Sono Koi ni wa Wake ga Aru

I'm getting tired of the same shouen-ai stories that follow the same premise; a weak, clueless uke who rebukes the persistent, reckless seme's obvious feelings. That is all. So you don't even know how happy I am to say THAT IS EVERYTHING Sono Koi Ni Wake Ga Aru IS NOT. The story follow Aoi, he attends an all boys highschool. He hates this because gay relationships are to be excpected. Due to his good looks most of the guys at his school target him, which is why despite his outer appearence, he becomes agressive and makes sure he doesn't get taken advantage of anyone. That wouldalso be the case for his also good looking friend, Tominaga, if he hadn't been dating the school's student council president. (Tominaga has his own manga which came before Aoi's story but has yet to be translated.) Aoi then meets Azuma a calm and collected guy who, unlike the rest of his school's population looks at him with eyes that show no sign of scorn or lust. Saying anything else would spoil it for you~ Here, I loved the art. Everyone looks attractive and great. Just how I like it. Oh, the characters. I love them all. The way they developed Aoi was spot on. No tsunderes, thank you author. The way he comes to accept his own feelings was perfect. Azuma was great too, this is the first time I've read a BL where the seme knows how to hide his feelings so well and for the right reason. Tominaga is such a good friend to Aoi, it's really admirable. It makes me wish I could read his story with the student council president. I came across Sono Koi Ni Wa Ga Aru by someone posting a photo of one of the manga's cutest scenes but without the name of it. The scene was too cute so I had to ask around. Completely worth it. I'm sure it'll have you smiling like an idiot at the cute and funny parts. Although it's short and nothing that serious, it's definitaly one of my favorites.
