Manga Monday #1

I've actually been thinking for a while that I wanted to do Manga Monday, both to get this blog more active and as an excuse to read more manga.  So here's the first in an on-going meme, I hope!


Café Latte Rhapsody by Touko Kawai

Summary:
A bookstore employee, Serizawa - a short, comical, and adorable young man - spots Keito - a immensely tall and intense-eyed man - in the store. It was a love at first sight for Serizawa! However, Serizawa realizes that Keito is extremely shy and meek. What's holding him back? Can Keito overcome his shyness and show his true feelings?

So the summary kind of sucks.  Cafe Latte Rhapsody is actually a lighthearted manga about two men falling in love, taking care of kittens, and enjoying cafe lattes.  I decided to start doing this meme with this one because it's my favorite manga right now, and has been since I read it.  There's drama near the end because of Seri's lack of confidence in himself, but for the most part, it's an easy, light read for when you just want to feel good!  And the art is cute.  If you don't read yaoi manga, it's certainly an easy way for you to get into them; there's one short sex scene around the middle of the book.

Also the drama CD is adorable.  Even if you don't understand Japanese.
