Sugar ❀'s manga / #07-2021(26)

P: "Why don't you try it out?" These were the words Akashi Noboru's friends uttered to him when he found out that a school hottie, Yagi Tomohiro, was gay. Noboru who was already contemplating the fact that he himself might be gay, egged on by what his friends said, makes the move. O: I love how supportive their friends were xD Noboru is so sweet and cute wtf, must protect him!! Ngl I didn't notice that Yagi liked his friend, until Noboru connected the dots ╮(￣▽￣)╭ Not completely on board w/ Yagi tbh. Was a nice read tho

P: Nomiya and Mikoshiba are roommates at an all-boys school. They both like each other but don't realise that the other person likes them back as well xD Everyone around them already knows they both like each other lol O: This is seriously funny and cute xD I can't help but laugh a lot. They're both so adorable wtf, and Nomiya pls control your "member" LOL. This is a nice read to brighten up your day! Mangago says its yaoi, but according to bakaupdates it's shounen-ai... so I doubt it's actually a yaoi especially based off the author's other works :P

P: Kyosumi, an up-and-coming photographer lives with his late best friend's younger brother, Hibari. He looks after Hibari as he feels responsible for the death of his best friend as well as colleague. Kyosumi has sworn an oath to be Hibari's family, after he had lost his only blood relative. I took your loved one away from you. However, Hibari has feelings for Kyosumi which he cannot tell him about...? O: Overall was a good read. I felt a bit iffy about their relationship tho (￣∇￣") Ik Kyosumi and Hibari's bro were just friends, but this feels wrong to me... in a round-about way it feels like Kyosumi is manipulating Hibari.... idk man... like they waited to do the deed but I still feel a bit hmmm... I don't get how Kyosumi sees Hibari that way tbh. Like since when did they develop romantic feelings for each other...?

P: Miza Yuuji is the so-called ‘beautiful priest’ of Uguisuzaka Shopping District, loved and respected by all not only for his skills as a Buddhist priest but for his demure demeanor and kind air. While he professes to have pledged himself to the cloth, vowing to remain unmarried and celibate for life…he’s harbored a crush on his best friend Saburou since middle school. Now that Saburou’s back in town, taking over his parents’ tofu shop after an eight-year absence, Yuuji must deal with feelings he thought he’d long since moved past—and that’s when he gets drunk one evening in Saburou’s presence. O: It's ok, but I find it boring ngl... dropped for now... I can't really see the chemistry btwn any of the couples tbh. Kenji is just straight up unlikable f/4

P: Eight years ago, Yajima and Outomi met in high school, through Ryouko, Yajima's best female friend and Outomi's girlfriend at the time. Ryouko remained in their home town, but Yajima and Outomi moved to Tokyo and remained close friends through university, and after Yajima dropped out. Yajima feels comfortable with Outomi -- unlike with his girlfriend. Then one day Outomi kisses another guy just to see what it would feel like, and Yajima gets agitated beyond what seems reasonable for even a close friendship. O: This was a nice read ^^ A slow-paced romance.

P: InsomniacEnigma: Workaholic mc was strangely distraught after his friend's wedding (he was heartbroken without realizing it); he got drunk and woke up in a closed bar with the bar's part-timer taking care of him. He didn't want to let the guy to stay in the bar after taking care of him, so the mc offered to let him stay at his home for the night. O: This manga is an overload of cuteness xD Super wholesome. Oml I thought this was a shounen ai so I was surprised at that scene in C5 o.o. But yeah this was pretty cute

P: 2 childhood friends, Yamato & Kakeru who’re opposite in every single way; personality, grades & looks.. One day, after school, Kakeru asks Yamato if he has someone he likes.

P: In the distant future, ordinary teacher Yoshino learns that he is a "donor" for the strongest species, the "ikigami." These warriors are tasked with protecting the country. "The unique ability of a donor is to use their bodily fluids to heal ikigami." Yoshino learns this fact and is shocked. Thus, Yoshino is forced to live with Kidou... At first, he is like a beast, demanding Yoshino's bodily fluids, but slowly, the underlying loneliness begins to show... O: From what I'm seeing from the first few chapters Kidou is an *sshole (〜￣△￣)〜 Ahh nvm we get to understand why he's cold at first... This was an ok read - I didn't really experience any feels tho even though there were some sad moments. On a side-note, shounen-ai my ass, this is a yaoi 100% -_- I came in here not expecting "action" even though this was about body fluids lol. I couldn't really get Kidou's sudden change in personality though... I can't bring myself to like him tbh. They just seemed to like each other suddenly.

Seeing Danny cry was ;-; Theo is such a sweetie wtf..
