One of the best yaoi romances out there!

My friends and I all agree: this manga is outstanding! Well-developed dialogue and plot make for a truly heartwarming story! I know if I ever feel depressed, all I have to do is look through Our Everlasting and I instantly get that warm fuzzy feeling inside that can only come from a great romance such as this! Highly recommended to all romantics out there!

This is a sweet Story

I loved this story. There were parts to the story from both characters that the reader can really relate to. Its a beautiful story of not wanting to be alone and finding a love that accomadates that desire.

touching and sweet

i've been a fan of toko kawai for quite a while now. her characters are very human and flawed, but that's what makes them memorable and real to readers. in "our everlasting," two very different college students find themselves deeply in love. however, despite the attraction, they are nothing more than just close friends. this volume slowly follows the changing landscape of their relationship, starting from being friends into something more. the one-shot included is an interesting love story about a teacher with a serious medical problem and his aggressive suitor. kawai-sensei's art is light and pretty with a modern touch. the illustrations are well-done and dynamic. her men are slender, not muscled and buff, but really nice to look at. some might be androgynous, but you won't mistake them for girls. kawai-sensei manages to express her characters' feelings and emotions with her deft handling of facial movements. lovely. the love story of horyu and shouin has to be one of the sweetest and loving you'd ever come across. their insecurities, attachment and depth of their love are explored in a realistic way that still somehow feel very 'pure'. it's also interesting that horyu and shouin doesn't really behave in the typical seme/uke convention - they really do balance out each other. shouin's willfulness and 'selfishness' also adds an interesting facet to the story. in a way, this manga isn't a typical yaoi manga. it really emphasizes the growth of a love relationship as well as that of the parties involved. the characters aren't perfect and struggle with many of the same problems a normal person does, but that is the charm and strength of this manga, in my opinion. an atypical love story with a mature outlook of life. one of the best yaoi romances out there.

Don't miss this !

All 2 stories are well done. Miss Toko Kawai is one expressive Yaoi writer/artist. In the first story, the scenes could be hotter and more explicit (The writer does explain at the end why this is not the case...). But the tender and touching love story more than makes up for it and there is an innocence in the 2 characters which I find endearing. Let's hope the continuation of their love story in Volume 2 will be wilder. The 2nd story line is great too and the love scenes are more explicit. It may be a familiar plot of teacher and student in love. But there is a maturity in the characters which I like. I hope this is not a stand alone story as there is much Miss Kawai can do for these 2 characters. Definitely looking forward to Volume 2.

Refreshingly human

I really enjoyed this manga, actually. It's comforting to find good slash where the charcters are well balanced and human. This manga volume contains two stories: the first one involves a college romance between an outgoing, funloving surfer guy and a shy, academic guy who's been burned once before; the second story centers around a man who has mostly given up on life after learning that his heart condition is likely to be untreatable. Neither story is trite, and the characters are all very unique and well drawn. The stories are humorous and heart-warming, and the boys are quite fanciable.
