mushimangaMangaka: Fujiyama Hyouta
Genre: Yaoi
Length: 1 volume (complete)
Published by: Digital Manga Publishing
Natori is begged to go to a party by his friend, and reluctantly agrees. There he meets Kisugi; they hit it off immediately, and become good friends even though Natori is surprised to find out that Kisugi likes guys. But Natori's feelings towards Kisugi grow complicated, as he becomes jealous of Kisugi's boyfriend...
Fujiyama Hyouta has just been added to my list of mangaka whose work I try to follow. I just got around to reading Spell, which has been sitting on my drive for forever, and I really like it.
The artwork didn't immediately catch my eye, and it's a little rough around the edges, but once I gave it a chance I ended up liking it. Both of the characters are adults--I should totally make a tag for that, because in BL manga that's practically a kink. Sexuality is addressed rather than conveniently glossed over. I like the single female suporting character.
The tone, though, is what caught my attention. It reminds me a bit of what I like about Rules, even though they're pretty different: These are normal people, even if their relationship is idealized to fit into the yaoi genre.
