I will admit that I didn’t appreciate Naoto at first, but he did grow on me as the series went on. On the other, he’s a cheeky, obnoxious brat and totally a little shit towards his peers. On one hand, he’s sweet, extroverted, and cares deeply about his friendships (which are essential to the story). If you’re in this one for all three volumes, just make sure to buckle up-this one’s a bit of a rough ride!įor most readers, Naoto (the one wearing glasses) will be a mixed bag of a protagonist. Despite all the heartache leading up to this volume, the ending is lovely and highly satisfying. Lastly, the third volume completes the story with the last couple chapters, ending their school festival and providing an aftermath for our characters. What are volumes two and three about, then? The second volume introduces Nishina, an in-the-closet art student, whose unfortunate experiences with a past love causes envy of Naoto and Taichi’s relationship (and lots of trouble, no doubt). You could even stop here if you feel satisfied enough with Escape Journey. We know that’s not true, but it takes several chapters (and meeting Fumi) to get Taichi to open up about his family situation.īy the end of the first volume, Naoto and Taichi have made up, and all’s well that ends well. In fact, Taichi always seems so ready to get dick-down that it leads Naoto to believe that all he wants from their relationship now is sexual satisfaction. Volume one takes us through Naoto and Taichi’s reunion into each other’s life, the push and pull of their churning relationship, and, of course, several rounds of make-up sex.
Most of this yaoi drama’s main story is resolved by the first volume. When another girl, Fumi, starts to take an interest in Taichi, however, the secret bond between two men is tested. Even though time has healed some wounds, not all scars fade, and Naoto slowly finds himself irresistibly drawn to Taichi once again after seeing just how much he has matured.
Naoto’s first day of college was turning up roses-until he unexpectedly comes across his high school ex, Taichi, whom he’d dumped after a huge argument. MINOR SPOILERS for Volume 1 will be present. A brief review of the 3-volume BL manga series “Escape Journey,” story and art by Ogeretsu Tanaka, and licensed in English by SuBLime Manga.
