Special Spotlight: Visual Novels

In light of the long academic break I'll be having due to my recent week-long class suspensions, I decided to write as much as I could in this duration to make up for the past deadlines I barely made through. However, this time, I want to take a break from the manga reviews for a little commercial—a little spotlight for the other media of BL: visual novels, anime, and of course manga. And so with this idea in mind, I thought up an outline for the proceedings of this small project, which can be found here.

For this blog post, I'll be putting one of the major contributors of yaoi to the spotlight: visual novels. Keep in mind that these little highlights will only be short descriptions and reasons for recommendation, so I won't be going into detail with analyses and the like. And I'll try my best not to ramble too much that they end up as long as my usual in-depth reviews.

New Beginnings (晴れてボクたちは) by Yamamoto Kotetsuko

I'm going to start by saying that Yamamoto Kotetsuko is one of the several mangaka whom I have read most if not all of their works because I trust their skills and have not been disappointed so far in terms of art style and plots. Although I will admit, her stories have at one point been too common for me that they weren't very memorable, but nonetheless they remained enjoyable in its simple form and never actually went "wrong".
