katlovesfries's manga / #slice of life(11)

SUMMARY [There are a few unusual things about Cafe Goyo. Number one, their coffee sucks. Number two, their customers never order off the menu. And number three, Yohan, the cafe manager, is deaf. So when Soohwa joins as a part-timer, though he is not expected to learn how to make good coffee, he is asked to expand his sign language vocabulary beyond the words, “higher,” “pay,” and “please.” But when Yohan offers to give him private lessons, Soohwa is reluctant. Not because he doesn’t want to study, but because he has a “hard” time around Yohan. Like, literally. He gets hard. Whenever he hears Yohan’s deep, sexy voice.] Cute, cute, cute. This is a must-read in the yaoi genre. I love the fact that one of the main characters is deaf. The plot is good, and I realy enjoyed the experience of reading it. Would recommend for someone who craves a sweet romance to get through a bad day.

SUMMARY [Yuudai is a "in the closet" gay. He puts up a straight perverted front for everyone. He is so used to lying he can't confess and come out to his crush, Kimikazu. One night however, after a drinking party, Kimikazu shows his interest... Will Yuudai be able to be his true self?] I really like that this oneshot puts focus on not feeling safe with coming out to your friends or family. My heart was breaking a bit, when the two of them couldn't be honest with each other, but the ending made me extremely happy.

I can already tell from the first chapter that I'm going to enjoy this one. It looks promising. Love Akitaka og Jin's dynamic so far, and the kiss was cute, too. But it's not being updated at the moment, so I'll drop it. I don't even remember what it's about.

This manga is so cute, and I adore it with all my heart. Uenoyama's interal thoughts about Mafuyu are so cute, and definitely classified as gay panic. I love the slow reveal of Mafuyu's past and the development of their relationship.

SUMMARY [Suzuhara lives in a cheep apartment which has way to thin walls; whenever his neighbour Nishino brings home girls for the night, Suzuhara can hear all of it! At first it only annoys Suzuhara but when his long time crush, Nakayama, asks to borrow Suzuhara's a apartment so he can have sex with his new girlfriend, everything changes.] I really love Nishino's and Suzuhara's dynamic and the development of their relationship. Though, I must say my heart broke a little when Suzuhara saw that woman leave Nishino's apartment, but, at least, it has a happy ending. I also love the artwork, and how the characters were drawn.

SUMMARY [Every night at 10, Dong-gyun locks himself up in his room, grabs a box of tissues, and watches a live cam boy show hosted by Alex, a BJ (broadcast jockey). Timid Dong-gyun admires not only Alex’s ripped body, but his candor in sharing his sexual experiences with viewers. One night, Dong-gyun downs too many drinks at a school networking event and passes out. When he wakes up, he’s in bed staring up at a shirtless hunk. A hunk who looks an awful lot like...Alex.] Stunning art, that's all I'm gonna say. Anyway, I liked the begnning of this manhwa, and it was interesting to see the development of the relationship, even though Alex was a bit of an asshole.

SUMMARY [This is a story of a special boy who becomes a God once he turns 18 and his ordinary childhood friend.] This one made me tear up. With a few pages, a beautiful massage was conveyed. Beautiful and sad. Definitely worth reading.

SUMMARY [MC is thirsting over his coworker, and has multiple, dirty fantasies about him. When he finally confirms that said coworker is into men, he doesn't hesitate to ask for sex... literally.] I was actually looking forward to reading this manhwa, but it is a little weird. The MC is way too naïve for my liking and the "obsession" with his coworker is a little much. Said coworker is a little harsh which I don't really mind, but to can be too much, still. The art style is pretty, and the smut is pretty good, too with undertones of bdsm.

SUMMARY [Shunta and Tamaki are childhood friends with a year of difference, but Shunta feels something different towards his friend, an impure, not correct, dirty feeling. As this feeling grows stronger, will the relationship between the two friends also change ...?] I don't even know where to start with this one, but was not anything like I was expecting. My heart breaks for Tamaki with what he's been through, and what he has had to endure throughout his childhood. I was deeply saddened by it all, and the feeling never seemed to go away as I continued reading. Deals with a lot of issues, for sure, and it may not be for everyone. (I was hoping for some ace representation, too).

SUMMARY [Nothing crazy ever happens to Jooin. He’s just your average college student, keeping his head down and flying under the radar. Yahwi, on the other hand, is drop dead gorgeous, super popular…but also kinda mean. So why has the campus heartthrob taken an interest in a total nobody? There must be an ulterior motive…but it’s hard to care when faced with those killer looks. Will Jooin become a slave to his desires? Or perhaps he’ll become the master himself…] I read this manhwa a couple of months ago, but to be honest, I don't have recollection of the bigger picture of the story. The artwork is beautiful and it certainly a some cute, fluffy moments as well. This is not, however, a manwha that I would consider re-reading. But overall, I remember my reading experience as being pleasent.
