fujomom's manga / #slice of life(121)

A quiet slice of life about Ishizaki, who was in love with his friend Mishima but lied and pushed him away in high school. Years later, he returns to his hometown and finds out Mishima has become a shut-in and live in a lighthouse. He persistently visits him, wondering what made him a shut-in and wanting to talk at least one more time.

Nice. Hirisawa transfers with his father to the countryside because he doesn't want his father to be alone. There he meets Takawa, a friendly guy who keeps pestering him. One day Hirisawa goes to Takawa's house because his father is going to be at party there and Takawa accidentally see's Hirisawa naked.

This was great! It's about a guy name Tachibana Yuuichi, who's family suddenly dies in a terrible car accident and he becomes the guardian of his young nephew. One day when walking with his nephew he wanders into a food stall sorta restaurant, which is run by Ryou. Ryou is a popular, super hansome ikemen. Ryou and Yuuichi grow closer and Ryou help him with his troubles with his nephew, but Ryou is hiding old emotional scars himself that falling in love with Yuuichi helps him overcome. The art in this was fantastic, and the plot was really well-rounded- sweet, dramatic, quiet and well-paced.

Great. Kuma works as a mover and one day helps move a former high school classmate Ino. Ino used to be an unsocial, unfriendly but stellar student and he acts like he doesn't recognize Kuma at first, but then later brings up the fact that Kuma was a track star in highschool but has stopped running, which is a sensitive subject for Kuma. They awkwardly fumble their way from two guys who don't like each other very much to lovers, with a brief detour into jealousy when Kuma lets his old couch crash at his apartment. The last chapter is SUPER hot, in particular!

I got super into this. It's about a guy named Yuuji who lives with his little, playboy, college-aged brother, named Kou. Yuuji and Kou take care of their sister's kids, Hayato and Kikka. Kou was adopted, so he's not actually related by blood to the kids. One day Hayato, who's 13, confesses that he's been in love with Yuuji for a long time now. Yuuji is stunned, so most of this manga is him dealing with the fact that Hayato is growing up, wanting to keep their family from falling apart, and fighting a SLOWLY growing attraction. Meanwhile, now that he's confessed Hayato's love is only growing and he wants to grow up and become independent so that he will be taken seriously. While this is going on, there's the side story of Kou and his best friend Hidaka who's secretly SUPER in love with Kou, to the point where he keeps track of everything about him in secret journals. I want Hayato and Kou to eventually be in a relationship of course, but I REALLY want to see Kou stop sleeping around and see Hidaka romantically.

This made me heart ache. So good. Maeda is a guy who works in a clothes store, and has good fashion sense but low self-esteem and thinks he's plain/ugly. He's in love with Yagi, a popular guy who visits various stores in the mall, but thinks there's no way anything will come of it, but after drinking one night they kiss. They start going out but Yagi gets temporarily transferred and Maeda has to deal with his crippling anxieties about their relationship.

Wonderful! High school boy secretly writes erotica and befriends another high school boy a couple years younger, named Yamaguchi. They grow closer when they try to get Yamaguchi’s sister to quit a host club (or whatever it’s called). When they almost get discovered at school, he tries to take the blame and say he forced himself on Yamaguchi, and then calls their relationship disgusting to push him away. This was heart-achingly good! Very moving plot!

So cute. An old lady goes to the book store for a cookbook and comes out with a BL manga. She gets very into it and it seems like she might become with the book store worker who also likes BL.

A bunch of sweet, fluffy one-shots! The first is about a florist and customer and doesn’t have much of any relationship development. The second is about a guy who returns to his hometown to help take care of the family store and get over his broken heart. He’s reunited with and old friend and he starts falling for him. Loved this chapter! 3) Highschool boys dating each other, both wanting to take the next step in their relationship but nervous.

Good stalker story. It’s about a rich boy in high school who bullied another boy, taking a picture of him with his pants down to blackmail him but deciding to keep the picture to himself. Years later he finds himself stalking the boy who’s now a salaryman. The former bully gets found out and he starts to openly stalk/pursue the now-salaryman.
