All Night Long is a good surprise!
When i started reading, the sinopsis made me feel it wasn't too much, since is so generic and we have a lot of BL about a straight guy envolving with a gay guy, and we know everything, but in some way this manga makes different. It's so fluid, the art is really good (i liked a lot), and it is really cute how the things turn in the end, isn't more about sex, is about feelings, and even with only 5 chapters (and one extra) i can sense this, with all of little things that Noburu does.
It really made ... my heart warm.

All Night Long is a cute, light manga. Noboru is just realizing he might be gay and decides to tell that to his two best friends who not only are okay about it, but they suggest he tries it out to see if he really is gay or not.

Obviously, that’s easier said than done, but when one of his friends suggests asking Yagi about it, Noboru decides to give it a shot. It sure helps that Noboru already had his eyes on Yagi, but his plan doesn’t really go accordingly. To anything because really, he doesn’t have a plan.

Surprisingly Yagi agrees to help Noboru into ... figuring it out, but on his terms. Noboru gets to learn more about himself, but about Yagi too. Their relationship gets complicated, feelings of love and jealousy arise and Noboru is uncertain if there’s going to be something more to it or not.

I liked both of them and it is clear to see they go through a confusing time. Noboru is faced with a completely new situation and all kinds of new feelings and he’s trying to reach for what he wants while keeping his heart safe. Yagi has things he’d rather keep hidden, he too tries to keep his heart safe, but in the end there’s nothing better than honesty.

The art is also so pretty. It’s somehow cleaner than some other mangas, if that makes any sense, and it adds to the cuteness of it. All Night Long is a perfect manga for a quick evening read.

I don't think the description of this manga does it justice at all, the story is much better than that. The story is really about someone unsure about his sexuality and the steps he takes to learn to love. What I really liked about this manga was how accepting the main characters' friends were about being gay. The main character (Noboru) just drops it in conversation and his friends are totally okay with it. Not only that, they support him in his journey of self discovery. I guess this is where the "egging" in the description comes into play, but Noboru's "confession" isn't just about ... wanting to have sex with a man. The divide in their relationship, the divide between "sex friend" and "boyfriend" is very compelling because Yagi has reservations about a committed relationship. Overall, I highly recommend this! The art is really soft and it has a nice ending. I hope my review was helpful!
