Mr Marsian's manga / #slice of life(3)

Koimonogatari

Ongoing | Tagura Tohru | 2000 released

This is genuinely one of the best BL I have ever read, if not the best. I can't really explain why I am so infatuated with this manga, but I think it's a multitude of things. It's painfully realistic, and extremely relatable. The characters are all fully fledged and attaching. The story isn't necessarily a romance, as it focuses a lot more on friendship in a judgmental society. But even the falling in love part feels accurate. Midway through rereading it, I caught myself thinking that a relationship between the two MCs (Yuiji and Yamato), would maybe feel more unnatural than anything and that their friendship was maybe better left untouched, which is rare for me to think, as I am a professional delusional and auto gaslighter. But the story evolved in a way that quickly shoed that idea from my head. I really need to see Yamato accept his feelings and Yuiji realize that he might be bi (or anything in between). I don't think this story can end before doing that. Especially with the story building up around Yamato having to accept his feelings to be true to himself. They just go so well together brooo Anyway, 10/10, would recommend, and I need a continuation asap.

Again, I feel like I'm repeating myself everywhere, but this shit is easily in my top 10. Contrary to the other mangas/manwhas/manhuas on which I usually leave a comment, this was a random find and I am writing this after my first read, instead of my second read. But I really wanted to say that this manga made me smile all the way through. The comedy is well balanced with the seriousness and the author knows how to make this extremely realist. The only plot hole was with the Noona, but honestly, who cares ? I enjoyed myself during this read and the "rape" (nothing happened don't worry) part was very well handled. At some points, I found myself getting annoyed with the blond guy, but I still felt deep attachment and could relate with him. An amazing read, I recommend this for those who need an angst break.

This was truly a beautiful ride. I really recommend for anyone who wants to see this beautiful lgbtq+ representation. Maybe you'll see yourself maybe you won't, but you won't regret reading this. Enjoy
