Shout Out Loud! (Sakende Yaruze)
by Satosumi Takaguchi
genre tags: boy's love, drama, comedy, real life
I really enjoyed this manga so far. It's quite uncommon in the BL genre to find a story with believable, adult characters having mundane, real life problems in addition to the genre specific issues. Takaguchi-san's subdued but realistically proportioned drawing style only adds to this appeal.
( Spoiler )
The BL aspects are fairly light in the first books and if you look for fast paced, hard action scenes (BL or otherwise), you're likely going to be disappointed aside from a few ice hockey matches. But I found these books to be a truly enjoyable read and a nice change from the fast paced, dark stories (X/1999 for example) that I usually read.
