The Summer With You (My Summer of You Vol. 2) (SUMMER OF YOU GN)

This is a really sweet manga, and the art is really beautiful. You won't find a manga full of sexy scenes, so if you want a more PG one, this is for you. Chiharu Saeki and Wataru Toda are two high school students who find that they both have the same hobby. They bond over their love for movies. One day, Saeki confesses to Wataru that he likes him but is fine with them staying friends, but he has one condition. He wants to spend his summer with him going on a pilgrimage to movie locations from their favourite films. I like that Saeki just wanted to remain friends and not push his view onto Wataru. I hate when one character forces their love onto them, so I loved the way it was done here. As they go on their trips together, they start to learn more about each other, and Wataru starts to become aware of Saeki more. It moves a long at a good pace. Then, when we get to chapter 4, so many things Saeki said and did make sense. I felt bad for Wataru then, but it gave him a reason to truly evaluate what Saeki meant to him. The letter in the last chapter explained how they first met, and it was so sad reading it. One thing, though, at the end was a bit hard to believe. I loved reading this beautiful story, and I'm off to read volume 2!I received a copy of this book from NetGalley, and this is my honest review!
