His Favorite has really grown on me. At first, I can't say I was a fan of either the story or the artwork. Yoshida was drawn so crazy as to be a bit offputting (especially in a genre like yaoi, which is typically populated by beautiful male characters). But the more I read, the more I really like it. It's fun, a bit zany, and somehow the lack of romantic interaction of the leads (read: m/m lust) doesn't bother.Story: Nishida is still after Yoshida - much to Sato's annoyance. But when a transfer student appears and is completely at a loss with Yoshida, it becomes clear fast that the new student is connected to Nishida in some way. Sato, meanwhile, is tired of the games and ready to confess to the school that he and Yoshida are in a relationship. Will the girls explode when they find out?Volume 7 is a bit of a turning point in Yoshida and Sato's relationship in that they can finally come out to everyone. The results are surprising - but very in keeping with Tanaka's zany series. I liked that this volume focuses on Sato and Yoshida only - I haven't found the side characters, as unique as they are, to be nearly as interesting. The humor, as always, put a smile on my face and I chuckled out loud when reading. This volume was particularly amusing.His Favorite is a breathe of fresh air in the oh-so-serious yaoi/shounen ai genre. I look forward to every volume release. Reviewed from an ARC.
After seven volumes, the series is still entertaining. In this volume, Yoshida and Sato's relationships takes the next step. How it unravels and leads is somewhat predictable based on the story progression, but again still entertaining. A short portion of the first part focuses on Makimura and his pursuit to desperately find a girlfriend [any girl] to avoid staying a virgin forever. This results in Yoshida being self-conscious, thinking of the possibility of having a girlfriend and semi regretting rejecting the first girl to ask him out [unknowing to him that it was narcissistic Murakami cross dressing as a girl]. Enter Murakami with a bruised ego who isn't quite over being rejected by Yoshida and tries to seduce him once again.The rest of the story focuses on Nishida, Sato and Yoshida love triangle, with the entrance of new character Azuma, Nishida's childhood friend, to join in the fray turning the triangle into a square...kind of with Azuma-> Nishida -> Yosida Sato. Azuma more or less functions as consolation for Nishida. Sato's and Yoshida's relationship finally becomes publicly known, however it doesn't change much and the girls end up putting even more heat on Yoshida.The art is still fitting, cute, appropriate and funny. Storywise, it's still endearing. This volume though would of been a good wrapping point, but it's still ongoing. Then again, they could still expand on AzumaxNishida and more could enter the fray [like the boy that liked Sato when he was at the camp], due to the nature of the manga.Loved the volume. If you've read up until this point in the manga highly suggesting picking up, and if you've never read the manga, highly suggest starting from the beginning. It's more BL then yaoi and one of the more distinct BL titles that separates itself with its storyline, art and character from the typical BL/yaoi manga.
Yes another fantastic volume of the adventures of Awkward Yoshida and his Sato. I laughed immensely through it. Though the only disappointing thing was no real romance or touching etc beyond the first scene. However, the comedy and Sato sharing his feelings for the volume made it great. I love how Yoshida also enjoys Sato at the end of the day even when confronted with say Nishida.The new character is a great touch to the series and bound to provide some fun recurring moments I bet. I also loved the final two chapters, won't spoil it but it is always great seeing the school to react to Sato and Yoshida.Color insert at the start is nice.
Nishida should be with Yamanaka. Torachin should be with Azuma. Sato and Yoshida are just the cutest couple ever. That's just my opinion, keep doing what you're doing. These books are good, five stars. :) Perfect dialogue, good story, and perfect amount of friendly irritation.
I read the volume in a yaoi reading website, but I really wanted to support the artist and so I bought it!It's a nice addition to my collection of manga! I love to just go back and read this latest chapter and just have warm fuzzy feelings that all yaoi fangirls get when their OTP is so darn adorable!Very light and the shipping was fast! I like the feel of opening a manga and smelling the pages..Weird right?Overall, it's a very cute shonen-ai manga, and you should get all of the volumes!
I've loved this book since volume one. The way it's doesn't rub in your face how in love the characters are and such and how the humour far outweighs the romance sometimes. The art style is also pretty interesting-this is the first time I haven't seen a "gorgeous" uke. It'd be cool if there was a reversal too with an ugly seme and super cute uke but for now I'll take what I can get. This story is so cute and funny so I recommend it to anyone who's tired of the same old same old with yaoi or anyone who like yaoi in general.
