muse ✨'s manga / #romance(83)

A thirty-year-old man falls for the young, sweet bartender at the bar he frequents. I really wanted to see the scene of them having dinner with the bartender's dad!

A 26yo virgin mistakes a stranger for his favorite porn star and propositions him. This was surprisingly moving, although the love interest is a bully. He softens a bit as the story goes on.

After he's caught having sex with his neighbor's wife, a man feels guilt when he learns of their divorce and that his neighbor has quit his job due to trauma. (Fun twists, it's not what it seems.) A young man hopelessly in love with his straight best friend meets a gentle, older man who turns out to be a doctor.

A salaryman leading an ordinary life stumbles across an AV set and meets the love of his life.

AW! This is really sweet. The art does have some wacky proportions, but the kid is precious and these two like each other.

If Junjou Romantica and Soredemo Yasashii Koi wo Suru hooked up and had a baby manga, it'd be this. Kirishima, a guy with a massive brother complex is the secret love interest of his gay best friend, Toudou, who accepts the love as unrequited and, for a time, appears to have taken an interest Kirishima's little brother Hokuto. But like Onoda in Soredemo, when Kirishima learns that Toudou has been in love with him for many years and wants to end their friendship, he refuses to let Toudou out of his life and insists they try to date. Sweet. Not my favorite but endearing, and it didn't make me cry.

A collection of beautiful, quiet, moving, melancholy stories. The most developed is a young tea master who saves a wounded member of the yakuza from dying; they have the first few and final chapter.
