Nasu Yukie: Sorekara doshitano? Koneko-chan

For a brief while I considered writing something about Yoake mae, bokura wa ... which is another one of Nasu Yukie's recent BL tankobon, but then I thought, "Why? Why would I want to review it knowing full well that I will only bash it and compare it to Nasu in her heydays? What is the point? There is not point! I should rather write about all the good stuff she has done and why I love her so."

So I will.

As Nasu herself notes, this can be considered a female version of Koko wa Greenwood. She took some funny episodes which didn't work with boys and used them in in this series. There is no storyline as such, just a series of funny (often hilarious to me) anecdotes about three female students of a design school and the people that surround them. There are some love triangles, but they don't amount to anything in the end. That doesn't matter, though, because it's all about teh funny! There is hardly anything serious in this entire book, which I guess sets it apart from Greenwood which had fabulous serious episodes such as Amayadori. It's somewhat a shame, because Nasu can do good serious especially when she has already established her characters in humour. But aside that, I have no complaints about this series and it makes me all happy inside to read. Yay!

It's difficult for me to write anything intelligent on Nasu Yukie, it seems. I either love her and can't say much more, or I just dispise everything she does and can't be coherent.

The last story included here is the conclusion to Tenshi to diamond, another Nasu series, so I'll touch on that when I review the series.
