Blue Kiss
"Kao’s first merry step in the university stumbled
when the new bond of friendship unexpectedly threw him
into the same gang as Pete’s, a rich, handsome guy who was his high school friend.
It would’ve been fine if they’d been normal friends, but Pete had once targeted him!
Even though Pete had broken his old habit of getting into fights from high school,
their resentment towards each other never changed.
Their friends had to go to the trouble to strengthen their relationship
by pairing them up for a school assignment.
Until, one day, the walls between them had broken down.
And Pete and Kao found that they got along better than they’d expected.
But their newfound relationship was threatened to be ruined
when Fongbeer, a BA student, had gotten in the way of their ‘friendship.’
It made Pete try to pick fights with Kao every day like before.
What should a best friend (who wanted to be more than just a friend)
like Kao do in this situation?"

Yes, I do rewatch this problematic series once in a while because the actors are cute as buttons. And it's problematic all over again ☺️

5/5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (2021)
Del amor al odio hay un solo paso.
Y esto es lo que sucedio entre ambos.
Me gusto, sobre todo fue porque trataba mas sobre el hecho de que ambos tenian que aceptar, aun cuando ya salían. Que el enamorarse del otro no estaba mal, aunque los prejuicios de la sociedad dijera que sí.
El camino de la aceptacion no es fácil y cuando se trata de salir, es algo que va relacionado con otra persona.
Cuando se trata entre dos hombres no es fácil y menos aun cuando los dos tienen mal carácter y antes se odiaban
3/5⭐ (2024)
He hecho una relectura (es la 3ra) y esta vez si cambio de opinión. El sentimiento con la que la leí en aquel entonces fue de 10✨

While I’m travelling in Thailand, I was hoping to find a gay, Thai manga-style comic to review. In a stroke of luck, when I made my pilgrimage to Kinokuniya in Bangkok–I could write an entire review about the store in Siam Paragon, gorgeous, a huge selection of English language books, a fantastic manga section, including BL/yuri–I was thrilled to find their “No Boundaries” section of LGBTQ pics (although they were mostly books about gay men).
Blue Kiss I took to be a manga, solely because of the pretty anime boys on the cover. Once I confirmed that it was set in Thailand (check!) and by a Thai author (check!) I added it to my pile of books. Turns out it was a light novel, but I’m counting that as a win.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from a gay Thai story. I know as much about LGBTQ rights in Thailand as any westerner with access to Google, and from a few conversation with Thai people and immigrants from other countries, the sense I get is: fairly liberal populace, fairly conservative government. I understand Blue Kiss is part of the bigger Kiss Me Again series by Hideko_Sunshine and, to her credit, when I’m back in Canada I’m definitely going to see if I can find an English dub of the sequel TV show Dark Blue Kiss. I want to see how they continue the character’s stories.

Essa é uma das minhas novel favoritas, aqui mostra muitas coisas que a comunidade LGBT+ passa hoje em dia, o medo de falar aos pais, de não serem aceitos na sociedade por gosta do mesmo sexo. Sou complementada apaixonada por essa obra.
OBS: antes de falar que Pete é abusivo com Kao, busque interpretar mais o texto e aos sentimentos de ambos. Pois Kao ainda é inseguro e Pete o ama demasiadamente. 💕

Lo cierto es que no he visto la serie completa, pues decidí que sería mejor empezar por el libro y después juzgar la adaptación, pero nunca dejan de sorprenderme y la adaptación es muy dulce y fiel.
Es un libro bastante sencillo de leer, aún me falta familiarizarme con los personajes, pero si tengo problemas con la pareja, Pete y Kao, me hacen enfurruñar a cada rato.
¿Por qué nadie me dijo que los golpes son los nuevos besos? En vez de leer palabras cursis, conocí los golpes cursis, sin embargo, no lo ví en un punto tóxico, simplemente eran sentimientos no reconocidos. Digo, no eran pareja.
Pero si me gustaron demasiado las pequeñas señales tan humanas de un enamoramiento, como es el olor.
Le encantaba ese olor, ¿Qué era? Joder, él no traía ningún perfume :)

April 4, 2024Thai BL (there's also a TV series). Quick, easy read with some typical tropes I like. I didn't see anything really problematic that I had expected from some reviews. It was a little sad they get they had to hide their relationship from most people because they were worried about their peace but hopefully that is changing. Exciting times for Thailand with the recent vote to legalize same sex marriage!
✔️Enemies to lovers
✔️Friend group
✔️Jealousy/miscommunication
✔️MC is gay and hasn't told anyone
✔️ML is straight but starts having feelings
✔️Angst
✔️🛏 is fade to black
There are a few translation errors but easy to figure out and not too jarring. I don’t mind translation errors if the overall story is good- and this was! There’s also another book called Dark Blue Kiss.

หนังสือมีความหนาประมาณ 230 หน้า ซึ่งจัดว่าไม่หนามาก สามารถอ่านจบได้ภายใน 1 วัน แต่ให้คะแนน 50 เต็ม 100 เพราะพล๊อตเรื่องธรรมดา เนื้อเรื่องไม่ค่อยมีมิติและไม่ละเอียดละออ อาจจะเป็นเพราะคนแต่งกั๊กไว้เขียนเรื่องอื่นๆหลายๆเล่ม แม้ตัวละควรส่วนใหญ่จะเป็นผู้ชาย ภาษาในเรื่องไม่ค่อยเหมือนที่ผู้ชายพูดกัน อาจเป็นเพราะคนเขียนเป็นผู้หญิง
คะแนนที่ให้ มาจากบทสนทนาในฉากต่างๆ ที่เขียนได้ค่อนข้างลื่นไหลดี ไม่น่ารำคาญ ที่เลือกอ่านเพราะว่าตามมาจากนิยาย kiss me again

Un libro muy ligero, pero que me gustó demasiado. Tenía varios meses que una novela no me enganchaba tanto, necesitaba algo contemporáneo con un toque de toxicidad y Blue Kiss fue la solución.
Antes de leer la novela vi la serie, y sólo diré que en todos este tiempo mi amor por Pete y Kao no había sido mayor.
Además, la traducción que leí, mis respetos, todo muy bien ✨

Quite well translated. Also I like that even if there is the token girl that causes problems, its more centered on them than on her.
Sun and Mork... I'll never get enough of them. ;_;
Hope Dark Blue will also get translated.

Blue Kiss
I have been dying to read this after watching the Thai series and all I can say is this novel was great! The details and facts we missed from the series are all in the novel and the extra scenes about Mork and Sun were amazing. Can’t wait to read the next one!!

Loved this couple, but it was definitely a “fade to black” kinda romance 😒

Is it good? Well, it's not Shakespeare, that's for sure. Also, the translation is a bit iffy in some places. But for me as a PeteKao fan, this was a must-read and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
There were things that I liked more in the book - their first time was really nicely done and it was more than just the small peek that we got in the drama (which I also loved, don't get me wrong) - but there were also things that I enjoyed more in the series, like the accidental kiss (which wasn't in the book) and everything else that happened after the fight in the bar, basically the whole second half of their story, and especially the scene where Kao agreed to be Pete's boyfriend! I’m never not going to grin like a loon watching Pete pounce and Kao squeak!
