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

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!!!

Heartwarming.

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

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.

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.

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:

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.

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

[smile · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.

He kinda reminds me my boy

[⭐Toonasa⭐ •Romance Book Lovers' Haven• · Rating 5 out of 5]

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 is my kind of BL, Ioved it! I'm really sad that this is only two volumes tho, I need more from this mangaka! 😭

I don't know how many "me when's" i have left in me

[Gaia Rolando · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sono stata piacevolmente stupita da questi due volumi.
Dalla trama e dai primi capitoli mi aspettavo una classica storia scolastica bl, andando avanti con i capitoli però si è aggiunta profondità e intensità.✨

Nonostante la brevità dei manga i protagonisti hanno avuto modo di crescere emotivamente e mentalmente, questo è un elemento che apprezzo sempre moltissimo.
Nel corso del racconto vengono inoltre approfonditi e scoperti anche elementi caratteriali ben distinti dei personaggi, secondo me è molto importante, si capisce che c'è sincerità e fiducia reciproca.
Altro punto che viene trattato con estrema naturalezza è quello della sessu4l1tà: da una parte c'è Akane, più sicuro e "maturo", dall'altra parte abbiamo invece Haiga, ancora "acerbo" e alla scoperta di se stesso.✨

Personalmente ho apprezzato di più il secondo volume rispetto al primo, la musica unisce i due ragazzi, permette loro di esprimersi al meglio e di conoscersi con più profondità.🎸
Inoltre, anche se il focus principale viene riservato ad Haiga e Akane, i personaggi secondari svolgono un ruolo molto importante, aiutando a creare più atmosfera e a far conoscere meglio i due protagonisti nelle loro vite private, al di fuori dell'ambiente scolastico.🎶

I disegni della mangaka Shikke sono meravigliosi, riesce a mantenere l'attenzione sui protagonisti, facendo risaltare al meglio le loro differenze: l'ingenuità e solarità di Haiga, la compostezza e charme di Kanae.
L'emozioni vengono trasmesse benissimo, dalle azioni compiute ma, soprattutto dalle espressioni facciali, punto forte delle illustrazioni.✨

NB: sono presenti contenuti esplic1ti, se non siete abituat* a leggere yaoi vi prego di prestare attenzione prima di acquistarli!

this was a cute ending and i’m glad we got to see more of ryo’s point of view and that he wasn’t the typically emotionally distant and aloof upperclassman that we normally get in college romances. i just wish this was three volumes long, or even four, so we could feel like a year had passed from the start of volume 1 to the end of volume 2. it felt a little rushed seeing as it all happened in just two volumes. it would’ve meant getting to see the two of them hang out a little more before getting together as well. like i didn’t doubt their feelings for one another, but i would’ve liked more of a development.

[Ajx ☽ 🍓 Charyl · Rating 4 out of 5]

First of all I really enjoyed this story more than I expected !!
I was afraid to find some soft of biphobia across this pages, which is a serious and sensible topic to me, but was pleasingly strucked by the delicacy and the sensitivity of this story.

A beautiful memorable story about discovering and exploring yourself dotted with a touch of music which moved my heart.

A solid 4⭐️, though I wanted to know even more about the characters’ lives and their other relationships.

[Faith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ahhh this is so good. The connection they have is so beautiful and I love the intimacy between them. They are so green flag coded and I looove it! I wish we had more series like this. I was giggling and kicking my feet the whole time. This made me so happy.

Shikke is now an author I will immediately buy from. If she’s putting something out, I’m buying. TAKE MY MONEY

[Poisonivy_Seastars · Rating 5 out of 5]

Someone told me to start this a long time ago cause the love interest reminded them of Mu Qing from tgcf…and it did not disappoint.

Also one of the quotes??? “Just following you with my eyes isn’t enough” AAAA

The story wrapped up pretty nicely. Simple but sweet.

Though the time skip was pretty huge
