pinkstarred's manga / #slice of life(583)

Seeing the struggles of Yuuta was so heartbreaking, the crushing feeling of staying silent and pretending to be okay for all those years. Desperately wanting to keep his family happy and struggling with his feelings and hating himself for them. I really love this type of story. The only thing to send this manga over the top would be the stepbrothers point of view. In the end, you hear how he really felt, but it's so disconnected and expected. *I wish we could of gotton a chapter from his point view at pinnacle moments during the story and you see his real thoughts and feelings. Also it must be said that these guys are gorgeous! The art is so polished and on point, it's almost too perfect. But, Damn son those bishi's are fine. ( *｀ω´) Best Oniicchan award definately goes to Ryuu, he actually acts like a responsible caring big bro. Although at the end that sorta fell apart, but excluding that one scene it was completely platonic. This a really good telling of this often seen trope. Props to sensei for making it consensual and waiting untill college. Could of easily gone the hook up in highschool route. * I was thinking on this, but I wonder if we had seen Ryuu's perspective if it would of changed the narrative? Seeing Ryuu's initial attraction for Yuuto, would that have turned the story into something darker and creepier? I think it can be done, just not sure how. Maybe showing why he fell for him keeping it more innocent and pure.

Cute overload! This is one of sweetest fluffieiest slice of life stories ever. I absolutely love it! (￣▽￣)

Yet another sweet but confusing story from sensei. I think sensei must have a thing for large-Kun x small-kun, because the uke's are so small comparatively. I love those chibi's and the cuteness, but the stories often just don't add up. Is it lost in translation?

Nothing melts the heart quite like a bad boy being all sweet and honest.

Very cute slice of life that's unrushed and gets sweeter and sweeter.

Cute shounen ai oneshot about a couple that can't meet often which creates insecurities.

Very cute oneshot about a lifelong friendship, gets threatened when one of them has to leave.

These two are so crazy for eachother it's a bit sickening. Very cute and sweet full with sexy scenes almost every chapter. Ch 15 is different story.

The older brother is so my type. It's nice they can finally be together with their parents acceptance. This was quite the drama for a short story. Quite good, but when the brothers grow up together there's always a slight creepy factor. But, the way it was handled was refreshing and only made their love stronger. Side not hitting the rude ex girlfriend, not cool man.

The chraracters are really compelling not every couple is likable but it keeps your attention. The first couple was my favorite, quit cute. I wish it was just their little family.
