A Gripping Tale of Secrets, Love, and Redemption

In the heart of an all-boys school, Captivated, by You weaves a captivating tapestry of intertwined lives. Yama Wayama’s beautifully illustrated manga explores the complexities of youth, friendship, and unexpected connections.

Synopsis: Hayashi, aloof yet forthright, grapples with inner demons. Nikaidou, shrouded in a grim persona, avoids emotional entanglements. As their paths cross, secrets unravel, and bonds form. The vows they exchanged should have bound them, but instead, old wounds resurface, and bitter enemies emerge from the shadows. Love is tested, fears realized, and choices made. Will they fight for an impossible dream or retreat to familiar safety?

ReviewCaptivated, by You is a rollercoaster of emotions. The manga’s originality lies in its portrayal of high school life, artful details, and character depth. While some moments feel odd, the overall impact is profound. The storytelling transcends clichés, offering insights beyond the obvious. The manga’s expertly researched content and well-trusted sources make it a gem. However, the occasional stretching of the storyline can be frustrating.

The manga’s concise tankōbon volume, published by Comic Beam, delivers substantial value. Yen Press’s English translation ensures wider accessibility. The live-action television drama adaptation, though imperfect, brings the characters to life. Ryusei Onishi’s performance as the lead adds depth.

Captivated, by You resonates with readers, earning accolades and nominations. Its portrayal of high school dynamics and artistic flair captivates. Rebecca Silverman praises the details, while Sara Smith commends character designs. Despite minor flaws, this manga is a satisfying journey—one you’d recommend to friends.

In summary, Captivated, by You is a passionate, addictive read—a testament to Yama Wayama’s expertise. Dive into this beautifully crafted world where love, pain, and redemption collide.
