Wakaresaseya No Koi

Ongoing | koiwazurai shibito | 2000 released

A Wakaresaseya is a breakup artist, someone who is hired to interfere in illicit relationships to break them up or provide evidence for divorce procedings. Takumi is especially good at this type of job because he doesn't care about the feelings of anyone involved. He just wants to make a quick buck and pay off his mortgage and living expenses, and this was the only job he could find after college. The question is whether he will still feel this way after his first male target, Ryou. Koiwazurai Shibito has a unique style and, usually, I find her characters emote too much for the situations they get tangled up in, but the story is light and breezy (even if the 'cute' tag baffles me — no, people, this is NOT cute) and Takumi gets a much better 'ever after' than he deserves.

Sakasa Moji nara Suki da to Ieru

Ongoing | Fujio, Hideyoshico, ICHIKAWA Kei, JARYUU Dokuro, OGERETSU Tanaka | 2014 released

Ogeretsu Tanaka's gorgeous drawings center around the good time party boy, Ryou, and his childhood friend, Kouji, who takes their random sex romps seriously, making love with all his heart. Is this enough to break through Ryou's frivolity?

Link - Boku To Kimi No Aida

Complete | katase waka | 2000 released

Primarily about the relationship which develops between Mitsu, an overly sensitive young man with a tendency to withhold his self-expression to the point that misunderstandings often crop up, and Tsuburaya, a historical novelist who gets so busy that he cannot look after himself, against the background of a boarding house with roommate who care for each other, and school chums who want to create friendships. Mainly an interesting character study and more shounen ai than yaoi.

Realist ni Yoru Romanticism

Complete | Kinoshita Keiko | 2000 released

Interesting story about an average young man who lands a job, through his father's connections, as an assistant to a super-intellect and egoist, a professor with few organizational skills of his own.
