nobile's manga / #compilation(96)

1sy story: spoiled girl falls for the one person that doesn't give her preferential treatment, they both influence each other to become better people.

Super adorable story about two guys that fall in love, despite their 15-year age difference. Includes some extra stories about different couples, all seemingly in high school.

It seems all of Sensei's oneshots end just a little bit before they should...

So many stories, this book compiles two other books (and a handful of other related stories) so that you can read everything in one go. I discovered that many of those stories were actually connected to other ones, I was quite pleased. Also, many of the stories here seemed to be sort of like a dark take on famous fairy tales, I loved that.

4 couples, for those with more than 1 chapter per couple, each chapter is told from the other person's perspective. 1st couple: Guy gets dumped after having quit his job, goes out drinking with old friends for consolation. I'm a drunken rant he informs them that he hates all women and that he'll become gay from now on. Next morning he wakes up with one of his buddies in bed with him, both naked; his friend tells him that he has always had a crush on him and that he took advantage of the situation to have sex with him. 2nd couple: 2 of the other friends that were trying to console their friend in the previous chapter, find themselves making out and having sex. One, because he's dismayed that the guy he had had a crush on started dating a good-for-nothing friend they had in common. The other, trying to console his friend's broken heart, decides to pressure him into it, despite already having a girlfriend. 3rd couple: A recent divorcé is being helped by the young owner of a small restaurant. 4th couple: Curious child befriends the owner of a pornographic website that features teenaged-boys after he's been doing a photoshoot with a few of them. Honestly, if not for the last couple, I probably would've rated this 5/5, but child pornography and paedophilia are where I draw the line.

Three couples, two of them are connected at the very end. 1st couple: Freelance software dev hires a former Uni kouhai as his second assistant, that guy actually has had a crush on the first dude since their Uni days and is on cloud nine at the opportunity to be close to him. Unfortunately for him, this kouhai exudes massive amounts of strong pheromones that make everyone around him want to securely molest him 24/7, but the one guy he wishes would desire him seems to be immune to the pheromones. 2nd couple: Ordinary guy discovers that the Prince from his high school is now a Uni classmate; remembering all the borderline-stalker data he knows of him thanks to his former crush's infatuation with the Prince, he's not sure how to behave around him, whether he should hate him, envy him, or simply acknowledge his interest on him. Meanwhile, the Prince has taken a liking on this guy and wants to spend more time with him, making him the target of every girl's hate around campus. 3rd couple: This was perhaps the only story I actually liked. A very beautiful looking man working in a konbi catches the attention of a quiet man that often visits it late at night. One night it seemed like konbi-guy left work just as soon as the quiet man was done with his purchase, apparently both heading the same direction; feeling a bit awkward, the quiet man attempts to talk to him just before konbi-guy pushed him down the bushes and gives him a headjob. Utterly confused and embarrassed, the man apologises profusely and runs away in near tears.
