I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #school life(125)

Realistic character-centric story with beautiful drawings about a high school boy with strong morals who hates liars, and the former delinquent who tries to reform his personality to suit him. The first chapter reads like a oneshot, but it's ongoing.

Laid-back Narasaki gets thrown into the job of library supervisor and babysitter for the much wilder Natsuke, who takes to surprise!kissing him. Narasaki is so laid back, it takes him weeks to figure out what that means, throwing Natsuke into a self-inflicted rejection/self-loathing feedback loop. Funny and real.

Cute and funny starter manga for Yuge Sasamaru. (1) Enthusiastic student uses the excuse of curing the condition of inverted nipples (are these a problem? Really?) as a reason for sex. Have to hand it to that seme's "leave it to me" attitude. (2) A student, saved from a mugging, falls for his hero in such a big way that the nonplussed delinquent hasn't got a chance. (3) More hero worship from a subordinate to his work supervisor. Goodnatured and fun crack.

Two boyfriends at school embarrass their friends with all their cutesy-wootsiness.

What a fantastic story! So warm and real. Okay, it's got a touch of crack, but in a good way. I suspect the reason older bro is so down on them is because he has an unrequited thing for the other older bro, too. That would make for a promising yaoi-land fairytale ending. That, and sex.

Iwami and Takaoka are a classic idiot couple, until Takaoka presses the issue. I love the art. The story has a very earthy approach, especially with Iwami's sisters, and that third chapter is perfect.

Miyamoto Kamo's classic yaoi story about Ryuu, the boy with the tattoo and dark past who transfers from Osaka to Tokyo, Hitomi, the fellow schoolboy who falls for him, and Taiga, the boy who falls for Hitomi. Spanning about a decade, this beautifully illustrated and slow-moving story follows their unrequited passions, reveals Ryuu's tragic past and uncovers treachery in the present. An absolutely superb tale in every sense! Realistic and deeply satisfying to read.

Two separate stories. (2) Page 106: The story where the one roommate jumps out a window and sprains his ankle in order to avoid seeing the roommate he thinks rejected him. Two young men share a college dorm, but since one has been harbouring a secret crush on the other throughout their stay, he is anxious to find his own place. The other roommate is reluctant to let him. (1) Bratty kid takes friends up on a bet that he can't seduce the school nurse, a handsome man. The nurse gives him the best kiss of his life, and changes him forever. Sadly for him, the nurse spotted him miles away and was just toying with him. Now he has to win him back, or so he thinks.
