Endou-kun No Kansetsu Nikki
SO GOOD OMG. I LOVE THEM. The story isn't over yet and I am looking forward to more. These two are classmates. The uke has wild long hair that grows really fast and the seme is a tall guy that slicks his long hair back. The seme starts to talk to the uke, telling him that he should cut his hair and that it wont be in the way. The uke says that he doesnt care. The seme has a friend who is also a classmate of theirs who cuts hair and him and the friend both tell the uke that hair cutting guy can cut his hair. He's not interested. The seme always pats the ukes head. The seme starts to have lewd thoughts about the uke and is surprised by them. After discussing the uke's hair again, the uke wants the seme to cut his hair. The seme attempts to cut his hair on the school rooftop, telling the uke that he's not good at cutting hair. The uke tells him he doesn't care. The seme starts to mess up the uke's hair and calls his friend to help. After this the two become closer. The seme learns about how much the uke loves music. The uke lends the seme cds to listen to. After many encounters and headpats, these two find themselves at the train station, where the uke pulls the seme down for a kiss. I started to cry thinking "this is what I live for". I love the laid-back nature of the story. The way that there's not much happening between the characters but you can still feel there connection. Can't wait for more of this story. It leaves off with the two about to be going back to school since their break is almost over.
Kurayami Ni Strobe
SO CUTE. The stories from this author have been so nice and refreshing. This one was about two childhood friends who live next door to each other. The blonde guy (who i think is the uke) has a business in school where he takes pictures of peoples crushes and sells them. His dad is a professional photographer and he learned photography from him. His black haired friend (the believed seme) plays basketball and is pretty popular with the girls. He gets confessed to regularly and his childhood friend is always around eavesdropping on the confessions. The seme always tells the girls that he is busy with basketball, and during one confession, while the friend is around, the uke's phone goes off. The next confession, the seme instead, tells the girl that he has someone that he likes. The seme walks out knowing that his friend was eavesdropping and he had known that last time too. The seme asks the uke if he wants to know who it is that he likes. The seme tells him that its someone that he has taken a photo of. In the seme's wallet is a negative of a photo of them together when they were kids. The uke blushes. After this their feelings are pretty much revealed. The uke grapples with the fear of being discovered and people finding out that he's gay. The seme deals with feeling a bit of jealousy, but in the end the two work it out. The story is marked as completed, but it seems like there would be more to it. The story starts to show the other two friends of theirs becoming closer. I thought that they might get together before the story ended, but they did not.
Minegishi-san wants Otsu-kun to eat!
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
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)
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
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
Come On, Spring
This was so cute. I love cute one-shots. They are childhood friends. When going off to college, the uke, who is going to school to be a beautician is going to a school in tokyo and has to leave his friend. When they say goodbye, the seme doesnt look too upset to see him go and this makes the uke cry. One year later, the seme is taking an entrance exam in tokyo and comes to visit his friend. He stays the night. The uke washes his hair and sneaks a kiss on his forehead. The seme doesnt stay around long. He takes the exam and then has to go home. When the seme is just about to get on the train, the seme is wondering if the uke is going to cry. The uke holds back his tears and smiles a goodbye to the seme. He doesnt get on the train. The train leaves. The seme says "I'm lonely too" and they hug and its cute and the seme kinda confesses and then tells the uke that he wants to go to school in tokyo so he can be with the uke. This makes them both super happy and the seme leaves, riding the train with a smile.
Okaeri Aureole
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
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.
