danini's manga / #reencounter(198)

aaah my favourite trope :') love this sm

emotional.. first vol. was my favourite!! but second one was just chock full of cuteness

nonokawa left the countryside after his feelings for his childhood friend became known... 12 years later he returns to the village

asakura saw his childhood friend having ***, and ran away. 4 years later they meet again as room mates at a boarding school. Some really good angst and regret, but also sweet moments and that feeling of never giving up on your love. a really really good read :')

love a together -> conflict (LDR) -> time apart (break up) -> reencounter story :'))

perfect, other than the rapey bit at the beginning. the sex was really great!! very cute and caring, but also fun and light-hearted, and hot ofc

plot wasn't necessarily 5 star worthy (though, as always, reencounters really butter my ... nuts?), but the art (and the expressions!! holy emotions they were really good at inducing sympathy) was amazing!

udou stole his first love's girlfriend in highschool because he couldn't take seeing them together. They stopped being friends and he quit the basketball team they played on together. 8 years later and they meet again by chance... udou's unrequited feelings are just as strong as before, and he can only take so much :'( my favourite trope + beautiful art / expressions + empathetic and self aware characters + healthy relationships!! amazing!! udou completely acknowledged he was being shitty!! i love this so much **SUPPOSEDLY THERE ARE MORE SEQUELS!!!!**
