Ore To Joushi No Kakushikoto
hate the blond guy in the beginning, the worst type of boss but I like the detail they go into his character. He had a one night stand with a coworker on accident then they both blackmail each other, one with a consensual recording of what they did and the other with proof that he’s an otaku. It’s nice enough and they’re in their late 20’s
40 Made ni Shitai 10 no Koto
️AHHHHHHHHH I’m going to die. I love this author, everyone’s late 20s and up!! 39yr office worker makes a list of things he wants to do before 40 and his subordinate sees it and decides to help him complete it. I love how they hang out and have realistic worries, it’s just perfect!!!
Renchin!
️it’s so good I cried Construction worker eats alone everyday after his unrequited love he used to eat with got married and quit but then he meets a food reporter and they start to have lunch together. Reporter loves eating and loves eating with Mc! I love how this story good into the mcs trauma so to say and doesn’t magically make it go away. Also the reporter is so blunt and honest to himself it helps the other come out. I LOVE THIER LOVE!! One shot prequel: ch. 5 https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/sofure_buka/
Houkago Edge
️I wanna die in the good way!!! He’s cross dressing at a store and his classmate recognizes him and uses it as blackmail, but really he’s just helping him go out more in public but pushing him tooo much out of his comfort zone . I love the characters!! They’re flawed, selfish, say things before thinking, can’t say things out of embarrassment, and pushy. makes them feel like realistic asshole teens “I like you because of who you are you”. AHHHHHHHHG
Kimi ni Ienai Koto ga Aru
️I wanted to gouge my eyes out repeatedly, it’s too good!! Sobbing Sunshine guy but also perfectionist/ self-critical with internalized homophobia rejects the love of his life because of it, wanting him to live a “normal” happy life.The other guy had a troubled home life and low self esteem but he confronted his feelings and ends up heartbroken. It’s a happy ending I swear!!! I love fleshed out characters!!! They have legit careers and aspirations on top of this!!
Konosaki wa Futarikiride
️ HHHFHDSHJKKKFDGS!!! I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop, I was so anxious the whole read but it was all as good as it seemed! They both deserve the world. Trying to keep a crush on best friend secret leads to confessing when a girl comes into the picture, but then they seamlessly start dating and being fluffy, but not in the typical never happens way, idk how to describe it. AND they talk things out + a little internalize homophobia confronting! I’m jealousy beyond belief
Boku no Papa to Papa no Hanashi
️I am healed. Established married couple adopted a baby and raise him in a loving home! They face their domestic troubles together and handle society’s views on same sex couples, they are really raising a great kid!!! I want what they have. Also side character got his own story: I’d like to write about love (not yet published, but looking forward to it)
