Me wo Tojite 3-byou

This is a really beautiful story about the pain and hardship of being a teenager. For all those teenagers out there and those who aren't anymore but remember how it felt like, you know how when you are a teenager everything looks so dark? Like you are all alone with the world closing in on you, suffocating? That's what this manga is about. That's basically the only conflict. But frankly, it's a pretty big conflict. This manga is about Chibana and Hiroto, two childhood friends. Chibana is going through a tough time in his life, and the only thing that is keeping him sane is hiscalming technique--he closes his eyes and counts to 3. But that doesn't always work when you are head over heels for your best friend and 16 years old so you don't know how to deal with it. To make matters worse, his father (or mother? let's just say "his parent") is moving them to a new town, so Chibana is going to be transferring schools. And since he is a teenager, saying goodbye to Hiroto is basically equivalent to the end of the world. In addition to the story and the relatable characters, I also really liked the art. I thought its fuzzy calmness fits the plot. Also, it reminded me of Ootsuki Miu's work, and she is one of my favorite mangakas. I am not sure I would label this as yaoi. I think it's much more of a shounen-ai.
