It's overrrr~! ...I'm a little sad since it's been so long now since I finished the series myself I can't quite revel in this as I feel I should, hehehe. As to the ending...

Thank you for all your hard work!

Uchuu Kyoudai sounds the best.

Off*Beat sounds interesting, so thanks for directing me to the Fr version. (I strongly encourage those interested in Fr to get into manga. The sfx, not to mention exclamatory humour, are pure awesome. It's also all right to be interested in boys stalking boys, but that's a topic for another time. XD)

And since you said, I'll recommend anything by Matsumoto Taiyo and Fukumoto Nobuyuki for both reading and scanlation! Excellent. ♥

[narwhaltorte]

IT'S FINE. TORY'S INTENTIONS ARE PURE at first. Anyway, he's pretty adorable as stalkers go. So smart...and so lacking in vital areas of self awareness. HMM. ABE?!

Oh! I see that first one is the guy who did Tekkonkinkreet? I liked that movie and keep meaning to read the manga. Oooh, and another sports manga writer. Thank you for the suggestions, they look interesting!

[dark_viaticum]

Hahaha, verrrry interesting. XD

Yes, Matsumoto-sensei! He makes sports amazing. Ping Pong (there's an excellent live action) and Hanaotoko are a couple of my favourite series.

Oh, and sports manga/anime! Try Giant Killing. So absurdly suggestive. And anything by Morita Masanori. Seinen dressed as shounen (sports/comedy).

[narwhaltorte]

Haha, I think I watched a preview for that movie. (Couldn't find it around at the time, but maybe I should look again...)

I see people fangirling over Giant Killing on my flist, hehe. I've got the anime downloaded, but I've yet to watch it. But someday, someday...

THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your hard work with this long project *__*
^^and also for sharing your suggestions^^
I think the ending keeps in sync with the rest and it´s just the true beggining of their relationship as something more that friends^ It´s left to our imagination, but that´s not a bad thing ^_^

[narwhaltorte]

You're welcome! Yeah, I do like how it doesn't direct too much on where they're going from here. Being told "and then it was all butterflies and happiness for ever and ever" never comes off feeling real, hehe.

Thanks sooooo much for completing this manga ^^ I hope that you may consider doing Boy-love projects >.

[heehee11]

Wheeee! Thanks a bunch! I liked the whole story, though I'd have expected a more progressive 'falling in love' from Takashi's part, and I'm a bit sad that it just ends with a shy kiss from his part. I hoped to see them both in love, like one more chapter where they both kiss willingly or something. Thhough it's sweet!
Kotonoha scanlates some nice seinen too if you're looking for the same kind, though they've got some with more action in them too, you might have to fumble around a bit before finding what you want. 3 Gatsu no Lion is also nice.

[narwhaltorte]

Heh, now THAT'S what the omake should have been. *sniff* Though in a way I'm happy with an open-ended ending with regards to how their relationship will go from here... I guess I'm sad about the kiss because...it came off more as a gesture than something with strong feelings behind it? Even Tamio, who we know has strong feelings, only really had time to just be sort of shocked. I guess I wanted to see Takashi...in an awkward/embarrassed/fumbly state over his feelings for Tamio, even just once, just a little. The chapters where he was worrying about him and Tamio's crush were cute in that way sort of though...so I guess I'll try to take solace from that, hehe.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check out their site! (I see they have something from the author of Eden? I liked the first volume of that but I haven't had time to read the rest. Grrr. Maybe I can try this one, hehe.)

[heehee11]

Hmmm, I totally agree with you, I did like it when he was worrying, that's why I'm sad we only get that in the last volume, like the mangaka knew it was the last tank and knew it was time for THE end.
Enjoy looking through Kotonohas projects, they're nice (though I prefer those with action, Bokutachi was a bit of an exception for me, though I loved it!^^ And I do know the rest you mentionned, so maybe not actually... Dunno, comes in phases what I like ^^')
I've read Eden up to the 15th vol, and stopped there, some ppl told me I stopped just at the right moment, that after it became less interesting. And I did read some one-shots by the mangaka that I really enjoyed, though I can't remember if it was from kotonoha. Probably yes. See you!

Friends vs. shounen-ai

Sometimes, the only difference between friends and shounen-ai is the kiss at the end.
Some real life friendships are real close too.
