Summary:
Kai and Ren have been good friends ever since they got assigned to the same homeroom in middle school. They spent years sharing classes and enjoying their time together. Yet it isn’t until they’re separated that they realize something else may be going on.
They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. It can also make you realize your true feelings. Neither Kai nor Ren was prepared for this realization – or the implications. Worse, they won’t know if it’s mutual until one of them is brave enough to broach the subject.
Review:
Another endearing and slow-burn romance! My Ultramarine Sky is very genuine and sweet, as two teenagers realize their friendship is actually something more. You love to see it happen (especially when it goes well).
There’s a lot to appreciate in this one. Mainly, I adored the characters. Kai and Ren are a lot of fun, as are their friends. We’re talking about a great support system – one that admittedly also has a good sense of humor.
I love that My Ultramarine Sky basically shows both perspectives of the story. I feel like that was essential, especially given how otherwise short this story was (will there be more? I have no idea).
Highlights:
- Manga
- Romance – Yaoi
- LGBT – M/M Romance
