Junketsu Drop

This isn't shounen-ai, its yaoi. It's not bad by any standards, just standard yaoi fare but I felt reading this wasted my time. The story is piss-poor, it's just the normal 'oh my god don't rape me' to 'why do I like this' to 'I love you too', you know, typical stuff. It was okay hot, not too cute or fluffy, basically it was average. The art is nice I guess. The only thing I found enjoyable in the manga was the whole seme/uke situation, but it wasn't explored, and half the time they were fucking, it was boring. (3 is a low score, butit left a bad taste in my mouth. It's more like 5. Painfully average.)

I've read a lot of yaoi mangas, so it became harder to come across something that I will find really cute or really hot. This manga had these two aspects. Story: This is the dejà vu ''ennemies fall in love'' type of story. I have to admit the way they start ''going out'' (if you can call it that) is pretty unrealistic and had probably been done before, but they way they discover each other's feelings was really well paced, realistic and cute. Art: The art is beautiful. It makes you smile at how cute it is and, gotta admit it, the smexy scenes are really hot while notshowing anything too graphic. Characters: The personnality of each character is very well developed for a one volume manga. The way they act and think seems realistic and the characters are overall really nice. They might surprise you at times too! Enjoyment: I enjoyed this manga from start to finish, it was just so cute, hot and heart warming at the same time. It expresses really well the feelings of discovering lust and sex for the first time and also how love can be unpredictable sometimes. Overall: A really good real for any yaoi/shounen-ai fan. I feel like this book really stands out from what I read before - and I read a lot-, it is definitly one of my favourite yaoi mangas.

English version: With impeccable art, Naho gives us a story of two rival students, who, for some reasons, end up having a more intimate relationship than they expected. She does a great job calling on Kisaragi to collaborate on this manga, the history and art have come together so well that it has become one of my favorites. The couple in the story have very different personalities than the usual yaoi. Kasukabe is a cute and stubborn who could be mistaken for a uke, and Misato is arrogant and serious who could be mistaken for a seme, but when they're both alone they change completely as if it'stheir secret. Despite having a lot of hotter scenes, the manga as a whole is adorable and lovely, nothing too explicit, complete with jealousy and sweet words like "don't do this to anyone else but me". Portuguese version: Com uma arte impecável, Naho nos entrega uma história de dois estudantes rivais, que por alguns acontecimentos acabam tendo uma relação mais íntima do que esperavam. Ela faz um ótimo trabalho chamando Kisaragi para colaborar nesse mangá, a história e a arte se casaram tão bem que se tornou um dos meus favoritos. O casal da historia tem personalidades bem diferentes do usual de um yaoi. Kasukabe é um fofo e teimoso que poderia ser confundido com um uke, e Misato é arrogante e sério que poderia ser confundido com um seme, mas quando ambos estão sozinhos, eles mudam completamente como se fosse o segredo de ambos. Apesar de ter muitas cenas mais quentes, o mangá em um todo é adorável e agradável, nada muito explícito, com direito a ciúmes e palavras doces como "não faça isso com mais ninguém, apenas comigo".
