Why I love this manga

This was another manga that I really didn’t realize I was hungry for until I started reading it. Gaku is probably going to be in my top 5 male love interests for the rest of my life. While Choking on Love doesn’t have the most unique story out there, that gives the audience more room to focus on Hibari and Gaku’s relationship. While there is a love triangle (which I normally hate), all of the drama in this series is clearly only there to help Gaku and Hibari’s relationship grow. volume 4 did end on a rather big cliffhanger, and I do have a feeling where the story is going to go, but i’m hoping that there isn’t as much drama as I’m imagining there will be.

This is one of those stories that I don’t have the biggest reason in the world for loving, I just love it. And honestly that’s enough for me~

This manga also has my favourite side couple out of everything that i’ve read this year!
