Amazon kept including this book in its "recommendations" to me but I always put off reading the reviews and otherwise "researching" the book because its cover was, well, a bit off-putting. But a few weeks ago, I finally read the 5 or 6 reviews and was convinced to buy the book. I'm glad I did and can only echo the praise of the other reviewers.The artwork is detailed and realistic while exuding a warmth that makes the two main characters come across as my dear friends whose joy and happiness is important to me. The story and the artwork are beautiful, sweet and sexy. But with all of the graphic intensity of the love-making (Yes. Love-making. The intimacy of the nude scenes between Ev and Rick is much deeper and more meaningful that "just sex."), the artwork never seems to go beyond the bounds of what is right and true. I was never made to feel like a voyeur or "Peeping Tom."
Through everything, the boys manage - somehow - to maintain some very real sense of wonder at the miracle of love and even a real sense of innocence on some level. At the same time, the artist manages to convey the boys' twinkling-eye humor and whimsicality. I was so impressed with this book, I read it twice on the day it arrived. Please ... let's have more from this artist/author.

Great FUN, if you like great art with the alternative, lot of thought put into our humanity, Cheers. that's all folks
I love this so much! I want the third one to happen.
Oh my, if you like gay comics this is a must buy. Its not as exaggerated as those drawn by Patrick Fillion, but equally arousing.
Its a simple tale of 2 boys from the same small town who grow up and move to the city and fall in love with each other. Excellent artwork, and I hope Mioki does a 2nd and 3rd and more books.
The art is beautiful. I was expecting more story- it is fairly simple on that count. Do not expect a complicated plot. It is mostly about excuses to have many pages of well executed illustrations of graphic sex. The text size is a little small and difficult to read. At times I found myself pulling out a magnifying glass to read it. The faces are a little like the faces you have seen on old sewing catalogues from the 60s and 70s - beautiful but a little interchangeable. After a bit, the sex illustrations as skillfully as they are rendered- start to feel more like bodies having sex rather than like people having sex- which makes them a little less sexy and a little soulless. Perhaps a richer plot would have filled in that void. But the art is beautiful and inspiring for any illustrator who wants to improve their drawing skills. You will see these forms in pretty much every position you can imagine and the artist really knows his anatomy. You could probably use it as a figure drawing reference.
Good times
Great artist, if you don't object to naked boys sharing themselves with each other, and a few select friends. A really good story, well handled. Got only four stars because I got the feeling that there was some suppression or reluctance that detracted from the otherwise easy flow of the story and artwork. Also, it didn't end the way I wanted it to!
Side by Side by Mioki is a very sweet story with all the zeal of young love. Mioki's comic style allows him to explore every side of the passionate love story of title characters, Rick and Evan. The artwork is bright and clean, with exceptional attention on the backgrounds as well as the men who's lives inhabit this story. The detail really drives home how much the two main characters love, need, and want each other. It's an intense passion that we all want in our own lives. Like a feel good movie or a great novel, Mioki draws you in, so you can experience all the rapture that this simple, yet amazing story has to tell.
