Sofure Buka!

Complete | Kakine | 2016 released

SO GUD ONE OF MY FAVORITES. I re-read this one and I had forgotten that it had other stories included in it. There is one that is familiar. A coworker that is always hungry and the other guy always makes too much food so he gives his coworker some. It is "Renchin!" That title is familiar. In that story they are lovers, but in this short one, the seme gets married to a lady and the uke is the best man. You see the uke becoming comfortable and happy, only to be saddened when the seme character tells him that he has a girlfriend and that they are going to be getting married. I don't think that happens in "Renchin!" I will have to re-read that one too. The last one apparently has its own story too called "Katappashi Kara Zenbu Koi" I am not sure if I have read that one. The food one was cute and sad and the sweets loving guy one was cute. A friend he has sleeps with body pillows. He is really stressed and his friend suggests that they become sleeping buddies. But why is his friend excited?

Jibun Katte.

Complete | Hinako (ひなこ) | 2000 released

This was a good story, it was pretty short and sweet, but still made me feel like the characters had an actual connection. Things didn't happen too fast, it happened fast enough. This story is about childhood friends. They guy that you are made to believe is the seme ends up being the uke. The seme was even surprised that he wasn't the uke. The uke (the actual one who u think is the seme) gets in the way of the seme's relationships with girls and tries to break them up, and he has always done this. A lot of the story is the reader seeing this with current and past relationships. The uke tries to make the seme jealous and all that. Yeah, it was a good read.

On the Veranda

Complete | Ichikawa Kei | 2000 released

I wish there was more of it. A man sees a ghost of a guy on his veranda. He smokes while the ghost drinks. The guy swears that he recognizes the ghost guy from somewhere. He realizes that the guy is his coworker. He sees the guy on the veranda every night. At work he hears the guy tell his coworkers that his girlfriend left him to marry someone else. He sees the ghost of the guy looking at his phone and crying that night. Another night he sees him jacking off and he does too. When the ghost starts to not come around anymore, he starts to realize that he misses him and that he seems to like the guy. It was very interesting and cute. I would have loved to see the characters get together, rather then be left with the idea and assumption that they do.

Toritome no Nai Koi no Shi

Complete | Ichikawa Kei | 2000 released

Umm hello? This is SO CUTE. The story uses metaphors is a literal way to show what the character is feeling. He wakes up with a hole in his chest, but it's a literal hole. He asks a friend about it and looks up what it means. It mentions sadness and loss. He thinks back to his long time friend and him drinking last night. He recalls his friend telling him that he is married. He thinks he feels sad because even though he has known him for some long and they go out drinking often, he never mentioned anything about his love life. His friend shows up at his door step. When he sees him he starts to feel pain. The hole is growing bigger. They go inside and his friend is worried about the pain he is in. His friend wants to tell him something. He tells him that he is not actually married. He lied. He had this idea of saying something like that to see how he would react, because his friend has liked him for a long time. The guy starts to hear bells ringing. He tells his friend that he can hear them. He tells his friend to hug him and his friend goes in for a kiss. No more hole in his chest. This story was cute and clever. I enjoyed reading it.

Dekoboko Sugar Days

Complete | Atsuko Yusen | 2000 released

Added to "re-read". Write something about it Dark haired guy used to think “I will protect this kid”. Now, that kid has grown to be very big. When the dark haired guy helped the guy (blonde) when he was a kid, he mistook him for a girl. The kid’s parents said that he often gets mistaken. The dark haired guy said “and so fell the curtains to my first love”. After that incident, the blonde guy became attached to the dark haired guy. The dark haired guy says “my first love should have ended back then, but I think my freakishly tall 180- some childhood friend is adorable.” The dark haired guy has a height complex and wants to become taller. A short freshman girl has her eyes on the dark haired guy, and she goes to confess to him. When the dark haired guy starts experiencing jealousy and sexual thoughts of his childhood friend, he starts to avoid him. When blonde boy is in class, a classmate tells him that the dark haired guy has been walking home with the freshman. When the blonde guy was younger, he used to think the dark haired guy was his prince. He told his older sister that a prince came to save him. She said, “princes don’t save boys”. She told him that he is not his prince but someone he admires. When the blonde guy finds out about the girl, he starts thinking of how the dark haired guy would act towards a girlfriend. When he pictures the dark haired guy in a sexual scene, he pictures himself in the girl’s position. The blonde haired guy wants to see if the rumors are true, so he decides to take a peek. When he sees the girl walking with dark haired guy he starts to follow them. He sees the dark haired guy smile and he thinks of how he only looks upset or looks away when he is with him. This thought makes the blonde guy start to cry. While is his walking, the blonde guy falls into the gutter that the dark haired guy had saved him from when they were little. He tries to get out, but his legs appear to be stuck. He makes a sound and the dark haired guy hears him. While he and the girl are walking he says “sorry” and “I’ve got my answer”. He goes to find the blonde guy. The blonde guy sprained his leg. He helps him out and carries the blonde boy home on his back. The blonde guy tells him that he has always been cool, since they were young. They both realize their feelings for one another, but both of them think that the other only sees them as a childhood friend. They tell their friends that they have someone they like. The dark haired guy’s friend guesses that it is the blonde guy when he says that they are child hood friends. Then the friend tells the dark haired guy that the blonde guy also likes him and that it is obvious. The two finally tell each other how they feel. I really like this story and I love the way the characters look. The seme is really cute, I love his design.

Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku

Ongoing | Fujita | 2014 released

This show is so cute and I wanted to read it to see what else happens. It's not completed yet so I will have to look out for updates. Hopefully it does, cause if not, looks like I'll be spending all my money on paper copies. I can't wait to see more romantic development between Nifuji (is that how its spelled?) and Narumi.

Hetakuso Love Step

Complete | Yoriko | 2000 released

I really enjoyed this story. I have read Sugar Dog by the same author and that story is also really cute. In this story, A dark haired shy guy is asked my his female friend if he could fake being her boyfriend to get this player guy to leave her alone. He doesn't want to, but since she already showed him a picture of the shy friend, he doesn't have much of a choice. He meets the blonde player guy and he wants to talk to him saying "you're so and so's boyfriend, right?" When the player starts asking personal sex questions about his fake girlfriend, he tells the player that they haven't done it. The player asks him to go to the bathroom with him, leads him into a stall and then confronts him about what he said saying that normally a boyfriend would get mad at someone who spoke like that about their girlfriend. "you're not actually dating, are you?" The shy guy thinks he's gonna get beat up, but the player says he wants to hang out with him. He wants to teach him about sex stuff. He starts making moves on the shy guy and it does seem rapey at first but then the blonde player guy does ask for his consent and whether or not he wants to continue and the shy guy does consent saying he wants to know what it will feel like. As "friends" who keep sleeping together, when they shy guy starts to develop feelings, he is afraid that he will end up being hurt. He starts to fear this and before the blonde player can dump him, he tells him that he no longer wants to go along with him. To this the player says "I'm done". It takes this for the player to realize that he does like the shy guy and that he does want an actual relationship. They confess and it is very cute.

Shinobeba Koi

Complete | yukue moegi | 2014 released

Like shut up omg this was so cute. This is a side story of a brother from another story. I've read that one. This was so good. A kid goes out to enjoy the nightlife. He walks past a bike gang and a member meets eyes with him as if to say "come here". He's the leader of the group. The kid wants to ride on the back of his bike. Other members tell him that the leader doesn't let anyone ride on his bike. Girls beg him to let them sit on the backseat all the time. The leader asks him what his worst subject in school is. He tells him if he gets perfect marks on the next test he will let him ride. This motivates the kid and he succeeds. He gets to ride with the leader. He holds onto the leader tightly as they speed off together. Other members tell the kid that that was the longest he has ever ridden with anyone. After noticing that the leader is giving the kid special treatment, other members of the group start to try and fight the kid. During a fight the leader takes the kid away on his bike back to his place. As they are sitting by the heater in his place, the leader brings mouth close to the kid's. He licks him and asks him if he wants to continue. The two make love and in the morning the leader wakes up to find that the kid is gone. We see them older, as you do in the beginning of the story. The leader says that He regrets that night. That he regrets it because he never said I love you first. He wants to talk about it since they spent 4 years not talking about it since they met again. He wants to know why he left and if he likes him. It was refreshing to read this manga. It was very good.
