Jay's manga / #Friends to lovers(10)

Nagahama to Be, or Not to Be

Complete | SCARLET Beriko | 2023 released

I would sell my soul for Nagisa and Issa. They’re so sweet together. Of course the art is beautiful, as is the storytelling. What a gem of a manga. I’m so glad that sensei is writing more of it! Follow her on IG or Twitter if you want updates.

Window to Window

Complete | Lee Aru,이아루 | 2016 released

My first manhwa! I just love it and my boys so much. It’s one I’ll always come back to.

Hatsukoi no Kaeru Shima

Complete | ayano kamu | 2019 released

Super cute friends to lovers story, and a perfect summer read. I love when food is a big focus in manga.

Tameshi ni Komando Itte mita

Ongoing | Yukue moegi | 2022 released

This is such a cute and funny dom/sub-verse manga! Definitely one of the best I’ve read.

Light of My Life

Ongoing | Takiba, Minami Fuuko | 2000 released

I absolutely love the development between Aki and Minagi. The story’s slow, but it works well, especially since there’s lots of backstory to cover.

Follow the twinkling blue of the stars

Complete | Coico ico | 2022 released

I absolutely adore this manga! Yamato and Isshin are so cute, and the way they were reunited is pretty original. They belong together <3

Boku wa Kimi to Koi ga Shitai

Ongoing | Kida sattsu | 2022 released

Such an unbelievably sweet, heart-warming read. Souta and Sakuma treat each other so well and are so in love, it sometimes felt like I was intruding. I loveee it!

Hime Muko

Complete | Serizawa Tomo | 2000 released

O. M. G. Everything about this manga is perfect. The art is top tier, and the story is gripping, and I love the way Yamato and Shiki’s relationship develops. It was painful at times and brought tears to my eyes, but it was also so sweet. I just adore those two.

Happy Birthday Chitose-kun!

So cute! I loved getting to see flashbacks of Chitose and Koutaka’s relationship as high schoolers. It was the biggest focus though, so I would’ve liked to see more of them as adults. (Also, it was hard to tell the difference between some of the characters when they were in the baseball team, since they all had the same haircut.)

Hatsukoi ni wa kanawanai

Complete | yoriko | 2019 released

Both stories are so good, and I wish there was more of them, especially the second. I’m a sucker for a popular x unpopular couple. I also love their friend, Watanabe. I wish there was more of her. As for the first story, it’s so hotttt. Unsurprising, since Yoriko’s a smut extraordinaire.
