Destinies Cross

I planned on reading a rather average yaoi manga to pass the time since I haven't read BL for quite a few days, but it seems that I found some of the good stuff from my digging. Destinies Cross was worth passing the time with, definitely. The story, even though cliche, had some uniqueness into it. It wasn't predictable, quite random in fact, yet the randomness of each chapter fits the story quite unbelievably. Story: Kazune an undiscovered talent comes inside a coffee shop to attend a concert of an infamous band named KEEL. It just so happens that there were two people inside conversingthe other person seemingly asleep on the table, kazune asked the guy inside the counter if he knows the band KEEL and shocked to find out that he's one of the members himself. The band member asked if he could play the guitar and sing Kazune didn't refuse when the member allured him with the statement that the guitar given to him was sakyou's. He began singing, "why can't we just take him as the lead singer?" the man asleep lifted his head. It was SAKYOU! the one Kazune strongly admired. That is the very moment it all began, careers, popularity, and the most important ingredient of a good yaoi, LOVE. Characters: Kazune is an adorable and likable character despite how he is so composed on stage. He was the lead singer of the band named Keel at first but then quit for a "reason I can't tell you" and joined the band BLANCA to debut and became known nation-wide. Sakyou is a long-haired cool bishie, he has a hard time dealing loving a guy but later on overcomes it, he is the guitarist of KEEL and the one at fault for turning Kazune into a pro singer. I liked this manga because: It was enjoyable! You can't end the manga without your voice getting hoarse from all the shrieking. The romance was well-balanced and not over-the-top like some mangas. The art was quite promising since the movements flowed smoothly, especially the love scenes. The relationship between Kazune and Sakyou made me squint my eyes from the cuteness, they were my ideal couple. There were some dramatic parts in the manga but not overly dramatic but it was well balanced with a nice dose of comedy. It might be a little confusing on some scenes where the first person's narrations changes into either Kazune or Sakyou but most of the scenes we can see it's Kazune's thoughts we're reading. Overall I recommend this manga for all those yaoi readers out there looking for a manga to pass the time, but I may not assure you it will be a masterpiece. Hope I helped you with this review.
