Sugar ❀'s manga / #friendship(14)

P: Sakura Chiyo confesses to her crush, Nozaki-kun, but he mistakes her as a fan! Unable to convey her feelings, what happens when he invites her to his house? Find out in this hilarious series! O: This is absolute gold. I read this a few years ago on another website, but now read it here.

P: The "youth pure love" story begins when three students in their third and final year of high school meet during a time when they are worried about paths for their futures. Waiting for them are sweet, painful, and heartrending days. O: Ahh I only read up to chapter 5 and WOW a lot of stuff is going on. I feel like it's implied that Touma (bff) secretly likes Taichi, and Masumi likes Futaba because she said they're alike and that the only matching ideal characteristic is black hair. So unexpected... Ah fuck. This hurts. It really does. I can't help but wish Taichi x Futaba and Touma x Taichi, even though it'll obviously end up with the former ship. I honestly prefer the latter. It hurts so much to see Touma subtly show his feelings. I kinda get why Taichi doesn't see Touma at all as a love interest as he has always considered Touma as a friend. I love how each character is developed. I didn't particularly like Yagihara at the start, but after reading C.32, I understand her perspective more. This is a nice, thought-provoking piece of work. She addresses bias against women. Holy shit C.41 has so many feels.... That confession and apology... ;-; Touma.... That talk between Touma and Seiya ;-; Every chapter makes me want to cry. I'm so glad that Touma and Taichi end up together in the end! However it would've been nice to see the story of Taichi breaking up with Futaba and then dating Touma.. It seemed a bit rushed, but that was a daring ending considering this is shounen. It was interesting how C54 was from Touma's perspective, but damn I really wanted to see Touma :( It was a nice touch to see Touma use the surname "Ichinose" meaning they're married :')

P: The top of the tower has whatever anyone desires. Bam's desire is to meet with Rachel in the tower, but Rachel's goal is to see the night sky with stars. O: I don't really like Rachel, I feel like she'll manipulate Bam a lot. I love Bam, Rak and Khun's dynamic, they're such a fun trio ^^ Fav character has to be Khun, he's so arrogant, cool and caring. Ultimate friend! :D (Khun x Bam ftw) Wow I can't believe how easily team B betray each other in that test ~C50. This is pretty good. Nice plot. The art is gradually getting better and better. Parts I liked: C52 - contemplate life, must risk it all, EP75 - WHAT?! Bam finally thinks he caught the light, but was pushed into the darkness by Rachel. EP101 - Wangnan forgave Lurker, instead of killing him breaking the cycle of revenge. EP111 - Mazino x Viole LOL “I’ll play with you, little boy.” - Mazino, while shirtless. GAH why is he so hot?? EP229 - OMG wow… 2nd time eh… Read on Webtoons.

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.
