yume speaks: Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi ni Kike

Mangaka: Abe Miyuki
Status: Complete(26 volumes)

Synopsis/Comments:
This is one of my favorite BL mangas. The art is not as high quality as other mangas nowadays but the story is very entertaining. It's like the BL version of Hana Kimi to a certain degree. It has a lot of interesting characters, its funny and light-hearted but it has depth too.


The story starts off with the clash of Fujishima Takara and Hosaka Kiyomine. From the first day they met, it was apparent that these two would be butting heads quite a lot. To make matters even more exciting, they were both assigned as roommates. Needless to say, sparks flew and the rest they say is history.

It sorta follows the plot of Hana Kimi but for some reason I found the subtle blossoming of love between the two characters in this BL manga more amusing and heartwarming. Takara is such an innocent and he's obviously so clueless about the depth of his feelings for Kiyomine, who is also ignorant of Takara's growing importance in his life even if he is obviously possessive of the other. The beauty of how they grow more aware of how they can only truly be themselves with each other is so amazing. I also like the dynamics of the characters relationship with other characters and I especially like the other BL couple in this series, Okuno Yoshiya and Kashiwagi Reiichi (Kiyomine's twisted and genius cousin). They are so cute together. The way that Kashiwagi is only spoilt with Okuno and the way Okuna spoils him to no end is just so adorable.
Anyways, I think I'm revealing to much of this wonderful manga. Better check it out yourself~ ^_^
