User Reviews For: Koimonogatari: Love Stories

I saw a review of someone complaining about this title not being a "love story," but I think it is. It's a story about love and the different types of love you'll find in your life, specially when you're growing up and learning about yourself. That being said, it IS a slow burn, and before getting some romantic development, we get two amazing volumes with so much character development and amazing characters that give more depth and realism to the story. It's a story about learning to love yourself, how loving yourself allows you to love other people and how the relationships with them also shape you and your relationship with yourself. The friendships and characters are very wholesome.I might be biased because I love this title and joining the characters in their journey has been rewarding. So if you can afford it, and you like slow burns with lots of plot and character development, I can't recommend it enough!

Total waste of time. Literally nothing happened. It's called “Love Stories”, but no one falls in love. I kept waiting for the two main characters to even just acknowledge feelings for the other, and it never happened. There wasn't even an ending. I'd rate it 0 stars, if I could.

This was refreshing. It's exactly like the summary says. They become friends. It feels realistic. But, as friends, there is no love scenes, no kissing, not even a blush. So, if you are reading this for a spicy romance you will be disappointed.

If you are a lover of slow burn and the type of love where you just feel so comfortable and at peace with someone that you find yourself to freely speak to them and feel heard then this is for you. If you want smut or quick and dirty then this is not your type of book. This isn't your typical slow burn as it builds off of two volumes of honesty and rawness to get to the juicy feelings. I personally cannot wait for the third volume to drop! The great thing about this romance is that it gives us all the ingredients for a healthy love. First, one must accept oneself and something that plays a great role in that is having a good support system. This manga is all around good feels with well written genuinely good characters. This series is definitely going in my top best BLs that matched my views, made me feel not so alone, and gave me hope for true, genuine love.
