muse ✨'s manga / #second chance at love(4)

A carefree son is summoned home after dad gets wind of his grades. He falls for his servant, who has crushed on him for ages. His dad's story: Twenty years after brothers-in-law-to-be fell in love and risked a forbidden affair, they have a chance to be together. Too short, but I would read a hundred chapters about the dad. Both story lines are entertaining, but the dad's -- finally being with the person you've loved for two decades -- really touched me. Honestly, I reread the dad's three chapters probably once a month. That's why this gets five stars. It really resonated, despite not being long or developed. I'd write a novel based on the concept of waiting twenty years to be with the person you loved.

A physical therapist with a specialty for happy endings finally reconnects with the one person he's been in love with for years, the captain of the football team he managed who injured his leg and that Minori hadn't been able to heal.

Two men are reunited after a bad breakup ten years earlier. They still harbor feelings and resentment over what happened, but they do take the second chance at love.

After ten years apart, Yuuito and Shougo meet by chance and begin dating, but their happiness is tempered by the memory of Aoi, their third friend and Shougo's former lover who died young. Things become complicated when Aoi's younger cousin, his exact image, comes into their lives. Happy ending! I wish they'd had the courage to tell each other how they felt as kids, but...sometimes you keep those things inside. This felt realistic. I wish it could've been more fleshed out! But I enjoyed this for what it is.
