Loveholic: v. 1

Wieder, m.M.n, ein Meisterstück aus der Feder von Toko Kawai. Ihr wunderschöner Zeichen-, Story- und Charakterstil haben mich wieder gefesselt und den Manga verschlingen lassen. Dies ist der 1. von zwei Teilen.Ich finde sehr empfehlenswert für Yaoi/BL Fans.

Le dernier chapitre est incontournable et super touchant ! Malgré un scénario basique, l'histoire en elle-même est intéréssante avec une pointe d'humour. Tout s'explique, rien ne se perds rien ne se crée, tout se transforme en une histoire qui rime avec toujours...

Habe schon einige Mangas von Toko Kawai. Finde, dass dieser einer ihrer besten ist. Supertolle Geschichte und natürlich wie immer ein total schöner Zeichenstil. Hoffe, dass bald der zweite Band erhältlich ist.

This soft core Yaoi between Matsukawa, a successful executive, and Nishioka, an independent photographer, is just the type of heartwarming and emotional romance I expect from Toko Kawai. Her artwork may not be the best but I marvel at her ability to inject so much feelings into the facial expressions of her characters. Her words may be simple but they are underlined with emotional depth and her story telling skill is remarkable.Both Matsukawa and Nishioka are well developed characters. They have been badly scarred by their unhappy pasts and therefore afraid to love again. On the surface they seem to drive each other nuts. But deep down they do care for each other as their feelings caught up with them over the years. Here the mangaka does a marvellous job building up the emotions, from the subtly hint of attraction to full blown need for the other. Her plot is well thought out, credible, engaging, warm and sprinkled with humorous moments. The revelation of both men's unhappy pasts does catch me by surprise, especially Matsukawa's story which is deeply touching and tragic. Finally the last bonus short story is especially sweet.A great release from Junemanga and I definitely look forward to the evolution of their love in Loveholic 2.
