nobile's manga / #hopeful ending(445)

The young heir to a yakuza family seems to have found a man that is just his type, he seems to be a swindler though. Despite his bodyguard's protest he continues seeing this man, even when that means he'll get in tell trouble with another yakuza family. Second story is about the bodyguard friend and the aftermath of getting his heart broken.

A boy who feels like he's been left alone transferred to a new school and moved to the dorms there. He is put under the care of a Sempai that seems to want to keep his distance from him as well. Turns out the Sempai used to be the caregiver type, but something happened the year before that made him stay away from others.

There is a festival every 7 years, to celebrate the god of the sea; the head miko performs a dance while the doors to the other world open and she becomes engaged to marry the god of the sea. On the last festival, a girl found a boy stranded ashore, nobody knew about him nor where he came from. She felt a strong attachment to that boy, so she convinced her father to adopt him as her little brother. Seven years later, the festival is coming up and the girl is expected to be the Head Miko and perform the dance, but she doesn't want any attachments to anything, she values her freedom, and the boy will do anything to protect her, the ones she loves, and her wishes; even if that means letting go of the one thing he wants to be near.

A princess went on a search to find a dragon to help her take her country back from her uncle who betrayed her. She managed to find a dragon, but he refuses to help... He's not a complete dragon like all the others. Ch12 supposedly there are 2 more chapters, but who knows if they'll ever show here...

What can I say... I held off reading the last 5 chapters, not wanting this story to end. My seasonal allergies kicked in just as I decided to finish the story at last, I'm completely unable to breathe at this moment. I love the story, all the characters became so dear to me, seeing them say farewell was like saying goodbye to my own friends. I will definitely come back and read this story again, if only I could reconnect the same way with the ones I had to part with once.

Cute, short story about a guy who finally gathered enough courage to bait his neighbour using oden to have a meal with him for the first and last time.

Stockholm Syndrome at its best xD

Names aside (and Shizuo being played by Izaya), I couldn't really find much from the Durarara characters in this story. The art was nice, despite the fact that they didn't quite look like the original guys, but it wasn't too bad. Took me a bit to really get the story, but I did like it.

Salaryman admires a man he's been noticing at his train every morning; dresses well, seems quite composed, and confident. One day the man saves him from being wrongfully accused of fondling a woman in the train, after talking for a while they learn they have a few things in common. Eh.. It started like it would have a well developed story, but soon enough it just changed the pace and everything happened all at once.

A man accidentally enters his neighbour's apartment after coming home from work while drunk. Surprisingly, her finds his neighbour's home cooking quite delicious, but also gets a strange feeling like his eyes remind him of someone he can't recall.
