To start off, the cover of the book is really eye-catching! The cover having the characters with a simple setting and a blue sky is nice and simple just like the book itself. The art style of this book was lovely and pleasing to the eye.

I really enjoyed reading this story, it was delightful and sweet and not heavily dramatic. I really appreciate how the author wrote it. The author did a great job developing the relationship and characters. The relationship between the characters did not feel rush nor were we left feeling like it was being dragged. This story is definitely one that I will be re-reading often.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kodonsha comics for this amazing opportunity to review this wonderful story as well as receiving a copy of it!

Ah I really liked this. I like how we slowly got to find out more and more about their fated encounter and the factors laying behind. I think the story was told very well for being one volume.

Also these silly boys acting like enjoying movies is a rare hobby? "I have never met anyone who likes movies", hm what kind of people are you hanging around to have NEVER met anyone who is into movies? But I will let it slide as it gave us all the cute cinema scenes.

Overall it's just a cute light contained story, not to heavy on the drama and It leaves some room for potential expansion.

This was great! The Summer of You is about friends Saeki and Wataru who slowly become more. I really liked their relationship and how the story developed. After Saeki confesses to Wataru I really appreciated how the author wrote it. Wataru basically says he doesn't care Saeki likes him and would never ditch him because of it. With so many BL containing homophobia (a lot of it coming from the main love interest) this was a refreshing read. I think the author did a great job developing the relationship and characters and would definitely recommend.

What a refreshing read. Saeki and Wataru are two high school boys who have bonded over a shared interest: movies. When Saeki confesses to Wataru one day that he likes him, Wataru is surprised and confused. Throughout their Summer movie pilgrimage, Wataru thinks about his own feelings toward his friend and the possibility he might like him back.

I really liked this volume. It was softly dramatic in all the right ways. Wataru's open mindedness and straightforwardness make him really likable as a main character. The fact that the story doesn't get too dramatic and the two learn, finally, to communicate with each other makes this manga a solid read for me. Plus, I really like the art in this one.

The summer of you is a manga with a friends to lovers troupe. When Wataru finds out Saeki likes him he doesn’t freak out but neither excerpts his feelings. Saeki asks Wataru for one last favor. They both met at a movie store and bounded over seeing and talking about movies so Saeki and Wataru to go on a movie pilgrimage (going to see the places of the movie). With a beautiful art style this was an easy and enjoyable read.

So when it came to this book I jumped right in. Saw the word summer, its currently summer so I figured why not. I have to say that it was a pretty adorable book. Chiharu and Wataru are friends that bonded over a love for movies and with the summer getting closer they decided to visit a couple places that are in some of the films. It was cute seeing the sweet moments going on, there was very little light drama going on. It was interesting seeing what would become of Chiharu's confession and seeing how Wataru handling of it. This was just a sweet read I can't wait to see what's next for these two.

Chiharu is one of the most popular guys at school, and Wataru is shy and awkward.

At first glance, they seem like they have nothing in common, but the two of them connect over a mutual love of movies. However, when Chiharu confesses that he has a crush on him, Wataru doesn’t quite know how to respond. Chiharu tells him that it’s OK, he doesn't have to reciprocate those feelings, but he has one special request: that he they go on a journey together to various filming locations. Wataru agrees, but on their adventures, he begins to question their relationship. Are they still friends … or something more?

My Summer of You Volume 1 by Nagisa Furuya manages to beautifully capture a sense of longing and wistful nostalgia--so much so that you can practically hear Lana del Ray’s "Summertime Sadness" playing in the background.

It's an emotional, realistic portrayal of two individuals questioning and exploring their sexuality, and I really loved how natural their relationship grows within the span of the first volume.

Lastly, I do want to point out that My Summer of You will be only two volumes in total, so if you're looking for a short but bittersweet BL series to sink into, this is is definitely one I’d recommend checking out.

"To me… You will always be part of my summer.”

This is a stupidly cute manga.

Wataru Toda and Saeki Chiharu are high school students who bond over movies.
Saeki ends up confessing and after, they take a summer pilgrimage to visit places from movies they’ve seen. Will Toda requite the feelings?

I found myself so strongly into the characters that I was teary-eyed at some points! I had so much anticipating seeing Toda navigate his feelings for Saeki. Often times BL can come across so cheesy but, this is genuinely warm and heartfelt. Loved it!

Awww, I don't know why I love this kind of story so so much, but I adore them. This first volume it's very nice read, but also it's a very normal story, nothing new and special. But!!!! I can't resist to read it, I've enjoyed it so so much. It's super cute and lovely, and so sweet. This story is about Wataru and Saeki. Two boys who become friends, two boys who fall in love in the sweetest and cutest way.
I loved Saeki, he's so calm and quiet. Wataru is the opposite of him. But they match perfectly.
The pacing was a but fast for me, but again, the story is too cute and sweet, so it wasn't a big problem for me.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this beautiful book.

My summer of you is a beautiful and soft story about friendship and first love. In the first volume of this 2-volume series, Wataru and Chiharu are two high school friends who share a common interest in movies. Throughout this story we see how this friendship is transformed into something else, more and more they get together to go to the movies, and they even organize trips to visit locations where one of Chiharu's favorite movies has been filmed. Until they discover that they are united by something more than their interest in cinema.

It is a manga that I am delighted and excited about. I highly recommend it.

This was a cute, fluffy little comic that was sweet and enjoyable. It was quite simple but it suited the narrative and the style. Both of the main characters were cute and likable and the dialogue was great. I also really liked the artwork and felt it suited the story pretty well.

Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this to review.

This was an incredibly sweet romance manga! It gave me warm feelings reading this and both the main characters, Saeki and Wataru were adorable! Although quite short I enjoyed reading about their friendship as well as their developing relationship!

Thank you to Kodansha comics and Netgalley for this ARC

so soft and fluffy!!!

their friendship was so uniquely built by their favourite movies. i love how their friendship continue per usual even after the confession. Saeki being respectful of Wataru yet still flirting with him was so cute.

++ Wataru going after Saeki was a definite plus!

but that twist at the ending was unexpected. AAA what are the chances? it's fate!

Thanks to NetGalley for meeting this ... mostly bromance.
(For those who don't want to be shocked - the title is BL ... not that it doesn't show for miles), but at the same time it's mostly shonen-ai and there are no hardcore scenes to outrage. The manga tells the story of an endless summer and two peers. Just like the teen books by John Green (only those with a happy ending), they meet in a place they love, but did not expect to meet a special person there. They find that they have a lot in common. They have common experiences in the long summer days ... And that's enough.

The opinion is in Bulgarian, sorry for the translation errors. I am attaching a link.

It was a good romance bl, where Wataru discovers his true feelings after Saeki confesses to him (even with believing the feeling are not mutual). It looks like it will be a series with two volumes, I am interested how vol. 2 will continue their story and really hope it shows Wataru's promise to go see Saeki like one of the bonus stories did. I ended up getting the physical copy of this one too.

Quick summary:
Wataru and Saeki are friends, even though they are not in the same class; they started to hang out together after bumping into each other at a video story. After that they meet to share a common interest... movies. However, after asking Saeki if he likes someone, Wataru finds out it is him. Even though Saeki confessed, he wanted things to stay the same since Wataru would not have those type of feeling. His only request was for them to do a pilgrimage over summer break. Unfortunately, after summer break Wataru was not prepared for what happens and even figures out how he feels.

Two high school friends, Wataru and Saeki, are bonded together by their love of movies. Though they aren't in the same class, bumping into each other at a DVD store sparks a tradition of hanging out and going to the theater together, until one day Saeki confesses his feelings for Wataru. Despite Wataru insisting the confession doesn't bother him, things slowly start to change between them as they spend their summer vacation going on trips to locations from their favorite movies.

My Summer of You was a fluffy, cute read, and I enjoyed this manga! It's perfect for the summer and I liked watching Wataru and Saeki find themselves and explore their relationship through their travels. There was a refreshing realism to their dynamic post-confession that I really liked to see, and while I think Saeki does make some frustrating decisions, I was ultimately happy with the end and I'll be keeping my eye out for the second volume. Though the final chapter might have seemed far-fetched, based on everything else that had happened I took it as a sign they were meant to be together. 😊

❧ 3.75 ★

A huge thank you to Kodansha Comics and NetGalley for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review!

I loved this so much as I always do with any BL manga! This made me so nostalgic remember the days when I would binge read BL manga and manhwa until my eyes gave up on me so this definitely was my type of read but more on the cute and wholesome side.

This had that typical storyline present in a lot of BL/Shounen Ai mangas but it still never fails to make me swoon and emotional! I love that moment of bliss in their relationship when you see them transition from friends to lovers despite the awkwardness it entails because seeing them realize their true feelings for each other after multiple events is just satisfying! This had that perfect balance of swoony, heartwarming and angsty that leaves you tearing up!

I also enjoyed all the extra stories as they definitely added much more needed content from the main story!

Overall, if you love heartfelt love stories of friends falling in love or just BL then I highly recommend this!

I really enjoyed reading this. I read lots of comics but I hardly ever review them so this is a nice change of pace.

To start with, the cover is absolutely beautiful and I love the art style so much. I would love to own a physical copy of this book just so I could display it because it really is that pretty.

I really enjoyed the relationship between Saeki and Waturu and I thought it was very sweet but I would have liked to have seen a bit more development in regards to both of their characters (however if there is a second volume that is a problem that could easily be solved).

I was not a huge fan of the plot as I found that it was very simplistic and therefore was lapping depth in my opinion, so that was my biggest flaw of this book.

If the two main characters or even the side characters had been given more development, I would have easily given this 4 stars.

Overall, I did enjoy this as it was quick and easy, as well as being very sweet but I would not read it again.

The Summer of You was a sweet, slow-burn BL manga in which the story and action still moved along at a good pace. Chiharu and Wataru were both delightful characters who came across well, and their relationship was believable and nicely developed throughout. The illustration style, too, was pleasing, with all scenes highly legible and visually appealing. I would certainly been keen to read on in Volume 2. Recommended to fans of slow burn, contemporary BL manga. It gets 5 stars from me.

This is one of my favorite books of the year. A heartbreakingly beautiful story about first love and all the fears that come with it. Gorgeous art, wonderful characters, and a tale that will make you cry; this story is absolutely perfect.
