Challengers (Manga)

[dropped]
I'll start by saying that i only starting reading this after i read Koi Suru Boukun (the sequeal) first.
Because of Koi Suru Boukun (i'll just call it KSB) i kinda know what happens, so i guess I'm just reading it to find out how they came to be.

[ Story - 6 ]
The story is simple enough: Guy (Mitsugu) assists other guy (Tomoe) by helping him find his way and offering his a place to stay. Then Mitsugu falls in love with Tomoe, even though he's straight, and thus the story progresses.

[ Art - 6 ] + [ Characters - 6 ]
The manga is old so the drawings aren't top-knotch - like some mangas these days - but still clean and readable. The story is simple and the charters aren't very deep or defining. It's just a happy story about how 2 people become lovers.

[ Enjoyment - 7 ]
The comedy was uplifting. Had my self laughing out loud a few times (thanks to Tomoe's older gay-hating brother, who appears in KSB as the Tyrant)

[ Overall - 6 ]
It's simple, funny and time-filling. If you're going to read this then i strongly suggest you read KSB afterwards. Again, if you started with KSB - like i did - then this isn't really required. KSB explains the relationship between Mitsugu & Tomoe enough for you to work out how they met.

Thanks for reading my review. Feedback + comments are appreciated ♥
