Fujisaki Miyako & Nakamura Shungiku - Yokozawa Takafumi no Baai


*MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS*

           I remember going through a phase in my life where no BL manga could satisfy me, I could hardly do anything about it, None of the new ones being released nor the old manga that were already out and completed meet my expectations. That's when i finally reach out to novels. I had a bad experience with a BL novel before, It was super boring and the story was all mixed up and shit, I did not even bother get familiarized with the characters let alone finish the book. This experience made me hesitant on reading BL novels but I did and I was glad i reached for this novel in particular.

           The Manga Sekaii Ichi Hatsukoi is very popular. Everybody that is into BL definitely have read that manga but this novel, Yokozawa's Story, How many have read this? How many have cried together with Yokozawa? I bet there are tons.  It isn't hard for the characters to grow in you, Maybe because Yokozawa is already introduced in Sekaii Ichi Hatsukoi Or because their story is just lovable.

             The Story sends *Pingg to my heart every single time, It is bittersweet yet it feels right. Yokozawa is in love with another man or was in love, Kirishima is single but have a child with his deceased wife. Both Have loved someone else more than anything in this world and both wanted to start anew.

             But can they really love someone else even though they already have someone in their hearts? That someone they can no longer reach out, is it why they would settle for each other? Just like licking each other wounds? Will that be really enough? Lets both find out because all this i have ranted are from my memory a year ago, The novel is still ongoing, many events might happen but i just wish these two the happiness both they deserve.
