You can read this in just one day -or let's say within a short time period- trust me!
If you like Yaoi(BL) this will absolutely catch you as it did for me.

There are a few aspects that back up my opinion. On the one hand it is the unique story/plot and on the other hand the character design. You won't have the typical "trust-issue" arc as in "you looked at another man, we'll break up", which I find mostly annoying, and the MC won't deny having interest in man. It is amazing how open-minded the characters are, as for it has grated LGBTQ representation. No ... one gets judged by their preferences.

Speaking about the character design. Look at the cover pls. Isn't he just pretty? But so are all the other characters. Not only by their looks. As mentioned, they seem very open-minded and welcoming. They appear like people you wouldn't mind being friends with.

Another aspect, which makes it fun to read, is, that the whole cast shares one and the same hobby. Reading their exited and passionate conversations makes you feel like wanting to be part of it. Or you just feel exited for them. Not needing to mention that everyone still is their own person and has own motivations and goals. Most of them are pretty round characters, most of them develop in some ways. For one, it might be opening up to some person and for another it might be realizing your true self.

As a perfect match, the art style underlines their prettiness, cuteness and whatsoever. It feels like, the heaviest focus went into the hair. It looks lively and if you are reading in high resolution or a physical copy you can see the voluminous looking details. A huge plus point for my rating.

And last but not least. The "romantic" scenes are just amazing. The development between the two characters made it even better, them going step by step. It will make your heart pound if you truly want to read this manga.

So all in all, it is a 10/10 for me.
It had me all hooked up, and I even feel like reading it again, as everything amazed me. I still think about the plot line and some elements from time to time. Even after 24 days.

Feel free to give it a shot and enjoy reading!

This is my first review ever and its a very short review.
So far i really love this manga it has the perfect combination (just the right amount of hot scene's, lovable characters and not alot of useless dialog). I like the relationship between the two main characters ( Haiga - the caring, strong and talented top and Kanae - the really hot and shyish bottom. One thing i do hate about this manga is that it only publishes a chapter once a month, but besides that its one of my fav yaoi manga. That is it for now ... thank you for reading.

This manga was nothing short of amazing. Since this is my first review, I don't know how helpful this would be but hang in there, I've got some good stuff to talk about this manga.

- Character design: I started reading this manga for Ryo but I really enjoyed the general character design of it too much to drop it. I usually go for the mangas with character designs I would like and Pink Heart Jam certainly didn't disappoint. The way Haiga was portrayed was beautiful and he soon became my favourite character, along with Ryo (sorry not ready to let him go yet).

- Plot: ... I wasn't expecting the plot to be so goooood. MAL clubs it under the school genre but it's actually based in college and events around it. I liked how open-minded the concept of this manga was, and how everyone is so accepting of each other. Even though it was 11 chapter manga, I really really enjoyed reading every single bit of it.

- Characters: Haiga was the perfect cinnamon roll ML for a cool Ryo. I actually liked the calm vs confused dynamic between the two a little too much. The other characters were also pretty well written too and you can feel their personalities pretty clearly.

- NSFW content: Yes there are some racy scenes in this manga but the best part about this was that it was all CONSENSUAL. I've not read a lot of mangas but it's difficult to find consensual sex in mangas. I usually find a lot of reluctant, or even plain-out nonconsensual scenes, and if that's something you're into, good for you, but those aren't my cup of tea. You also don't have to read a lot of 'no', 'stop' or something along those lines in Pink Heart Jam. The MLs only took an enthusiastic yes as the only cue to start getting raunchy. Another thing I dislike about most of the mangas I have read is that after a couple of sex scenes, the characters suddenly fall in love. The reason that Pink Heart Jam has an amazing plot is because it's well thought-out and even though sex is a part of it, it isn't the main focus of it.

- Sequel and other works: I went into this manga almost blindly without any context but after reading it, I found that it was cancelled???? But by the time I read this, the mangaka has announced a sequel (SO EXCITED) that's releasing this month and the official English volume for it will be announced in 2024. I'm going to read the other works by the mangaka because it's not easy to find a good story which suits my preferences and Pink Heart Jam was all that and much more!

I appreciate you sparing your time for my two cents on Pink Heart Jam. See you around!
