katikat | Shinobu Gotoh's "Takumi-kun: June Pride" (manga), #114

Review: Not a bad manga - but also nothing special. Rather forgettable. The narrative seemed choppy and disjointed, some parts didn't make sense, the artwork was average. The most interesting thing was Takumi's confession to Gie, when Takumi told his boyfriend about what happened to him that made him afraid to be touched and alienated him from his parents. I was rather surprised by the revelation. Such trauma isn't exactly common in BL manga and usually, it's glossed over, it doesn't have any consequences.
