Takumi-kun

In this compact four-issue German series from Carlsen Comics (2007–2008), Takumi-kun adapts the popular Japanese boy's love novels into a Western comic format. The story centers on the tender, slow-burn romance between the reserved Takumi and the charismatic Gii at an all-boys boarding school, navigating friendship, jealousy, and first love. While the series is brief, it stands as a notable early example of licensed BL manga being translated and published for a German-speaking audience, bridging cultural gaps in queer romance storytelling.
