Murdock's manga / #sequel(5)

It’s surprisingly heavy and a little dark. Akari is the main character and after his two straight friends got together he went to a gay bar to try to find someone. One of the bartenders told him to leave and he ended up staying the night at his house. Akari has a pretty rough life after being outed as gay in middle school, and you don’t see his family but you know he isn’t treated nicely and is neglected by them. Akari has intense confidence issues which is why there’s a lot of miscommunication between them. Overall it’s still really good, Akari is a well written character and I actually really like him.

This is a sequel, and this couple continues to be one of the authors strongest stories.

This is a sequel, loved the first one and this one remains one of my favorites. You get some insight of Minato and why he lacks a lot of confidence, and his relationship with his boyfriend. Pretty realistic and overall a good read

Perfection. They’re such a cute couple and I would die for them. Very realistic relationship and both are so likable and well developed.

God this truly is one of the most captivating romance manga I’ve read. The story is about Minato fro XXX Allergy, and Shouhei’s older brother Shizuma. After a one night stand, Shizuma completely forgets Minato, and it leaves Minato extremely hurt and bitter. Minato then decides to take revenge on Shizuma by making him fall in love and then dumping him, however Minato is much softer than he realizes and falls in love with the straightforward and good natured Shizuma. There’s a good amount of angst, and Minato is a deeply insecure and mistrusting person. He hates himself while also overestimating himself, but he’s so endearing and I feel like he truly tries his best. Shizuma is probably one of my favorites characters I’ve seen in a romance. He knows what he wants, and he communicates it. He’s so kind hearted, and almost righteous in a way. Despite the symbolism that Minato is a snake that plans to betray Shizuma, you can see that Minato is completely wrapped around his finger and I love it.
