Good morning, yaoi lovers! This week's selection is Megane to Koi to Aoi Tori by Natsukawa Shiori!
Kei, who loves to read shoujo manga and romance novels, is a high school student yearning for love. However, he understands that his unpopularity doesn’t make him fated for love. If he were just as handsome as his childhood friend, Kiyoshi, love would probably come easily… Thinking of this, Kei gets envious of Kiyoshi.
I really enjoyed this short, but sweet, manga! It follows the nerd/popular best friends trope almost to the letter, but at the same time, it doesn't feel stale. Kei's desire to just be liked and go on a date was a little heartbreaking, but Kiyoshi always made sure, since childhood, to look out for his best friend and let him know that he was a great person who deserved loved and affection.
If you're in the mood for a quick read that's low on angst and high on the "aww" scale, check this out!
