A very sweet lighthearted boy's love story about two college students who live next to each other. Both characters slowly start to realize how much they care for the other, and watching their relationship develop and get through misunderstandings is really nice. The contrast between naive countryside boy Nagi (who has never had cup noodles before!) and typical city boy Yuu makes them a good pair, as Yuu teaches Nagi all kinds of things about living in an urban setting.

this was so cute and wholesome! i really enjoyed this couple, and am looking forward to more volumes.

This was such a cute and charming manga. Love on the Horizon 1 follows two college students in Japan, who start off as next door neighbours and fall in love. The artwork is beautiful and the story was just so sweet. I also appreciated the translation notes to clarify common customs in Japan that might not be so common in other countries. Looking forward to picking up the second volume when it is released!

"if this is just a dream… i don’t ever want to wake up."

aww this was such a sweet manga! it was such a quick, cozy and wholesome read, i need volume 2 now! the art is stunning as usual (i wish i had the talent). i did feel like the story was rushed but it is a short manga so it's fine. overall, really enjoyed and highly recommend reading it!

˗ˋˏ ୨୧ thank you to NetGalley and Machi Yamashita for the digital arc in exchange for an honest review! ୨୧ ˎˊ˗

This is so much softer and sweeter than so many BL manga I've read, and I need more of it! This book made my heart feel so warm and cozy- a sweet romance between two college boys is so rare to find, and this one checks all the boxes for a great one. I can't wait to read more!

Ok this was adorable. There definitely could have been a little more development as they seemed to just like each other on sight with no real catalyst or progression to that initial like, but both characters were well established and had great chemistry. CUTE

Love on the Horizon Vol. 1 is a very cute BL college romance. We follow a sweet relationship as Nagi Kitagawa has a crush on Yuu Yamasaki, his neighbor. As they get to know each other, because of proximity, they quickly deepen their relationship. The art style is gorgeous and I'm looking forward to Vol. 2!

Thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was cute -- they both obviously liked each other before the other even confessed.~

However, they fell in love a bit quick...it felt rushed in that way. As much as I hate the cliffhangers like this, I think fleshing their love out more so we don't get to watch them fall in love with each other until the second volume would've been better.

thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the e-arc!!

i really need to cut down on my sugar intake this was so sweet? i'm a heavy angst reader and this didn't have much but i loved the fluff! the pining! everything!! it's such a straightforward love story between two neighbours, one who often carries the other home while drunk.

i don't normally like instalove but when it's Nagi i totally get it simply because Yu is just the nicest persom ever and he's so soft with him even when they just meet that i couldn't help but root for them. and yes, Yu is a bit oblivious but i absolutely love that he is the one who makes the first move. the misunderstanding in the middle about the (spoiler!!) drunk kiss was a bit painful to read but i loved that it got them together.

post canon them was literally the cutest. not the domesticity, the surprises and the calls when one is away. this has made me feel too single so i am giving this 5☆ for sure. keeping a look out for anymore of this series in the future~

ps. it helps that the art style is very cute too

Thank you so much to NetGalley for this early release copy of Love on the Horizon 1! This was such a sugary sweet, BL manga. This story is kinda set up like a prequel of events that have already happened via a flashback. I think the set up of the romance and how Nagi and Yu's relationship first started is such a unique and interesting take. I really liked how the story was woven and I cannot wait to see how they will continue to fall in love. The art style is beautiful and light/fluffy. I really feel like the tension and romance builds over time that makes it believable to me. I would say there's some almost NSFW scenes, but nothing is overly sexual, but definitely some STRONG suggestions :) I truly enjoyed it, it was short and sweet and left me itching for more! I cannot wait until the next volume!

The author's note said they were hoping it brought readers warmth and fuzziness and they achieved it!!! This was literally so cute, I was giggling the entire time. Need volume 2 right now!!!!

Love on the Horizon is a sweet BL romance between two college friends who are next door neighbors. Even though the story is short you can really feel the the characters like each other. This manga is ground breaking or anything but it is a really sweet fluffy read with beautiful artwork.

Really cute! Highly recommend. The artwork is beautiful and Yu and Nagi are adorable. It's so fun to see how oblivious they both are - and they have a great dynamic. Overall a really enjoyable read!

Just… BEAUTIFUL.
Both characters seem to me very well constructed, with their low and peaks. As well as the story, with moments of emotional depth and also lighthearted humor.
Also, the illustrations are gorgeous and really help to tell the story the author wanted to tell.
I CANNOT wait to read what the future holds for this story.
4.5 stars!!!

So fluffy and adorable!! I really love the characters and the happy joy they exhibit. I want to read more. Yu and Nagi are just the cutest! It gave me warm happy feels

Machi Yamashita’s Love on the Horizon is a charming, lighthearted BL manga that embraces the beloved friends-to-lovers trope. I’ve always enjoyed stories that take the time to build relationships naturally, and Yamashita does just that with Nagi Kitagawa and Yu Yamasaki. She crafts a straightforward yet well-developed, character-driven narrative that delivers exactly what readers look for in a manga of this genre.

The artwork is stunning and enhances the reading experience beautifully. The front cover immediately draws you in, but it’s the interior illustrations that truly bring the story to life, complementing the narrative and ensuring a smooth flow. While this is only the first volume, it had the feel of a complete one-shot. That said, I’m definitely looking forward to reading the second volume.

For me, this is a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

Love on the Horizon follows two college students who are good friends and next door neighbors, but realize later on they want more than that. I have a soft spot for characters like Nagi and the way Yuu treats him is so sweet! I'm a sucker for cute romances and the way this volume ended makes it already good for the plot, but I liked the main couple so much I'm glad I get to see them for another volume!

There is not much to say on this manga. It's not fantastically mind-blowing and there's not a whole lot involved in the plot, but it's undeniably cute.There are questionable elements, bIt's a pleasant one-shot that will help pass the time.

This was so sweet and adorable I was just kicking my feet the whole time. Seeing Yu slowly realize he actually and truly cares for someone absolutely melted my heart. I cannot wait for more from this series to be released.

Thanks to Kodansha Comics and NetGalley for this eARC. It is a lovely little BL story with nice art.
