I ❤️ Yaoi: Glow! by Yamada Papiko

Hello fellow yaoi lovers! This week's feature is Glow! by Yamada Papiko!

Ever since he was a kid, Morisaki Aki has been loved by the spirit of misfortune, and it's continued even after he started high school! He is coerced by his upperclassmen, Akabane and Tokunaga, into joining the gardening club, but as it turns out, that was just a cover for the Loan Shark Club! He gets involved with upperclassmen that not even the teachers would want to cross. And thus begins his unfortunate high school life. However, unbeknownst to him, mysterious feelings begin to bloom. These three guys with their clashing personalities grow together to paint a bold graffiti tag of teenage angst!

This is an interesting manga. I wasn't completely drawn into the story, but I did like the main protagonist, Morisaki. He is quite sweet and innocent, and suffers from the worst luck ever. It's that bad luck that causes him to join a school club under false pretenses. Akabane and Tokunaga aren't the most likable characters, but given the fact they're loan sharks, it makes sense. It will be interesting to see how this manga progresses and how the relationship between Morisaki and his two senpais develops.
