Seven Days (Manga)

Even though this is Shonen-ai this is a very interesting story. The cover really made me open this manga and i'm glad I did.

Art: The art is clean and crisp.

Plot: Seryou goes out with anyone who asks on mondays, but by the end of the week, ends the relationship because he does not find love. Shino seems to want to find a meaningful relationship, but gets dumped because his personality does not match his image. The catch is that they have only looked at women as mates and Shino asks out Seryou as a joke but didn't think he was serious.

The first two chapters give promise of not a highly dramatic series but of subtle strategies of getting closer and getting to know each other.

Character: They are both cool characters, that do not say everything they have on their minds. Neither of them are the dense stereotypes or forceful males that have to dominate. It gives promise of a mature and intellectual relationship that is not only fruitful but very interesting for the reader. They both seem to have equal control over the relationship so far and are feeling each other out.

I enjoyed this piece as a well drawn, well edited piece, where not every emotion is displayed and hopefully it will not turn into something more cliche. This story made me want more and I will have to wait for more chapters.. read more

I started reading because of the art. But the story is what really kept me going. Fantastically crafted story of love and school life. Hilarious too.
