Synopsis

Looks matter—that is what Yoshio Yoshida knows best. Due to his almond-shaped eyes, short height, and a scar on his face, Yoshida cannot get a girlfriend. Furthermore, all the girls at his school resent him because of his close relationship with Takahiko Satou—Yoshida's handsome, popular, and tall classmate. In reality, Yoshida does not understand why Satou is so attached to him, as they have nothing in common and barely know each other.

Even so, one of Satou's fans tricks Yoshida into finding out who Satou considers his "favorite"—the only person he will ever date. However, instead of uncovering the truth, Yoshida is caught off guard when Satou kisses him. The next day, the confused Yoshida suddenly remembers who Satou is: his gloomy and overweight elementary school classmate whom he used to protect from bullies.

Immediately afterward, Satou shows his true colors as a sadistic person and confesses his love for Yoshida. But being Satou's "favorite" might bring only more trouble to Yoshida's already complicated life.

Preliminary (45/? eps)
When discussing yaoi as a genre, the discussion about painfully cringe, stereotypical, and harmful cliches is bound to come up. In the usual 2000s yaoi magazine, you'd find the regular overdone story of a plain guy being pestered (sometimes even raped) by a sadistic hottie for whom he later developed feelings, with a bunch of one-dimensional side characters to go with that also happened to get in a gay relationship while reprising the worst of toxic relationship tropes. His Favorite is, however, the prodigal case of such a story that received enough love to last over a decade and a half and ended up not ...

His Favorite will forever leave a lasting impact on me. Not for its tear-jerking plots or artistic views, but simply in how much enjoyment the author brings out from the reader.

Story: 9/10
As a slice-of-life manga, don't expect too much. Half the "story" is watching the characters drive the plot themselves, which, past hindsight, is a lot more difficult to do than others give credit for. There has yet to be any giant arcs longer than Satou's past which is a shame because I would like to see the mangaka go all out like that again. They have a unique sense of humor that understands when ...

I LOVE THIS MANGA.

do I have to say anything else? Lol. I have fallen in love with the series at first read. This really is one of the best SHOUNEN AI I have read so far. And it didn't disappoint the fangirl inside of me.

I screamed and laugh at every page and chapter of this manga.

Yoshida and Satou are an interesting couple and you would love them and their story.

So I highly recommend this series to those shounen ai/yaoi fans that likes to read a new and refreshing manga. :)
