Product Description: Nakagawa and Yokota are two boys very much in love with each other. Yokota is more open with his feelings, but Nakagawa is easily embarrassed of public displays of affection. Though they may be outwardly different, their feelings for each other are the same - their connection is such that they liken themselves to Do-Seibutu (Same-Cell Organisms).
A lovely collection of short stories and gorgeous artwork.. This was a really wonderful collection of stories. Same Cell Organism is more than just boy's love. This mangaka has a unique style that is delicate and sweet which goes so well with her story telling. Bittersweet, is what comes to mind. So moving and so well told. I found all of most impressive, though I wasn't as impressed with 'To Make An Angel'. It sort of seemed out of place and broke the mood a little. Otherwise I would have given it a 5 out of 5.
I do recommend that you take a look at other short stories done under her alternate pen name, Mizu Sahara. 'Bus Hashiro', 'Nanairo Sekai', and "My Girl" are all wonderfully written and illustrated.
An Outstanding and beautiful manga First off, this is the BEST shounen ai manga I've ever read and it surpasses the yaoi titles too (and I've read a lot of yaoi-BL manga) it has everything anyone can ask for: beautiful art, wonderful stories and great characters, well except yaoi but this is better off without it because the love each character feels for one another makes up for the lack of sex.
#1 on my yaoi top list.
Beautiful! It was like poetry through art! It was such a beautiful collection of short stories. I fell in love with it on page 1. If you're expecting a long in depth sex-fest, you're going to be dissapointed; however, this book is by no means shallow, pointless, or without depth. Truely a work of art.
awesome my best friend lent it to me and i was aghast at how beautiful the stories were, i'm really picky when it comes to yaoi or shonen ai and this, i must say is one of my favorites.
Sweet and Charming Same Cell Organism surpassed my expectations. The stories in this manga were sweet and charming. Starting with the first story of Nakagawa and Yokota. The emotion expressed through the breathtaking and clean artwork to the story lines enraptured me from the start. Very good and highly reccommended to Yaoi fans!!
