    Shoujo C – Hideyoshico

    I’m nothing special, but Koizumi-kun is a very special guy whose looks and personality are seriously those of an angel. He’s our idol. This popular pair was introduced in “High School Lullaby" (Gesu BL)

    These two at it again. I love the change in POV. Make this a series already please!

    Ringo ni Hachimitsu – Hideyoshico

    Chapter 1-2 & extra

    1- The blue parasol on the beach
    2- Things like love and passion

    A story about university student Matsuda Natsuki and his thoughts about his life; about how he slowly began to withdraw himself from people and eventually ended up mostly alone.

    The first chapter is second chronologically. In chapter one, Natsuki and Komano are already a couple. Chapter two is the story of how they met.

    Kare no Barairo no Jinsei is a sequel of these two chapters

    Chapters 3-4 & 5

    3- The summer of the end of the world and its shape
    4- The middle part
    5- The last part

    A guy go to visit an old classmate to confess his love, stating as it will soon be the end of the world, he doesn’t want to have any regrets? The other one couldn’t care less about him or is it…

    Hideyoshico is one of my favorite mangaka and she does the opposite attracts style really well. I enjoyed the first story more as the couple had better chemistry.

    MANGA: Kanemochi-kun to Binbou-kun

    November 16, 2016 / No Comments

    Kanemochi-kun to Binbou-kun  – Hideyoshico

    Meiji Haruhito (Kanemochi-kun/the rich boy) just can’t understand Misaki (Binbou-kun/the poor boy), but quickly falls for him anyway. However, Haruhito’s love life is under threat. Not from a cute girl or ex-lover, but from his own grandfather. The boys’ grandfathers knew each other when they were young and Haruhito’s grandpa is delighted when he meets Misaki, who looks and acts like his late friend and (unrequited) love. from shinkeikaku.

    Not gonna lie but the moments with the grandfather made me feel slightly queasy. I guess they were meant to be sweet but I don’t really like huge age gaps. I wish the author focused more on the actual couple but this one is for fans of the author.

    September 17, 2014 / No Comments

    Ikemen-kun to Saenai-kun – Hideyoshico

    Kentarou is a plain, nondescript college student who has never had a girlfriend or any friends. After getting hit on the head by a wayward ball, he begins to notice that there are increasingly long periods of time in which he cannot remember what he was doing. One afternoon, he regains consciousness in an apartment he’d never been to before – and sitting next to him is a young man who then tells him “You’re being possessed by the spirit of my dead girlfriend”…

    A little slow and a little confusing with a somewhat open-ended ending but still wonderful, fluffy and dramatic. Wishing for more stories from this author

    MANGA: Negative-kun to Positive-kun

    September 7, 2014 / No Comments

    Negative-kun to Positive-kun – Hideyoshico

    Extremely negative Fujiwara-kun and overly positive Tachibana-kun are… a couple. While eating lunch hand-in-hand, they have their dates. In the midst of a bustling routine, this duo’s carefree tale of love occurs–a small part of which is shared in this book. 

    This is one great example of my kind of BL manga. It’s a short and simple story full of sweet and fluffy moments without anything explicit. I hope the author would make a sequel for this.
