dropped mid chap 2. just not into these long haired flashy guys i guess. also idk, like i know this author's work is usually like confession or whatever in the first page, and this is no different, but a kiss just feels too much? and drinking again. not very creative. something like flashy popular guy likes the dull guy and kisses him when drunk. idk and he has some plan to make the guy his or at least some plan to use him idk cuz invited him over by lying he broke something and needs to take responsibility.

dropped after chap 2. each chapter seems to be a separate oneshot. very disappointing so far even though i thought this author was ok before? nvm. this author's covers always look amazing and draw me in but i realized i don't like any of her stories and the art inside is pretty basic. first chapter about a freeloader showing up and they fuck and suddenly they like each other. second story kind of weird, about two childhood friends who like each other and get together, but told through the perspective of their mutual friend. idk just didn't seem like bl cuz it was more like his life and just happened to have some gay friends and gay stuff happening in the all boys school.

dropped mid chap 2. too many random side characters i just don't like it. also the story is focused a lot on the random happenings of the side characters to tell the relationship story i guess. it does look more real, but i just want more relationship moments so idk. not into the glasses guy either cuz he's kind of too serious and powerful and weird idk.

Machigitsune to Hito no Ko

Complete | Nmura | 2019 released

set in pre-ww2 tokyo. guy comes to tokyo to study (age 21) and he starts living at this fox spirit guy's house. never clarified what is the fox thing. slowly developing feelings for each other. fox spirit was friends with his grandfather 40+ years ago. there's some stuff about the fox hating humans but not him and not his grandfather and it's never really explained why. but ofc they get together. after dating 6 months still no sex cuz fox waiting for the student to graduate uni. idk i don't really like these historical or supernatural stories. but there were no problems so 4 stars. story is honestly 3 stars. art is not bad, but just this story is so boring to me.

Suki da Nante Zettai ni Iwanai

Complete | CHIBA Tayuri | 2016 released

super cute!! childhood friends already loving each other in elementary school lol but probably not romantically? anyway they are the same age, some months apart. the older one's mom died when he was 1, so always hung out at the younger one's house. when they were in 6th grade, older confessed to younger but got rejected cuz duh children. then younger regrets so much and goes to the same high school as the older in order to find him. not explained how he knew lol but they end up as roommates. older one obviously still has feelings cuz he kisses the other in his sleep. the younger pretends to be homesick to get the older to sleep with him. there's some backstory about the older one being rebellious in middle school due to step mom and shit and some older gf called manami but it's not really explained well... he called her up again but now she's pregnant and engaged lol. anyway, basically the younger is frustrated that the older has started avoiding him. older just didn't want his feelings to develop any further. younger rampages through the older's desk and finds an old childhood drawing of the two of them and his mom. kinda knows for sure now that the older one still likes him. goes out to find him hanging with his old punkish friends. drags him back home to their village to tell their mom so the older one will stop feeling guilty for stealing the younger one's possible future with wife and kids. ofc mom is ok and says she always knew. cute, the end! no sex.

don't get this story at all even though i read the whole thing lol. these two might or might not legally be cousins?? idk what the seme's relationship is with the woman, cuz they seem like step mom and son, but the uke is her nephew. so they used to hang together when young. uke promised to stay with seme and take care of him and stuff. but ofc his parents were like no wtf. so seme felt like uke lied to him. and i guess they never talked again. now they are both adults. meet each other again but seme forgot uke. uke confesses fast and seme only agrees to date cuz he wants to get his hands on some secret manuscript that the uke has/wrote? like it tells the story of his family or something and the woman who might be his step mom really wanted to keep it from being published. so he gets close to uke for that purpose and uke knows but is ok with it. he even tells seme the combination to the door lock. uke asks for a last kiss or something and idk kinda forgot but they got together cuz seme realized his feelings became real along the way. they fuck. the end.

very confusing story. lots of flashback and forth and dialogue that pretends to be deep. or just bad translation sometimes i suspect. basically these childhood friends always together, uke helping seme when they were young. then some point in high school he realized his friend was super good photographer and uke felt like he was just holding him back? so he kinda distanced himself. i think he already had feelings for seme cuz he got all stiff when topic of gfs came up. they are both kinda expressionless though. anyway, at this time seme totally like him too and always took photos of him. thought he was his muse. they are now in uni and it's basically a story of uke seeing seme's feelings for him in photographs and them getting together. then going to america together cuz seme is studying abroad and uke decided last minute to come with. i guess cuz it dealt with photography the mangaka wanted to make it artsy and stuff idk but confusing.

so this is mostly a comedy showing their school life and just in the last two chapters some non-subtle romantic reactions occur. a slice of life. a half white guy and a short guy. those are their insecurities. they become friends cuz neither care about the other's supposed faults. through scenes of friendship and some falling over on top of each other moments lol they develop feelings. some very sweet moments of tenderly holding hands. then ofc a misunderstanding separation before getting together. at the end the half white decides to stop hiding he is a half, only to find out everyone already knew.

Kamisama to Tobenai Tsukai

Complete | Hagi | 2018 released

so one is a kinda a god and one is attendant to gods. they used to be childhood friends but the god got banished cuz his power is kinda scary to the other gods. when he left/banished he erased the attendant's memories and said i love you. the attendant can't fly even though all the other attendants can, so he's bullied a lot. he gets assigned to be the god's attendant and they have a good relationship. the god can eat the evil corruption that's consuming their land. it's getting kind of bad and he's helping eat it but if he eats too much he gets kinda weak and it's painful. around this time the attendant helps another god and gets his memories back. anyway, some drama happens where the god has to eat a lot to save the main god who raised him when little. then the attendant guy helps him when he's like that and he helps the attendant back cuz the attendant went a little far. blah blah they save each other. at the end they decide to leave the lands together cuz the god didn't feel like it was home idk and the corruption was solved there. the attendant just wants to follow him wherever. he says he loves the god back, ofc. very good story telling like this author fit a lot of story into this 1 volume. well each chapter is like 50 pages long. but i kinda didn't like the ending where they leave and everything is kinda too perfect?? cuz when he needed to save the god, the attendant even flies for a few seconds even though he had never done so before. idk it was too perfect in some ways and not perfect enough in others lol. i just have seeing people being separated when i like them all together :/
