Çizimleri daha iyi olsa fena olmazmış ama onun dışında konu ve karakterleri sevdim.

From first-love to sex-friends to soul-mates. The Journey wasn't easy but Kurata and Tozaki made it. They were able to, only because of the intense longing they had for each other. Sure they were each other's first love but you need courage and determination to pursue it. Tozaki and Kurata's story is about love, but it is also not giving up. Even when it ends, We are certain that these two are going to be together forever. The perfect closure to a great story.

Junjou or Pure Heart, story and art by Hyouta Fujiyama is listed as a romantic drama, and trust me, it is. After the first few pages I almost put it down and that’s due to the over used high school trope: ‘classmates meet years later and fall for one another, the unrequited love syndrome, along with a gay man falls for a straight man’, all rolled into one. But I like this mangaka and have thoroughly enjoyed many of her other works. So, I continued to read. It turned out I couldn’t put Junjou down.
During high school, Tozaki falls for fellow classmate and track-and-field star Kurata. Kurata was straight and they weren’t friends. Tozaki just watched his first love from afar expecting nothing, and then one day Kurata was suddenly transferred from the school. There’s a little more to their interaction during high school, but I’ll leave it at that.
Years later they meet again through work. Tozaki recognizes Kurata immediately, and he’s nervous to work with a man that he once had feelings for, which is understandable because he never really stopped loving him. Tozaki is confused and tries his best to keep his identity a secret. But, unfortunately for him, Kurata knows they went to school together, and from that moment on their working relationship as well as personal interactions spirals out of control. Kurata forces his sexual needs on Tozaki, unable to equate his own feelings, and because Tozaki is such a sweet and thoughtful man, he can’t seem to say no.
I didn’t care much for Kurata at first. He came across as a cold and indomitable individual who seemed unresponsive to Tozaki’s feelings. But as the story progressed those poor personality traits of his became his saving grace. And once Tozaki gave his full support, Kurata transformed into an extremely passionate man.
Junjou is unquestionably a drama, and a very good one. I could tell the mangaka really cherished her characters because of the time she took to develop their personalities. I was totally enthralled with each man’s life and where their stormy romance would lead. At one point, I honestly thought with all the outside interference they wouldn’t make it. If you read Junjou you’ll understand what I mean. There comes a certain point in any story, where you know, as the reader, it’s either do or die, so-to-speak, and whatever the character’s decision, there’s no turning back; the big climax. And that’s how I felt with this yaoi. At approximately thirds of the way into it, I just knew Kurata had to do something or Tozaki would walk away. Everything about this manga is excellent: the characters, art, plot and dialogue. So, if you can handle the ‘high school’ trope, you should enjoy it as much as I did.

The third volume is undoubtedly the best. Finally, the two own up to their feelings - and Kurata actually comes out to his colleague and to his parents. This is actually a bit lighter overall, and the ending was really cute. Also, Tozaki wasn't as much of a pushover here. (Although that already got better in book 2.)

This series is a really enjoyable "gay-for-you" story, with likeable characters and a very nice overall feel to it.

It's kinda funny how I could accurately predicted what's gonna happened in several events in this manga, lol. Just like when Shousei's mother showed up, or when his mother lied about Keisuke's answer or when Shousei asked Keisuke to live together.

Anyway, too bad Muroe was engaged to a woman already.... I was kinda expecting his own story (with a guy, of course), lol...
