MsFujoshi's manga / #Cook(7)

This left me feeling bittersweet for some reason. I mean, it was a happy ending but still, I was left feeling kind of melancholic.

I love this but to be honest, I love Kouta and Riku's story more. The old married couple vibes were just too good. I'm a sucker for established relationships. I want to read more about them! Plot: Smut: Fluff:

Yes. Yes! A million times YES! This manga was great from start to finish. I cried so many times for different reason. First, I cried because I could relate with the fears and pain that the little brother was going through and secondly, I cried tears of happiness because they found their happy family! The last pairing was about average, tbh but the family vibes from the first 2 pairings was just perfect. I'll definitely re-read this again. I'm kinda mad that I've been putting this manga on hold for so long because I assumed it would not be that happy an ending because it was just tagged shounen-ai. The cover plus the tag made me think that it might be just one of those stories with a bittersweet ending but nope! I was so wrong! 1st story - big brothr x cook. Seme is a responsible adult, who has been taking care of his little bro ever since he was just a teen because they were left by their parents. Then he meets a cook at a restaurant where he was working at and they fall in love. Seme is one of the most honest, loving and caring characters I've seen in any bl manga. He was open about his relationship and told his little brother who his lover was. He and his partner lived together with his little bro and they pretty much became a perfect, loving household. 2nd story - is about the little brother from the first story. He developed a little crush on a regular customer who happens to be the older brother of the uke from the first story. At the same time, he reencounters his old childhood friend who then confesses to him. This pairing was very cute. They experienced heartbreak but ultimately, LOVE WINS! 3rd story - high school student x nursery teacher. It wasn't love at first sight, per se but all it took for them to fall in love was one particular encounter and eye contact! Plot: Smut: Fluff:

A lovely little gem. It's by no means perfect but I'd be lying if I said that this isn't a great manga. The characters could've been expanded more as well as the story but all this was lost upon me because of the emotions that it managed to evoke. My heart was moved. I even cried at one particular scene at the end where he was saying goodbye to his now deceased mother and the home he grew up in. It just really tugged at my heart and I don't regret reading it. Though, having said that, I don't recommend reading this if I want something light and fluffy just to brighten up your day because it could just end up making you feel melancholic. Love this though and I'll definitely read this again someday. Plot: Smut: Fluff:

This mangaka really knows how to write about that really sweet and happy kind of love. Each one of their works that I've read has been an absolute joy. This one is going to be another addition to my completed faves list. I just thoroughly enjoyed how lovey-dove the characters were. Often times, I'd read BL where they'd say that they are very in love with each other and I kinda just take it. "Yeah, they seem happy and that makes me happy." However with this one, I genuinely felt their love for each other. It wasn't because of all the sex but it was the simple, little gestures that made me realize it. Plot: Smut: Fluff:

All stories were fun to read, 2nd couple was definitely my fave last on was my least but still pretty sweet and cute. The fact that the last couple dealt with some kind of disorder where the seme acted like a child due to trauma was interesting.
