I ❤ Yaoi: Escape Journey by Ogeretsu Tanaka

Good morning, yaoi lovers! This week's feature is Escape Journey by Ogeretsu Tanaka!

In college, Naoto has an unexpected reunion with ex-boyfriend Taichi who he broke up with for claiming their relationship was for sexual release only. Naoto has been carrying this old resentment, but little by little his heart is starting to forgive Taichi, who has really grown compared to their time in high school. All the while, their friend Fumi-chan seems to have fallen in love with Taichi. As friends, they have extraordinary compatibility, but turning it into love isn’t going too well. 

This is a sweet story about former boyfriends who slowly rekindle their friendship and love for one another. I really enjoyed the drawings, especially Naoto's exuberant expressions. There is a little angst in the story, but nothing too overwhelming. Occasionally I found myself a little lost because things would happen so rapidly when switching from scene to scene. I recommend this if you're looking for a nice, relatively uncomplicated read.
