Hatsukoi No Atosaki

Complete | hidaka shoko | 2000 released

P: I Thot You Was a Toad [12961]: Nishina, newly divorced, accidentally bumps into the high school lover he cruelly threw away, Miyama, at the café Miyama now runs, and all his longing is rekindled. The question is whether Miyama can ever forgive him. O: Honestly this has been lurking somewhere deep in my mind. I barely remember this story, but after reading this synopsis I remember vaguely. Tbh I don’t know how to feel about this.. I forgot since it wasn’t that significant to me, realistic maybe?

Kono Ore Ga Omae Nanka Suki Na Wakenai

Complete | ogawa chise | 2012 released

P: Fujima Taisei is a high schooler who had grown up spoiled by the people around him ever since he was little because of his pretty face. In his pleasant school life, there was only one time that had become the only stain in his life, when a student named Okachimachi, whom Taisei had grown close to in order to get others' attention, had told him that actually he had never been his friend at all. Now Taisei wants revenge. What will happen these two?! O: Okachimachi is a bit creepy how he’s expressionless most of the time. So funny when Fujimi was very intense when he was thinking of revenge for Okachi Machi. Fujimi’s bento- bomb was really funny, it was even censored :’) This manga is short, slightly funny and has some facepalm moments like when Fujimi is supposed to reject/hate Okachi Machi, but he does the opposite of his intentions :P

Katappashi Kara Zenbu Koi

Complete | kakine | 2000 released

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

Mad Cinderella

P: Teijin Sakuichi was born in a house of one of Japan's leading conglomerates while Ryota Kishi was born and raised in a common household and lived a rather crude lifestyle. Despite this difference, they were neighbors and childhood friends that grew up together. However in the winter of their third year in middle school, Sakuichi proposed to Ryouta before going to study abroad. Years later, having no contact, Sakuichi suddenly appears before Ryota completely changed. Has Sakuichi forgotten all about Ryota and their proposal!? O: This couple is so cute.

P: Onodera Ritsu transfers to another company called Marukawa. Turns out his boss is his first love Takano Masamune. Onodera is a big tsundere, indecisive and always blushes. More stories about his coworkers, who are also gay. Yukina (art student) x Kisa (fellow editor) 9 yr age gap, idk (fellow editor) x Yoshino (mangaka), Yokozawa (sales department dude) x idk. O: Dropped at v8 c4. I don't know how I could read so much. It was not very interesting tbh, and the art was meh. It's ok, but slow development. Onodera keeps denying he likes Takano despite having sex with him many times.
