Thunderbolt Boys Excite by Asami Tojo

I bought this essentially for the drawing style: I like the looks of the characters, in a certain way a "normal" looks.

Volume 1 and Volume 2 of Thunderbolt Boys Excite are a sequel of a previous manga, which tells how the two main characters, Ritsu and Natsui meet at high school. They have same age, but Ritsu is a lot more experienced of Natsui, and maybe also a little more smart. Natsui is not a bad guy, but he has not self extime. He thinks to not be worth of Ritsu's interest. Ritsu is very handsome and rich. But I think that Ritsu finds Natsui intriguing. He is so naive and gentle, he worries for everything and everyone.

In both volume we read of the slow seduction that Ritsu is bringing on on Natsui. Natsui is so innocent that he can be easily prey for other men and since Ritsu doesn't make clear his intention, he can't understand what Ritsu's really reasons are. To justify him, it can be say that Ritsu is not a really talkative's characters.

There are also some extra stories that are not bad: the story of a young cop and the guy who "rapes" him is really interesting, worthing maybe of something more.

After all I'm satisfy of my purchase, the graphic is pretty and the story well developed (even if a little confusing sometime) and not only a sex encounter after another, but I think it could be better, and more understandable, if it had been translated also the previous story.

The first three volumes in the story (Denkou Sekka Boys) were scanlated by Hochuuami. Sadly, the mangaka, Tohjoh Asami, died on October 31st. ;;

Yes, I know. Fortunately I have read them in order and then buy only the latest volume, cause are the only translated into English. It's very sad the mangaka passed away so soon, I think she was still young... Elisa

Yes, the seduction of Natsui is very arousing and funny, and Ritsu's idea to push Natsui using another guy is very smart. I have liked also that the "real devirginization" is happened after a bit, has made it more appreciated. Elisa

I am not really into Manga, I read some of it occasionally, but find it difficult to follow most of the time.

I am excited to see one of my stories on your waiting reading list! :)
