Houkago Edge

Description

Tobari's always loved cute and feminine things. Which sparks his eventual venture into drag. One day, while he was out in public dressed as a high school girl, he bumps into fellow classmate, Inui. It's annoying to Tobari how amusing Inui finds it, but at least he's promised not to tell anyone. But with no plans of letting him off for this hobby, Inui proposes something outrageous. He is twisted and unstable, but for some reason, his words are reassuring. A story of a secret love woven with something unnerving.

Mhhhh

This feels like it needs a sequel that actually explores the guys' feelings about their sexual identities and their feelings for each other on a less cutesy/immature level.

That said, it's very cute and does keep away from ugly prejudice and bullying ..(except for the blackmailing comment in the beginning, which to me actually felt like a coping mechanism for the boy unsure about his developing interest in the crossdresser -iykwim!)

The boys are cute

Nothing very outstanding about the story or its delivery but at least it's self-aware enough and quite humourous in parts. The art is good and the cast sufficiently likeable, though like the story itself they weren't very substantially developed and stayed rather stereotypical even until the end. And it's not like the ending was a proper conclusion either. So yeah, unless you're trying to kill time you won't find anything meaty or memorable here.

I actually really liked this??

Sure, the characters are honestly not that likeable and do pretty shitty things. But the thing is, I can relate to both of them. They each have flaws that make them much more human to me. Tobari lashes out at others because of his own insecurities. Inui acts like a dumb teenager and is as much of an asshole as one. I don't think these are bad things; so often characters have flaws that only serve to make them more appealing (clumsiness, shyness, antisocial behaviour, etcetc) whether to the love interests or the readers. As Ricchan says, Inui (and Tobari to an extent) is rotten, but that only makes it more interesting and adds another dimension to this work without making it too grimdark. In fact the characters themselves recognize their own shortcomings and fall for each other in spite of them. (The blackmail IS really not a good look though. There's no forgiving that.)

Another reason why I like this is because it's in between fluff and the darker side of BL. I often find works that are either saccharine lovefests with dumb cliched drama or black holes of tragedy and misery. This is cute but filled with imperfect characters and their imperfect decisions and it does a good job of keeping a middle ground.

Also the art is super nice. And I'm a sucker for crossdressing, so there's that.

Here it is~~~ the kind of plot that every mediocre shounen ai/yaoi must have: FORCING!!!
Reading the 2nd chap and I can't put up with it already. And what was Inui's reason for pushing him too much? He wants to know more about Tobari? Lol. Things like that (knowing more about the person) takes time. Don't go btcha*s-ing someone you like just to know them better.
And I'm quite angry at Tobari. Seriously? If I was him (refer in chap2) I would've grabbed his phone and destroy it first and throw it in the window. Eugh annoying.

Quite a waste for a very astonishing art, I must say.

Somewhat decent and interesting.

The art's pretty nice, and the vibe is nice.
The MC wasn't particularly interesting or likable, and the other guy is... v problematic. But interesting. It has its good parts, but doesn't particularly shine. It has cute moments too.
Good enough to read on the bus, not quite what I'd go for if I want something to settle down with for the evening. Intriguing, but not amazing.

Cute Art, but

The art's really nice.
That's pretty much all I can say about this, honestly. The story's alright, and the characters are so-so in that they're all recognizable with the named characters each getting a role in the plot. I was hoping Inui would get more character development, as he was left still rather unlikable. Just one more chapter would've done the trick, I think.
