Koi ga Bokura wo Yurusu Hani

Description

A story about two college friends - both of whom have girlfriends - who fall in love and embark on a relationship that they swear will never go beyond the sexual (as the romantic part belongs to their girlfriends alone)... But which inevitably ends up being much more complicated than that and becomes subject to the scrutiny of all those involved.

You have to be older to understand

I admired this manga for the fact that it conveys human interactions so well. I could find myself reacting in the same ways and being diabolical like the characters and reverse diabolical and skeptical, were I faced with tricky people. It is the first psychological Ive read that tries to analyse the other parties in a romance setting.

I tried reading this years ago, but dropped it. It must have been too hard to follow. Judging from how stupid I am from when I was younger, it would be very hard to predict what other people are thinking, their complex feelings, why they think/feel so, and manipulate them knowing this.

This manga was a bit too dramatic/unrealistic, so it doesn't get a 10.
But guess what? The first few chapters had genuine original humour.. Before it got dramatic.

I totally agree with CuthienSilmeriel, that it gets "better with age", as I have read this at least thrice and I bet that in future I will go back to this jewel again. I remeber what I felt when I read it first, I couln't even finish this. [spoiler] I was so disgusted and couldn't comprehend how the guys could keep making out and telling "I love you" to each other while going out openly with their girlfriends; even if the girlfriends looked cool about it and tried to "kept them" together and called their boyfriend fools and etc... I just hated cheating and couldn't appreciate that desire and love can be seperated and doesn't have to be together...It was just so fucked up that I couldn't appreciate anything...[spoiler]

But I came across this manga again few years later and decided to give it a try, and I am so glad that I did, because this manga is not something you would like to miss out.

Now being more mature and have recognize what deep dark and twisted feelings are I started to see the feelings, the reasoning behind all of character's actions and I must say that such pure feelings of love and self-sacrifice don't come everyday. It was so beautiful that it made me cried and depressed. :D Even if it seemed fucked up, but that may be only, because we live in such a pathetic and closed-minded society. They were not doing anything morally wrong, just exploring the barriers of love and desire in their own way.

Now, that I read it for the third time, I will only say this...Go an read it yourself.. You don't know what you are missing out.

Beautiful Feelings

by dreamerlisa

Rating: 9.5 / 10.0

This is a story with truly beautiful feelings, regardless of it being yaoi, I'm so touched by how the two main characters feel for each other. In the end, a relationship is always about what you feel.. this is Motoni sensei's best work, and probably the best yaoi I've ever read

It's basically a story of a bunch of sex friends who are (or rather, think they are) happy with their casual relationships. If focuses on two bisexual guys who are sleeping with each other. Each of them has a 'girlfriend,' and they're chill about what their bf's are doing together. The rest of it's all crazy drama as they all try to figure out what they really want out of relationships. [Hint: Maybe "going casual" isn't the best sort of relationship after all]

I rated it highly because it feels very real. It's like a soap opera. And when done right, that sort of thing can be interesting, as in this case. The characters have to travel a lot way and work through lots of fights and arguments and "acting out" to settle things.

If you want a nice, rosy story about sweet lovin' this isn't it. DON'T READ THIS STORY IF YOU LIKE PERFECT CHARACTERS. They are REAL characters. The kinds that make you want to shake them and slap them over the head. And there be lots of yellin' and slappin' and hurt feelings in here.

And if you only like "pure yaoi" (a.k.a. "no naked women") then you should probably steer clear too. Like I said, the guys are bi, they have their bedroom times with their gfs.

Notes to other reviews: Out of fan-translations I've seen, this is nowhere near the worst. Besides, what do you expect from unofficial translations you didn't pay a cent for?

And for the review about the abortion: yeah, the guy's a jerk; these are regular messed-up characters, and any way, you must not have read very far because SPOILER the gf lied about being pregnant so yeah, like I said...

I'm lost

I really don't understand why this manga has such a high rating. The translation is bad and made me unable to enjoy it and follow the plot. Maybe it is unfair to rate it low because this is not the mangaka's fault, but the translator's. However, can't read Japanese so I'm stuck with the scanlated version, which in my opinion sucks.

I kind of really liked it but ended up deleting it because the translations sucked. It was very interesting though, and I loved the art, but the grammar brought a lone, solitary tear to my eye... ~_T

Spoiling TL

by Lillian

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

Is it just me or is the wording of the TL by Nakama quite awkward? I had problems to follow the flow. Weird english. Took a lot of my entertainment. The quality of the scanlation, except the wording, is great though.

I couldn't sympathize with the characters for over 2 volumes, mainly because I didn't understand what they wanted most of the time - one sentence was contradicting the next or had nothing to do with the situation. I think I spent more time to figure out things with the TL than with the story and characters development. ;_; Well good it has pictures.

The pairs were weird.
Both men had girlfriends, ok there's nothing wrong with being bi, but those two girls initially got them together (as lovers) and plotted most their intimate meetings and set up situations for them to be together. One girl (Miku) even got mad when her boyfriend didn't have sex with the other guy - and gets mad when they're too close - um... okay... very weird. The other woman doesn't seem to have any use for her bf but sex and plotting.
I can't comprehend such weird behavior and the two guys had a weird relationship too which I couldn't really understand. That's another point why I didn't sympathize with any char there.

Midway volume 3 it all changed. Many things made sense because they started to explain certain aspects of their behavior. It was a real enlightenment and changed my opinion of the manga (rated it 6 till midway vol 2). The entire story was like a complex plot... which didn't even work out since it was seen through, luckily xD But was very interesting I must say. (No this is no spoiler, because when you get to the point when you notice it you'll be already half way through vol 3)
If just the TL wasn't so crappy I'd have enjoyed it much sooner :S

Therapy, seriously... -___-

Is a bit of a dysfunctional mess, actually a lot.....In my opinion they all need psychological help, and their morals are not the most commonly seen around, which for the average person would make reading this manga a little frustrating and confusing. It was hard to read at the beginning and I think some things are lost in translation, which takes away quite a lot and makes it confusing for the reader. Koi and Ai, I'm still racking my brains trying to get complete understanding of the meaning(I've Googled a lot) I guess I need a better knowledge of Japanese to grasp the concept better and maybe the English language doesn't have appropriate terms for those words to be translated properly.

If you feel like smacking and kicking the character a bit while reading, it is an understandable feeling D: I wanted to beat the crap out of them a lot(pardon my French) They lacked a lot in the IQ area, or maybe in common sense? I'm just glad I finished reading it and the ending wasn't tragic, if the mangaka had killed someone off I would have definitely had meltdown -_- I feel a bit drained, but I guess there might be people out there that go through similar circumstances?? I hope not 🙁 I'm a fan of monogamous relationships so I was uncomfortable for most(all) of the manga. Gave it a five 'cause, not sure really. But if you want to read a different kind of YAOI manga then try this one. Happy Reading!!

P.S. For some reason I always end up disliking the women in YAOI mangas -_- they are just....So what if they are both men? butt out D: Love is all you need go find a straight guy <3
