Never Hollowed By The Stare

Boku-tachi wa Mada Aoku – Kuroi Tsumuji

“Our grade’s top scorer, an unapproachable guy, only opens up to me. That’s so friggin’ adorable!”
Saegusa is utterly bored of his high school life. Along comes Arochi Tooru, a guy with the brightest hair he’s ever seen, who transfers into his class. It’s an oddity already, for some guy with outrageous looks and a cold attitude, to transfer into a prep school. So he immediately draws the attention of everyone in his class. What’s more, he’s apparently a genius who cinches the top spot in their grade on their class exam.
One day, Saegusa uses a common point of interest to approach Arochi, and the two start to become closer. But once they become friends, Arochi is actually really oblivious and cute! Saegusa just can’t take his eyes off this cutie!

We’re Still in the Spring of Life is your quintessential spring time manga that is as adorable as the cover.

The plot is something we have read about often. Sunshine-y student befriends stoic transfer student (or vice versa) and young love blooms. It follows the two boys as they navigate their evolving relationship while juggling schoolwork and preparing for their university entrance exams. The two boys inspire each other to reach for their dreams.

The vibe is pure and gentle. It has that wonderful kind of wholesomeness that cleanses the soul. I love how the artwork matches that softness.
