Just like pink and blue merge at sunset, Nagisa’s pink hair and Issa’s passion for deep blue sea fishing merge in such a fluffy love story about two childhood friends with very different personalities and aspirations in life. One thing in common, their love for each other. Their love language, having salmon together.

Sister played Cupid from 6 feet under — as her Sakura tree bloomed for the first time, a forbidden love she blessed from the grave officially surfaced. As Yuki and his Nii-san both walk hand by hand to overcome their grief and guilt, they recognise in the other their only hope and reason to keep on living. Yuki’s quest for happiness has just began. The future is bright.
Honestly, Idk why everyone is so salty about it. They’re not related by blood, and there’s something so poetic about two people grieving the same person together and finding in the other the force to keep going.

The sea can give and the sea can take. Five years ago, the sea has taken Shuu’s brother away from him, and since then he’s worn the bracelet he gifted him as a token of his love, reminding him that that wild feeling of freedom he’s striving for has many risks. But his surfing led him to Nanami, his classmate’s little brother, who goes on a walk with his dog everyday, and everyday admires him gliding flawlessly on the waves. Nanami is the first person to make Shuu smile after that fateful day. As a kiss under the rain leads to another under the fireworks, their friendship quickly progresses into something more. Shuu knows he’s not gonna lose him to the sea too, otherwise he won’t set foot in the sea again, so he’ll stand beside him every step of the way. A love story that tastes like sea salt and summer.

This was such a refreshing read. Unlike most Omegaverse stories, it didn’t revolve around abuse or trauma; instead, it focused on a healthy, well-balanced dynamic between two characters who were genuinely perfect for each other.
The MC was pretty and shorter than his love interest, but not in the stereotypically feminine way. His easily-irritated, independent, and competitive nature brought so much life and humor to the story. The chemistry between him and the LI was spot-on, and their interactions felt natural and fun.
I especially loved how the MC was the one actively flirting and fighting for their relationship to happen, even though it was actually the ML who had been nursing a long-time crush on him. It flipped the usual dynamic in such a satisfying way.

The concept of two bisexual guys with an ex in common getting together after her death will never stop intriguing me—especially when she, whether intentionally or not, ends up playing Cupid from beyond the grave.
By the end of the story, it’s heavily implied that Shouji is Meguru’s biological father, but Ririko knew that Sentarou—steadfast, emotionally aware, deeply loyal—was a better choice for Meguru’s emotional well-being than her actual father.
Ririko was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and her naive facade hid a truly cunning nature. Much of her character is filtered through the memories and assumptions of others, but small moments—like the will—reveal a strategic mind. She paired Sentarou with Touma, a man who evolved over the course of the manga, moving from a reluctant guardian into someone genuinely committed. The pairing feels very intentional. It’s likely she knew about Sentarou’s feelings for Touma, who could challenge him emotionally, while Touma needed someone emotionally open like Sentarou to break down his walls.
In other words, Ririko didn’t just want Meguru to be raised by good people—she wanted to give these two men she cared for and trusted a chance to become better versions of themselves, together. She had a vision, and she was the catalyst, haunting the narrative from beginning to end.
If only there had been a couple more chapters exploring Sentarou’s music career and Touma’s life after the fall of the yakuza group he worked for it would’ve been perfect.

Settling down after a life of wandering — the chaotic love story of a bounty hunter and a grifter
I loved the unique setting in the Far West, which is quite uncommon for Asian BLs, as well as the cat and mouse dynamic between the characters.
It’s great that the ambiguity around Johnny’s nature as a scammer or con-artist remains unresolved until the very end.
On the other hand, I think some aspects could have been explored more deeply, including Johnny’s actual past beyond what he tells, since we know it’s partly true and partly embellished or made up.
Similarly, the character of Bill could have been developed further. He’s the man from the gang who chases Calahan throughout the story, seeking revenge for a moment when Callahan showed him mercy in the past, which ended up humiliating him.
Also, it’s a bit hard to believe that these two fell in love in just ten days. However, it does make sense that they built a strong connection based on a powerful chemistry, considering they saved each other multiple times during that time span.
Even though they began their journey as a bounty hunter and his prisoner, they ended it as lovers who, after a lifetime of wandering for different reasons, finally settled down together and found peace. But the story ends on a cliffhanger, because we know that Bill has escaped from prison, and this peace they’ve found could, at any moment, come crashing down.
A sequel or some side stories would certainly be very much appreciated.
P.S. (1) I live for Calahan muscular hairy chest
P.S. (2) The chimps chapters were crazy

Without Matthew there’s no redemption, no healing, no hope. Matthew was the one who waited. Matthew’s persistence and unwavering hope are what saved Jin in the end. He was the one who held onto that tiny thread of connection, even when it seemed hopeless. Matthew didn’t just bring Jin back into his life—he reminded him of the person he used to be, what his original purpose used to be. It made him realise how sidetracked he had been for so many years after Brandon took him in, that he had lost sight of his original purpose, consumed by the apparent need for survival and power. But above all, it reminded him that the reason why he entered the mob never was to climb the ranks, but to afford a dignified life for him and that little kid he wanted to protect at all costs. “I always choose him”: it’s not just love—it’s devotion, guilt, hope, and this desperate need for redemption all rolled into one. If Matthew hadn’t chased him, Jin would’ve stayed lost in that cycle of violence and power, forgetting what it was to feel again. And Jin, despite everything, chose him in the end. Not power, not ambition—just Matthew.
I may not ironically have cried unstoppably from chapter 74 onwards. I’m so moved!

Beautifully said, Jin said thankyou to matthew for saving him while matthew thought that jin is the one who actually saved him but in truth both saved each other but matthews persistent efforts actually made this possible even when jin was stubborn, even though matthew did cross lines but they would never reach the happy end unless matthew took some action and he did give his all and sincerely apologized for his mistakes. Matthew is best boy fr
The fear of being a burden to the person you love and holding them back was a direct consequence of Subaru also holding himself back. He had given up on fulfilling his dream of traveling the world to visit the locations from Touga’s pictures, accepting he had to settle for a simple life, doomed to observe life but not truly experience it. Yet, Touga’s love set him in motion. As Subaru realized he could live the life he had always wished for and deserved, Touga realized his pictures didn't suck people’s souls but, on the contrary, appeared to inspire them.
The moments of their journey are incredibly touching: Subaru’s back portrait at Touga’s solo exhibition, the accessible apartment Touga found for him, the double ring he gave him, the start of their journey around the world together, the wishes they made and will continue to make to shooting stars… The fluff was almost too much; my heart couldn’t handle it!
This manga beautifully reminds us, through Touga's words to Subaru, to never stop making wishes to shooting stars. Absolutely waiting for volume 3!
