Oct. 12th, 2005 06:35 pmOk, let's kick things off.
First of all, I have to recommend Kusatta Kyoushi no Houteishiki.
Reasons for recommendation:
1. ...it is not basically a pwp (it better not be with 10 volumes...can you imagine 10 volumes of just random smexing?)
2. While the artwork isn't the prettiest thing you'll ever see, it's well drawn and pretty cute.
3. It has humour!!!
4. The story follows the development of relationships of 3 couples (the two male/male couples much more then the one het couple) over about 8 years in a somewhat beleiveable way (...there is very few of these stories that could ACTUALLY be labelled realistic so it gets bonus points on the attempt)
5. There is role reversal of the power in the relationship.
Ok...5 should be more than enough, but if not I will entice you with this pic that just amuses me too much, under the cut.
( Sparkly Ghei Boy )
Secondly, I have to say I absolutely adore Dragon's Voice.
It's published by Tokyo Pop and it's just too good to pass up.
It's the story of a boy whose voice is basically labelled a toad's voice, as he joins an already established band as they attempt to reach true stardom.
Reasons for recommending:
1. Pretty boys.
2. The very very pretty boys.
3. The story is cute and fun, and while not the most indepth story (and basically pretty unbelievable)it has its fair share of interesting story points.
4. It's entiely too amusing.
5. The main character is full of snark!!!
Hope you enjoy them as much as me.
