ピンクハートジャム [Pink Heart Jam] #2

by Shikke, Tabea Kamada (Translator)

Haiga ist ein richtiges Landei und zieht zum Studieren ausgerechnet nach Tokio. Tausend Dinge gehen ihm durch den Kopf, aber eine der wichtigsten Fragen betrifft nicht die Uni oder den Umzug ... sondern ob er auf Männer steht. Bei einem Ausflug in Shinjukus Schwulenszene versucht Haiga Antworten zu finden – und trifft dabei auf seinen Senpai Kanae, der eine einfache Lösung hat: Ausziehen!

I swear, this manga!! But the time-skip is too short. I needed a little more 🫠

[Jasmine]

Shikke has spoiled me and I don’t believe I’ll ever love another BL manga like I love Pink Heart Jam. I’M WRITING THIS WITH TEARS IN MY EYES!!!

[V.ya]

Heartwarming.

[ollie]

Short but cute! The ending of the final chapter was very wholesome.

[Rebecca]

This was a lovely duology that I wish was longer. The story ends when they first get together and I wanted to see more of their domestic life, though we do get a really cute two years later short.

This volume gave me a better feel for Kanae. He seemed a bit closed off in volume one, but here we see that he just wants to be cherished. Luckily, Haiga doesn't mind spoiling him a little.

Haiga is as always genuinely a sweetheart, and the art remains gorgeous. I'll definitely be rereading this.

2.5 ⭐️ Didn’t enjoy the final chapter at all.

Sau những sự kiện xảy ra ở Vol.1 trong chuyến đi trại hè, Haiga giờ đây đã chắc chắc hơn về tình cảm mà cậu dành cho đàn anh Kanae. Còn về phía Kanae cũng bắt đầu nhận ra tình cảm của bản thân.

Mình bất ngờ vì bộ này phát triển không như mấy bộ BL cùng chủ đề Trường đại học, hầu như mọi thứ tập trung vào CLB là chính. Qua tới Vol.2 mình vẫn thích Haiga,  dễ thương và đẹp trai vãi!!!



Và hết, thật sự là mình không thấy hứng thú nhiều với bộ này, drama của Vol.2 nhẹ; thấy mọi người chỉ nhắc tới độ ngầu của Kanae chứ chẳng thấy gì khác :))) Lần này mình mâu thuẫn với gu của Kanae, câu chuyện của không được khai thác, thể hiện nhiều như Haiga, rốt cuộc việc Kanae chọn Haiga vì cậu chàng khiến anh ta thấy an toàn. Thực sự là mình đã quên bén đi việc Haiga từng thắc mắc về tính hướng của bản thân, nó rất nhạt nhòa.

ml's character design is gorgeous but the story is flat

Rating: 5/5 stars

"Pink Heart Jam, Vol. 2" by Shikke is even better than the first volume. The story continues to delve deeply into the complexities of Haiga and Kanae's relationship, exploring their emotions and personal growth in a way that is both realistic and touching. The character development in this volume is exceptional, with both main characters facing new challenges and discovering more about themselves and each other.

The artwork remains stunning, with expressive illustrations that beautifully capture the nuances of the characters' emotions. The pacing is perfect, keeping the reader engaged from start to finish. The balance of humor, drama, and romance is masterfully handled, making this volume a truly enjoyable read.

Volume 2 is a standout in the series, showcasing Shikke's talent for storytelling and artistry.

This manga got me like:

[syh]

2.75 ⭐️

The ending is why I added the .75...it was such a good ending. But the rest of it felt like a chore to get through unfortunately...it was wayyyyy too rushed for me 😣

[Rebecca]

This is only the second romance I can think of where one of the partners is a sex worker. (The other was by Mary Balogh.) I may have read more, but not many, and while it's not used in a particularly meaningful way here, I do find it an interesting twist.

[anaya]

they both are so pretty!!! & i love the ending it was soooo cute ★: 3.75

[ziya]

it's cute, but i definitely think i would've hyped it up way more if my standards weren't already set by other stories. liked it, just not entirely blown away.

[smile]

I need to read more.

Vol. 1 ★★☆☆☆

I was unimpressed by Vol. 1. This does little to change my mind. As I've said before, the two leads have no chemistry together. Even the confession scene is anticlimactic. I feel crazy seeing the two of them move in together at the end of story. Jumping the gun much? At least the art is pretty.

[ALEXXX]

He kinda reminds me my boy

[⭐Toonasa⭐ *Romance Book Lovers' Haven* (For long and deep.... reviews!)]

This is such a cute —& soo HOTTT— college BL manga!
I actually found this as I was looking for Given like manga, & I'm glad! I devoured all the 10 chapters in one seating.

Haiga is freshman in the college & from countryside. He's such a sweetheart & has golden retriever energy! A vocalist who becomes part of the music club & is enamored by Kanae.
Kanae is the senior in same college. He's quiet, freaking cool, & so pretty 😍. He's guitarist & part of a band & music club. He had been wanting a bf.

Their start is quite a surprise with Haiga's 1st talk with Kanae at the pleasure shop K works at 🤭. I loved that we had a sexuality & preference talk all on Ch 1! These 2 are f'ing hot & the build-up 🥵. + There's condoms & lube! The emotional development is slow, but so cute, & I loved that K waited for H to figure his sexuality out! The training camp 🥰. Last chapter gave me Given vibes & was so beautiful ❤️. The friends are good too 😊. Loved it!

Comic rating: (#1 + #2)

1) The Characters: 5/5
2) Story feels: ☺️😋😳🥵😕🥵💕😜🥰🥵🥺😍
3) Art: 4.5/5 (Not colored)
4) Sexy/Steamy scenes: Many! Something in almost every chapter.

4.5
(there are many ideas not really well combined I just put things I remember and liked about the story, also sorry for the probably big amount of misspelled words)
Here I come again, the connection that the characters develop between the music is so cool, Haiga loved the way Kanae plays the guitar since the beginning, Kanae loving the way Haiga sings and now them doing music together? I LOVE IT
After the music camp (or whatever that was) the cute actions between them have me so damn happy, like Haiga giving his sweeter to Kanae will he was sleeping in the clubs room, the little smile of Haiga when he realized and just think that Kanae just went there hopping to find Haiga.
Kanae quit his job because he realized he had real feeling for Haiga and couldn't keep doing it also key, he started the job hopping to find a boyfriend that cares about him, and at that point in the book he have made the biggest step, he found someone that cares and loves him, and he also has feelings for him, but now comes the most difficult part talk about what he feels with Haiga.
So I think we all agree that Kanae drunk is so wholesome and he talking about Haiga like he is so secure but shy at the same time; I loved the friends reaction.
AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN COMMUNICATION IS KEY! I loved them even more for that I'm used to the lack of communication that is getting frustrating but seeing this two opening themselves and talking about this that need to be told make me smile like a crazy.
And then the cutest ending ever.

This one was super cute, I still adore their dynamic together and I still cant get enough of Kanae he's so prettyyyyyy. Their confession was super adorable and the build up was exactly what i was hoping for although it was a little anticlimactic. Still they are a super cute duo and I love the musical aspect of this story it really helped these two connect perfectly. Im so sad that Kanae has graduated college and they dont see eachother all the time now but I think they're doing a perfect job and handling the new lifestyle. All the little secrets Haiga is finding out about how Kanae felt the entire time is just so sweet. I really hope there will be another volume for them I want to see where this new lifestyle will take them.

3.7/5

[Nea Poulain]

Me gusto mucho. A veces uno tiene ganas de leer slice of life sin muchos stakes y esta muy bien. Este en particular esta muy bien escrito y creo que aborda relaciones romanticas de una muy buena manera.
