【BL Manga】 In Love for Over 10 Years, but Falling in Love Again and Again!? A Heartwarming BL Manga: Kawa ni Sazanami!

In love for over 10 years and still can't stop saying “I love you”! “Kawa ni Sazanami” is a romantic comedy that depicts the sweet everyday life of lovers Niwa Seiichirou and Utagawa Kaoru, who have been together for over 10 years. Niwa is a tall and handsome picture book author, while Utagawa is a café worker, and the two have been together since their high school days. Even after all this time, they continue to fall in love with each other every day, and their affection never cools.

Niwa is especially captivated by Utagawa's pure and innocent side, which occasionally makes his heart skip a beat. Their lovey-dovey relationship is sometimes heartwarming, and sometimes bittersweetly portrayed. This work is a 100% sweet BL manga that depicts the daily life of a couple whose hearts race over even the smallest everyday occurrences.

It's a work that leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy after reading! Niwa and Utagawa's relationship feels like the embodiment of “eternal pure love.” They’ve known each other since high school and still live together, yet every day they discover something new and their love for each other keeps growing. This is something so enviable.

The story is divided into two parts: their adult phase and their high school phase. In the adult phase, they are already firmly in love, but in the high school phase, they start with a more uncertain “I think I like them” distance. This gap is truly precious! The way they gradually close the gap between them makes the readers feel as if they are experiencing their love story firsthand.

What's particularly impressive is that even after being together for years, their relationship never becomes monotonous—instead, every day feels fresh. In reality, relationships often lose their excitement over time, but Niwa and Utagawa's ability to continuously find new charms in each other, even as time passes, is something to admire. Perhaps it's through continuing to care for and respect each other that they are able to build such a wonderful relationship.

“Kawa ni Sazanami” portrays the pure love between the two while being peppered with comedic elements, making it a work you can enjoy with a smile. Scenes where Utagawa teases Niwa or Niwa is flustered by Utagawa's innocence are sure to warm the readers' hearts. Plus, just seeing the two sitting together on the sofa overflows with sweetness...... it's enough to make any reader swoon.

This manga is more like a “series of short stories” that focuses on enjoying the relationship between the two rather than a plot-heavy narrative. Especially, seeing their long-lasting relationship without their love ever fading gives you a glimpse of what feels like an ideal love. The high school arc, where their history is told, allows you to see how they met and fell in love, making you grow even more attached to them.

“Kawa ni Sazanami” is a work that teaches the value of love that continues to endure over time. It's a must-read for those who love sweet romantic comedies or heartwarming slice-of-life stories. Once you pick up this story filled with laughs and heart-pounding moments, you'll surely be captivated by Niwa and Utagawa's love.
