This manga and this author's work in particular have such a chaotic energy that lifts my mood everytime I read.
All I'm saying is if I saw a dude shoving my little doll figurine up another man's uranus, bro congratulations it's your doll now
When bro said the vibrating toy he casually pulled out his pocket was "his sister's" I was like OH HELL NAW but turns out it was a literal child's toy whew
Back when I was but a young a Tibetan fox cub full of innocence, all I knew about yaoi and "boys love" content was limited to the likes of "Gravitation", "Loveless", and "Gakuen Heaven", where the characters were stereotypically a masculine top and a blushing girly bottom. Back then life was simple, pure, almost virginal. This manga blew my mind, particularly the first story.
I remember feeling disturbed but also enraptured by the dynamic of the main couple and their relationship. But it wasn't the unusualness of their relationship that made it memorable to me, It was the characters themselves and how human they are. It struck me that there are so many dark undertones in this manga despite it's seemingly light-hearted tone.
One scene I'll never forget is that one where Masayoshi and Souma are walking to Souma's home and Souma stops Masayoshi from walking him all the way to his front door, and then we see that there's a ton of angry debt collection notices plastered all over his door. He's a kid and it's not his fault but he feels embarrassed by their poverty nonetheless. Another is when Masayoshi thinks to himself that he "doesn't have to ask to know if Souma is eating well" as he observes the boy's small frame and hunched shoulders.
But the most impactful moment in this story for me was when Souma tells Masayoshi that he's going away to live with his aunt while feigning indifference and Masayoshi, upset that Souma is again having to deal with losing his new friends and pretend to be okay with it all, angrily yells "so? what do you want me to do about it?!" and then finally Souma breaks down and finally acts like the child he is and cries that he doesn't want to go. It's so painfully obvious that he's had to grow up too soon.
I'm pretty sure I will someday forget the title of this manga but I will never forget this story. It's one of the reasons why Abe Akane's art style has become burned into my memory.
I remember making up all sorts of headcanon about these two back in the day when I first read this. It's still such a good manga.
is how the cousins don't have their own story. I really really really wish they were more than a side story.

With a title like that you wouldn't expect this to so great. It's a gem and reminds me a bit of that manga where the protagonist gained mind-reading abilities after turning 30 while still being a virgin.
I'm laughing so hard at the mock sudoku scene but that's actually messed up if you really think about it. Stans are weird af
Like an old friend, this was one of the few manga I would love to read over and over back when I was just a young person and still had plenty of innocence in me. Getting to read this again after all these years brings a tear to my eye. (• ‿ ,•)

I remember reading this for the first time when I was still a normal person. Still good.
Gentle bear-type giants are the best kind of seme. You can't change mind. (⌒▽⌒)
This is one of those manga that I read whenever I feek like shedding a few tears. The author does a great job of showing what I think is a really pure and faithful love and in so few chapters, something I think is weirdly or iconically very japanese. Most yaoi nowadays in webtoons and etc usually run for so many chapters. This one is a rare gem though it's an old one and absolutely a 10/10 for me. I'm so glad I got to read it.
The number of yaoi manga I've read where the characters just casually be jerking off together is astounding. I genuinely do not know if this is just a trope or if boys really do just casually beat their meat with their homies. Like is it the type of thing where it's ok as long as you don't make eye contact or if you say "no homo" afterwards? I just can't fathom it and at this point I don't even know anymore...
When he got down on his knees I almost threw my phone. I swear I never flinched so hard from the cringe in all my 30 years of life. Remind me why seme is "in love" with the uke, again? Because it seemed to me like he only promoted the poor uke from "occasional hole" to "exclusive hole" when he thought another guy was gonna use it. He's trash and this manga is trash and I'm trash for wasting time on this stupid thing smh
whenever I see this manga the cute scene at the end with the snake is what I remember the most for some reason lol
And what's up with akino how the f he gets girlfriends so easily lol
