Here’s chapter 3 of “Danshi Gurashi”. I feel like this chapter finally begins the series… and then it abruptly ends. The fourth chapter is more like an extra short story. This should have been a longer running more developed series. I want to know more about Ryouga and Keigo’s friendship and school life. I want to explore friendship amongst young men more. It’s so rare for shoujo to explore male bonds without involving a girl in a love triangle. Guys have great stories about the stupid adventures they have with their male roommates. And guys have feelings of jealousy and … Continue reading "Danshi Gurashi" Chapter 3
