Author: Takeuchi Sachiko
Artist: Takeuchi Sachiko
Genres: Comedy ComedyJosei JoseiShoujo Ai Shoujo AiSlice of Life Slice of Life

Status: Complete
Description: Takeuchi Sachiko's Honey & Honey is a realistic look at an adult lesbian couple living in Japan; to be precise, it's autobiographical. The artwork is rough, but hopefully the plot (and the information the manga imparts) will be enough compensation for those who don't like that style of drawing. The first chapter introduces the two main characters, Sachiko and Masako, and depicts their first meeting.

that was a pretty nice read. it let me have a little more insight on gay culture in japan (although dated back several years ago)

It's hard to believe that it's been 7 years since I first started reading Honey & Honey. Thank you to all the staff at Lililicious for all your work, and thank you to Takeuchi Sachiko for creating it.

And.. this happen. And I guess this is my first time reading something while knowing the one of the main protagonist 'won't be a protagonist anymore'. I'm hooked with this series more than ever now, and I wish sachiko could still find her passion and spirit she's always have for the manga.

oh wow didn't see that coming. ffs.

oh shit

 

chapter 33, why

Ah, I missed this one. :3

It definitely looks at different things from other yuri manga. And there are stereotypes in shoujo ai/yuri . . . but weirdly, I don't think the ones you mention are that common, or at least not any more. Older yuri, and maybe the josei-style yuri, had a fair amount of the men=bastards and woman=lesbian because hurt by men. That one you posted up, "That's why I sigh" has a bit of that. But if you look at the modern stuff in the more shoujo style, by people like Morishima Akiko and Morinaga Milk, guys are either marginal or on average fairly nice--they just don't happen to be objects of desire for the main characters. I think there's actually been a conscious reaction against that old style--the newer yuri mangaka are specifically insisting that yuri is about wanting women, it's not about men whether hating them or being victimized by them or whatever.
OK, the best friends thing is a stereotype you find a lot. But then, that's a common one in both shoujo and shounen as well--it's just a very good setup for romance and seems to be a particularly Japanese cultural thing too.

The main reason this is different is that a journal is different from fiction. Which makes it interesting, although it means you don't get some of the things that make fiction interesting--plot, rising action, tension, significant conflict leading to resolution. And so the demands of all that stuff don't get in the way of being true to life, but at the same time while kind of interesting, it's not a gripping read.
It takes on different angles from other shoujo-ai/yuri manga. While others seems full of stereotypes (like how men depicted as some bastards, or how the woman is hurted by men so she turn to other woman, or how best friends always fall to each other), this manga is not.
It shows real issues that bians face, like coming out and marriage. Also the up and down of their relationship, just like in heterosexual couples.
In short, it's a refreshing and interesting series, definitely worth a read.
