And just like that, he’s gay.
Cute story!

MANGA: Star Collector Vol. 2
Star Collector Vol. 2 – Sophie Schonhammer & Anna Backhausen
Fynn’s favorite activities are skipping class, smoking, and lying around. So when he’s told it’s time to shape up and try doing something else for a change, he has no idea where to even start.
Then, on a nighttime walk around his neighborhood, he sees a stranger with a telescope up on a hill: his name is Niko, and he loves to watch the stars. Intrigued, Flynn decides to find out more about this nerdy boy and what could be so interesting about the night sky that he loves so much.
This is the second and final volume of the Star Collector series.
This is the angstier, more painful sequel to Star Collector Vol. 1 in which there were a lot of fights and unnecessary drama. Nico shutting Fynn out made me want to shake him. Also, Nico’s homophobic dad, do we really need him there?
I liked the fluffier Vol 1 better but Vol. 2 also had many poignant moments, like Nico and Fynn’s visit to Nico’s grandfather or Fynn’s mom who knows.
I love Nico and Fynn. I think they’re cute together and that they finally saw their shooting star but THAT’S IT?!
More please!
P.S.
review of Star Collector Vol. 1 here
I received a copy of Star Collector Vol. 2 from Tokyo Pop via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

3 Stars – not exactly setting my world on fire but I liked it -
MANGA: Spicy & Sugary
Spicy & Sugary – Akira Norikazu
Nagai, a detective at the Metropolitan Police Department, is currently living with his high-school classmate, Kitahara. The extremely stubborn Nagai and the fickle, elusive Kitahara weren’t close friends back in the day, but when they met by chance, Kitahara shamelessly invited himself to go live with Nagai saying that he got chased out by his roommate. Although he was messy, Kitahara was actually good at cooking and acting all spoiled, so he was kind of both like a bride and a pet. Nagai felt unexpectedly comfortably living with him, but Kitahara suddenly announced that he was getting back together with his ex and put an end to their cohabitation.
However, it seems that Kitahara has many more secrets...
Spicy & Sugary: I don’t trust Kitahara. He lies so effortlessly.
Nagai might be conservative and stubborn but he’s a good guy through and through. I think he deserves better.
A gay-for-you, opposite attracts romance that I’m not sure will last.
Spicy & Sugary …: smutty nonsense I
Defeat: could have been cute but devolved into smutty nonsense II
