GLERTLESKLETCH's manga / #Slice of Life(45)

Endou-kun No Jikken Note

Ongoing | hayakawa nojiko | 2013 released

A Continuation of the story with Endo (the uke); the boy with the messy long black hair and the seme that ruffles his hair with his hand. I had thought that the story had ended with seemingly no conclusion, but the story picks back up in this book. This part was less good. The seme's older brother appears and they talk about career future college stuff. That's the majority of it, but at the end, the two come together and finally tell each other what they are to each other. The story is apparently not over yet.

Minegishi-san wants Otsu-kun to eat!

Ongoing | Mito | 2019 released

This manga is very short. Some of the chapters are repeating chapters as well. Handsome coworker loves seeing his subordinate eat and so he gives him a lot of sweets. Their friends notice the handsome guys infatuation with his subordinate. The chubby subordinate says that he likes the handsome guy near the end but it doesn't go anywhere. Its still to be continued so I guess we will see. It is cute though.

Living With Him

Complete | miyata toworu | 2000 released

THIS WAS SO CUTE. Such a good read, short and sweet with just enough relationship development for the romance to not feel rushed or forced. It was a very cute story that I will be adding to my favorites list. The story is about childhood friends that grew apart when they went to different high schools. They are now going to college and need a place to live. Their moms are besties and decided that they should live together without hearing what their kids thought of it. The seme is tall Hottie nice popular guy cutie and the uke is cutie fluffy hair fellow. Turns out that the seme has had feelings for his childhood friend since they were young. The seme confesses and the uke needs to figure out if he feels the same way.

Don't Call Me Dirty

Complete | Gorou Kanbe | 2000 released

I read this after Dev sent me a tik tok with someone talking about it. The story is quite short and I think that the characters kiss but idk maybe it wasn't that memorable. I did read this before bed and it was 6:00 am. The love stuff happens fast. The whole relationship is just kinda like zoom for the finish line, which i think is something the tik tok person mentioned about the story. It s one of the things i don't like about many stories, so i gave it 4 stars. The sex happens too fast, the uke is just getting over a guy that dumped him and the seme never has any worry about how fast he's moved on like how people would in reality. It was good and cute nonetheless.

Fuyu no Hanashi (Yamada)

Complete | Yamada | 2000 released

This is so cute and short and i wish there was more. They are so gay for each other its so cute, but they never confess or anything. The dark haired guy is always teasing his light haired friend about liking him and the light haired friend gets flustered or mad or both. They both seem to like one another, but alas, no confession, as mentioned. Wish there was more, super cute, a favorite for sure, really short, loved the chemistry between the characters. This is how you convey attraction and connection in a short story. The characters didnt have to have a monologue about how suddenly "their heart beats around them and they get all flustered now but why is that" sort of thing. They didn't have to confess (even tho that would be cute), you understand that they like each other and those explanations are unnecessary. Also holy shit yamada wrote this and it was fluffy and nothing fucked up happened.

Kyou wa Hayaku Kaerou

Ongoing | YOSHIZUKA Mayako | 2011 released

The age gap is, ya know, suspicious, but the characters are cute together and the story is sweet. It has yet to be continued. It left off with the older guys ex-girlfriend coming over when the middle schooler was arriving. Also, the age-gap must be pretty large. The combini worker seems to be out of school and the kid was said to be a middle schooler. The guy is a convenience store cashier and the kid buys bentos a lot. The cashier finds the kid outside on his way home sitting on a swing at night. The guy offered for him to come to hios place since it was dangerous and cold outside at night. The kid explains that his dad is always at work and that his mom is a the hospital since she's a bit weak; so nobody is at home and its lonely. The two spend time together, the older guy saying that he can come over whenever he feels lonely and he gives him a spare key to come over whenever he wants. A bit creep but also cute, if this gets sexual its a no no. We're gonna have a problem sir

Kemonotachi Wa Wana No Naka

Ongoing | Fukaumi Hisato | 2015 released

This appears to be good. All that there is right now is "Beasts in a Trap", but its not finished yet. The two are the only guys in their class of all women and they are a couple. The seme sees the uke hanging out with a girl for a project they are working on and starts to worry that the girl has a crush on him. He's having doubts, thinking that maybe the uke doesn't like him after all and has decided that he likes women. Their big thing is that they haven't had sex and that the seme started looking into how guys do it and then the uke was like "after the school festival". That's kinda where it ends.
