abe's manga / #cute(28)

[] not really something i would wanna re-read tbh but it was cute nonetheless!

[happy ending] ikumi is a handsome, cheerful and popular university student, returning home for the summer, where he meets harukiyo, an edgy-looking gardener working temporarily at his house. harukiyo is cold to him and tries to avoid him, leading ikumi to discover the shy personality behind the piercings when harukiyo admits that he gets nervous in front of cool guys. their friendship begins to warm, but suddenly, after seeing a smiling and shirtless harukiyo, ikumi feels something strange in his chest... mainly fluff, no big conflict what so ever. lots of sex scenes tho, especially the last chapter

[happy ending] uke was raped for being an omega and releasing an omega scent. this made him loath alphas and raised his child alone without finding a soulmate. however, seme met uke and found out that he was his life partner and respected the shit out of the uke and even restraint himself during the uke's heat. it's kinda smutty, the last few chapters. heartwarming story i guess despite it starting from a rape scene.

[happy ending] koutarou works at the deli at the grocery store. one day, he notices that the salary man he sees all the time, wataru, always buys the dishes that he makes. when wataru's favorite food at the deli is sold out, he's pretty disappointed, so koutarou calls out to him to invite him to dinner. However, koutarou finds himself gradually becoming attracted to wataru... really mature shounen ai with mature and understanding male leads. mature looking leads as well, they actually do look like adults unlike some manga

[happy ending] seme uses underwear to draw attention of the uke. uke is fragile having been dumped numerous times so seme who was initially straight have to keep convincing him. there is also only full chapter dedicated to sex.

[happy endings] 3 pairings, dense uke first pairing : it was pretty alright, there was an element of time travel of some sort which made it interesting. second pairing : stupid af uke but i guess it was adorable as well third pairing : the best out of the three because it wasn't really stupid stupid. uke made a promise to seme that he was gonna marry him when he was 15

[happy ending] kinda boring, slow-paced but realistic romance a father is stressed beyond his capacity to cope while trying to raise his preschool-aged daughter while working in a japanese restaurant. he is saved by a hopeless flirt and serially unfaithful gay customer who is attracted to him, but he is straight and very suspicious of such a flighty man. the relationship takes time to develop and is full of realistic emotional responses. the daughter is adorable and the ending is full of cheer! it's a really realistic and beautiful story but really slow and boring to read
