orix4's manga / #:(68)

read ch. 1-4 (5-7 is another story, not up yet). Akagi accidentally injures Ichimori, who he is in love with. Ichimori, knowing his feelings, uses the 'debt' of having injured him to convince Akagi to be in a relationship with him, but Akagi doesn't realize it's because Ichimori also likes him and he calls it off eventually. They are reunited years later, and finally work out their reciprocal feelings.

hs romance. initial development is pretty farfetched/rushed, but once they catch the feels it's nicely cute/humorous. nothing crazy original.

some manga-world drama and coincidences, but otherwise good. a little dark (trauma backstory).

don't bother with the one-shots, but main story (ch. 1-3 + last ch) is good.

1- Tooru lost his mother in a crash she caused, which also killed both of Yuuya's parents. He takes in Yuuya, and years later, when Yuuya is ready to become independent, they realize that they don't want to be separated. 2- After realizing that Shiori wasn't the one taking care of him all these years, but rather her younger brother Iori, whats-his-name finally returns his affections. Both solid (first story esp.) with lots of emotion. Shame it's plagued by some translation issues.

multi. two yakuza, one archery club one-shot. stock.

: cute enough, but cliche without much more

:

: alright, it's a fantastical prince-charming-to-the-rescue plot (man brings home someone sleeping on bench, turns out to be a top model who has been in love with him for years), but... you know, it is what it is.
