Cute Pretty Boys     Jun 02, 2008     reviewed by Obsessed    

I wasn’t very sure about this work, but ended up pleasantly surprised. The plot seemed quite dull and overused. After all, how many boys’ dorm relationships can there be? The main character look really girly, which is something I do not prefer (I like my men, men).

However, between the supporting characters and the unusual constitution of the uke, I found the work to be really good. To start off with, the uke, who is REALLY girly, has an extremely weak constitution. His nervousness, despite his desire to be with his lover, does most of the interrupting between the couple. It leads to some rather funny/embarrassing moments that I had never seen portrayed in yaoi before.

The supporting characters are also really interesting. The uke’s older brother is also the school dietician. His open homosexuality is downright shameful, but forces the story to move forward. Plus, his extreme openness leads to an excellent side story that is very re-readable.

Once again, the sex scenes are edited, but at a tolerable level. Still, quite good, but nothing explicit.

The art is quite beautiful and very clean. Also, DMP did a good job with work by making the pages white, thick and with good inking.
