muse ✨'s manga / #multiple couples(58)

This was refreshing. People genuinely liked each other and developed real emotions. The first story is about a makeup artist and hair stylist. A man with an awful personality is befriended by a co-worker and eventually warms into someone tolerable. Also they fall in love. The second story is about his brother, who grew up in his shadow, and as a result has pushed everyone away from him. He also falls in love.

A set of intertwined stories set against a high school backdrop. The president of the school trip club desperately tries to befriend a withdrawn student, going to the length of following him home and meeting his grandparents. The other story involves the president’s best friend and younger brother. Asou Mitsuaki is a subtle, delicate writer and artist. This was not silly. It had a wonderful emotional depth, like all of her work. I absolutely love her stories.

This collection of stories is an homage to the author’s fetish for glasses. I don’t remember a thing about the stories.

Multiple couples mostly involving people at a tattoo shop. Cute but not the sort of stories that stick with you. None of them is developed well enough to really care about anyone.

A promising start. Team switch high school boyfriends (although we only hear about it) and one of their older brothers and his own love affair. They had sex all the time which is par for the course, but the artist couldn’t decide what she wanted the characters to look like, and they changed greatly throughout the story. The original couple was fairly similar in build, but by the end there was an extreme size difference. One of their older brothers had his own love affair. But no one really seemed to like anyone else. Both of the brothers were sadistic. The whole thing turned me off

A young Omega is discarded by his family and raised by a prominent wolf, whom he falls in love with but learns can never bond with him. Luckily, through the magic of manga, it all works out just fine. The sequel Remnant follows the other couple, who tbh are more interesting than the main, which was sweet. Read both for them, since there are bits of them here that aren't in the other story (like Daato/Darth realizing he's pregnant).

I work in publishing and relate to this series on many levels. Kisa & Yukina are my favorites to read about because they're at a stage where their relationship is steady and evolving, so they're dealing with fun roadbumps like not enough time to meet up, being super fucking tired from work, realizing you don't know odd specific details about your SO, family members, impending life changes, and more! Yokozawa and Kirishima have quickly become my second-favorite couple in this, although I mainly know them from their OVA and light novels. I'll probably die before Onodera falls in love. April 2020: Yokozawa and Kirishima had a proper chapter??? They got engaged??? I??????? Cried. March 2022: 16 days until Onodera falls in love, but we got a FAKEOUT DREAM SEQUENCE that made me scream a little.

A multi-generational story of a family cursed to use a power that causes them physical harm, and the paper dolls - kami - who take on their pain. In good yaoi fashion, that means having a lot of sex. Also the puppets are made from human remains (for future generations, the remains of their own family.) Isn't yaoi fun. Among the stories, there were three I liked best: Genma and Himi (beware dub and noncon in their early days), Waki and Magane (because of the emotional challenge of being in love with someone who is bound to someone else), and Shoui and Asari. Theirs was, hands down, the best of the stories. The twins are awful. I skipped them on re-read. ETA: Considering I can't get this out of my head, adding it to the top 100 list. 4/25/20 - Still think about this a lot. Added a star. Skipped the twins again. They serve zero purpose and ruin so many poignant moments.
