Same Cell Organism

by Sumomo Yumeka

Nakagawa and Yokota are two boys very much in love with each other. Yokota is more open with his feelings, but Nakagawa is easily embarrassed of public displays of affection. Though they may be outwardly different, their feelings for each other are the same -- their connection is such that they liken themselves to Do-Seibutu (Same-Cell Organisms).

Customer Reviews

Sweet and Charming

Same Cell Organism surpassed my expectations. The stories in this manga were sweet and charming. Starting with the first story of Nakagawa and Yokota. The emotion expressed through the breathtaking and clean artwork to the story lines enraptured me from the start. Very good and highly reccommended to Yaoi fans!!

Making everyone a little happier...

I had never heard of this author before (whom, it seems, writes under several names) but I fell in love with this anthology of short stories and am now a huge fan. The artwork is gorgeous and the storytelling wonderful. This manga is not, as the cover implies, yaoi. It is Shounen-ai, with only a few kisses,but shounen-ai at it's best. The first story is about two friends who fall in love and it's incredibly heart-warming. The next story is very bittersweet, but great and there are several more stories. Overall, this book won't change your life, but it will make it a little bit brighter.

Same Cell Organism

I really enjoyed these stories. The boys were more normal or real then most comic characters. The issues they faced were real and handled in such a loving manner. The other short stories in the books were also good but not as good as the title story. The eyes of the boys were so well drawn that you could understand their thoughts just looking at them. I recommend for anyone.

A lovely collection of shounen-ai stories.

Enjoy all 4 stories in this collection and this mangaka's graceful artwork is simply gorgeous. The first story of the same title leaves me warm and fuzzy, eventhough the 2 boys do nothing obvious other than hugging, cuddling and kissing (and they do it very well! grin...) The second story, "A letter in the attic" is my favorite. This tender and touching short story brought a tear to my eyes with its unexpected sadness. The third story on the love between a human (a boy with long hair but he does not look feminine) and an angel is unique and her beautiful drawings of the angels with their wings is something to behold. The last story is comically sweet. This is a wonderful collection of shounen-ai stories. Do not miss this even if you are just into Yaoi.

A wonderful BL

The reason I first picked up Same Cell Organism was because of its wonderful art. It's not a carbon copy of the same style you see in a lot BL/yaoi manga. It's very clean and very cute. The stories themselves follow suit; they're all very cute and sweet, a few of them even bittersweet and a tad bit sad. But I personally enjoyed them all (there are seven chapters and four seperate stories). This manga isn't graphic yaoi, just BL (Boy's Love). So if you're looking for something graphic and more on the smutty side, remove one star from this review. If you're a fan of BL though, pick up this manga. It's well worth the money.
