I'm always in love with Nojiko's art and waiting for something new. And finally, a new completed one is out. "Kurayami ni Strobe"
To be honest when acmedan first posted this, i thought it would be just oneshot because they said so. But after i read it, i thought it wasn't finished yet and then, the 2nd chapter was out.
Kurayami ni Strobe tells you about Arata and Shoutarou. Arata loves to take pictures of boys in his highschool and get the benefit by selling them to the girls. Since junior highschool his "lens" always landed on Shoutarou but he just stayed in the closet until

saw that there werent many reviews for this so thought i might help people out!
the story is only 5 chps + 6 extras that are small 4-komas, side story of the other friends, and other developing relationship moments of sawa x arata. very easy quick read with each chp being 30-40 pages. the art is what drew me in first ;) the hand-drawn art style is really natural and light, everyone has a different character design -no same face syndrome. the photography film unraveling with plot points, the contrast of light and dark -very nice metaphor! story wise and character development -very wholesome! the author ...
