Almost Love
P: KyoZaNa✿: A homophobic Daewon's annoyed with a bisexual Hyun-soo who's like a stranger but acts like a familiar & busybody arranges him to the party. Getting bothered by Buyeong there to accept job he doesn't want, Daewon drinks a lot, wakes up again naked in bed with Hyun-soo & already fingerprint-signed contract to be voice actor rs, pair with Hyun-soo in the homo story!! O: Tbh I can't really remember but I don't really like drunk stories (where the plot is driven by being drunk). Something irks me about Daewon. This was an ok read, however it wasn't that great. I did like the character development though. So much drama.

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
