fujomom's manga / #unrequited love(165)

Divorced guy is deep in debt and asks his gay childhood friend for money. Childhood friend says ok but only if he becomes his lover. I love how quickly the in-debt guy agrees to the arrangement lol. They kinda just cohabitate for a while until the in-debt guy's wife tries to get back together with him, then shit hits the fan. I loved the gay friend's pissed off faces. They are literally the best lolol They start legit dating but the gay guy is deeply insecure because of a past relationship and worries that their realtionship is doomed because of the divorced guy being straight.

So, I'm not overly fond of big age-gap stories, but this is pretty nice. A older office worker runs into his first love and meets his first love's son. The son visits him at his apartment a lot and they grow close in a cute, realistic kind of way. Then one day the young man finds an old, never sent love letter in a book and things change between them The older man is embarrassed and the younger one begins to realize his feelings. The relationship development is sweet but I'm mentally bracing myself for future tragedy with this one.

Boy finds out that his cat ate another boy's goldfish and that the reason why that boy is so upset about the goldfish is that it was given to him by his stepbrother, whom he's in love with. This is going to be a story about getting over heartbreak and stumbling awkwardly in love. I'm looking forward to new chapters!

The slow-moving, slice of life, story of a younger, college-age guy in love with the owner of a restaurant that he works in during the summers. At first it's an unrequited love because the owner was in a long term relationship but he comes back one year and the owner is single and obviously recovering from being heart-broken. The younger guy decides to confess even though he's not expecting much, but the restaurant owner decides to give a relationship a try.

Boy has been in love with his father's lover for quite some time but gradually realizes that he has feelings for his best friend. Pretty adorable, and the gay dad and lover were a fairly unique spin on the usual.

Oh snap, I'm really intrigued! Nerdy, weak student has loved popular boy ever since elementary school, and becomes stronger (pretty much a delinquent though lol) but still loves the boy. Then one day while stalking him, he overheas him cursing and acting totally out of character. The popular boy realizes he's been caught and agrees to do anything so nobody finds out his real personality. Delinquent guy blackmails him to do kinky stuff, of course lol

Guy has loved his straight friend for ages, confessing in high school. The friend promises to go on a date with him every year on his birthday until he finds someone else to love. 10 years pass and the gay guy decides he's had enough and tells his friend he's in love with someone else.

Hm, so I liked this as I like most realistic relationship stories but something feels incomplete about this. The gay friend even at the end that although he's back together with the ex that he never stopped long that he won't even feel at ease or trust him, which is kinda sad. And the "straight" guy is still hiding and denying their relationship.

3 couples/stories. First is an unrequited love story between childhood friends. Boy has loved his friend ever since he was kissed as a joke and confesses when drunk. The friend seems to accept it too easily and the in-love friend thinks that he's not taking it seriously and is only curious. Second, delinquent looking boy is in love with his cutesy classmate but doesn't say anything until one day the cutesy guy says he's going to confess to another boy. Third, a guy can't handle taking care of his place because of a work-related injury so he hires a temp. housekeeper that turns out to be an old classmate. Housekeeper decides that apparently BJs are an included service lol

UGH. So, basic plot- broken hearted, Shinobe, guy has a one night stand with a handsome stranger after finding out his unrequited love is getting married to a woman. Then he finds out the man is his boss and his boss determinedly pursues him. I was drawn in, getting the feels, thinking that the boss was really in love with the main Shinobe, since he tells Shinobe to only look at him and forget his love for his friend. But then once Shinobe gets over his friend and declares his love to the boss the boss turns in a COMPLETE ASSHOLE and ignores him many times, even taking another guy to his apartment RIGHT IN FRONT OF SHINOBE!!! UGH! Shinobe transfers and the boss starts to regret what he did, even though he's still fucking many other guys and wondering why he's not happy! I will keep reading this because apparently I'm a masochist. UGH. But I want the boss to REALLY suffer. I want his heart to break and for the heartbreak to make him crazy. Only then will I up my rating on this.
