Very Cute!

La Esperanca has a very cute ending here. There is a bit of tension with a soft release. Very cute (not yaoi, only shonen-ai) and I must admit to liking side characters better than the main characters (love Henry and his friends).

shounen ai with meaninful story. A+

Another great title in my collection, I enjoyed it from the beginning to end, At first i thought this was just another BL story in which the uke is weak and stupid and the seme is a drama-queen who falls in love with a boy that resembles his dead girlfriend. But no, this took a great twist with our guys' personalities and their situation that I even cried and felt bad for them afterwards. The developing of their relationship is slow but that's what makes them very realistic compared to another titles where the seme and the uke get together very quickly because they have to and that's it, in this story you are able to feel the emotions as you read. In my case, I could feel their love, fear, confusion and sadness whenever they were together and it is not often that just one kiss (there're only like 2 or 3 kisses throughout the whole manga)can have a great impact on the reader that a sexual situation is not necessary and could even ruin the beautiful moment that our endearing boys are having. Needless to say, I was very satisfied with this shounen ai manga, the main and side characters are all very likable, they will make you laugh, cry, jump of happiness, and feel so overwhelmed with all kind of emotions like i did.

Melody of Words

Ever since the first volume this series has held me in angsty suspense; the story itself is beautifully written and you feel for every single one of the characters, for all of them have depth and harbor insecurities and it's wonderful to see them work through it as the series progresses. As for this volume it surpassed my expectations and has become my favorite of all of the volumes since everything finally reaches its climactic end with everyone having given closure to past hurts and growing from the experience, especially Georges and Roberts relationship. All in all this has become one of my most favorites series ever!
