The art is wonderfully drawn. It’s extremely detailed and portrays the story well.
There is a slow buildup for this story, and I thoroughly enjoyed the unraveling of the characters. You have one shy/introverted gay graduate student who wants relationships, not hookups. The other is a metal head with selective mutism/stutter who has trouble interacting with people in general. The slow weave of bringing them together and how they work is gentle and holds the characters and the readers safe while exploring the topics of bullying and homophobia, and the worry of how one is perceived by the person/people they care about.
While there could’ve been more done with the selective mutism aspect of this story, it is a start to more representation, and there is support shown by some people.

"Mi vecino metalero" es un manga yaoi stand alone bastante tierno.
Nos narra la amistad que surge entre un amante del metal tímido y su extrovertido vecino.
El arte es hermoso y limpio, los personajes principales tienen un buen diseño que los diferencia más allá del color de pelo.
El argumento está bien, pero podría tener más desarrollo. Entiendo que al ser tomo único algunas cosas se aceleran. Sin embargo, hay un salto de tiempo de un año en el que nos dicen que la amistad se fortaleció, pero no vemos nada en página, lo que hace que el enamoramiento se sienta un poco apresurado.
En resumen, un lindo manga, con una relación sana para los parámetros del yaoi. Bastante simple pero con mucho amor tanto por el metal como por la historia.

This is such a cute and wholesome manga! I wasn't expecting it.
it's the story of a metal fan who has difficulty talking to people, and his neighbour, an extrovert guy, and how they develop a friendship despite all odds.
The art is beautiful and clean. Both MCs had a great design. I get it that maybe it's not everyone's cup of tea but it really worked for me.
Regarding the story, it's cute but there is a time skip that tells instead of showing the relationship development and could be done better. It's not a deal breaker but it makes the romance feel a little rushed.
Overall is a nice book. Very simple and cute. It's way healthier than most of the Yaoi manga I've read this year. So that's a plus.
