Manga 19266 Ameiro Paradox

Since this manga is ongoing (12 chapters out right now), my opinion on it may change. But since there are no other reviews I thought I should write one.

The story follows a journalist and a photographer at a company in a classic rivals-turned-frenemies story. However, despite its cliche premise, I did enjoy the story and especially its characters. The mangaka has an interesting sense of humor and keeps the story moving along quickly. Onoe and Kaburagi's relationship feels natural and not forced like in some other BL manga.

The art is clean and nice to look at, so no complaints there. The character's expressions are ... quite nice and each character is distinct and memorable in my opinion.

Overall, I enjoyed this manga (so far). I picked it up after reading two of the mangaka's other works, Doushiyoumo Nai Keredo and Tight-Rope. If you're looking for a light-hearted, comedic series I recommend giving this one a try.

I'm up to date with the manga so I'll update it whenever. This is my all time favorite BL of all time. Literally. It's so perfect in every way possible.

Unlike most BL's that may mainly focus on sex or so, this one is more like a normal seinan/josei romance. It's not overly cute or anything, everything in this series is balanced, and just in all the right ways possible. Neither of the top or bottom parties are overly masculine or overly feminine. Everything is nicely balanced, just the perfect type. The art is wonderful as well, doesn't make them look extremely pretty or buff. ...

The story starts with Onoe, having a rather bad week after finding out his girlfriend started going for some other guy, only to then be put in the same pair as said guy, they work for a magazine company. Soon after a few times, Onoe learn about the other guy, Kaburagi. Due to Onoe's honest personality, Kaburagi falls for Onoe since he doesn't think he;s ever really met someone as honest as Kaburagi. Things go on from there and focus on the two after they get together and such. The story stays perfectly balanced as life goes on for the two of them. where the couple faces several challenges and so on. I'd say give it a read, there's no harm.

My favorite BL of all time! So ofc I gave 10 for this manga. But for the sake of this review, I'm gonna try to be as objective as possible.

-Art-
I won't call it beautiful cuz the drawing is sometime kinda stiff and the coloring is so-so. HOWEVER, for some reason I really enjoy the art. I'm quite picky for the art when it comes to BL, but Idk why I really like the author's drawing. It might cuz I'm a fan of her tho. So it's kinda biased.

-Story-
Tbh the beginning was really ridiculous. The way they started to fall in love wasn't natural at all. ... They're not even gay to begin with. It's so weird that they just suddenly fell in love cuz they're working together for some time. Well, that's how romance develops in most BL lol. But their relationship after they're getting together was funny and enjoyable to follow. The conflicts they had to deal were just everyday problems between lovers. They're nothing new and special but how the author delivered the story was really nice.

-Character-
I love them! They're the funniest BL couple I've known. They have a bickering love relationship. I also like the characters cuz I'm a sucker for tsundere uke. I'm sorry but I can't be completely objective for this one lol

-Overall-
You may love this manga if:
- you're into BL (I don't think people who don't read BL would enjoy it)
- you like bickering couple
- you like funny and light story

You may like this manga or you may not like it. For me, I reaally love it. I honestly don't really understand why I love it, so I can only conclude that people will love or not love this manga depending on their preference. Try reading it and see for yourself.
