Sugar ❀'s manga / #03-2017(9)

P: To break away from his existence as a NEET and staying at home all day, Endou Hiroshi starts work at a convenience store. There he meets an arrogant and rude co-worker, Yamai Kouhei, whom he just can't get along with. However, after seeing a different side of Yamai and getting to know him more, Endou's impression of him starts to change for the better. But, just as things seem to be going fine for Endou and his return to society, his past comes back to trouble him. O: It’s ok..

P: 1) Rough Boyfriend (first part) 2) How? Boyfriend (second part) 2.5) It Is Difficult to Understand! Boyfriend (extra) Naoto is Hajime's childhood friend. Naoto may look cute, but he has a bad attitude. That doesn't stop Hajime from liking him, though. But, the problem is, Naoto is homophobic. 3) All About My Brother 3.5) All About My Big Brother (extra) Shinji has always loved his younger brother, Haruki more than any older brother should. Yet when he receives an unexpected warning letter demanding payment on a delinquent loan, he is left speechless. With everything Haruki could ever ask for, provided by loving parents, he demands to know what it could be that would cause Haruki to be so greedy and so irresponsible. Can Shinji really handle the truth behind Haruki's unusually selfish actions? or will he give up on Haruki all together? 4) Piano Lesson 5) Piano Lesson 2 5.5) Piano Lesson Variation (extra) After his parents divorce, Hara Shuuji left Tokyo to live with his mother and attend the local school. With hopes of starting a new and peaceful school life Shuuji feels at ease when his first day starts out well. That is until a problem arises, a problem named Yoshie Kennichi, who carries the name of a "delinquent" with pride. Shuuji's first impression of Yoshie isn't good, but what's worse, is that his ideals for a peaceful school life are ruined when Yoshie suddenly recognizes him! Shuuji, a new student, has no idea how Yoshie can possible know him and frantically wonders, what in the world is going on!? O: I quite liked all the stories, the artwork was great as usual. It was cute and interesting how Naoto is homophobic. Rereading... idk what I liked about this manga tbh, it's shit. I know it's supposed to be a funny read, but it feels pretty cringe and immature how the humour merely revolves around Naoto's homophobia. Naoto seems to be irrationally homophobic, it's not explained why. The "love" between them feels super random and unnatural. What is up with C3's couple bruh. Did Shinji really just offer to have sex with his step-bro Haruki to stop his hobby of paying for sex, and did Haruki really just accept it so casually... like umm... C4 - did this Yoshie guy really enter the classroom smoking a cig??? If I had to say, the third story was by far the best, but overall this was a bad read. Would not recommend... 5-->2

P: While on a high school field trip, a school bus crashes into a shrine of a penis god. This serves as a catalyst for a group of four high school boys to switch penises with each other. At first a rather typical yaoi, the series quickly delves into comedy antics with talking penises, penis costumes, and puns. O: So weird, interesting and funny lol, doesn’t really belong to yaoi genre though (no action, just foreplay) I want to see more development between the couples..

P: Michiya seems ordinary at first glance seems normal, but is actually a yandere, and is in love with Takayuki. They first met at a university. O: Feel a bit conflicted.. Michiya is kinda creepy to be honest, but he IS a yandere so… lol I wonder what a boy yandere is like (not in BL), must seem stalkerish. o_o When he put saliva in the drink though xP

P: For some reason, Miyasaka finds himself absolutely enamored by the scent of his attractive male classmate Sawatari. But when he tries the cologne Sawatari recommends, the effect just isn’t the same–it has to be on Sawatari or the cologne won’t have the same effect. O: Really hot, the one-shots are nice, but I don’t really like one-shots to be honest..

P: takame [49344]: Stories about neighbors who both happen to be seme (with one common point... both were sadistic) and how they gained their respective ukes. Ch.1-2, 5.1: Freelancers. some frigid guy needs manpower so he had to contact that rumored #gay kouhai who they say had a thing for him. And so #country bumpkin went to tokyo but still got in trouble with his #pheromones that even affected the #straight seme. Ch.3-4: #sadistic #bully seme #popular seme x #cry-baby #gloomy uke and a little bit otaku-ish. Is a really cute college love story. Uke is very ordinary, frowny, shy and quite misogynistic too. then there's this guy (seme) he's hating bec. he just have everything. he knew how ordinary he was and being with this capable and popular guy droves it home so he has no idea why he kept being friends with him. ch.5: BJ at the bushes lol. straightlaced #younger seme who does #housework x a baby-faced #stoic uke #older uke #lewd uke #cool beauty but despite appearances, is actually a slob. works as a #shop clerk. O: It’s so good, several times a warm sensation enveloped my entire body. In the second story, Tachibana is a sadist, but I enjoy it better than the first one -ω- The third one was kinda unexpected. The first one was meh.

P: Takanashi Akira’s finally made it out of the boonies and into the big city, ready to start his new life in Tokyo—except his new company seems to have gone bankrupt before he even arrived, and so he’s left with no other choice than to presume upon the good graces of his childhood penpal Chihiro, whom he’s only met once before in his life. Chihiro, now a tall and attractive young man and not the short little sprout Akira remembers, is only too happy to have his best friend living with him as his roommate, and life seems to be going relatively well for Akira in his new ‘position’ as live-in security guard for Chihiro’s apartment—until one day they find themselves assaulted by a pair of unknown men on the street who seem to have been hired to kidnap Chihiro… O: So funny how Akira’s slackness is relatable ;_;

P: Shy freshman college student Rikiya knows he likes guys, but has never been in a relationship, only able to look on without expressing his feelings. Living on his own for the first time he decides to try and change his life and joins a gay dating site. Everything seems perfect until he finds himself about to be attacked with nowhere to turn yet desperately hoping for help, when a guy crawls through the wall and says, "There's no helping it. What's your wish?" O: Funny, cute, yaoi from the same author as Honto Yajuu :D I like this author ^^ It’s pretty interesting, I want more~ Omg lol Endo got summoned by Rikiya’s ‘man juice’ I am dying of laughter at this xD I really like this yaoi.. :3 Lesson learned: don’t do online dating kids. LMAO the comment section is hilarious of chapter 12. I love this manga

P: First couple: Out of the blue, childhood friend Takaoka confesses to Iwami! When popular playboy and ladies man Takaoka says "I love you", he doesn't believe it one bit. Second couple: MC falls in love with this guy, turns out that guy is the young master of the rival gang... Third couple: MC gets picked on at work by his superior bc he knows he secret (he saw him crossdressing for a job) O: Cute, fluffy, sweet and funny. I enjoyed little bits of each story omg xD in the second one “Son! Could I have your father!!” That awkward elevator door moment :’) This was good, there were feels. Rereading... LOL C4.5 is crackup. Rereading, yeah I still quite like this manga. It's not perfect - there feels like a fair bit of gaps, but it was an enjoyable read. The relationships felt slightly off and random, but it's ok. Wasn't a huge fan of the first couple tbh. TIL eating too much sugar can decrease your drive?! 5-->4
