Focus on You
A quote crazy beginning, but it became very cute and nice. Just damn make want more chapters of them being cute and happy couple. Them both having issues with their families in different ways - making each other their safe space. Sweet.

THE WHOLESOMENESS IS GONNA KILLS ME. Background story of childhood friends, one got injured, second one blames himself. One has a huge loving family, second has a small horrible family (parents left, brother supports), one cares always for his family, the second works hard to support himself. Both care for one another deeply. Just such simple story about life’s hardships while seeing simple happiness in little things, AND UGH FOUND FAMILY TROPE IS SO GOOD. I loved this story, so so so sweet.

The way it could have been fixed so many times with communication BUT, otherwise THIS IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!! Ugh I just love just normal life, simple but so compelling stories! So much emotion is embodied in such stories, it makes me cry and feel warm and fuzzy inside. This really was - he fall first but he fall harder. Hase is just such a wonderful person and I wish I met someone like that in real life, really caring and compassionate. The world building was very nice too, with the coworkers, school and his old job boss, it made the story more interesting. Just overall this was sooooo cute, I wish it was longer!!
Kitto Kiss O Suru Toki
They’re all so stupidly adorable! I wish there was more plot though? The world building was quite weak, and it was basically just the 3 main characters and that’s it, felt empty in a way. It’s a cute story, I like the couple and the dynamics with the third character but it was just not that interesting or compelling I guess lol.
Totsugimasen Kara!
One of the rare omegaverse stories that are quite pure, and they really did fall in love on their own. Gotta love the enemies to lovers trope, they hated each other on first sight lol, but then slowly those lovely dovey feelings came hehe. I did like the story, it had nice plot, and it was a fun read. BUT DID WE GET NO KISS BETWEEN THE MAIN COUPLE BUT GOT A KISS WITH ANOTHER CHARACTER?! Like. Bruh. Tf. The chapter of them at the festival was the cutest, and really warmed my heart. Kiri my beloved. I need a sequel of him!!!
Gunjou no Subete
Ahhh…bittersweet love! Ths dialogue and thoughts behind the characters were SO good, felt like real people. The fear behind the accidental confession and all the times his heart was skipping a beat, going along with “straight” humor towards the friend he actually loves. It was beautifully written, though I did wish to see more of Ren’s side, and I really need a sequel of their relationship!!!!
Hoshii Toki Dake, Suki na Dake
Like the premise - working in same company and bam roommates. But it went kind of QUICK to sex and then Makino falling in love, like I know he said he is quick to fall in like but that was a little too fast bro, AND it kind of diminishes the love cause it means you just fall in love fast not that you truly fall in love…so honestly if I was Tsubaki I would have not gone out with him either. It’s not my fav story ever lol, but I enjoyed it!
Oazuke no Kiss no Yukue
Hands down author’s BEST manga, the premise slayed, the characters slayed, the development slayed, the world building slayed - everything was just SO GOOD. It starts with Shun just wanting to have sex cause he is so busy at work, and pays for prostitution services but then he books Nao, that doesn’t allow kissing…and Shun LOVES kissing, and the way Shun falls in love with Nao’s kind nature and they slowly develop feelings to each other without realizing…so goodddd! And Nao being so sweet, supporting his family (I cried ), I love that we met his family. And the side character Yoshikawa, bro is a jerk but damn WHO HURT YOU?? I need a side story of him.
Boku no Papa to Papa no Hanashi
This might be one of the best "guys with kids" out there. THIS IS SO GOOD AND CUTE BUT SO REAL AND GUT WRENCHING I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!
