blackjacaranda's manga / #Cafe/Restaurant(2)

Chapter 4.5 (12 February 2013) Summary: Nishina is doing well at his prestigious company but after divorcing from a loveless marriage his success at work seems empty. A chance meeting at a cafe brings him into contact with the owner, Miyama, an old high-school classmate. It seems that Miyama has forgotten him until he asks Nishina why he's no longer wearing a wedding ring and what Nishina said to him 10 years ago in high school. This one is good. I underestimated this at the beginning since it seemed boring. But, after I forced myself to read through the end, I just realised that it had more meaning that it showed to me. Like, really good. At first I didn't know who the seme was and who the uke was, but it was obvious in some chapter. The seme, Miyama, was bothered by the failure of his first love in high school with Nishina. After ten years of graduation, they met again. Nishina who was married and then divorced because he seemed to not being able to forget his past, and Miyama who just couldn't let anyone love him. Their re-encounter triggered the old feelings from the past, and complicated things even more. But I just love how they got back together. Even though, it seemed like, Miyama still couldn't trust a hundred percent of Nishina's feeling for him. Great, I love the art. As expected from the mangaka of Yuuutsu na Asa. 8.5 9 8.5 8.5

Chapter 1 (21 May 2012) Summary: Nanafuji is a regular customer at the cafe where Kaji works at as a waiter. The two became quite friendly when Kaji returned Nanafuji's lost cellphone to him. Kaji told Nanafuji that he had a problem with a stalker and the latter suggested that he should pretend to be Kaji's lover to make the stalker will give up on Kaji... I liked this one shot. Even though it only has thirty-five pages, all the conflict was perfectly drawn and told here. The uke was so clever for using his sister as a fake stalker so that he could get together with the seme. The seme too, he was so dense, yet understandable at the same time. I like the sex scene even though it was brief. Yet the kiss scene and fellatio were hot and satisfying. I liked it, even though the ending was a bit cliche. Still. This is a nice story. 3.5 3.5 3.5 4
