Liquor & Cigarette

Manga artist&author:

Zariya Ranmaru

Manga cover


Review:

Teo and Camilo have known each other since childhood and pretty much grew up together, their families owning shops one across the other, and when the time came, they inherited them. While Camilo has no problem managing the cigarette shop and is a confident bisexual, Teo is straight and struggling continuously to hide the fact that he can’t hold his liquor, even though he owns a liquor shop.

But Teo’s biggest problem appears when he stubbornly accepts the challenge of participating in the wine-tasting contest of the annual grape harvest festival…or… is it when Camilo accepts being his drinking partner and confesses his feelings proposing a lover’s trial? Which only ends up in kissing, touching and…a little more…touching.

This might appear like a cliché love story between two childhood friends, but is full of humour, teasing, sexiness and emotional baggage, AND the cherry on the top is the amazing artwork of Zariya. Actually, one of the main reasons I’m always enjoying Zariya’s works is because of the finesse of emotions expressed through the artwork, it just manages to transfer more than words ever could and adds quality to the story.

So if you haven’t picked it up yet, do it! You’ll happily drool over and scream in delight at the end.
