Men's Kou

Description

In a high school nicknamed Alcatraz, how's a guy supposed to find love?

Remote, lonely and surrounded by the ocean. This isn't Alcatraz we're talking about--it's Seiho Boys' High School, where the student body is rife with sexually frustrated hunks! How can these young men get girlfriends when they're stuck in the middle of nowhere? These are the stories of the students of Seiho High and the trouble they get into as they awkwardly pursue all girls who cross their paths.

When a pretty girl shows up on campus, the whole school is sent into a frenzy. It's not often these sheltered youths get a real living and breathing female within their midst. The boys want to help her out but are they in way over their heads?

ugh

The male lead is really pathetic and forgives his girlfriend quasi-cheating with his friend, like immediately. He's like a dog and she barely even seems to care for him whatsoever. In the end she abandons him, and his friend still keeps his girlfriend.

Refreshing

It's like shoujo from the male point of view! The character's who are unique but not weird and all have a deeper reason for their actions that make them not shallow and relatable. The art is good and so is the plot as well as the characters. I think it's a well-rounded manga and is quite refreshing to read. The way the story is told doesn't feel very emotional though and it didn't give me any strong feels.

Just OK

I liked how it doesn't just focus on one couple, but involves the love/romances of several characters. But I was still bored because it seemed very shallow and lacked depth as a true romance should have. Although the relationship between Makki and Erica may show some promise.

Surprisingly Impressive

by yongzhi93

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

Art is good and clean but the expressions don't seem very lifelike or realistic. The smiles of the guys seem rather out-of-place sometimes... can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's cause guys don't really smile like that.

I was actually expecting a standard loads-of-guys shoujo, possibly reverse-harem. And when I began reading, I thought to myself: aha, I was right. This impression lasted until the end of Maki's recount of Erica - the storytelling literally sent a chill down my back and made me rather pensive. This happens to me only when I read good, evocative literature (not just manga). It was cliche, but the presentation was powerful, and it felt very, very real.

So I recommend it if you want to be suitably impressed or if you're just out to look out for manga with lots of guys. I am tentatively giving this manga a high score in hopes that the author can continue pulling out both heartwarming and chilling emotions from me.

Mangaka does not think like a boy

by BimboSilly

Rating: N/A

...this is a manga about how a girl thinks a boy's dorm could be like...No straight boy would fawn upon the bare chest of another man....its like a straight girl would completely be immune to the bounciness of her friend's breast..i like mangaka's who put a boy's POV in a shoujo..but VERY few can actually make it believable...its funny, but plots are cliched....

the non-blood related step sister as a secret love, the school nurse, a single gay in a boy's school- i m sure ths what girls are looking for-signs of BL, girl bullying -does that even happen? the "I will stay away from you so ppl dont hate you because of me", and the choices of women are between nasty personality - aka natural,should-fall-in-love-with and cutesy-cunning- the wrong choice

another thing i have realised- guys DO NOT go into girl fights-worst part they tend either not take sides even if a friend is involved and sometimes support the "wrong-doer"....i know this sounds prejudiced...but first hand experience

Seriously this is jaw-droppingly good. I didn't know shoujo got this good! Its funny and very uniquely and well drawn. Its the plot and the character design that makes it so great though. It takes cliches like step siblings falling for each other or the prickly girl and the cute happy-go-lucky, popular guy and it adds a lot of wisdom and a twist of reality to them. The main characters are drawn and written with kindness and given a complexity and humanity that is rare for shoujo heroes. Its a pleasure to read. Damn shame the next 6 volumes haven't been scanlated - the story was just getting started!

Not being scanlted/translated nymore

I am a dude who used to go to an all boys skul though it wasn't as isolated as this so i can sympathise. Thank good there is no hints of yaoi or boy love in here. Thank god. This manga is pretty realistic in terms of the fact that not everything will have a good/happy ending and that life can be harsh. The character Maki is awesome and I really love his character. It can get sad at times but that just makes this manga even better. Art is beautiful and honestly chapter 6 my god din't expect that at all. The humour is pretty good also. Am sad that this manga isn't being scanlated anymore, i hope it gets picked up by someone.

Oh my gosh. so funny, and i don't even mind that it wasn't yaoi. the bl tints were all there, mm. "Wow, your friend's really cute...a lot of guys must like him!" not the the thing you want girls you're hitting on to say.

Exceed my expectation

Yaoi or BL in general is probably not my cup of tea. I double check this series several times to make sure there is not BL here cuz there is so many suspect for BL in this manga plot and art. Ok, this is not shounen-ai, so let's give this manga a try since shoujo told from guy's perspective is pretty rare.

I have read comedy manga about all girl school and experience the pityfull life in all guy dorm so I think this will a LOL manga about all boy school. Yeah, some beginning chapters give me exactly what I expected.
But the more I read this manga, the more I realize that I was so wrong. This is not a manga just read for fun. This is a colection of the pieces of life, some of them is funny, some of them is sad, but in either way, they are really touching. There are many short stories that can make an excellent manga by itself.

Give it try, whatever type of reader you are, you will love it.
