Preliminary (23/? chp)
A BL manga that uses BL manga as a way to connect the characters. Interesting idea I guess.

Sasaki to Miyano is among the more slow paced shounen-ai. In this case, that’s not bad, as it gives the characters more time to feel real and less like a walking fanservice. Unlike the usual procedure, the pairing doesn’t get together and to business immediately. It even takes a while to show that this is, in fact, a BL title.

As usual with such manga, the main demographic is pretty much the only demographic, as if you don’t enjoy boy’s love, there isn’t much for you to enjoy here. But on the contrary to usual quality of BL work, this one isn’t offensively bad and I can see why someone would enjoy it. The characters aren’t walking cliché, the plot doesn’t feel forced, the interaction are likely cute to the intended spectators and the art doesn’t look like it was drawn by a meth addicts who thinks Slenderman is the paragon of human anatomy.

The least believable part is that the manga wants us to believe that someone who’s not into boys would want to read BL just because it’s fun. Because let’s face it, overwhelming majority of BL are complete trash and you definitely aren’t reading them for the plot, as popular that excuse is. Well, it probably didn't surprise anyone that the supposedly not gay protagonist might in fact be gay at least to some extent.

Overall, if you’re a fujoshi who doesn’t require explicit slash and is fine with some more sane content, go for it.
