Tsumaranai Otoko
I just loved the third story mainly because of the way the traumatic rape situation was handled. I just love how this mangaka didnt make the seme force himself on the uke in an attempt at trying to "cure" him, but rather let the uke go at his own pace. The seme understood the situation and loved the uke regardless of whether or not they would be able to make out. He didnt even try advancing until the uke said he was ready, which i think is so frikin rare in manga that deal with this issue. It was pretty short, but then again it was a oneshot and obviously expected to be resolved in a few pages. Great job mangaka!!! (●'◡'●)ﾉ its so cute how theyre on the same ground, so it wasnt an awkward power difference or smth like that. tho the one with satoru and atsushi were really good too, the trauma part rly got me sad, but i love how it was handled and sensei didnt magically make satoru "heal" atsushi's trauma just because hes his lover. that was rly good. the pretty guy from the 2nd story was meh,,, didnt rly like how he just went "get tf outta my place bc i cant handle my own shit u dumbass i love you" like chile ok sweetie yall just been buddies for roughly a week.... anyway! i loved sensei's works as always!!! UMM IM SORRY I COPIED THE COMMENTS FOR THIS BC I WAS TO LAZY TO TYPE. BUT I FELT THE SAME 8.5/10

MUAH MUAH MUAHHH MUAHHHHHHHH. THIS IS LIERALLY MY FAVORITE ROMANCE ANIME EVER. LIKE OMFGGG. LITERally loVE IT. AND IM SAD THAT THE ANIME ENDING ENDED LIKE THAT BUT THIS WAS JUST SOOO GOO. I WANT A KOU WTF HES LITERALLY SO PRETTY I WANT HIM. im so glad that ;like everyone got thr happy ending and stuff. i do feel bd fpr kiuchi-kun?. futaba knew that he didnt like him but she only used him to forget about kou. kou was also kind of ???? bc he was like "yeah yeah wtv i like her but im not goint to get together with her" so that was kind of annoying. i also do wish that the manga was longer, like going into the future and things like with their children and stuff. I also wanted to hear the song that kiukichi-kun? wrote for futaba. literally shoutout to him bc he was being used. also fuck narumi bc she like manipulated ? kou into like keepoing being friends wit her bc they had things in common and in a way she didnt lwt kou move on from his mom. like toxica asf. also i was a litter anxious when long haoir dudeconffesed to the gitl bc i thought she was going to reject him but im glad that she didnt. ok this is um from a comment i read and its like literally what i said but better; The absolute RAGE I feel whenever I think about Narumi, I don’t give a shit what happened, if you use your past and your own pain to hurt others knowingly and manipulate them you’re a piece of shit through and through. And I do dislike the fact that Kou despite knowing her true intentions still hung around her but I can’t blame him bc he tried finding comfort through relating with her. As for Touma, I really did like him but idk now thinking about him after all these years he definitely didn’t have any lead material. He wasn’t that interesting ig is what I’m tryna say, he’s truly a sweetheart but he and Futaba and zero chemistry and the purpose of their relationship was to strengthen Kou and Futaba’s relationship so I don’t really feel that terrible for him? But I do hope he’s happy. My favorite side characters were probably Shuuko and Kominato, they were real about Kou and Futaba’s relationship through and through and they pointed out the bullshit which I appreciated bc they spoke everything I was feeling. One thing I’m confused about though is Tanaka, he did like Shuuko right? And the only reason he didn’t accept her advances was bc of their situation. Bc if it was just him egging on Kominato I could dismiss it and be like “oh he’s probably just tryna be annoying” or “oh he’s just tryna fan the fire for their relationship” but even when no one was around he said “us brothers really do have bad luck” or something like that when he saw Futaba/Touma and Shuuko/Kominato. Anyways,,,,,,, KOU AKDKNANDNANDNA HES SO FUCKING ADORABLE I LOVE THAT MF SO MUCH, he really made me cry like a bitch and just thinking about the shit he went through makes me wanna cry again bc I kinda relate, but when he was finally going back to his brighter self he was so fucking adorable and idk like not childish or clumsy but he was a lot more interactive :((( bruh I love him so much. nyways i really loved the anime/manga so so so much. 12/10

THEY ARE SO CUTE. when I first watched the anime I absolutely fell in love. Otani is such an idiot but I love their relationship so much. I’m on chapter 15 and she just confessed but since he’s so dumb he thought she was lying LMFAOOAO. This is such a good read. If you’re feeling down then this would definitely help. I wish I had the manga for this it’s so pretty. & I love this story. AHHHHGG I JUST READ THE CHOATER WJERE OTANU REALIZES THAT RISA IS RHE ONE HE LIKES. I watched the anime before this but I already forgot what happens next so i can wait to read the other chapters!!! absolutely wonderful story! HE FINALLY KISSED JER!!!! AHHHHHH IM SO HAPPY THAT OTANI WENT TROUGH THAT JEALOUS STAGE !! UGHH THIER REACTION IS SO PRETTY. I’m at the part where she gets the job and otani is in cram school so they really don’t have time for each other. But I can’t help but cry because they broke up. I already know that they are getting back together but it’s just like.. yk?? YOU CANT JUST PUT A SAD CHAPTER IN BETWEEN THE STORY. WHAT WAS THAT CHAPTER ABOUT BRO OMG THAT WAS SAD. I THINK CHAPTER 47.5 hai rereading this on August 12 2024! I love this so so so much

Erm the ending could’ve been better The story is cute, and it's really to my taste. But, gosh... Haruka's supposed cute or funny expressions, or whatever they are, sometimes look like a literal baby. 5/10
