Afuresouna Pool By Ishihara Satoru

The story of this manga is quite good though I think the genre is more on shounen-ai than yaoi. But for a yaoi lover like me, I like the manga even though the love scenes were only few. I thought at first that I might get bored of it because it has 6 volumes however it get more interesting as the story progressed and how the each character’s personality collided each other. I sometimes got confused with the characters because some seems to look the same but later on I became keen to distinguish who is who. For the overall rating, I can say that the mangaka did a good work. So, to those who are interested in school-life love affair of two difficult men, please read this series!

Regardless of those two, I like the supporting character Hikone. LOL. You’ll meet him if you’re going to read this manga. :>

Summary from Mangafox:

Iriya Tetsuo was the nice, quiet kid that everybody knows. Until well-meant prodding on the part of Hanada Satoshi made him choose the 'easy' way out. He purposely failed the entrance exam to a good school, and picked fights so that he wouldn't have to be around Hanada anymore.

The last thing he expected or wanted was for strong-willed Kizu Ryouji to show any interest in him. The sparks fly between the two, while Iriya's best friend Kasuga Ryouta watches jealously...
