of "oh he's bisexual but he is just choosing not to pursue relationships with men out of fear" then that would have been fine. But you can't just think about it and be all like, "nope I'm not gonna be a homo anymore... whelp! Problem solved! I have absolutely zero attraction to the same sex and I never will again for the rest of my life!" Ugh so fucking irritating to me.

This one got me. I laughed, I cried, I was moved several times by the tender sentiments and struggles depicted in this story. Finding your own happiness is far more important than trying to be "normal."

Not gonna lie, the MC is so awkward and makes me cringe. BUT! The art is so fucking phenomenal! The author chooses the most unique angles to show from and it gives such an interesting perspective! The sex scenes are impeccable! Remember to read the short sequel " Koiiro Soft Focus"

Not often in BL do you get to enjoy a narrative like this one. The perspectives and personalities of the two characters are so unique. The way that emotions like isolation are shown visually (stars on a winter night scene) is really striking. To be honest the art style is not as refined as some other stories I've read but it is worth it just to enjoy this character study.

This was a super interesting mystery story, it was really entertaining. ***Spoilers*** Why the 4 stars if it's so good? The whole point of going back to his hometown and find Aki is so he can face his trauma and have sex. So he can move on and be physically intimate with his new love interest. And in the end, we never get to see them smash?!?!?!!?!?!? Like WTF? the buildup was like 6 chapters and then nothing??? But it's not like there are no smut scenes in it because the first like 5 panels are depicting a kid getting raped?!?!? ugh!!!

This was better the second time I read it. The first time I wasn't prepared for how fu*ked up it was gonna be... But when I was expecting it, I didn't mind the twisted characters and was able to enjoy it more.
