P: being-you: Tamaki & Shunta are childhood sweethearts..with Tamki being a year older has Shunta as his closet friend & a place where he can return too.. Tamaki being from a single mother household doesn't have a normal & peaceful environment at home ..But he has his support from his Shunta who at very young age realized his feelings for his friend O: C1 P23. Bro Shunta is so funny xD C3 - YOOO I DIDN’T EXPECT THAT. And I didn’t expect Tamaki to be that oblivious C4 - oh god what a creep C5 - loll I can’t Shunta is hilarious. He’s a loveable idiot. I’m ngl but I have pretty much the same feelings as Tamaki when it comes to “action”. Shunta looks so hot after he grew up. C10 - oh god… Tamaki’s mum… Shunta is being kinda forceful tbh, but... haa idk this is a pretty complicated manga, but I like it.

P: Shiki and Yamato are childhood friends, living in a village in Yamatai. Yamato, who always protects Shiki from bullies, has a personality as radiant as the sun. Furthermore, he unknowingly trifles with Shiki's heart with his bright nature. “My heart beats so loud when I’m next to Yamato…” When Shiki realizes his feelings toward Yamato, Yamato also notices himself falling for Shiki’s beautiful crimson eyes. However, fate tears the two apart, and they never see each other again. After ten years of holding onto his feelings for Shiki, Yamato reunites with a certain “man”... O: This looks pretty promising! Lovely art. Ngl when I reread this I felt like this was really whatever... this manga was kinda disappointing. I was expecting more. Literally Shiki and Yamato decide to do it so that Shiki becomes human again and then BOOM that's it. 5-->4

P: One day, Ryohei received a sudden confession from his schoolmate, Ishiguro. But it's not a shy confession of love. It was a confession of "Will you have sex with me just once?" Ryohei, who accepted Ishiguro's confession based on interest, tried to enjoy the light pleasure, but...? O: Damn Ryohei is hot af LOL. This was a pretty hot read, but in terms of plot..? xD

P: "Best friends" have to go all the way! In an unexpected turn of events, Mizuki Natsukawa befriends Rei Utami, a boy who's missed every day of class due to illness. When Rei says, "I've always been watching you from the nurse's office," it sounds almost like a confession of love... but Mizuki's soon enchanted with Rei's good looks and easy-going personality. He finds himself spending more and more time with him in the nurse's office. But, all it takes is a kiss to throw their friendship into question. As things start to escalate, will Mizuki figure out why Rei's acting this way...? O: This is cute and funny. Lol Mizuki is so gullible yet sweet xD C2's start was pretty surprising... C4 - I wonder how they had the guts to do "that" whilst Rei's mum was at home x.x They're so lucky that she went away before they did the deed... Ngl I'm not completely onboard w/ Rei since he takes advantage of Mizuki's naivety

P: Kanata and Akira are total opposites. Kanata is a seemingly friendly popular guy, with a solid friend group and seems to have an easygoing life (when irl he always keeps a certain distance from them, as he doesn't want to impose his struggles relating to soccer with them), whilst Akira seems to be a typical smart studious guy who's also a lone wolf (when he actually is not as straitlaced as he appears, and actually has a fwb relationship with one of his brother's friends). They seem to constantly catch each other's eye whenever they walk past each other. One day Kanata decides to walk up the stairs past the sign saying you're not supposed to go there, and there he finds this mysterious guy Akira. O: Dang I felt bad for both Kanata and Akira after that awkward encounter in C7. Honestly can't really blame either of them, but seeing things from Kanata's perspective was saddening, I almost cried at the sight of his heart breaking :( Although Akira says that Kanda helped him, I still don't like Kanda - he's technically a pedo since he was a salaryman messing with a middle school kid... that was super yikes. Kanda is depressing af, and contrary to what Akira said about him, I don't feel like the presence of him in Akira's life was beneficial. Like bro.. just because you're all depressed that you can't be together with a friend doesn't mean it's OK to seek comfort in his younger brother who's YEARS away from even being an adult. What added to my dislike of Kanda is his beauty mark/mole/whatever, I generally can't stand characters who have these features... this is a slow but good burn. Reread... C5 - bruhhh I don't like Kanda taking advantage of Akira!! Tbh I'm not really feeling the chemistry btwn Akira and Kanata. Mizuki is such a lovely friend. Lol that extra where that dude from middle school showed up again was so random...

P: KeraQ: Actor Towada Nozumi, 27, hates what he does and even more so being called beautiful by those around him since he rejects everything due to childhood trauma. On the other hand, Tani is a makeup artist who left home since his parents could not accept his homosexuality or that he wants to do make up. They had a awkward first meeting when Tani was still an assistant make up artist who was chosen over his boss to do the selfish Nozumi's make up. O: This was ok. Tani looks gorgeous. But I didn't really feel anything when I read this.

P: Highschoolers Yousuke and Shuu have become somewhat estranged due to an accident early in their childhood. However, their relationship is restored when Shuu moves to the shopping district Yousuke resides in, to stay at his grandmother's place. Yousuke, although awkward at first, starts feeling stirred by the expressions and mannerisms that the usually aloof Shuu only shows to him! O: They're both so damn cute. I like the art style, it gives off a really nice light vibe. Wish it was longer ;-; was a simple, but nice read.

P: College student Haiga has just entered the Multiphonics Research Club. It’s there that he meets an impressive upperclassman, Kanae. Fascinated by his stunning guitar performance, he thinks, “I want to try talking to him” while unable to seize any opportunity. One day, Haiga attends a club drinking party, and at the upperclassmen’s suggestion, he ends up experiencing first-hand what happens at a gay box hell*…? A campus love story that started by chance between a sociable young man X Cool, beautiful senpai working the night life. *T/N: A "gay box hell" is a prostitution service shop. O: My god... they're both hot as hell. Haiga is such a sweetie TT The art is very pleasing to the eye

P: Touji is an average high school student who is terrible at dealing with people and struggles with physical contact. On one rainy day, all of Touji's struggles come to a head when he encounters Itsuki Yato, a fellow classmate who touches him casually even when they first meet. Even though Touji isn't great at socializing, Itsuki goes out of his way to talk to him and spend time with him. Gradually, Touji starts to want to learn more about Itsuki... O: Not bad, didn't particularly strike me though

P: A guy accidentally witnesses his friend masturbating. This shouldn't really affect their relationship any, right? After all, men see such things all the time; it's just an amusing incident, to be laughed over once the embarrassment has worn off. Or maybe... O: It was kinda good, but the ending felt super rushed tbh... also the character development and plot was wack
