This was a very cute story of two college students, Nagi and Yuu, who become friends after discovering they're neighbours. Yuu has a habit of getting blackout drunk so Nagi often has to help him home, which does him no favours when he's got secret crush on him!
If you like Heartstopper you'll love this! It has yearning like I Cannot Reach You and Blue Flag, but there's payoff in volume 1 which I very much appreciated!

a heartwarming, adorable, and brilliant manga! this is a collage age LGBTQ+ must-read. we follow nagi kitagawa - a shy art major who falls for his neighbour, yuu yamasaki. after yuu drinks too much at a club meeting, nagi helps him home. back at his apartment, yuu doesn’t let go of nagi and promptly falls asleep. the next morning, nagi sneaks out without yuu noticing - but leaves with a crush.

with relatable characters, steamy moments, and hilarious situations—i couldn’t stop smiling the entire time!

trigger warnings: non-graphic sexual content, minor alcohol consumption.

I really enjoyed this story. Nagi and Yuu are great characters with very different personalities that work well together. Although I would have preferred a slower development of their relationship—to better enjoy those situations that often arise in stories where the feelings of one of the protagonists seem one-sided—I must admit that I didn't dislike the pace chosen for the story. This first part is an excellent introduction to the characters and the first stage of their relationship. I'm definitely eager to read the second installment.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for providing this e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

What a sweet book!
A classic and fluffy friends-to-lovers slice of life series which is bound to leave you smiling :). Or at least I know it did for me!
This was a very low conflict book with only a mild misunderstanding and all the characters were quite enjoyable.
Looking forward to the next volume.

This manga was cute but perhaps a little too short in my opinion. The characters did not have a meeting in this volume and already had an established relationship before the story even started and it was a little unexpected. There was also not a lot of the relationship developing that we got to see. The timeline jumped frequently to where we only saw 3 glimpses into their relationship once they got together and those were only a couple pages long altogether. I hope, in future volumes, there is more continuity in the relationship and we get to see it develop more real-time and not through flash-forwards where we are being told how it develops and actually get to see it. That being said, Nagi and Yu-san were so adorable and I loved how they were navigating this first time relationship (first for Nagi, first with this level of feelings for Yu-san) together and I'm looking forward to the future volumes.

This is a very nice, lighthearted read that you can finish in under an hour. Personally, the two characters have a very sweet romance and no difficult obstacles stopping them from getting together. It is very cute and romantic. if you like where the two lovers get together without any struggle and end up happy together by the end, then this is perfect for a cute, quick romance. The art is also very nice and pleasing to look at while reading the manga. The humour in this and the expressions are also very nice as well. Personally, I would like my romance to have a bit of conflict and for there to be more yearning.

I was really looking forward to this and, unfortunately, I was ultimately disappointed. I couldn't feel connected to the characters. the relationship felt hollow and rushed, the side characters weren't memorable, and the timeline was confusing. It wasn't all bad, though, and at least the side characters can be developed more throughout he volumes.

This is a lighthearted standalone story - I’d say one shot type but over actually one volume; the main story is completed so I suspect v.2 is either extras or some side pairing, I cannot say I am interested enough to continue. The art was the best kind, handsome and emotionally evocative, character design slick, the story without much drama in it, but simultaneously without much tension either.

This was very cute and sweet!
I would love to read more from this world 🥰
The drawings were so beautiful too all throughout 😍

Very cute! Looking forward to seeing more of the characters. The friend groups were fleshed out, and I thought that their art majors were a unique touch.

This was really cute and sweet. Definitely lighthearted with no drama. Both MCs are adorable to the point you want to carry them in your pocket to keep them both safe lol. It got a little spicy toward the end but still close door spice. I liked the progression of the relationship, sometimes you dust want something fast paced and wrapped up in a single book. This was perfect.

3.5 stars

I picked up the ARC of this because it was called "perfect for fans of My Ultramarine Sky, Number Call, Given, and The White and Blue Between Us" on NetGalley. I have loved and hated some of these titles. So I wasn't too sure what I was getting into.

I will say that this is a BL that is very cute and wholesome with no dubious consent, which I wholeheartedly appreciate. I really liked that we could see both sides of the story and how these characters felt about the other.

However, some of this happens before the story starts and so I didn't feel like I got enough development for my liking. It was very cute, but I was just wishing for more.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing the E-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A quick but adorable and wholesome BL. This is perfect if you're looking for something short and sweet. The art is great, and there's so unnecessary drama—just lots of fluff and some heat. ;)
Thank you Netgalley for this e-Arc

This was such a cute lil romance manga, perfect to get me invested and back into reading after a slump! It was so adorable and I hope I can grab the next volumes soon!

Thank you to NetGalley and Kodansha for the copy of the e-book!

This title surprised me because I expected it to be a typical BL story and it does give that vibe. However, it shifts to being a very wholesome series about two people who like each other but are unsure if the other will accept them. In Love on the Horizon, we follow Nagi and Yuu both college students and neighbors. Nagi immediately falls for Yuu after their first encounter and willingly supports him when he is drunk and needs help to get home. While he thinks his crush is unrequited, Yuu is also contemplating his feelings for Nagi and not wanting it to break up their friendship. This volume was a quick read and I am intrigued to see how it continues to develop the main relationship. If you like BL stories without smut, this will be the perfect read for you.

5.0 Stars!

Just the cute, sappy, romance book that I didn't know I needed to read! I read it from start to finish without stopping! I fully enjoyed it and will read it again!

Love on the Horizon by Machi Yamashita
Such a sweet low angst read. I really liked the art style and loved watching Yuu and Nagi navigate their feelings for each other. There was a barely there misunderstanding which is quickly resolved. Overall just a heartwarming, cute read.

Thank you Netgalley for this e-Arc

This is a cute romance. I enjoyed it. I will say I didn’t care for how quick they were to fall in love and everything. I enjoyed it thought and this was a super quick read!

Perfect manga for those new to BL! Very wholesome and sugary sweet, features to MCs that are so obviously in love with each other!

If you love blushing boys, first dates, a bit of humor and very minimal angst, I definitely recommend this one to you! It’s not reinventing the wheel or doing anything new, but it offers a soft respite and sometimes that’s enough!

I’ll definitely be checking out volume 2 !

To say I love this series is an understatement. I initially stumbled upon this manga last year when it was serialized in Chinese. And of course, it was amazing. Nagi Kitagawa and Yuu Yamasaki are super cute and reading about them warms my soul. I've reread it at least three times now and I still love it... undeniably one of my top BLs! If you enjoy...
- giggling randomly/in the middle of the night
- blushing/gushing like crazy
- internal screaming
- slice of life

Then this manga is for you. I had no idea it's been officially serialized in English until seeing it on netgalley. Since I've already purchased all the available volumes in Japanese and Chinese, I will definitely be getting the English hard copies. Thank you so much to netgalley and Kodansha Comics for providing the arc in exchange for a honest review. All opinions are my own.
