I started reading this because the art looked very beautiful and the uke was so moe looking and well that's pretty much it? LOL.
I've only read one chapter (that's all thats been scanlated) but I have to tell you the development HAPPENS TOO FAST!! I seriously have problems with BL in which the characters fall for each other TOO FAST. It's just like uhh no not gonna happen. >_>;;
Also although the art is really moe and cute some of the panels/scenes in here I feel like are not thought out well. And yeah pretty much the only good thing so far in this BL is
...
the art haha :>

Oh my goshhh!!! I wasn't expecting this BL to be so cute but omg it's just so adorable it has really become one of my most favorite BLs to read hahaha.
The story is really rather not all that special. It's basically about this really prideful pretty boy named Taisei, who, during middle school befriended this sort of aloof guy named Okachi, or so he thought. It turns out that Okachi never considered him a friend, and being the prideful pretty boy that he is, Taisei took it really hard. His pride was like practically shattered. So then now that he's in highschool all of a
...
sudden Okachi transferred to their class and he pretty much swears revenge and all that jazz. From there you can pretty much almost predict the ending, because the characters are sort of readable. But I don't mind this at all because it's such an enjoyable read and it has so many cute moments! Omg I'm such a sucker for mushy gushy stuff haha.
As for character, Taisei is as I've said takes a lot of pride in his pretty face. Pride is probably most important to him. He's also a very funny, the kind that likes to goof around and acts all high and mighty like. He doesn't really work hard for anything, and uses his pretty face to manipulate others. He also likes to get worked up over things a lot, for example his friendship with Okachi, and this makes him really adorable in a sense? Lol can't explain it well you'll have to read it to know. Okachi is your average, aloof sorta mysterious, emotionless guy. I swear his face does not have a speck of emotion of any sort of expression. He keeps his face always serious and straight, and actually he's a pretty serious person. He's also really weird that way but I find it pretty cute. Anyways you have these two characters and just from reading the first chapter you can already pretty much figure out what's going to go down haha.
The art style is pretty average I guess? But I really liked the perspectives and angles the mangaka drew from. A lot of times the panels and stuff flowed really well and I really felt I was able to watch the scenes taking place, like wow it was really believable. But yeah it seems that the mangaka has a nice control of expressing her art so that's a plus! The art style gets really adorable really fast.
Well anyways you probably already know that I highly enjoyed this manga. Man a lot of times I was just holding my face and squealing and being all like omggg just just omg I can't I just can't they're too cute. U v U;;;
But yeah I recommend this to you if you haven't read it before! It's only 3 chapters which is not a huge commitment and it's really adorable! :>

Basically the story is about how these 5 boys who are high school freshmen, one day get stuck at school because of a thunder storm. This storm consequently changes all of them into girls. And ever since that day, they have been constantly changing into girls whenever it rains. This creates a lot of complexities with their lives and as usual they all have to keep it a secret from people, but it's not easy. It also creates some misunderstandings and things like that as you'd expect.
To be honest I was a little shocked because the set up was so strange yet not a lot
...
of the characters were extremely "shocked" shocked. It's more like they just immediately accepted it and began living their "double lives." Yes they do experience life as both girls and boys, and they kind of get to experience the best of both worlds, in a sense. But like just think of a completely normal slice of life manga, except half the time the characters live their lives as girls, and that's pretty much what sums up Ame Nochi Hare.
This manga is also really very slow moving. There's not that much development and there was a lot of text to read. I almost stopped reading half way, haha, because there was so much text I started skimming. But seriously it's quite a bit of reading to do so if you don't like mangas that have a lot of text then Ame Nochi Hare may not be for you. Basically you just follow the daily lives of these 5 pretty normal boys, except for the fact that they change into girls. I would recommend to you if you like slice of life mangas, as it's pretty much that.
The art I think is very nice. I personally like it a lot, and I think it flows well with this type of story. Hmm idk not much else to say lol.
Well hopefully things will get interesting later on, because they're supposed to fall in love and all that jazz. It'd be really interesting to see who they're paired up with, but for now at least (I'm on ch 13) they are all still pretty much boyish boys. May update this as I read more :>

Ok apparently this page is no longer solely for Nanadome no Gomenne, which is the oneshot that I originally wrote this review for. Apparently now this page has been turned into a compilation of Lalako's oneshots >_>;;
Well anyways the review is only for the one shot called Nanadome no Gomenne ok T v T
Being such a short read, there's not too much story but basically it follows the life of Tooru, who stutters and is despised by practically everybody except for his brother, from the point of view of his brother Satoru, who doesn't stutter and is basically a normal kid.
Like basically the whole story
...
is spun around Tooru's stuttering. He never goes outside and he's the kind of character that's like, "Oh everyone is against me but it's all my fault so I have to kind of bear with it and be all sad and passive and stuff." Or at least that's how he's portrayed, as a sort of really weak and fragile character who's going to break if you're too rough with him. But at the same time he's really adorable and blushes easily. And then you have Satoru who's all "omigosh my cute brother is so adorable I need to protect him" kind of person. Yeahh idk he's just one of those guys who have brother complexes.
As for the story it's kind of fast but I think well paced for a one shot. You're like seeing all the events that led up to this one thing that is revealed, the 7th secret ooOOooo, that kind of really makes everything go downhill from then on. Like I can't really say much without spoiling it but once it IS revealed then it gets all sad and you're just like KJADFHKAJFHKALHF what is going to happen? And then by the end you will be either really angry or sad, or both lol. And by the time you've clicked the last page ITS ALREADY TOO LATE because it's over and you've just read the whole thing but it kind of ends ambiguously (altho it's still a really rather satisfactory, albeit not really happy, ending) and you'll be like nooo where is the next chapter but it will never come because it's over. D:
But yeah it's a one shot and it's short and you won't be bored while reading it because everything that happens is just like, pretty much important to the whole story and you won't be scrolling through this and being like when is this gonna end because it ends sooner than you want it to unfortunately. :
So all in all I guess this is a really enjoyable read. If you're a fan of like perhaps sad bittersweet endings or maybe even angsty shounen ai then feel free to read this quickie, it's really cute! :>

The story is pretty much almost nonexistant. I mean there is like a "story" but most of the time I feel like the story doesn't matter as much as the emotions behind the characters. It's a lot like, Tsuda notices Endou one day, he becomes infactuated with him, they fall in love, etc, etc.
There's a lot of touching, hugging, huddling, snuggling, kissing, etc, etc. The kiss scenes are very sensual for a shounen-ai, possibly even more so than most yaoi, haha. So yeah the kiss scenes will definitely make you spazz and giggle in delight, if you know what I mean = v =;;
The art
...
is absolutely amazing! I just want to stare at Endou and Tsuda all day long. It's light, and just right for this kind of cute BL :3
Enjoyment is maximum. And I mean the max! O v O This BL made me realize how nice love is, and how being in love makes you feel. Endou-kun no Kansatsu Nikki I think portrays really well the feelings when you are in love. Each panel is just so full of emotion that you're just in awe after you read it. That's how it made me feel! :'D And I remembered why I love BL again after reading this.
So read it! It's really one of the best shounen-ai mangas out there.

I can't believe no one else wrote a review for this yet, so I thought I'd take a stab at it and write one. It took me a while to finally decide to read this, since the synopsis is kind of vague and there was no previous reviews, but after reading it I found it to be really sweet and enjoyable. It felt same feeling as petting a cute little puppy and then going "awwww." Yup, there was definitely a lot of "aww" moments in this story. It's also quite comical I laugh a lot when reading it. This has really turned into one of
...
my favorite shounen-ai manga to read. :>
The story is mostly around Alexi and Rael, two boys from this country in which all the people there is either a receiver or a supplier. It's in interesting twist to the story, because power is exchanged from the lips only, but in their country it's not meant to be romantic or anything. Fortunately for us fangirls, the great thing about the receiver and supplier thing is that if you have too much energy or too little energy then you'll feel faint, which leaves a lot of room for cute bl moments. Well to be honest there's a lot of cute bl moments anyways lol. The kiss scenes are absolutely adorable too.
Like Junjou Romantica there are other pairings, although you wouldn't really call them "couple" couples because it's not like in real bl where everyone's all dramatic and pronouncing their undying love for each other or anything. Also there are some straight pairings as well, which makes it kind of a strange set up.
Everything is sweet, light, and just right for a shounen-ai story. Although the love between partners is only hinted, "actions speak louder than words" sometimes. Although I do say hinted it's more like some of the things (or a lot of the things) they say to each other you know that they don't mean it in a "romantic" way or anything but in my head during these scenes I'll just be like "omg they are sooo obviously in love with each other lol." And this happened quite a lot.
Other than the receiver and supplier twist, everything else is mirrors the real world. The story isn't in a fantasy land or anything. It's like school life and its many troubles if you know what I mean. Oh except there IS royalty with the kings and queens and all that. But this is not even that essential to the whole story.
I really like the art because it's simple and just right. The many kiss scenes made me squirm with delight, though light and for power transferring purposes only. Although sometimes I feel like when the characters are getting emotional or touchy feely they'd just kiss each other on the lips. And a lot of times I'm like waiiiit they didn't even need to transfer power or anything these kisses seem suspiciously romantic. Since for the most part the characters are all around 13-15 there's nothing really beyond kissing and hugging. Because of this it's innocent.
As for enjoyment, I totally felt like a fangirl as I was reading this, because I personally like to read light bl stories, so this one was definitely my cup of tea. If you're looking for true bl and true romance, you won't find it here. Nevertheless, if you are a bl fan I recommend you read this refreshing and cute story, full of fuzzy feelings.
Edit: Okay I just reread the story again and finished it this time, and I must say I almost died of cuteness. OTL Seriously this is a must read if you're into the kind of cute stories that make you go omg my poor heart. Sometimes when I reread old manga I really liked, I'd be disappointed because it wasn't as good as I remembered it to be. But Shinkuu Yuusetsu was just as good as the first time I read it, if not even better! So GO READ IT. >:U

A note* If you don't want to hear me blabbering on about Kuro II and stuff then you'll probably want to skip to the end, where I give a little conclusion of what I've said, basically ;D
Today I watched Kuroshitsuji II. Let me tell you it was messed up, at the beginning. Two words for you. No joke. I don't even know how they thought of all this plot, but it was so weird and strange and random and unreal and not following the original story at all! They practically turned it into a fanservice giving perverted anime that knows no tomorrow, unless if you're
...
a Ciel x Sebby BL fangirl like me, then you'll probably enjoy it. Seriously.
Okay, other than the fanservice and BL, it was nothing, nothing that the general audience would probably appreciate. Everything was random, off the charts, total wacko if I do say so myself. Not something you would want to watch unless you're an insane madman...who's just really perverted...or if you're a devoted Kuro fan. Trust me there were lots of those perverted times, enough that you could tag it as "ecchi."
At least the ending was good. That was probably the best part of Kuroshitsuji! I enjoyed it thoroughly, which is what made me change the score I gave Kuro II.
Be warned that Kuroshitsuji season two can be described as a chaos of horror, gore, pain, lust, and whatever is in between, if there is even indeed anything left at all between those cracks of inhumanity. However at the end, they prove to explain some of the plot they've twisted, so it makes matters better.
So I won't suggest you to watch it. Unless, you are like me, a devoted fan of Kuroshitsuji who just needs to know what happened at the end, when they end it all, or if you are into blood or lust or BL. Watching this has indeed become a pain at the beginning, somewhat, but eventually at the end of the episode you wonder so badly what's going to happen next, what twisted adventure they will have, what kind of gruesome "dance" they will perform next, and what kind of showdown they will have that will devour everything and all the souls of all the people...
Art and sound were definitely out of the ordinary, not in a bad way. The animation was stunning, as was the sound, a very nice quality.
Definitely one of the most craziest animes that I've watched, since they've mixed up the plot so much and created random scenarios with random new characters, but of course, we're all just watching this for the hot butlers and action scenes between them, speaking of which have very brilliant butlers within themselves, like for example the triplet demons.
It blew my mind away, especially in the end, where it ends off nicely, but I won't tell you what happened. You'll just have to watch it yourself if you're interested enough.
Conclusion: Okay, to sum it all up, for a BL fan, you'll probably enjoy this, as they give lots of "hints" of pairings. But if you're not and you don't like BL, then you probably will find this disgusting, so don't watch it. But if you like gore and lust and the like, then you should consider watching this, even more so if you're a Kuro fan. The plot is very twisted and weird, but at least they have awesome art and music, and at the end they even explain everything, finishing off with a nice touch of a sort of "cliff hanger" kind of ending.

This is my first review so I hope it won't turn out like poop.:'(
Story: Ok so this manga is very very short. It's only like 2 books, but it was enjoyable. The story is mainly based on the people that need time and the protagontist, Miu. But later the story heads to a new direction and that's where the real problem begins to take shape. The story plot is just like any other manga. First you have these enjoyable everyday life days. But then there's a even greater problem and you have to solve it and try to make everything right again. But in the
...
end it's never very really the same again.
Art: The art was okay-ish except for some parts of the story it doesn't really look that realistic. Also when there are crying scenes the people look kinda weird, but that's just my opinion.
Character: I felt like the series was too short to leave room for any real character development. Sure there were lots of instances where Miu helps people go through their troubles, but it doesn't define who she really is other than that she likes to help people.
Enjoyment: It wasn't extremely intriguing, although it did have its funny moments occasionally. I would only recommend you read it if you have some spare time, because since it's short you can just finish it quickly, but if you would rather read a "masterpiece" I suggest looking for another manga.
