Koisuru Boukun

Description

Being in love with your straight senpai isn't easy, but being in love with your straight, homophobic, and tyrannical senpai can be hell! And that's something Tetsuhiro Morinaga can relate to... especially now that he's had a taste of the forbidden fruit!

Features the same homophobic brother from Challengers, but this time as the main character!

Contains an extra story called Bokutachi no Shippai in v.5 featuring Masaki and Morinaga's big brother Kunihiro.

Takanaga Hinako confirmed on her Twitter account that her manga Koisuru Boukun will resume serialization in the February's 2015 issue of Kaiohsha's Gush magazine.

MY FAVE MANGA

by SurikaRose

Rating: N/A

I for one adore this series, the art is amazing, the characters are fascinating, it's just so interesting! Many people criticize it for the fact it seems 'repetitive' but if you pay attention close enough you will notice that they get closer mentally. It's hard to explain, but even though sempai may reject Morinaga outside, he may say something or do something that shows he feels closer to Morinaga (especially in vol 5 & 6). Also people don't like that Morinaga raped sempai but...well i completely disagree with rape and see no justification for the action of raping but thats how this series gets kick-started. If Morinaga hadn't have done that their relationship would have moved A LOT slower or wouldn't have really moved much at all. This series was made for the drama in the story, it is going to be very dramatic because the characters are very dramatic (sempai is my fave ~<3). All in all i think this is the best yaoi I've read and well personally its my favourite manga of all time. I think the slow progression is what makes this series so amazing since sempai isn't falling all over Morinaga, that makes it much more believable.

I have only recently started reading this series and fell head over heels for it. It reminded me of "the book" that started my gay romance frenzy. It was a "straight romance" book that had a bromance on the side that unfortunately for me never blossomed. I love the "I am only gay for you" relationship where love has no boundaries or sexual orientation.

I also don't normally go for the skinny types but this story was an exception:

the dominant male being the uke
lab research and scientists
forbidden love
gay only for you relationship
Some straight characters with a strong role in the story
It's soooo funny!!

I honestly can't get enough of this manga and hope it never ends and the next chapters can't come out soon enough...

Story - 7.8
Art - 10
Characters - 8.8

The story is intertening. The mangaka could make it more original and less repetitive but other then that it's really good and can make us fixed our eyes on the screen for a while.
I have nothing to say about the art. All the people have their taste. I like it but that's my opinion...
I found most of the TAKANAGA Hinako characters on other mangas less interestings then this one. Impressive, non clichée (strong yuke, interesting semen) and hooked are same adjective that I think names The Tyrant Who Fall in Love. The only critic I have about them is the sex, almost like rape. The semen insists to find excuses to "rape" the yuke.
If you don't like mangas like that please don't read it but if you don't find this disturbing and if you like good development characters this is the manga for you.

A Long-Time Favourite

Whenever I want to read something that I know will make me all watery-eyed and twisted inside, whenever I want to read something that touches me deeply, whenever I want to read something that makes me giggle...

I pick up this story. Over and over!

My heart bleeds for poor, puppy-dog Morinaga every single time I reread the chapters that are available. The tension and development is intense in scene layout, art and story telling.

UGH...life is rough

White the art of the manga is stunning, I still cannot get past the reality of the situation by which I mean rape. It disturbs me that the behavior Morinaga displays is very similar to how I would imagine a normal guy who doesn't realize he's committing rape would be: constantly looking for justification for his actions and "interpreting" the meanings of the other person to suit his wants. Perhaps I'm being too brazen since I am in the midst of the world of yaoi where student-teacher relationships are A-okay...

Sigh. It's just awful to think that this attitude is being encouraged. A completely despicable act. This manga is in poor taste.

5/5/13
Haaa, I don't know what to say. Maybe reading yaoi has lowered my moral code, but I recognize that Morinaga is a very caring character and he has his own flaws too. That's the thing about manga; it's written to build up the drama and angst that you don't encounter in your own life. Having given the story a chance, I do admit it's good.

Amazing!

Tyrant was the second Yaoi I ever really paid attention to. I used to pick up yaoi books and flip through them for the pretty pictures, but one day I was surfing a website called tvtropes.org, and came across their article on Tyrant. After reading their explanation of the manga, I was already hooked. The idea of role-reversal and the fact that Tatsumi was the biggest homophobe in existence just seemed so appealing. So, I found a download, and began to read.

Even though I had never read Challengers at the time, I've read it now, it wasn't hard to follow. She did a good job of making it a separate story, and anything that needed and could get an explanation got one.

I've noticed people here mentioned a lack of character and plot development. Throughout the volumes I have been able to get scanlations or page summaries for, I'd like to say that they're wrong in my opinion. Taking in mind the characters themselves, no, this plot would not move into a 'perfect relationship' in three books. Tatsumi is the kind of person who would purposefully drag out an awkward relationship with Morinaga because he can't stand the thought that he might be a homosexual. He has a very immature and close-minded view about the whole situation. So, while their relationship and plot development may be slower than normal yaoi manga's, there are little things along that way that show things are either improving or failing in one way or another along the way. The author doesn't shove them in your face or put large, blinking signs at them. You have to look into their dialouges and such in order to find them. I find this more realistic than most yaoi, because in real life most people never just out and say things.

One thing I find VERY appealing about this manga is that it's NOT every other yaoi out there. I have read my fair share of yaoi, and I have never found one as different or great as this. Tatsumi is not just suddenly in love with Morinaga after being, essentially, raped by him, but he also doesn't wish his horrible bloody death for the rest of his life. Sure, he wishes it at SOME point, but that just adds to the reason why this book is so great. Whenever I get tired of the conventional 'girly', 'easily influenced' and 'fragile' Uke (which is a lot. it's like reading bad shojo stereotypes), I turn back to this series. It's not everyday you find a series where the Uke is a violent tyrant!

It's very easy to feel for Morinaga, which I find great because it emotionally connects you to a character. You can watch how Morinaga slowly encourages Tatsumi to more or less stop running from his emotions, and in the meantime gets beaten up or yelled at for doing just that. It's a harsh thing to be involved in, and I believe it's pulled off beautifully. Tatsumi is sometimes violent towards Morinaga, true, but it's not to the point where he just beats on him because of who he is. He has to be provoked (usually with the truth...), and even then it's usually just a punch or a death threat.

This story is also riddled with hott sex scenes, and very hilarious moments. (Either at the hands of Tatsumi, or some stupid misunderstandings) The art and anatomy is PERFECT; I could stare at it all day.Some of the sex may seem a little random, but each time it happens something changes a little in their relationship. It's not usually very easy to see, but sometimes it's more prominent that others.

I HIGHLY recommend this manga to ANY fan of yaoi. The plot keeps you hooked to make you want to see when everything might change a little for the better, and the characters are easy to read and understand. At Vol.5, I do not believe Tatsumi is anywhere near directly telling Morinaga he loves him, and the frustration to finally hear it keeps it completely enticing.

If you only enjoy very fast mangas that include the love-confessions in like, the 3rd chapter, I would NOT recommend this manga.

Yaoi as I almost like it

by Lillian

Rating: 7.9 / 10.0

Coming from Challengers I already knew the characters and settings and was interested in this elder brother's story and Morinaga, who I already liked in Challengers (manga from the same mangaka from 1997).

The art improved and I really like the characters. Also the smutty scenes are sexy but same as Yuri21, below me, I find the relationship stagnation painful and more and more boring. And up to ch01 from vol5 no progress in sight, well even worse looks like a backward step after a slight progress near the end of vol 4.

sigh

I feel pity for Morinaga XD He really fell for the wrong guy.

Its (partly very) funny and hot moments were already entertaining enough though, so that I'll follow this story till the end. So it's a pity that the character development came to such a stillstand that it drags this manga down. Volume 6 and still on-going doesn't speak for a faster wanted development either .

Entertaining for a while, then collapses into an endless deluge of smut

by VampireBanana
16 years ago

Rating: 4.0 / 10.0

To be frank, it was rather entertaining for a while since such a concept seemed rather interesting: a gay man who's pining for his good friend, and his good friend who's slowly started to acknowledge him. And it had quite a few funny moments, too.

Alas, the writing was good for a while(the tension and characterisation for example), then it collapses into some endless deluge of "smut". Except that her "smut" isn't even the slightest bit steamy and it was rather frustrating seeing a little progression, followed by much more stonewalling and random sex scenes

(usually having the gay man "forcing" or "baiting" the other guy into sex).

Inevitably, I think such a "coupling" seems much harder to write. Seriously, I'd have preferred her simpler storylines as her writing was far stronger in them. As it is, this title has even slower plot progression than all-smut manga. At least, they get to the "meaty" parts fast(yes, even if they suck)!

simply the best

Rating: N/A

To tell the truth, I didn't have much interest in the mangaka's works, so I didnot have any expectation when I picked up the manga. The first chapter annoyed me, I thought it's gonna be a 'love at first rape' type of manga, so I dropped it. Some time later, out of boredom, I started reading it again, cuz it was at volume 5 and I thought it would keep me busy for quite some time. And this time when I got past chapter 1, the whole relationship development really amazed me, the story was cute, the couple was unique, their characteristics and interaction just made me lol. More than that, their story just took me on an emotion-rollercoaster, I laughed and cried with them. In short, a must-read in my opinion. You don't even need to like the other works of the mangaka to like this one, I think this one is the best one by her so far ^^

An unforgettable yaoi comedy

Well, really agree with what you (majority) have written here, and God blesses us, the series finally is licensed in North America though we still need to wait for its availability in the market.

*For those who haven't read Challengers -- please buy them (4 volumns) and read. Challengers tells the beginning relationship between Morinaga and Tatsumi quite a lot.

Whenever I read Koisuru Boukun, I'm always curious about who, Takanaga Sensei, her editor, or someone they know, had the idea first to create such an unbelievable couple. Morinaga is indeed cute, and is mature and sensitive enough for Tatsumi, who on the other hand, is very inmature in expressing his true feelings. (Actually, it looks like he keeps denying his feelings towards Morinaga.) So far from what I have read, Takanaga Sensei is doing a great job in the subtle changes in this couple's relationship. I guess lots of readers probably are thinking: "Oh yeah! Souichi DO love Morinaga! So what will happen next? Is he going to tell him that he loves him, and when?" In fact, I don't think I can wait any longer to see the ending.
