Guns And Howls

I wish there's Book 2 tho, but this novel is so good. This is one of my favorite story that I've read❤

isn't there a kdrama like this named "Extraordinary you" ??

Well written but I don't get it where the story will end well to main character who seem always in violation

Story:  
It's about two boys trying to build a connection, one being a human with a deep love for plants, the other a superplant who has distrust toward humans. Cuteness abounds! Although there isn't an explicit romantic relationship between the boys, it is heavily implied. Personally, I found the story simple yet adorably heartwarming beyond words.  

Art:  
There isn't much to elaborate on regarding the art. It’s visually appealing but follows standard manga conventions. A distinct artistic style shines through, though it retains a familiar feel. The color spreads are particularly striking, and the artist skillfully adds just the right amount of detail to each panel. Overall, the art is commendable.  

Characters:  
Tasuku stands out as the most developed character in the cast, receiving a bit of backstory near the manga's conclusion. All other characters exhibit strong personalities but lack substantial backstories. Masahiko serves as the cheerful protagonist, impossible not to like. His upbeat nature contrasts beautifully with Tasuku, who is notably anti-social. Once again, these two characters are irresistibly adorable together.  
Unfortunately, the manga loses a point for succumbing to the stereotypical "evil girl" trope. In the second chapter, the sole female character in the main cast is portrayed as conniving and manipulative, destined to be disliked by readers. Her role seems solely to threaten the bond between the two boys and introduce conflict. While her actions have some justification, they feel somewhat unrealistic, reinforcing the Boy Love cliché of villainous women attempting to come between the male leads. Though a male antagonist is introduced in the third chapter, the fact remains that the only female character conforms to this negative stereotype.  

Conclusion:  
Setting aside the minor issue with character representation, *Yasei no Bara* delivers a well-crafted tale of two boys striving to understand each other. The central appeal lies in the endearing relationship between Tasuku and Masahiko, which radiates charm. I found myself smiling as their friendship blossomed and as Tasuku revealed his softer side through flowers. While this manga will likely resonate with Boy Love fans, its subtle approach—free of graphic content and relying on implication—may also attract general shoujo readers. As a standalone volume, I highly recommend giving it a try.

A manga about...plants? Yep.  

Saotome is utterly fascinated by plants, so it's like a dream come true when he discovers that his fellow student, Tendou, at his new school is actually a super-plant. Not only can Tendou sprout branches, tendrils, and flowers at will, but he also has the ability to release pollen that can control people's minds. And his powers continue to evolve.  

Tendou appears human and experiences human emotions, yet possesses extraordinary plant abilities. He is initially annoyed by Saotome's persistent interest in him. But why does Tendou live among humans when he seems to despise them so much? And what about the renowned plant biologist who is eager to study him?  

There's no way a manga about plants could be interesting, or so I thought. Plants are BORING. To be honest, there were several aspects of this manga that weren't particularly great. The artwork was... let's just say unusual. It wasn't BAD, but it was unusually simplistic for a manga. The storyline included plenty of clichés (the evil scientist, the jealous female, etc.).  

Yet, strangely, despite these flaws, I found myself enjoying it. Saotome refuses to give up on forming a friendship with Tendou. Tendou grapples with insecurities about being neither fully plant nor fully human, struggling to find where he truly belongs. Beneath all the quirks and imperfections, this relatively short story had a warm and heartfelt core.
