Koimonogatari

Art: 4Story: 3 1/2
Pace: 3*

I'm not the biggest fan of slice of life stories, but I make exceptions for anything BL related. I was drawn into this story by the beautiful art and, even though the pacing is incredibly slow (I'm not sure anything actually happened in vol 1), I'd like to stick with the series and see where it goes. I love slow burns, but this is just slow without the burn ^^; Still, the story so far is enjoyable. I like Yamato and Seki the most. Yuiji is a bit (a lot) of a jerk for the first half of the volume, so it's a bit hard to like him (or ship him with Yamato, even though that's clearly where the story wants to take us).

I'm worried that it took the author 3 years to write vol 2 after the publication of the first one. I hope that it doesn't take another 3 years for the vol 3, or worse, that the series is never finished. If you decide to try out this series, go in knowing that it might be a long wait until it's completed.
