Totally beautiful
Rin is probably one of my favourite BL manga. The story itself is not all that inventive or exciting -- I'd say it's a fairly typical schoolboy romance. That said, however, the addition of the sport of archery and some of the themes that come into it make this manga very charming. It's not for readers who are looking for something hardcore, but the romance develops nicely (with an appropriate amount of hurdles thrown in the way) and as I said before, it's very, very charming.
I have long been a fan of Honami Yukine's art, and it definitely doesn't disappoint in this series. Her facial expressions are fantastic and she is able to defly communicate the emotions of the characters. While some might find the softness and almost sketch-like quality of her art a little off-putting, I think that it matches perfectly with the tone of this manga. I wholeheartedly recommend this manga to anyone who likes a nice, sweet romance story.
