Lie Cry Like
a little sad, but sweet. makeup artist falls for actor with troubled past and helps him move on.
Hadaka yori mo Oku Fukaku
pwp... but weirdly not? there's actually a lot of subtle storytelling. student at uni notices an office worker outside a gay club and follows him in-- after a supposed one night stand, he catches feelings and finally convinces the other to go for more than just a physical relationship.
Hishakaishindo
hayakawa and konno meet on the roof and gradually become friends. hayakawa loves music but pretends otherwise, and is drawn to konno's open expression and love of photography. he falls for him and pushes him into having sex once, but then withdraws bc he worries konno will think his feelings are disgusting. they reunite three years later and finally resolve their (now mutual) feelings. nice change of pace with lots of actual plot and non-tropey characters.
Gozou Roppu no Koi
cute fluff. restaurateur struggling to pay a debt, host who eats there in wee hours of the morning after each shift. they're buns.
Chou to Hana no Kankeisei
Apron Yankee!
such spicy chicken, but it is your brand of it. taiga follows his aniki ryuusei from back in his yankee days after waking up from a three-year coma-- but ryuusei, who blames himself for taiga getting hurt, wants nothing to do with him. dumb, but cute with solid humor.
Shitteru Yo.
cute shit, if a little stock. story of hoshizawa (who has no eyebrows, and so is misunderstood as menacing) falling for his classmate. classmate is a bratty brand of possessive, but some cute moments and THEN-- hoshizawa's brocon older brother is distressed over their relationship before finding himself in love with an underclassman jun, and it all gets cuter.
