muse ✨'s manga / #feels like starlight(159)

A man is cruelly dumped by his lover who moves out while he's on vacation. He learns to trust again when he befriends his new roommate. Childhood friends who have pretended to date since childhood to spare one from bullying because of his sexuality. I almost cried.

Six years into their relationship, Pochi and Tama finally begin living together. These are their domestic adventures. This was the sweetest, fluffiest, purest thing I've ever read. I feel cleansed.

Rikiya is a shy college student desperate for his first boyfriend. He creates a profile on a social network and is delighted to make his first connection, but the man drugs him, intent on filming pornography. Rikiya is saved when he inadvertently summons a demon (who looks suspiciously like Rin Okamura), but he wants nothing from the demon once he's out of danger and wishes for the demon to return home. But Endo is running from an arranged marriage and decides to stay at Rikiya's for a while.

This was SO sweet! A second grade teacher, Hitsuji, is reunited with the man he'd loved in high school - who is the single father of one of Hitsuji's students.

Realizing his attraction to Hinata, Kageyama avoids contact with him outside of practice, but Hinata won't accept not being friends off the court -- especially when Kagayama is off his game. In an effort to get his reason across and satisfy his own feelings, Kageyama holds him for a few minutes on the premise that Hinata isn't allowed to ask why. But instead of scaring Hinata away, it's the start of a daily ritual he allows to improve Kagayama's performance that only inflames unrequited love. Original comment: I've never seen this show but I've read about these two hooking up like ten times now.

One evening in the snow, a 26yo man finds a high school student passed out drunk and takes him home. Over the next year, they become friends and fall in love. The author published extras that make up the 7th chapter. She envisions them together in a decade. I love how much she loves them!

Five stars for the last chapter about a man in love with his quiet hairdresser. The ending line made me laugh out loud. I was waiting for something profound. Five stars for the first story too! A physical therapist is pursued by an 18yo volleyball player from the school next door. Three stars for the middle story: childhood friends who start dating in high school. The boyfriend is selfish, which makes sense given their ages, but the second chapter ruins the first.

A man one year into his career takes over his family farm after his father's sudden passing, and becomes the love interest of a local chef, the only person who appreciates his failed vegetables.
