muse ✨'s manga / #multiple stories(215)

Two in one: - Our MC rescues a coworker locked in a bathroom stall and discovers it's a former elementary school classmate who's had one hell of a glow-up - Our second MC struggles with growing feelings for the effeminate Gen, a childhood friend he's kept close since finding him in his sister's skirt

Three stars for the second story only, a businessman and a guy in a book store. In the others, the pace moved too quickly to get invested.

Read for the first story: After revealing his sexuality in an attempt to become closer to his wife, a 40-something man is left to raise his young daughter alone. Lucky for him, his boss thinks he's pretty cute. The second story is an interesting concept. What would happen if a trans girl fell in love with someone who is only attracted to men? The author had her very quickly decide that she would live as a man so she could be with the person she loved. I found that troubling. You don't become someone else for the sake of a partner. However, in the next chapter (which is not on Mangago yet), he bought her a pair of earrings he knew she loved, and he agreed to top, which was something she'd been too afraid to ask for initially. So maybe they can come to a solution where she can be her authentic self, and they can still be together. The third story: A traveler from Japan meets a man named Bird about to jump off of a cliff.

I wanted to see how I felt about josei. I liked it! The two I remember: a woman gets with her childhood friend; another meets a guy when she's stranded on the side of the road and accidentally burns down his late parents' house.

I didn't give up on this, so I'll give it a three, and I like that the main character was able to remain friends with the person he's been in love with for years, even though he's found someone else.

Collection by Asou Mitsuaki. Full disclosure: This author is my favorite, and I will read anything she writes with great interest and very slowly to absorb the details. 1) A young escort is assigned to a problematic client who has to be blindfolded and tied up to enjoy sex because of past psychological trauma. Things become complicated when the client turns out to be someone from work. 2) A university student falls for his sempai who is in love with his brother-in-law.

What a ride! - A wine rep who blogs about his cat falls for a restaurant owner with a feline allergy - Boyfriends of eight years are on the verge of marrying when a family member intervenes - Tragedy: A one-night stand between a Japanese assassin and his foreign target. It ends in suicide. HOWEVER! They show up reincarnated at the end of the final chapter. (Has TYL vibes -- talk of expulsion etc.)

Two men who met on a dating app and claimed to be twenty are in for a shock when they fall in love and then discover they're actually a teacher and student from the same school...with a nine-year age gap. Stepbrothers confess their love in the face of a divorce. (Features the best friend from story one.) A guy falls for his barber. (Super short.) Something about coworkers. I was also a science nerd so I liked the extra. :-D

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.

Two in one: Ten years after a rejected confession, two men get another chance...but the one feels so much guilt, he resorts to abusive sex as atonement. After college, a guy moves to the country and falls for the only person his age. The art in this is GORGEOUS. Also the author is an eruri shipper :-D
