Doushitemo Furetakunai is really a diamond in the rough. With its simple but effective art style, engaging characters, and bittersweet romance, it is truly one-of-a-kind.
Yoneda Kou's art is a feast for the eyes. Elegantly uncomplicated, it excellently portrays the characters' emotions with innocent sincerity. Yoneda avoids many of the tired artistic cliches so rampant in this genre; her characters struggle through their problems without the copiously over-flowing uke tears, without the angry seme suddenly turning into a vicious rapist, without any of the contrived scenarios added solely for dramatic effect that one usually finds in yaoi manga. The seriousness of the art and the notable

Doushitemo Furetakunai --I absolutely don't want to touch you-- tells the story about Shima and Togawa, your average company workers. Shima is the new guy, he has a shy and blunt personality; he doesn’t talk unless it’s necessary and when he does he is very incisive. Togawa finds these traits really interesting and, after a really bad first impression, he can’t help but want to tease Shima every time he sees his inexpressive face. This situation could turn out to be a normal boss/employee relationship, or even a good friendship, but, what happens when Togawa accidentally discovers the other side of Shima and becomes even

I'm not gonna say outright that I'm a big connoisseur of simple yaoi-driven stories. In fact, this is really only the third one I've read. But I'm not stupid enough not to know that this one really wasn't exceptional.
I guess it stood for its one true purpose: an angsty little story about two misunderstood bishounens who have sex frequently. But really, that's all it was about. It DID have a plot, I guess, if you could call that story "satisfying", but then again, I keep losing myself. This isn't an action-adventure. This is a yaoi. In that case, it was pretty good. The sex ...

Doushitemo Furetakunai is only BL manga I have read thus far that seamlessly blends drama with yaoi, with just a light comedic touch (after I read a succession of panels that lead to me thinking "Aww, that's really sweet", this line suddenly shows up "Don't fart in your sleep" (lol) and strangely, it never seriously detracted from the whole "sensitive" mood that was set). Though DF only has 9 chapters, the story was told beautifully and nothing felt rushed. Not one panel in the manga felt excessive or out of place, they just flowed nicely into one another. The whole story might've well been based

This was one of the most touching stories I've read. It's very rare for a manga to elicit an emotional response from me but this one did. I full-on wept and that surprised me.
What I loved about this story: 1. The plot was moving, down-to-earth, and relatable. 2. The characters were extremely endearing and neither was a typical seme or uke. 3. The artwork really brought out the personalities and body language of each character. 4. It made me laugh; it made me cry. I think what struck me about this manga was how real it felt. There was nothing spectacular ...

The story was good and intriguing from the start. It's simply about love and the insecurities and betrayal that come along with it. Somewhat common, but threaded with the twists of a shounen ai story.
The art is incredibly clean, and, while it can look a bit simple or amateur, especially the casual facial expressions, it shines and has great moments. There is also a noticeable amount of understanding towards body language and facial expressions. They're breathtaking, really. The characters are some of my favorites. They're the quirky characters you see in the mainstream, pop manga, without being overbearing, if you get my drift. They are incredibly ...

I like the story.
Somehow I can understand Shima's concern that he doesn't want to repeat the same mistake like in his past, he wants to protect his heart. And I really like Togawa's persistent and an airhead as he is,I think it was needed to approach someone like Shima. At some point it was heartbreaking but I think it was needed for the progress of their relationship. I always love Yoneda Kou-sensei's artwork. It was always nice, clean and good. It was a short story but I can feel all the emotions that's flowing from the story. And romantic in some way. ...

The idea and base of this story was ok. I didn't think that Yoneda (the author) went the right way. This story was supposed to focus on Shima and Togawa, and she sort of left them behind when things just got started. At first it was all about sex, and when the love finally started blossoming, the attention went over to a completely different character ??? Why ?????? Whyyyy
Yoneda would have to add more to the characters in order to make them memorial. The only character I found interesting was Shima, but he still wasn't very out of the ordinary (in comparison to general manga ... |
