Boku wa Kimi no Tori ni Naritai

Description

Koyama Kei lost his mother when he was still in elementary school and never connected again with his distant, workaholic father. The only real light in his home life is his sister Moe: a bright college student who obviously adores him. But Kei has intimacy issues that even his sister can't pick up on.

At 15 years old, Kei's never been in love, but he has sex with anyone who shows him interest. While he's in someone else's arms, he can forget the void in his own life.

One day in late spring, Koyama discovers what's missing: a slightly spacey med-student named Fujii. Unfortunately, Fujii is his sister's boyfriend...

Really enjoyable and unique!

by FeyPhantom

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

Unique in that the plot dealt with a love triangle in such a real way - where everyone had their own reasons and relationships with the other two and none of them wanted to hurt anyone else.

Enjoyable in that the plot was really solid, as well as the art, and the overall sense of the seasons passing and life changing made the whole story come full circle and feel like it was complete even if new relationships were just starting by the end of it.

The only issue I wish had been addressed was a little more on why Kei turned to sex as a means of escape. There was very little in his life that seemed to support that behaviour. It seemed like there had to be some kind of story behind his first time to lead him to believe that was his best chance at feeling a connection to other people. But otherwise, I don't think the first thought to come to most kids is "I feel lonely so I should have gay sex with someone." Since that aspect of his character was so important to the story, I would have liked if it was addressed at least a little.

As for the sister, I actually liked her as a character in this story. I thought she played her role quite well. For those who thought she was a bad sister and really selfish, please read on.

I want to point out that at the end, Moe admitted to knowing that Kei liked her boyfriend for a long time. So, it's very probable a lot of her actions were out of jealousy later on.

At the beginning, Moe was very open to Kei about her relationship and they got on very well. She even invited Kei out with her and her boyfriend to hang out and treat Kei. Honestly, she was a sweet older sister.

At the festival, she was already starting to feel left out and probably had already started to realize Kei's feelings. She started to act more selfishly and after that, she didn't want Kei and Fujii spending much time together anymore.

When she asked Kei to give up his 'date' with Fujii so she could spend the time with Fujii, part of it was probably out of wanting to monopolize Fujii and keep him away from Kei, more than actually wanting to spend the time with Fujii. Kei called her on this saying that she was the one not making the effort to spend time with Fujii but instead was just trying to take his time instead.

Afterwards, she knew something was up with Kei - Fujii kept bringing it up every time they met up - but instead she was desperately trying to ignore Kei's situation and make Fujii focus on her instead. By this point, she clearly was acting out of a completely different emotion than that of the elder sibling persona she'd had at the beginning of the story. Which leads me to believe it was jealousy with the way it had changed over the course of the story and the fact that she knew (by the end anyways) that both Kei and Fujii enjoyed each other's company more than hers.
So try not to hate her too much, her character delicately changes over the course of the story, and if anything, take consolation in knowing that she admitted to being selfish in her relationship with Fujii and that she, too, will grow from her experiences.

My first yaoi!

Rating: N/A

This was the story that introduced me to the world of yaoi and after sometime I've finally returned to give my review of this story.

I love the development between Kei and Fujii. They're comfortable around each other and they get along great and I found that so damn sweet. Fujii is thoughtful and kind and even when he started developing some obvious attraction for Kei he was still loyal to Moe.

Kei is also selfless and he's not moron and he's content with keeping a pure love. He is one of the only ukes in the yaoi world that I sympathize with. And I just love him so much.
I also liked Moe even though she was an obstacle and I love the uncle too>_<

It was just a wonderful story, but damn I wish there was at least an omake for it. Oh well, the mangakas outdid themselves with this one. One of the few that I actually like by HK. It's perfect, has everything you need in a yaoi 😉 Rather than tragedy, as some manga sites like to use, it was just a bit of angst. The kind that made your heart constrict a bit at all the pain Kei was going through.

Anywho, perfect. 10/10

Great Potential for A Better Story, But Good As Is

by MightyMaeve

The uncle! WOW! The story would have been much more punchy and intriguing with more of his involvement. He was confident, quirky and unique.

Moe and Kei, the brother and sister, had the most interesting relationship. Homerun-sensei did a fascinating study on a family that dearly loves one another even as their hearts can be broken by this same family.

I liked the way the step-mother was portrayed. It was nice for a change to see a loving, kind step-parent, who truly seemed to care about her step-children.

The character of Fujii needed more time or more succinctly chosen scenes of action and words that would pull the reader in to him. He felt flat to me. I only started to get behind a little feeling for him near the end when he started to come to realization of where his focus was...

Homerun-Sensei has a great way of balancing desperately sad, loving and completely relate-able from all character's perspectives within a single scene.

The ending was a little weak because it was average. The little clip, 'Tragedy', made up for it because it was so humorous! And at it's centre: Rintaru, of course!

In the afterwards, the mangaka, mentions how she wanted the story to go, but was persuaded otherwise from her editor; She should have followed her instincts. The artist knows! She mentions that she wanted to make it a period piece, early 20th century. And she wanted to make it a bit more bitter sweet, rather than happy-happy. I think maybe a halfway point would have been good.

The art was beautiful: Lush, big eyes. Expressive faces. Lively action. Interesting angles.

Scanlation, done by Nakama, Doki Doki and Smexy Batards, was smooth and unnoticeable - goal achieved! The focus was the story and the art, not the editing, translating and scanning!

Boys love the way it should be!

by Namiya

This is an almost perfect boys love manga, the way it just should be.
Of course, if you look for more sexy action or just porn then you should look elsewhere, but
if you are in it for a good story and great characters then this is for you!

The plot is well thought out and nicely paced so it leaves you wanting to know more and unable to put the book away. It's a romantic story with so much heart tearing drama it makes you want to cry!
The characters are all very lovable and not too over the top.
Kei, the protagonist is someone you can really feel for, he has a hard past and even though he sleeps around he's not a unlikable character at all. He puts his sister before himself and doesn't dare acting selfishly just because he fell for her boyfriend...
Fujii is a wonderful guy and he acts the way a lot of people would in this, instead of just throwing the sister away and banging the younger brother right away like a lot of other yaoi would put it.

This is really something to enjoy and feel sad over, but don't worry, there's a happy end~ (I was actually worried there wouldn't be a happy end at times, lol)

Recommended to absolutely everyone!

Very good read

by Sasageru

Intitially i was worried this would be depressing and angsty, because rarely do things go well when it involved a siblings partner, but i was pleasantly surprised. There are angsty moments but they're not 'in your face' as such, so you dont get dragged down by them, also the personalities of the characters, even during tough times in the story give it a bright edge, so you dont sink into a sense of depression. And, of course, alls well that ends well 😀 i rather liked this. It has realistic aspects as well as the general drama you come to expect in manga. It was entertaining and interesting. Well worth a read!

Oh god i laughed at the end when they both grope Rentarou in his sleep and then he locks himself in the cupboard snicker His own fault for getting between them though >:D

It would have been nice if the story was more longer. But the mangaka really work out to make characters that are well developped. Although fuji-san is a bit too good to be real ^_^.

But it's not bad that at time to time the hero's happiness is not too hard to reach, don't you think so ? A real pleasure to read !!

I have to add that the drawing is really really nice 🙂

the best one so far. Well-developed characters and this story actually has a much, much deeper plot then usually seen. Add beautiful artwork and see how a perfect manga is brought to life.

For some reason, I suppose because the extra chapter is entitled Tragedy, I was kind of expecting this to lead up towards an unhappy ending. I was pleasantly surprised when it didn't. The main character, as everyone else has noted previously, was extremely well-developed, more so than you often see in yaoi. The artwork is lovely too, I recommend it.
