muse ✨'s manga / #futekiya(28)

After his heart is broken by the school nurse, a boy falls in love with his openly gay classmate. Moves quickly but interesting. Surprisingly happy ending.

Members of a film club reunite as costars in a gay drama.

A boy sees his mother cry for the second time when she catches him about to kiss his sleeping cousin, who often crawls through his window to borrow his air conditioning. This is a gentle story about mutual love, and there is the thread of a story about parental acceptance. In the end, the mother reminds them to use a blanket in the cooling weather, indicating she knows they're going to sleep together - and while this doesn't indicate approval, per se, it shows her acceptance. While it was sweet of the scanlation team to take the effort, they duplicated many pages in this with colorized versions, which are distracting to some readers. Head's up if that bugs you.

A yakuza and a cop fall in love, minus the regular drama. A lot of head injuries though.

A tailor determined to stay in his deteriorating neighborhood finds it hard when gangsters show up, determined to ruin it. But a childhood friend reappears and might be able to help. I prefer this author's story "Get the key to my heart" over this, but this was cute.

A month after his older brother’s funeral, Kei discovers intimate photographs of him and his roommate, Akinari, and realizes they had been lovers. To complicate things, Akinari is the person Kei has loved for 10 years. Surprisingly they get into a relationship, and Akinari doesn’t hesitate the way I expected he would. I’ve been thinking about the story for a couple of days after I read it on Futekiya. It really stuck with me. How OFF was the original relationship that Akinari can recover this quickly? Or is he rebounding with Kei? I love a story that makes my mind spin out of control. It's now Thursday (I read this last weekend) and I'm still thinking about it. Because I can't get this out of my head, it's going on my favorites list. I'm giving it five stars here instead of four since I feel bad for its rating. :-(

Taira's sense of smell leads him to the person he likes, but they don't hit it off right away. The assault warning is for the main story. Chapter 5 is a ride: a guy obsessed with someone he can't have (his brother), so he gets plastic surgery to look more like him.

Years after the tragic death of his lover, Haru from MODS gets a happy ending with his lover’s younger brother.
