Old-fashioned Cupcake
subordinate x boss (age gap) - another age gap that im ok with like the cop one (30 and 40) and if starting with the official translation, there's more! (ch 0-5 after the first 5.6) vol 2 made me cry, ineed more of them tgt.. - official translation made less sense than the fan trans in ch5.6 - suuuuuuper adorable and introspective, honestly hits home how nozue thinks, honestly i feel like him and im a little more than half his age - i could learn a thing or two from how he and togawa face lide - honestly theyre rly so adorable and mesh so well, i love seeing them take care of e/o, in the past and present - nozue feeling loved when togawa gets the roach for him in the bonus is so cute - rly is just lovely - some slightly dubious wording from togawa regarding their sex life in ch 5.5(?)
Ginmokusei: The Tailor Shop
tailor shop partners (reencounter) (cw: homophobic side character) - i thought it was dubcon (bc of alcohol) for their first meeting but spoiler, it wasn't so thats good - lovely lovely i love the actual story and progression of their relationship, the stores, and ubuki's self confidence(?) - BOO TO THE EX - i wanna wrap ubuki up lil sweetie... anyways they're adorable and i love the hugs and kisses - he rly did look so cute with his old hair style tho LOL but if his ex liked it more then no >:[
Vanilla Chocolate Cigarette
coworkers + stories with neighbours - pretty adorable buildup and good communication btwn tsubaki and azuma ;; - i do prefer this one over the prequel, maybe bc i felt more i touch w the MC? esp his loneliness and seeing the cuteness of the established rel of the first stories characters was cute
Koko wa YES to Ittekure

Mamotte Agetai Sawatari-san
lucky x unlucky coworkers (ch3 dubcon ️ ;/) - overall adorable aaaaaaaaaah - akutsu is so sweet and hiroshi is so cute and theyre both so considerate - theyre so silly oml drunk hiroshi is so oblivious - their other coworker omllll a bro for giving hiroshi advice but dude dont just tell ppl he's gay even if akutsu told u - that was a bit sudden for hiroshi in ch3 :// dont know why akutsu would do that if he didnt like him (answer:he's also oblivious) - he knew it was wrong tho (ch4)
Kimi no Ahimoto de Ai wo shiru
dom x sub (subverse... like actually), not too smut heavy which was nice - LOL OK i went into this thinking it's a silly concept and i still think that BUT it's surprisingly super healthy, with the boundaries and feelings and consent - loool based off the concept and how straightforward they are w their feelings i can see some ppl being averse to it but i think it's nice that it's not too hardcore and doesnt have too much smut :p - iffy on the 4th ch but they explain it being his dom desires - honestly they're adorable and just so good for e/o, sota is so thoughtful and pampering and kippei is so sweet - i wish there was an extra aaaa - when they turned away all embarrassed in the last chapter aw - some ppl feeling like the characters become ooc but idk i dont feel that??
Dental Darling
idk how to tag this!!! dentists? - honestly so goofy and uneventful but i loved it LOOOOL like the relationship was slow developing and tbh their communication was both bad and good back to back (regarding their feelings lol) but they're both adorably awkward - ESP the goofy lil expressions they get drawn with lmfaoooo - saijo is such a good guy lmfaoooo made me laugh
