    The story doesn't actually start until quite a few chapters in, and that confused me at first because I wasn't use to this quirky format. The first several chapters are just little snapshots of their time together, interspersed with various art pieces. These are short and gives you an idea of what these characters are like and their relationship with one another. And then the story goes back to when they were in junior high and actually begins there. Once the story gets going... my god, talk about an epic, chemistry-filled bromance. It's so good. SO so good! I laughed and laughed, and then find myself tearing up because what I was reading was so poignant and heart-rending that it takes my breath away. That's what reading this manhua is like. I couldn't put it down. 170 chapters, gone in a day. Can't wait to read more.

    Is so beautiful. It's so gorgeous, and so angsty/suggestive that I find myself completely, utterly addicted.

    This manga made me realize I'm a major fujoshi. Oh lordy.

    The flawless blend of hilarious gags, teenagers' stupid antics, spicy bedroom scenes (nothing explicit tho), and cute bromantic interactions is absolutely beautiful. I'm in awe with the art, storytelling, and interesting premise. AHHHHHH I NEED MORE. GIVE ME UPDATES DAMMIT.

    I love this so much. I also love how a chapter is nearly released each week.
    The art is amazing. I am a huge fan of coloured panels and, of course, bromance / boy love.

    This starts out all happy, with Jian Yi making ridiculous passes at his best friend Zhan, and it's comical and silly but then it hits you in the feels with some real emotional dramas and angst. I am seriously loving this so hard right now. When I see chapter updates my heart skips a beat.

    The fujoshi in me wants them to get together...but where's the fun in that? Zhan's expressions everytime Jian gropes him is worth every second haha

    I started reading and couldn't stop -- just binge-read all 164 chapters. Great artwork, great humor, also sweetly sentimental at times. Just one question, though: these hunky guys are middle schoolers πŸ˜• I though they were Uni students in the beginning, then judging from their school I assumed high schoolers. Then in one of the later chapters Jianyun Yi mentions that he wants them to get into the same high school and university. Really??

    This is the type of manga where you binge read 50 chapters at one, take an extended break, rinse and repeat. The art is unique and distinctive - "clean" would be the word I'd use to describe it. Some of the humour is lost in translation but it manages to retain its spunky charm. The characters are meticulously crafted, and memorable. It helps that it's in full colour since you can tell two characters apart with one glance (the four male leads all have different hair colours, for one). Their personalities are easily differentiated also, and each is capable of standing their own ground as a character in a story without becoming too bland.

    It's evident that a lot of effort was put into this series by the author. The recent chapters are really revving up the heat, particularly (especially after The Big Reveal). Considering it was conceived as a gag manga, it's great to see that the story is progressing linearly with a purpose in mind instead of just going in circles. There's a great tonal balance maintained throughout the manhwa - it manages to strike the right emotions at key points. It can be funny, endearing, angst, we're utterly helpless at the whims of the author. And Old Xian is something, throwing us twists when we least expect it, playing with our feelings.... man.

    Something that stopped me from giving this a 10, though, was because I wasn't as emotionally affected as I expected to be during climactic moments. Maybe it's just me?

    I've heard of this manhua for quite awhile, but disliked the art style when I first picked it up. I gave it another try when

    the kisshappened and it was spread all over the internet. I really wish I didn't ignore this for so long because it's SUCH a good manhua.

    The art is quite amazing and can be fairly erotic. The characters are hilarious and adorable. The angsty moments are well done and don't feel hamfisted in. Overall, it's a great read.

    This is my no.1 manga. I seriously fell in love with this. I almost cried when

    Zhang found out that Jian was actually gay. His crying face was soo cute it gave me feels.Now I want the update! Please update it as fast as you can! I'm dying to see what happens next.
    I was very new to manga back then, so when I first read it and saw the art I was like "Meh what the hell is this? Such a gross art" but now I can understand how beautiful and touchy this is! I would totally recommend this to anyone who is interested in shounen-ai, comedy!
    I gave it 9.5 because it's still not completed yet. It deserves more, but not for now. We will see what happens later.

    I do not read Manhua or Manhwa. Don't ask me why, i just don't have a thing for them. So how did i end up reading this? Well, i've seen it everywhere for the past 2 years and it's been known to be quite popular. It's rated very highly, yet i kept putting it off because the cover did not impress me, the story seemed generic and it's a manhua. However, if you are someone like me who loves reading BL and wants to find a gem, PLEASE do read this! You will not regret making that decision because my god, these characters make my sides split from laughing so hard. They are so funny and lovable. I swear, i have NEVER read a yaoi manga as funny as this! xD

    The art is no different from a manga. It looks lovely, i like it. I'm still trying to get used to the colour, but nonetheless i'm really loving the style. Stories that revolve around childhood friends are definitely a weak spot for me and seeing how these two interact with each other is really silly, cute and entertaining. What i love about this, is that the two main characters are masculine and actually act like boys. There is no stereotypical yaoi labels here, woo.

    Even though this is a shounen-ai, it's still very satisfying. There are some dramatic and heartwarming moments in this as well, but be aware this is a gag manhua. It's not meant to be deep and serious. Overall, this deserves the praise it gets and i'm looking forward to reading more chapters.

    Ohh finally! I've been searching all this year for a manga/hua/wa that touches me, this is a great manga, a simply but yet touching story, i really love it when you don't have the complete story at the first chapter, i like the slowly development and the funny scenes πŸ˜€ it became one of my favorite!! πŸ˜€ i prefer the dramatic mangas, but this jewel deserves a 10! πŸ˜€

    At first I thought the art was a bit lazy since I'm so used to reading mangas of great detail. But that doesn't matter because the content of this stuff is immensely touching.

    It's amazing how it can be so touching without being cheesy, corny or tragic (and tragedies, while interesting, are super depressing).

    For a Shounen Ai, both protagonists are masculine and are attractive - basically boyish boys.These guys are equals yet they have completely different personas. It's both an opposites-attractive and alikes-attract.

    Zhan Zhengxi's reactions to Jian Yi are perfect. It not only brings comedic relief from what is on the verge of becoming sappy but it says a lot about their relationship. Zhan Zhengxi's feelings to be completely unknown is what keeps this manga going. It's a mystery, it gives the reader something to hope for and gets us constantly looking out for any hints.

    From a first read of the early chapters, there is no dialogue whatsoever that explains where this story begins. Because it isn't necessary. The author throws the reader into these collections of short, mundane situations and instantly we know what the story is. And then the past slowly unravels to provide more to discover.

    What's so great about this is that there is not going to be a possibility of a disappointing end. Whether or not they end up together is not crucial. And also, it's strongly hinted that the events of 19 Days is a prequel to their adult lives.

    It's a unique art style, a unique relationship and a unique story. It's brilliant.
