It seems there's a mistakes on the novel review. Here are the full summary of the bl novel

The novel has three stories:

The Unnamed Color

The Holy Night

Gray - The Holy Night after 10 Years

Here are summary for each story, I'll start with first story:

1. The Unnamed Color

The characters are Fujino and Misakubo. Fujino is an editor from book publisher, handling a book which is illustrated by an illustrator named Misakubo. He heard that Misakubo doesn't work in Summer, but being an editor he is, Fujino wants to keep a cooperate relationship with the illustrator, and initiate to go to Misakubo's house. Only then he finds Misakubo asleep while soaking in the bathub with off air conditioner. Their relationship and story begins there. Fujino learns that Misakubo is gay, but they eventually becomes friends as Fujino is swayed by Misakubo's teasing and beauty. Misakubo on the other hand, still can't get over of his ex-boyfriend but gradually as he and Fujino become friends, starts to more dependent on Fujino and fall in love with him. But Misakubo's attitude is selfish so things doesn't go as smooth as Fujino's thought. But with Fujino's kindness and consideration, Misakubo little by little finds stability. Misakubo who usually draws only in black and white, starts to draw in colorful illustration of pink rose and shows it to Fujino. He asks Fujino's thought about it and leans his head on Fujino's shoulder and acts like a lover.

Later, Fujino finds out about Misakubo's ex-boyfriend and the fact that Misakubo's can't still get over him despite of having close relationship with Fujino. He discovers the illustration that Misakubo has been drawing does still have a sense of lingering feeling for the ex-boyfriend. Filled up with jealousy, Fujino decides to stop coming to Misakubo's house and avoid Misakubo. One day, Fujino is drunk and comes to Misakubo's house and tries to hug Misakubo's roughly. At this point, Misakubo who is upset to some extent at Fujino for avoiding him, sees Fujino as a drunk man who can't hold himself. He feels sorry and feel guilty for his attitude and embrace Fujino's back without rebel. But during the process, Fujino can't help but shed a tears for being ruthless to Misakubo and annoyed that he does things to Misakubo out of jealousy. Fujino then confesses his feeling but only to get a 'sorry' answer from Misakubo. It's because for Misakubo, it feels unfair for Fujino if Misakubo loves him without completely breaking off his own feeling towards his ex-boyfriend.

Few days later, Fujino who still have his heart broken, quits from the publishinh house and abruptly disappears. During this Fujino's disappearance Misakubo then realize he misses Fujino so much and learns that his heart filled with Fujino instead of his ex-lover.

Time passes by and Fujino works as editor in other publishing house. He works two times harder to get his mind busy as an escape for his broken heart. When the day of the release of the novel he's in charge comes, he goes to the nearby bookstore and sees a novel with Misakubo's name as an illustrator. There he also meets Inami, the author of that novel who is also Misakubo's bother in law. Inami informs that since Fujino's gone, Misakubo wanders around in search of Fujino. Fujino is surprised knowing that Misakubo is looking for him. Later he comes to Misakubo's house only to find that Misakubo has moved. Misakubo moved from the house because he wants to move from the house that has memories with his ex-boyfriend so he decides to move to a new house near a seaside. After so many twist and turn, Fujino discovers Misakubo's new place and he and Misakubo finally reunite

The story ends with them happily gazing at the purple dawn in the seaside.

Saezuru Drama CD vol. 7 Recording Interview

――Please give us your impression after finishing the recording.

Yashiro / Tarusuke Shingaki

This series has been going on for a long time, but I was very nervous before recording this time as well. Before recording, I check the script and compare it to the manga, but this time there were many elements included as well as various meanings in the conversation, and there was a scene that was not straightforward. I wasn't sure if I could express it properly for the play, so I came to the recording site with anxiety. But while I was having a conversation with Hatano-kun, I thought, "Oh, that's okay" ... I'm really glad that I was able to survive to the end!

After all, I was very reassured that I could do anything if I recorded with this group and this cast.

Doumeki / Wataru Hatano

I think it's very exciting to play a role for a series that has been going on for a really long time and has been produced in a drama.

The drama expressed in a conversation about what kind of life Doumeki with new friends and people, since he was physically separated from his former boss. On top of that, the recording scene of him reuniting with yashiro made me feel a little special.

Also, as for the works, it was recorded while taking infection prevention measures (due too covid). While it was difficult for everyone to record together, I could recorded together with Shingaki-san, Okitsu-san, and Masuda-san who played the new character, Kamiya. I am really grateful that I was able to do it, and I would like to thank the staff.

--How was Kamiya, the character that will appear in this volume, as seen by Hatano-san, who plays the role of Doumeki?

Doumeki / Wataru Hatano

It's an uke character. I think he's a little sloppy and unmotivated, but he says sharp things, and could observe and analyze various things in the monologue. I think he is a character that I'm looking forward to see in future activities.

――How was Shingaki-san, who played Yashiro, in the conversation scene with Ryuzaki after a long time?

Yashiro / Tarusuke Shingaki

Well, I was relieved and it was energetic as usual.

I think what it makes interesting is because the place we have the conversation happened to be in "the other side" and just by speaking a word (laughs). Recording that scene was a lot of fun.

――Please give a message to the fans who are looking forward to the release.

Yashiro / Tarusuke Shingaki

I think there are various people who enjoy listening from the first volume of the drama CD, and those who read the manga first and then listen to the drama CD.

This time, the story is beyond excitement, as it seems to have a lingering scent of sadness. I'm very excited about the future development, and there are also scenes where the relationship between Yashiro and Doumeki makes me feel pain and sad.

If you read the manga, please look forward to what happens on the drama CD, and if you enjoy listening from the drama CD alone, you can fully immerse yourself in the world of this work in Volume 7. Please enjoy.

Doumeki / Wataru Hatano

Just around the time of this recording, the series for volume 6 won the award for the best BL drama CD. Everyone talked about it during the break of recording, and I was really grateful that this work touched the hearts of those who love BL drama CDs.

I feel happy that the series will continue, and I will continue to do my best so that everyone who loves the series can enjoy how I can deliver the character, Doumeki. I would like you to listen to the 7th volume of the drama CD many times. We look forward to your continued support.

--Thank you very much!

Bijutsu Techo: Boys Love – Interview: Yoneda Kou

This article was first published in November 17th, 2014. Translated from Japanesse to Bahasa Indonesia by kalengjelek and then translated from Bahasa Indonesia to English by KTFfansub. Source: here

When did you first encounter manga?

I was born in a family with three daughters; while my older sister likes reading Ribbon magazine, I like reading Nakayoshi. It was the era of Asagiri Yuu-sensei, when I was in elementary school. My favorite at that time were Kusunoki Kei sensei’s works and Patlabor. When it came to Shonen, I would say I was more into Shounen Sunday. I also loved Kawaraha Izumi sensei’s works. When I think about it, rather than manga that were full of passion, I’d actually prefer manga that had calm and soothing kind of vibe.

Is that so… What about BL?

When I was in Junior High, my older sister showed me Captain Tsubasa Doujinshi by Ozaki Minami and I was dumbfounded, I thought, “So, there’s also a world like this!”. After that, I started to buy BL manga. At that time, the mangaka who left the most impression to me was Nishi Keikosensei. Her works such as Mizu Ga Koori Ni Naru Toki, Tenshi Ni Naranakya have unique openings, it made me reread them many times. Uida Shiuko (now Kano Shiuko) and Yoshinaga Fumi Sensei are also my favorite mangaka.

When was the first time you draw manga?

I seriously began drawing manga in my first year of junior high. At first, I drew a pair of man and woman, but after page three, I felt something was off. So, I tried drawing BL for the next one. Just like the present, I’ve always loved less expressive and less-talkactive main characters (laughs). But the more I draw, then an attentive senpai with good personality and short haired ones like Togawa in Doushitemo Furetakunai also appeared. At that moment I thought, “Oh, this is it!”

You really weren’t embarrassed, are you? (laughs)

Well, it’s because it was embarrassing, that’s why I’m not really open about my drawing manga activity.

(laughs) But you debut as professional mangaka eventually, how did that happen?

Yes, after that… I worked as office lady. I got married not long after, but then, I was getting through a marriage blues. At that time, I was invested in Kakashi and Naruto shown by my older sister along with Comiket catalogue.

The power of moe beats out your anxiety (laughs)

It’s true (laughs). Escaping from reality, I checked a lot of circles and opened some sites. There I found a work from a novelist (now has debuted professionally) that I really liked. This is why I started writing novel at first, not drawing. I have a lot of ways to accommodate my moe needs. I also once drew Doujinshi but due to my inability to use a proper diction, the result wasn’t optimal (laughs). After drawing slowly and more at ease, I got into Katekyo Hitman Reborn fandom and drew a lot of doujinshi for that series. A year later, I was contacted by Taiyou Tosho publisher.

“With that publisher, Yoneda Kou published Doushitemo Furetakunai which has been adapted into a movie. Since the beginning, Yoneda Kou didn’t draw one-shot but serialization. For the movie, even though it only tells a story of daily lives, but the directing, composition and dialogue are impressive. About 4,5 years later, the second volume of Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai that had the yakuza neighborhood setting was released. This has completely different feeling compared to Doushitemo Furetakunai.”

My first work was actually published in Drap, so I had it adjusted to be a less-heavy work. That’s why I ended up switching to another magazine.

Was it a demand from the editor?

Of course I only draw what I want to draw. But without realizing, I always draw them to fit the magazine. And it seems like Taiyou Tosho prefers me to draw more simple work.

So, sensei is the type who pays attention to editor’s suggestion. When you wrote the first chapter of Saezuru Tori Wa Habatakanai, did you already want Yashiro to be the main character (for longterm series)?

Right. I didn’t explain it in the first one-shot, but I always believe that no matter how you look at it, Yashiro really loved Kageyama. And (even though he’s drawn like that) he is actually a neko (uke). I think he is an interesting character. When I drew highschooler Yashiro and others, it had been decided that I wanted to write a serialization for this.

And only then the character Doumeki was born?

At that time, the character Doumeki didn’t exist, but I thought very hard about what kind of partner that would be suitable for Yashiro. I took a break from drawing for about two years. I only worked on illustration during that time, until one morning an idea suddenly came to me, “That’s right! Erectile dysfunction!”. I immediately sent an email to my editor: “A perverted impotent man!” (laughs). Afterwards, I finally worked on the first draft.

(laughs hard) Finally, the combination of Yashiro and Doumeki who are the opposite of each other was decided. What an amazing couple that can even make the readers losing sleep.

I do have this particular interest in people’s decision and behaviour resulted from a contrasting relationship that is full of conflicts. Because there are so many characters in Saezuru, I have this excel file compiling the plot for each character chronologically. Otherwise, I would’ve forgotten about it. If I didn’t seriously research (the setting of my own story), I wouldn’t be able to write anything when I made name. But even though I got through it, drawing a family with no blood ties like yakuza was still difficult. If I don’t focus, the story might turn out like Nagara Sakugyou*. That’s why now I’m just focusing on doing Saezuru.

*) nagara sakugyou: other work that being serialized at the same time

Up until now, Sensei has published 5 volumes and all of them have beautiful covers with varied tones.

Actually, the cover color for Doushitemo Furetakunai should’ve looked like red wine, but it seemed like there was an error in printing so the pink was contrasting into it. But it turned out to be good.

Then about the cover for the Saezuru first volume. It’s so impressive! The stepped-on man! All the people around me also had high appraise for this.

Actually, there were so many things happened in the process. By taking the request (it isn’t clearly explained whether it’s from editor/designer) of “Yashiro sitting alone”, I first submitted that illustration to the book designer. However, I couldn’t throw away the idea of Yashiro being stepped on, so, during the next three days I was stressed out. I’ve finally asked them to keep my idea and that’s how the cover of the first volume ended up the way it is now.

I see! For the second volume, it’s totally different, isn’t it? It’s a scenery, but when you do a double take, there are Yashiro and Doumeki!

I always want to give a different vibe in each volume. Actually I’m also a fan of the way Tsumugi Taku-sensei draws scenery.

Hoo-, sensei is a fan of Tsumugi sensei! Talking abough NIGHTS, when you open the cover, there’s a surprise in it!

Yes, if you look at the rough sketches there were 4 pages of picture that were interconnected. In the end, the desainer took picture number two as the cover and number four to put it on the bottom of the back cover. For Soredemo, I didn’t get any guide from the book designer. I combined the the feel of the story with a touch of water paint. At first, I actually wanted to make Deguchi pulling Onoda’s hand to get out of the train, but it ended up looking like Deguchi forced Onoda to stay (with him). So I decided it’s Onoda who’s getting off the train by himself with Deguchi waiting on the platform.

Do you do the coloring with computer? How about the non-colored script?

I use SAI for coloring but for monochrome I usually draw by my hand until the inking, then I do the tone using photoshop.

Do you self-learned drawing?

Well, I at least bought a lot of ‘pose reference’ books often. When it comes to buy things, it feels great, doesn’t it? But when it comes to manga, we draw to tell our moe concept.. well, I love drawing moe concept, but the thing is- I’m not really good at drawing. I like thinking about moe stuff, I also like to combine colors (inside my head) but when I do, I have no desire to draw I, even though that’s the important part. There are often times when I feel like drawing is a handful. In short, I want to draw something that isn’t too troublesome.

But, isnt it because you’re doing manga seriously that it feels difficult?

Because I’m too serious I feel like the story can be boring. Not only the work but also the author (laughs). I often read comments saying my manga is ‘down to earth’. I guess it’s shown obviously in every each of my works

Sure, there are people who think like, “In real world, there’s no way a wakagashira can be as masochist as Yashiro”, but apart from that, Saezuru still gives an impression of it being realistic. In drawing the important men’s arms and muscles in your work, sensei has done your best. Getting into the story, the characters also put extra effort to look elegant. Despite the young age, in a positive sense, sensei’s works feels like having Showa* vibe.

(*SHOWA ERA: 1926~1989)

I’m no longer young, though (laughs). Maybe this is why my works often get called “JUNE”. Especially Saezuru, I think it really fits (JUNE concept).

Are you an organized person?

I’m actually a person who have no chill (laughs). But I have this side of myself who tend to see things as a whole, look at my surrounding then step on the brake. There is also a side of me that is so energetic in creating my own moe that I turn into a selfish person. I guess that’s also my flaw.

It seems like sensei is the type who has her own editorial meeting inside her head (laughs)

I wish it’s not true, but unfortunately, I’m the type of person who is embarrased to admit that I have a relationship with manga. Even until now I have yet told my close friends about this job (as BL mangaka). I’m not that kind of person who like to share or tell others about my moe situation inside my head. When my moe concept is being visualized in public I would scream, “Don’t look! But if you want to read it, I’d be happy”. Yes, I’m that kind of person.

I wonder if sensei’s works are the manifestation of sensei’s own self-contradictions..
