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

Pretty standard story so far. Boys are childhood friends. One has an unrequited crush on his popular playboy friend. I would like this more with less of a smug attitude from the playboy friend. Feels like he's just messing around with his feelings.

I was really confused for the first several pages of chapter 1 but that all seemed to melt away as the story progressed. Then I realized that part was in the story before this and this one is a sequel. This is about 2 high school boys, Tsuda and Endou, who are very close friends, close in a way that makes most everyone realize there's something more there, but they're relationship seems to be an odd frozen state. There's even less progress between them than in the previous manga. But a few things happen, like Tsuda's flirty brother, their uncertainty about their future after high school, and a girl confessing that stirs things up between them and forces them to be more honest with themselves. The hug between Tsuda and Endou at the end- OOF, all the feels. Next chapter NOW please!

Taichi becomes close with a hearing impaired boy and starts taking notes for him in college in exchange for lunches. The hearing impaired kid is drawn out of his shell for Taichi's sunny, warm-hearted personality and that turns into love. Taichi is slow to truly realize both of their feelings. Really hope this is updated soon, it left off at a super crucial part of their relationship.

Gay yankee delinquent is really bad with relationships, until one day he gets dragged into a bar by a guy he was about to mug but then felt sorry for. The guy hires him to work at the bar and the delinquent likes the bar owner so much he decides to help buy the bar from the bar owner's ex-boyfriend.

I liked this but it was pretty depressing. Not sad enough to make me cry but definitely a downer. This is a slice of life story about a girly boy in the country who gets bullied by a group of guys in his school. One of the bullies is secretly gay too and they become good friends (I really disliked how his life ended, with him apparently still in the closet). One of the bullies has a crush on him and the bullied boy ends up with him and it's nice, though I wish they'd had him in the story more so you could see more development between them. There's also a kinda pitiful, secretly gay teacher that almost rapes the bullied boy. I say pitiful because of the mini chapters of him at the end show him as a kid falling in love with another boy and facing hate because of that and having to deny that part of himself, which is what makes him warped as an adult.

Hm, a quiet story about a guy who gets an on-site job (job with a dorm) to escape his sisters and save up money for his boyfriend. He sneaks out of the dorm with a handsome co-worker and goes to his boyfriend's house to discover him cheating on him.

Sloooooooow development. This is about childhood friends who become roommates after highschool. But Suou has noticed lately that Ryou seems to be keeping a secret....

Awww, precious. I don't even mind if the kid doesn't grow up and there's never any real romance. I enjoyed just seeing them be friends. Adorable. But I hope someone updates this someday...

First chapter isn't much yet. Guy who's set to succeed his grandfather's company is tricked into going to the country and can't return until he learns the value of hard work. He meets a farm worker there who mistakes him for a "wife" he's expecting to arrive. He gets close to the farm worker until a "friend" comes and visits and messes everything up like a jerk.

Guy is hot and miserable thinking about his recent break-up when his neighbor runs into him and tells him he could hear them having sex. Then it ends. Just like that. JUST LIKE THAT! No resolution! No for certain hook-up. Ugh, even like a couple more pages and this could've ended better.
