Menkui

Japanese title: メンクイ!
genre: shounen-ai
summary: Cute romance between two high school boys. The main character is a boy named Kotori (小鳥) who's known for liking pretty faces. "面食い(めんくい)" translates as a person who only likes good-looking people. The dictionary specifies "a man who likes only good-looking girls", but as this is a shonen-ai story, that certainly doesn't apply! Kotori thinks he's a pretty normal boy; certainly unspectacular in appearance. But for some reason everyone around him is particularly handsome or even beautiful. Pretty simple story, with occasional forays into random sci-fi and fantasy episodes. I would have liked more of an ending, but it's pretty evident by the end that the author has run out of ideas.
