RoseMary's manga / #Small Town/Village(21)

Cousins // Half-Japanese Half-American Uke x Japanese Seme > Well, that turn at the end of chapter 4 when the seme suddenly rapes the uke just because of a misunderstanding on his part was bad...even when the uke tells him to stop and listen to him, the seme slaps him and stops his mouth! It was a funny and cute story, so that was in bad taste, considering the vibe of the story till then. Overall, I kinda liked it (for me it's a 2.5), but it was better if that didn't happen and actually I'm not a fan of the characters. Also, when they talk in the end, the seme says he doesn't regret it! And then the uke, after kicking / punching him a few times, says he didn't dislike it in the end...he also loves him, so of course they have their happy ending, but it was still a bad dynamic and it made me feel it was pointless to take it seriously and getting frustrated on the uke's behalf...

One of the very best stories by Natsume Isaku! - I loved the setting, the characters and their interaction and dynamics. I could totally feel the atmosphere of the daily life of a small village in the countryside that at first was quiet but by the end somehow became a bit caotic hehe I loved how the sense of community grew even stronger! And I loved the harmonious, heartwarming vibe of the story. # 23 y.o. seme x 28 y.o. uke

1 Volume (Complete) - Raw: 77mh.in / colist_229221.html (from p. 77 not scanlated) > I liked some stories, but others not much...

So, horror stuff is not my thing at all, but at the same time I love stories with countryside / village setting just like this...and it's BL, so I can't not read it! Well, for now it's interesting and I like the art style!

• Ch. 1-3 Sonna Kimochi ga Koi Datta - Childhood Friends, Avoidance, Judo, Competition, Friends Become Lovers, Glasses-Wearing Uke, Persistent Seme, Injury, Unexpressed Feelings > Note: The title story is actually complete just like that. There're only a few extra pages at the end of the volume. 1 Volume (Complete) - Raw: 77mh.xyz / colist_204838.html

Adapted from Katayama Kyoichi's popular, heartbreaking novel called "Sekai no Chuushin de, Ai wo Sakebu", which was also adapted into multiple live-actions (Japanese movie and drama, Korean and Chinese movies). > Somehow, considering also the live-actions, this manga adaptation kinda felt like a summary. But it was still a beautiful tragic story!

// Complete // Very light shounen ai - I must admit that I found it a bit boring to read. But it was not bad! It's just that, while the story seemed inspiring and I was quite liking the first volume indeed, I felt the second somehow went downhill...so I didn't enjoy reading this as much as I thought I would...

Ahh that was beautiful! Truly beautiful and heartfelt! But the ending honestly left me a bit unsatisfied, hanging...because I wanted to see a bit more of them after that. Especially going back, then, at the beginning! Like, in the very first page, we saw a bit-older Fuyuki going back to the hometown after 10 years, so what did he do in those years when he moved to the city and what will he do after returning back home? What happened to Chinatsu...did she follow the music path like Fuyuki thought she would or what? Did something happen to her maybe? And other things like that...Somehow it felt like some things were left hanging...Man, I want to know! Why did Kitagawa-sensei rushly ended it like that? Personally, I'd even have gladly welcomed if there was a sequel with a-bit-older Fuyuki and Chinatsu. It was too soon to say goodbye to these characters...I'd have loved to accompany them a bit more... Anyway, it's a bit of a pity. It was so nice and all while reading, also with such beautiful scenery, but the ending left a sense of incompleteness behind. It was still really good, but in the end I couldn't give it 5 stars. Enzo from "Hotman" appears in a few scenes here as a teacher at the elementary school the protagonists of the story, Chinatsu and Fuyuki, go to. Towards the end, Nanami appears as well, saying to Chinatsu she had transferred to the school here before her to recuperate better in a place with clean air. So the story is set a few years after the events of Hotman. At some point, maybe when Nanami's condition gets better, Enzo and Nanami will probably transfer back to their homeplace, where we see them in fact at the very end of Hotman, after the 10 years time skip.

[ALREADY READ COMPLETE] Adapted from: Hibi mo Tsumoreba Koi to Naru > This is the story of Sora's best friend Ryu. #Color Blind

// Based on a Game, which also has an anime adaptation // - This manga version is an adaptation of the Sora's route, so the twincest one. > Personally, I really liked this! The setting was beautiful and, since I love this kind of setting, that's also what made me really like the story. Anyway, I think it was well-written. Well, maybe some details could have been done better, and in the end I guess I wanted to see a bit more of them, that's why I gave it 4 stars, but it was a very good manga to read with a very nice conclusion. And about the main theme, the twincest, it obviously depends on each person...as for me, I love to read this kind of stories because I love forbidden love themes, so I really liked it!
