Toraneko no Shitsukekata
dropped after finishing ch2 showing the struggles and life of these two guys just after starting high school. they got together in middle school. chap 1 was about jealousy of girls and chap 2 was a step towards their first time having sex. i guess chap 3 will expand upon that further. seme is super tall serious guy and uke is dummy delinquent
Natsu ni Mebuku wa Koi no Oto
too boring. new student comes in second year and the social butterfly makes sure to involve him cuz he looks a bit gloomy. fall in love with his smile and always wants to make the new guy smile. confesses to the new guy and he kinda agrees. in later chapter says he just agreed in the moment without really liking the social guy back lol. but in the end his feelings turn genuine and they are shown having sex and graduating high school.
Totsugimasen Kara!
rich alpha is looking for a wife. the uke gets sent by his family not knowing it was for this purpose. he kinda picks on the alpha at first cuz he doesn't care and had a plan to just get his money and divorce lol. anyway ofc they fall in love between their bickering and stuff. another omega actually falls in love with the uke too like why did the author put this in?! idk..... and then they get married and they have their first night implied at the end, where they're going to make babies lol.
Slow Starter (ichikawa Kei)
how could i ever forget this story. two guys meeting on a deserted train everyday and becoming friends. going to a cultural festival together and there's a little confession scare. some misunderstanding angst here. they confess to each other and they're together, how cute!! the second volume is pretty disappointing, but it does show snapshots from their time in uni and also from their time in high school. one shot about a guy whose emotions start showing physical signs on his chest. his friend who loves him tests him by saying he's married and then takes it back and then confesses and they get together. his heart goes through stages like a hole, a demon, loud ringing, and thumping. another oneshot with good misunderstanding angst. they are together just recently but suddenly no sex for 2 months. uke is worried he's been thrown to the side. turns out seme just didn't want the uke to hurt so much in sex and he wanted to see uke take initiative with initiating physical contact.
Colorful Line
these two are friends, one always comforting the other when he gets dumped by girls. but the comforting guy actually likes his friend and that's why he stays by his side. but one drunken night he kisses his friend. next day his friend realizes he loves the other guy back. but the initial guy is wary because he thinks entering a relationship means breaking up one day and would rather just stay by his side. or at least he lies to himself like this. so the other guy actually has to initiate a lot of stuff and kinda chase him down. but he gets kind of fed up one day too. then they're like cold to each other for a while cuz both think they were in the wrong or whatever before finally making up. idk it was decent but nothing groundbreaking.
Machigitsune to Hito no Ko
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.
Ichi Ni no San!
they are childhood friends and also another girl. they have developed feelings for each other. there is also a girl they are friends with. at one point the uke thought seme liked her. anyway it's very slice of life again, like this author's other works. seme kisses the uke which leads to everything being clear and they go on a date and get together. very natural this author is so good at drawing, especially human figures. everything was so well proportioned. great storyteller too. she is so talented, seriously.
Mayoke no Darling
scary senpai and fluffy kouhai. everyone scared of the senpai but not the uke here. senpai falls in love quickly and confesses but the uke misunderstands. eventually he kinda confesses again after they get closer and they get together. extra has them sexually touching. contains a one shot of two guys, high school 2nd year and just graduated, bonding over their dogs. but nothing explicitly romantic happened.
Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shika Nai!
pretty cute, but the characters are not really my type. this unlucky guy who is actually angry inside always pretends to be cute and fine meets a super lucky guy who always wins everything lol. and together their lucks balance out to a normal person's luck. at first the unlucky guy was just using the other guy, but then feelings turn real. through a misunderstanding, they start going out very soon. lucky guy is kind of just going along with it, but starts having feelings as well as they do stuff together. and then there's forced cohabitation kinda cuz the unlucky guy's apartment keeps having issues. the unlucky guy is also super shy about kissing and nowhere near close to having sex even at the end lol.
