danini's manga / #age gap(353)

a year after having his heart broken, asahi meets yuu -- similar to the man he loved, he begins to fall again turns out yuu is his younger brother.. really really lovely read, everyone was kind / accepting (in the main storyline), their love was so sweet and consensual!!

beautiful story, very cute and gentle art style, i loved how grief and moving on were addressed. a uni student is living on his own for the first time, and meets his neighbour by chance. techno ends up enamoured with his neighbours garden, and helps out with it as often as he can. they grow closer, but aoi still thinks of the person who grew the garden...

mc's grandfather saved his young student who was being abused. the student fell in love with him, but feelings were not returned. many years later and the student, now an adult, visits the grandpa's family -- where he meets the grandson (mc).. short and sweet, a lot is packed into 12 pages

beware rape tag :( ? --> nothing successful, and no rape between main pairing :)

1. dubcon salaryman x salaryman 2. salaryman x bookstore employee. cute, liked how they could rely on each other. 3. historical writer x soldier. rape + marking (forced tattoo), but it is made clear they don't see another option as a m/m couple. this one stuck with me, and seeing the depth of their feelings by the end was emotional

trauma felt glossed over in the relationship, and i don't really know why any of them felt any affection for each other?
