RightStuf Synopsis:
After fleeing Tokyo trying to escape a personal crisis, hapless
Itaru winds up drunk and passed out on a neighborhood trash heap. His
misery is documented by prickly cameraman Kouki, who works for a local
cable station, and soon the two end up roommates and co-workers. But
with a company full of quirky characters, including a perky, winsome
crossdresser, and their own personalities to contend with, will Itaru
and Kouki ever truly understand one another? Story and art by Hinako
Takanaga.
Review:
This was just
a pretty average story. The artwork is not as great as Awkward Silence, though all right.
This one is about a
photographer who ends up taking in a stray—a guy who has no place left to go,
and ends up staying with the photographer. He ends up working for their cable
company, then getting a job of his own, and stays as a roommate. The
photographer has a female friends who was nice, and pushy enough for them.
The romance is very
slow here, especially since the photographer doesn’t think he has any interest
in men. But I liked the stray, and I really felt for him at one point. The plot
is slow, and the romance is just starting to develop when the book ends.
Overall, it was
okay. The storyline and characters didn’t really grab me, but it was a nice
book. I hope to pick up more of Takanaga’s previous books, and I hope some of
them are better.
