Stigmata - Seikon Sousa
I was totally impressed by this story!! So unique for many aspects and interesting for plot and characters! "Sequel": Stigmata - Aikon > Note: The first volume of this manga was seinen, but it has been revived as BL.

[[LGBT-themed Seinen]] ️Being a work by the author of Nabari no Ou, I was so drawn to read it! After finishing it, I say that it totally lived up to my expectations! I'm so amazed at such a great work. I loved the setting, the plot, the characters, the art, the whole atmosphere...you know, simply everyting! It was an interesting and enchanting reading...I was so immersed that I read it all at once! Indeed another masterpiece by sensei! And it's one of the best LGBT-themed story I read so far!️ P.s. I really wanted to see more of Touma and Tasuku! But I'm still quite satisfied, after all! Even if they're not together at the end of the story, with Touma having said to Tasuku that he can't respond to his feelings for now (and that's understandable), one can see that they are on really good terms now and they got so much closer, with Tsubaki telling Tasuku to call him Touma, his first name! So one can expect / think that at some point they will get together!

Sports-themed story focusing on motorcycle racing. There're seemingly three pairs: high schoolers Sou and Fuwa (the main couple - Sou is an enthusiastic racer. Fuwa is a playboy who at first pretends to know about bikes to get close to Kusanagi Sou, but then he becomes serious about racing too); Sou's older brother Kou (who was also a racer but had to quit after an accident) and Jin (the current champ racer who debuted when Kou was still racing. And it was actually because of his reckless driving that then Kou got into that accident); Ekuni (Ekuni engineering President) and Shirube (Ekuni's lead assistant and secretary). While it's a shounen ai, it's actually more of an ambiguous / subtext thing, as any possible romantic feelings aren't really pursued and aren't the focus here anyway. Things stop mostly at jokes and funny moments. The two side couples didn't even have a kiss scene and such. Sou and Fuwa had some interesting moments, especially at the beginning, and I was really loving their dynamics, but it's mainly Fuwa's doing, because Sou is really always thinking only about racing lol. But I loved their bond and reciprocal understanding, especially after Fuwa became serious about racing too (and speaking about Fuwa, I really liked his personal evolution!). Then, in the second part, the story becomes totally focused on them preparing for and doing the racing. Anyway, while I admit I'd have wanted to see a bit more of the characters' relationships, the story is pretty good! Overall, I really liked it, because it's not your typical BL, in terms of plot and characters' interaction etc., and it's attractively manly! Anyway, as long as the mood between the characters is good and the way they behave towards each other is authentic, it's not really necessary to have confessions / proclamations of love and such...theirs was really like an unspoken understanding and I think that's also one of the strong points of the story, which ultimately is an actual sports story and I really appreciated that!

≪✿✿≫ A beautiful masterpiece! - Ahhh so many life lessons here! I really loved each and every word said in this story...it became so precious to me. I loved the characters together with all their thoughts and feelings, how the story was structured and its pace. It was so well-crafted...in every little detail, characters' small movements or little changes of expression there were so many emotions! If you pay attention to those details, the more that the story develops, the more that you realize how from the very beginning their every action and word were so meaningful (especially in Touma's case)! It made me really empathize with the characters and I was so invested in the reading that I really devoured it! This is the best kind of youth / coming of age story to read for me! And I also hope that at some point there will be an anime adaptation, because it's so worth it and I'd love to see it getting animated! P.S. I admit that in the end I wanted to see more of those years they skipped through the time skip. Because, before that, Taichi told Touma his feelings weren't the same but he liked being with him and wanted them to stay best friends, but in the last chapter it's implied that, after he broke up with Futaba, he eventually chose Touma. They even got married, as we can see from the ring and also from Touma signing as Ichinose at Futaba's wedding (meaning that he took Taichi's surname), and they went to live together. Of course I'm so glad they ended up together and I actually liked the way the last chapter was done, but it's just that I wanted to see a bit more, especially the moment Taichi decided to be with Touma. But yeah, that was just me being a bit greedy...the story is truly great as it is!
Muchuu sa, Kimi ni.
Collection of two stories. I liked it. In particular, I really liked Nikaidou and Medaka from the 2nd story (ch. 5-8). Very cute BL undertones! I also like this author's art style. Adapted to JDrama
