The first story was wishy-washy and the characters were too. It wasn't very romantic or interesting.
The art was nice and the story wasn't repulsively boring so I wouldn't say I regret reading.
Didn't really enjoy the second story but for some it was a tiny masterpiece.
Didn't read the rest.
Wouldn't pass it on.

story 1: transvestite != transsexual, *sigh*, but one can't automatically blame the mangaka for that conflation because japanese itself is at fault here; the words used in the raw: ニューハーフ (new half) can mean either transvestite or transsexual; オカマ (okama) means male transvestite or effeminate man. i gather nagi's not a transsexual, since in one of his inner dialogues he reveals
what bothers me about this story is that it only touches on that central issue superficially, and instead a big deal is made of having sex at the perfect time, *rolls eyes*. yeah, right. i also didn't get much of a sense of kaji as a person; he just seemed to be a foil for nagi to react against. and nagi turns into an egotistical little whiner.
boku no hatsukoi ni tsuite is a small gem of a story reminding me that it's better not to let fear rule my actions, because it only leads to regrets. it made me sad, though. my rating reflects mainly that this is a much, much better story than the first and ones.
wish on a star is sweet; nothing special but at least no permanent regrets, *wry grin*.

that he doesn't want to change his sex because he feels he is in the wrong body; he wants to do it because then he'd have a "right" to love men, and an easier time at being accepted by a male lover.
considering how japan treats homosexuality, that's not as unrealistic as it might seem.what bothers me about this story is that it only touches on that central issue superficially, and instead a big deal is made of having sex at the perfect time, *rolls eyes*. yeah, right. i also didn't get much of a sense of kaji as a person; he just seemed to be a foil for nagi to react against. and nagi turns into an egotistical little whiner.

As others have mentioned, this isn't the best manga by Takanaga Hinako, but it's still fairly cute. There was some mistakes in the first story though, concerning facts about painting and croquis. Croquis is when a NUDE model make several short poses that are drawn quickly (range from few seconds to about 15 minuts), and normally you don't have time to use acrylic or oil paint to illustrate these poses, you'd use watercolor, coal, ink, pencils and the likes. If the model poses for longer time, it is just a normal model study. Ah, croquis means 'sketch' in french. Ah, and you normally don't have the subject you're painting placed to your far left or right, since that'd kill your neck if you had to look that way all the time. Especially if you BUY a model for yourself. Ah, these silly things just irritate me.
Another thing that irritates me is Nagi's obsession with getting
The two short stories about first love (Boku no Shôkoi ni Tsuite) are really cute. I enjoyed them very much. Seems that others enjoyed these ones too.
The last story was a bit meek.
Well, if you're in the same situation as me (read too much yaoi, hence lacking new stuff to read), it's worth reading... Once.

fake boobs.
Even though he is so young. Normally you'd think about that very thoroughly and be really determined when you'd made your decision, but Nagi changed his mind just as Kaji said "oh, but you're pretty enough without them." GOD!

If I remember it right, the uke was supposed to be a transsexual.
But when the seme confessed his love and all, the uke stopped being transsexual.What the hell?
Didn't the mangaka inform herself about Transsexuality

Boku no Hatsukoi ni Tsuite is probably the most frustrating story I have ever read. It's realism and bittersweet plot make it a brilliant read but I can't help but want it to continue, even though I know that continuing it would turn it into another generic BL.
As for the other two stories, well, I'll probably forget all about both of them by tomorrow. The first one dealt with a theme rarely seen in yaoi but I feel that the mangaka didn't make the most of it, it was neither funny nor dramatic and its characters were very forgettable. Wish on a Star was the kind of manga that as you read it you feel as if you've read it before even though you haven't. Didn't like it, didn't hate it.

I'll be blunt and admit that this isn't one of my favorites from Takanaga Hinako. The main story with Nagi and Kaji didn't have enough conflicts, development, or drama to make it interesting, and I even find Nagi to be too whiny for my liking most of the time. Overall, it's just another cute but extremely forgettable BL romance.
However, the reason why I'm giving this a higher rating is because I really like the other story in it called 'Boku no Koi ni Tsuite' (About My First Love). I find this story much more memorable with its mix of angst and character perspective. It has two parts and is definitely a much better read than the main story.
