I Love You (Yuri/ShoujoAi)

Hanatsu Yaya

2008

A gruesomely tragic, bittersweet story of a pair of orphan girls...(Baka Updates)

Unusual pair of girls where one is popular yet no ordinary girl, and the other one is no popular and ordinary girl. Those two met and promised to live together in an orphan. Mystery takes on where one by one girl is being klled by someone and all thoughts links to megumi. And, in one bizarre moment when Kyou's anger cant be hold, she turns into a monster who will kill those who hurt 'her' Megumi-chan. (my.sypnosis.)

When I'm reading shoujo ai or yuri manga, I tend to imagine the other character as a boy. So as I read, I thought it was also like a shoujo manga where the boy is popular and the girl is hated by a massive lover of the popular guy. I didnt thought it was supernatural at first until she shown her hrns. I was like 'horns on her?' It is tragedy, because Kyou didnt even remember that Megumi is already gone in one afternoon. Her memories drowned into vanishment when anger urge her to kill.

Komako Koma falls in love with her classmate, Miyama's hands. She is overjoyed to find out they're in the same class but Miyama seems to have something going on with the public-health doctor, Sakai Misuzu-sensei. Will those hands ever touch her?

Having touched with such wonderful hands by Miyama, it was heaven for Koma. It started in the entrace ceremony. When Miyama got a petal from Koma's hair. Her heart got dokin-dokin. Everytime she see Miyama. This girl got problems of weird thoughts in her head that made Miyama gross. It was their first conversation. More like days had passed, Koma still cant get enough of Miyama's. One day she went to the infirmary to get her finger treated. There she saw someone behind the curtains. It was Miyama and the public health teacher. There were so close to each other. He kissed her hand. Yet Miyama nticed Koma then she ran away. Because of that, more weird delusions are make making Koma having weird thoughts. Gosh! This girl has a problem. lol. Koma also noticed that Miyama had his fingers painted pink like Misuzu-sensei had with her fingers. Miyama told her that he just went there to get his fingers painted. They knew sensei will stop coming to school to get married after 10 days. And so, the inloved Koma offered Miyama to atleast top-coat his nals. Well in fact she wanted him to her more. Koma's not the only one who's inlove with such attractive hands and habing weird thoughts, but also Miyama to Misuzu-sensei. He even pushed her down on their frist meeting in the infirmary. These two are really alike, don't you think? Well anyway, day after day more painted appeared on his fingers painted by sensei and then top-coated by her. Their relationship began to grow. From Miyama being grossed out and cold towards feelings her happens to be friendly and more closer to him which makes Koma happy. Yet she knew Miyama only look at sensei and doesn't even see that she loves him. Poor Koma, she really like him a lot. I really feel sorry for Koma not having him noticed her feelings. It was nearly end for Miyama to see Misuzu-sensei and for Koma to touch his hands.It is really hard for him to let go. After that, Koma noticed the Miyama had his hand wounded. He went outside yet she follwed him. To his annoyance, he yelled at her and told her tom ind her mind business. Yet she minded still and confessed her feelings. "Because I Love you..." Then she ran away and went to infirmary to find help from Misuzu-sensei. Because she can no longer heal Miyama's wounds, she asked Koma if she can treat Miyama's wounds instead of her. Miyama was in the rooftop. Then treated his wounds there. Koma felt that Miyama only wanted to touch Misuzu-sensei's hands. "People are greedy arent they?" Koma felt sad and offered her hands to him even though she cannot really replace sensei's. He leaned to her and cried.

It was time for Sensei to go. She met Miyama and reconciled with her cunningly. Days after that,everything was back to normal. Koma remebered that she confessed to him. She ingnored him yet Miyama noticed it. Afetr all what Koma did froh im. I can say Miyama had this growing feelings towards him where he offered his hand to her this time. Koma's contented with it. And hoping more from him.

 Gosh! Both of them have hand fetishes. lol. Overall: the story was lovely. Miyama is really cunning paired with a weird & delusioned girl. It was funny thinking that Koma thought of so many things. Thinking Miyama has a mother complex, or an otaku, or a Gay! She really got problems. Despite the illustrations, i really loved some lines there. "People are really greedy,arent they?" Hoping for more from Sayoko! Thumbs Up!

Akizuki Sorata

The story begins where the Dragon Child Kito had lived with Priestess Shuen. Aww! Kito is really handsome. The cool and calm guy that any girl would have but ended up with an immature crybaby. Why all boys like Kito always sided with these type of girls. Almost all! I really don't like crybaby girl characters. They are annoying sometimes. Yet, she ended up not crying when he saying goodbye to them. She had already cried for so many times. Yeah. I was excited when the tension starts building up when Kito's body starting to react. His body starts changing. It was so dramatic yet lovely when the Priestess gave the Dragon Child a hymn song in the end. I thought of not letting him go if I was her. But it was their fate. Someone who already his fate was decided. Overall: The story plot was great. Despite that it was too short! I want more of this and more of Sorata :)

First story. The student is a 17 year-old girl named FUJIWARA Kayo. Her main hobby is games. She is always playing her handheld (It looks a lot like a PSP) in class. One day, her teacher, a handsome, but kind of mean-looking guy named HAIBARA-sensei, catches her playing it in class, yells at her, and confiscates it. Grr, stupid Haibara-sensei, always ruining her fun! Kayo can’t stand him, and doesn’t understand why he is so popular with all the other girls at school. Ah, but Kayo is in for a surprise! When she goes to Haibara’s office after school go get her game back, he greets her there with a sinister smirk on his face. He doesn’t look inclined to return it to her. Ah, what a creep! And wait a minute, he says he will give it back to her… in return for a favor?! Visions involving sexual harassment or torture flash through Kayo’s mind, but instead it is something much different — he wants to play video games with her! In fact, he has a PSP also, and by the crazy sparkles in his eyes, he really admires her skills, and wants to play some games with her!

The second story in this book is my favorite, and had me feeling all warm and fuzzy and happy while reading it ^_^ It’s about a shy girl named ICHII Ekko who has a great imagination and a talent for drawing. Every day at school she fills her lined notebook with drawings, complete manga stories, about the people around her. Most of these stories are little romance shoujo manga stories involving herself and any random cute guy she sees. She can turn any minor interaction into a silly shoujo manga plot, complete with sparkles and flowers, and a heroine that looks just like herself. For example, at the beginning of this story, she has just finished a manga page about herself and the handsome guy she wan into at the video store. Ekko’s art is very good, and I really like her panel layouts. She may be talented, but it’s not something she shares with anyone else. Her notebook is her secret, and it would be horribly embarrassing if anyone found out about it. Naturally, this story starts when just such a horrible thing happens. One day in class, Ekko has a minor collision with cute classmate Tamon-kun. He is a cute guy, and the moment they spoke to each other was brief, but notable for Ekko because that was the first time she actually spoke to him. Naturally, she needs to turn this event into a romance, and before you know it, she has drawn a little story about a guy and girl bumping into each other.

Story 3 is also a lot of fun. High school girl Naomi is excited to learn there is a new boy transferring into their class. Until this year, her school was a girl’s school, and even though it’s now co-ed, biys are scarce. So a new boy at school is big news! Unfortunately for Nao, the transfer student isn’t exactly a nice guy. His name is Katsuyuki-kun, and he’s tall and scary looking. He has an aura around him that just screams ‘do not touch! go away!’ He is like a feral cat or some other wild animal. But in spite of this, Nao doesn’t give in. She can tell something isn’t right. She figures it out soon enough– Katsuyuki is actually afraid and embarrassed to be around girls! He doesn’t hate them at all! Now the problem is how can she break though his tough exterior and make friends with him?

Story 4 is about a guy and girl who are already a couple. Rinako really likes Shun, but he doesn’t seem to want to take their relationship seriously. Even though he know it makes her mad, he is always going out with other girls. When Rinako confronts him angrily, he apologizes, but that doesn’t stop him from doing the same thing over again. In fact, he is always playing tricks on her and doing little things to boter her. Why does she stay with him? Well, she really really likes him! (not the brightest girl…) But even Rinako has her limits. When she catches him sitting with a classmate on his lap (a seat he had said was Rinako’s) she finally gives in. She’s had enough. Shun begs for forgiveness, and takes it for granted that Rinako will take him back. But when her reaction is different than her usual anger, he stops short. She’s seriously dumping him? She can’t do that, right?

Finally, the last story is a brief and funny tale of friendship, jealousy, and romance, with a bit of basketball thrown in.
