Summary: Arousing and Sweet
Comment: 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.

Summary: Cool, but the story grows a litthe thin in the end
Comment: This is a lusciously drawn graphic novel about two friends and lovers. The story is interesting enough, but I find that, in the end, the author is more interested in deopicting sex scenes than in developing the story.Not that I'm complaining: the sex scenes are hot!

Summary: Sweet and Sexy
Comment: 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.

Summary: Evan and Rick
Comment: Mioki. "Side By Side: The Journal of a Small Town Boy", Bruno Gmunder, 2008.
Evan and Rick
Amos Lassen
Mioki has been drawing comics for a long time and in "Side By Side" he gives us a new kind of graphic novel--one that is very gay and very, very bold.
"Side by Side" is the story of Evan and Rick who have been best friends since kindergarten days. They live in a small town and one rarely sees one without the other. Rick is gay and lusts after Evan who thinks he is straight. Evan moves to an unnamed big city and shortly afterwards Rick follows him there and they boys realize that they deeply love another. Evan and Rick meet Billie and Charlie and the four become the closest of friends who party and sleep together.
"Side by Side" is a look at gay life with the ups and downs, the sadnesses and the joys. But this is a book that is all visual and leaves nothing to the imagination. I am sure that some may consider it porn but it is more than that. The drawings are very graphic and Mioki shows many sex scenes but the book never loses its charm and heart.
