Hidamari no Orange

Complete | Yu chitose | 2019 released

Cute and just long enough with just enough character interaction where the development of the relationship feels natural and not forced. I really liked this cute bl. Basically, smart/pretty uke spends him time in the art room after school. He scores really high in school. Seme needs to improve his grades or else he will have to repeat the year. He finds the uke in the room and then says that he wont tell anyone about his misuse of the room if he helps him study. This is their deal. They spend time together studying and once its come to an end and the seme passes, the seme is sad, telling the uke that he would still like to see him. They see each other over the summer and we learn about the uke's family. How his dad left and how his mom is a single parent who works hard for the both of them. She's never around so its always lonely at his house. That's why he stays in the art room and thats why he is envious of he seme and his lively house. The seme realizes that he feels love for the uke and at a festival they go to, almost blurts it out. The seme tells the uke that he loves him and so does the uke. The uke graduates and the two become a couple. We then see into their relationship after 3 months and they are still together.

Perfect Fit

Ongoing | Thanat | 2019 released

The art style is kinda hard to get used to. I didn't really like the seme but he was better later on. His eyebrows are so fucking wack my guy. Mans got villanesque eyebrows fr. Anyways, the seme just messes with uke at first. They meet at school and he is pretty interesting looking. Their peers describe the seme as handsome, but i beg to differ. But apparently in this universe he is a hunky guy. So uke is staring at him. Who can blame him when the seme is walking around with eyebrows like that and also he's missing his hand from one arm. Then they hang out at the seme's place and hes all like "i saw u staring at me/ u like me" and just starts moochin on the uke outta nowhere. So it happens quite fast and u don't really feel the connection. It was okay. Seme high-key a sexual harasser, and the book even acknowledges it but its then like nvm, jk. It was okay. They frick and the characters look kinda off putting imo. The uke looks fine and the seme's sister, but really other than that, everyone else looks wacky and no one looks wackier than the seme. Maybe in their universe, the wackiest looking person is the most attractive or something.

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.

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.

Stand By Me (ebara Tomoe)

Complete | ebara tomoe | 2012 released

It was okay. It end abruptly and the characters talk funny, almost as if they had a southern accent. You don't feel any sort of connection between the characters. They don't even end the story with them together, they never have mutual feelings. Then the blonde guy just likes the dark-haired guy because he is nice.

Hanabatake to Wakarebanashi

Complete | KOJIMA Lalako | 2000 released

The first story is my favorite, but sadly, it was the shortest of the two. I was hoping to see more of those characters. This is why I'm rating it 4 stars. The first story was about childhood friends, a group of three, two guys one girl. The girl gets a boyfriend and then that leaves the other two on their own. The blonde guy liked the girl and he had thought that she liked him back. The two go out to eat and he starts crying after his friend asks "you liked her didn't you?" On their walk home, the dark haired guy tells the guy that he has sauce in his hair. He goes to get it out, but starts ruffling his hair, asking, "when are you going to realize?" The uke (blonde) asks "that i have sauce in my hair?" "When are you going to realize that I like you" and a train passes while he gives the uke a kiss on the cheek and it makes the uke blush. From there, the uke deals with his emotions, trying to figure out what he feels. After the confession, they continue as normal, until the seme says that he's waiting for an answer. This causes the uke to panic and he starts to avoid the seme. The uke leaves school early i believe, because he wants to avoid seme and avoid having to give him an answer. He runs under a playground hut when it starts to rain and lightning strikes. The seme finds him, telling him that he was worried. There, under the hut, the seme and uke express how they are feeling, the seme saying he likes him and the uke asking "why me?" When the seme tells him he likes him, the uke says "say that to a girl". The two kiss and the uke says that hes going to get hooked. I think that this happens after this, but the seme gets sick and the uke tries to tell the seme that he likes him for the first time, but his family comes home and interrupts. I think that is how the story concludes. The second one didnt interest me that much. The couple was already together and they are going through a fight. The one guys younger step brother helps them make up. I kind of skimmed this one after like the first chapter.

It's been awhile since I have read anything on here and this is what I picked it back up with. I watched skip and loafer with dev and kel and I wanted to see if the manga was on here and I saw the same author also wrote a BL that looked and sounded to be one of my favorite kinds; simple, relaxing, and realistic. I really enjoyed reading this in the work closet during my breaks.

Uchi no Ouji Irimasen ka

Complete | KINOSHITA Keiko | 2000 released

This was so cute. This one that I am reading when coming back to this site and I was not disappointed I love these types of manga. Simple, sweet, but good characters that are fleshed out enough that I can feel the chemistry and connection. I really enjoyed reading this at work on break whilst eating a bunch of crackers.

Yamete Kudasai, Mabushii Desu.

Complete | HIWATARI Haruki | 2013 released

This story was so freaking cute. I love how it's not super long, but long enough that you get to know the characters well. I loved the buildup/ the realizations the Characters have. This story was well fleshed out and was so enjoyable. Gonna have to add this to my favorites list.

Motto Hanashi o Shitai no Dakedo.

Complete | KAWAMURA Rino | 2000 released

The two characters can't communicate well and are very shy so you know that there's bound to be miscommunications. At times, the translations seem to be off, but i will also say that, none the less, the writing is nothing spectacular. I found myself being bored with the story. The relationship happens too fast. The most enjoyable part is seeing the connection grow and it was far too sudden. I wasn't feeling chemistry between the characters. The two characters are very cute/ sweet but almost to their determent. They are plain; there's nothing that really makes them interesting. And it kind of felt like the the author was rushing to get to the part where they have sex. I did not finish this one. Just did not interest me.
