The Summer with You

This is super cute. One of the most wholesome BL manga I've read. Get into it. After I really enjoyed the prequel, I was excited to see that there was already a sequel released. The main reason for that excitement is that while I loved the prequel, it definitely fit into the typical BL story you often read where one boy confesses to the other and the other slowly realises that he's also in love. It's typical but very good. However, I was excited about this one because they are already dating at the start of the manga and you don't get that often so itmade a really nice change. I think what makes this manga great is that it is pure slice of life. Nothing particularly happens and if you were to write down the plot you'd struggle to come up with things to say. Since there's no summary above, I'll try and explain the plot. Wataru is working at a cinema and they are both attending different universities. They don't get to see each other as much as they'd like to. They go see movies together and then go to a firework show, then they take a trip to an island. That's about it but that's what I love about it. We had all the drama in the first volume but this is pure wholesome romantic bliss. There are lots of blushing and doki doki scenes. There's tons of my favourite thing: hand-holding. They kiss and confess their love. It's just adorable. My favourite moment was the moment just before it turns into a yaoi. It totally doesn't, it stays fully wholesome but there's one moment that heavily hints at what could have been which is fun because it triggers your imagination without ruining the vibe of the manga. The art is really good. There are some really nice scenes, it's all done very well. There's nothing confusing or out of place. The characters have some great expressions and it all works really well. Zero complaints. Overall, I would highly recommend this manga especially if you're into Slice of Life because it's so much more calming just to bask in the cuteness of their relationship without worrying about any calamities that might happen. Go read the prequel first and if you like that then you'll love this.
