Product Description
Being normal is every high school student's dream. But in an all boys school where 90% of the students are gay, being abnormal is something Nanase strives for with a passion! With his heterosexual buddy Heiji, the only other straight guy in school, as an oasis, he finds himself dodging advances from the "normal" students in his class.

 High School Fun!!! August 13, 2008
J. Gebhard (CA USA)
Ok, it is very cliche but I loved the idea of two supposed straight boys getting together at a 90% gay/bi high school for boys only. The plot is pretty standard where the fake relationship between the two boys becomes a genuine relationship. However, by vol 2, the author does tend to be more original. In vol 2, I really liked (and I'm quite surprised by this) the argument and clumsiness that results from the two boys vying for sexual position. The introduction of the classic big brother is also somewhat contrived, but does create some interesting moments where the uke must be open about his sexual orientation.
The cast of supporting characters also saves this work. The school doctor, the best friend who will sleep with anyone, the rejected uke, and others make it interesting to see what happens around the main characters. The side stories with the rejected uke are perhaps the best and I wished that he had his own yaoi series.
Lastly, there are limited edited sex scenes, but plenty of cute kissing scenes and warm moments between the two boys. These moments are really good and well timed. They made the fan girl in me happy.
There is also an additional bonus story that is ok. Personally, I wouldn't have bothered to include it, since it is not yaoi or even shounen-ai. The work is more there than anything.
Typical but interesting storylines April 9, 2008

Several stories here. The first with the title characters (Nanase and Heiji) is the typical, I know what I want and am going to do what I need to get it. The second related story line is about the school doctor, his cousin (friend of Nanase), and another student who likes the cousin. The doctor tries to tell the student that his cousin is a player but he has to learn it the hard way it seems. There is a five page story just stuck in there not sure of it relevance. The stories are just BL, though they have adult themes (one guy talks with another about being seme or uke) and "doing it". I liked it but if your looking for intimate encounters or hardcore look elsewhere.
