AlysonBj's manga / #childhood friends(335)

There are too many oneshots, like 5 or 6 and sometimes i found this distracting and i couldnt focus. The plot is simple, sometimes jealousy, misunderstanding and make up, sometimes break-up for misunderstanding, and then make up. For all this i will give 4 stars, since the stories dont have rapes or non-con, and a good end.

What can i say, the manga is cute and the couple sweet, but all the chapters feel like the same. There is no action, and i dont mean sex scenes, but real action and plot. The only thing that makes me give 3 stars and not less, is the fact that there is no rape or cheat and that the main chars are in love and a couple since high-school.

I must say that if the manga was all about Nakamura and Kaji(Toshiaki) i would have given 5 stars, but since we have also Kujirai and Takasaki, i cant give the max stars. Kujirai and Takasaki are childhood friends and step-brothers, but not blood related. I bet all i have ,they have mutual feelings, but we dont know why Kujirai prefers to be a slu*. He has sex for credits, for money, makes gay AV, kisses random ppl (also Nakamura and Toshiaki)and we yes, find out he is paying his mother hospital bills, but when Tokasaki finds out and wants to help him giving him money, he after continues also doing the movies and doesnt accept to be in a relationship with the other man. Dont ask me why.... i pitied both. The story starts with Makoto, that is Toshiaki's nephew, going to his uncle's house. There he meets his group of friends that show him some video. From this moment on is like an episode of "How i met your mother". We go back like 8 years before, when Toshiaki was 18 and in a train going to the entrance cerimony at the university, on the train he saves a boy his same age that wasnt feeling well. After we see Toshiaki joining a drama club, and meeting the ppl that will be his future friends. There his attention falls on Kujirai, a boy he met some minutes before in the alley, and that kissed him. Toshiaki is straight and has never thought about another man like that, but he cant keep his eyes off another boy there, the shy and virgin Nakamura that is staring angry at him, and he doesnt know why. (he was the boy on the train) The days pass, and we see Nakamura falling in love with Toshiaki and being jealous all the time, Kujiari joking, kisses the other man. Nakamura is convinced that Toshiaki is in love with Kujiari, but is not like that. Luckly with time, the 2 young men will understand that their feelings are mutual, but before that a lot more happens. Nakamura and Toshiaki start becoming friends, and go watch movies together, they start to spend a lot of time together. One day an ex-member of the club goes to visit them, but he finds only Nakamura there. The sempai tries to have his way with him, and Nakamura calls Kaji name as a reflex. Kaji isnt there, but luckly Kujiari comes and stops the sempai before he can do anything. Nakamura and Kujiari talk, and the younger boy understands that he is in love with Toshiaki(Kaji). The next day a casuality puts Nakamura in Toshiaki's arms, and the other boy remembers the train episiode. Nakamura to stop him from talking, kisses him but after says he is sorry and goes away. Toshiaki knows that this kiss is different from the ones Kujiari gives him and the others as a joke. When Nakamura hurts his ankle, Toshiaki takes him to his house, there he starts touching his ankle for the bandage, but after he is done there, he cant stop and his hands move up. He doesnt know what he is doing, in the end he finds himself giving an handjob to Nakamura and kissing him. From that day on their relationship changes. Both cant stop thinking about that night, and the readers understand that the 2 young men were in love since long before that moment. When Toshiaki finds out what that ex-sempai had tried to do, he gets jealous and possessive, and wants to protect Nakamura. When the other boy gets a flu, he takes him again to his house,and doesnt want anyone else to touch him. Soon after they will have their first time together and for both the first with a man, and we know this, bcs one of the club member, was filming them, and they stop the camera just in time before we see the full act bcs they find out someones is filiming them, but they were clearly going that way. We are now back to Makoto's time, when Toshiaki and Nakamura are 27, and still a couple and really in love. I liked these 2 guys, but i cant forget about Kujirai's story, so i will give 4.5 stars. The ch10 is a oneshot and i would have liked to read more about them, was starting to become interesting.

Oishii Otoko (Spin-Off) “It’s fine if our hearts aren’t connected”, that is what Takamura sensei thought when he confessed to his student, Rin. But after a few times of bodily contact, Takamura started to desire Rin’s heart. Will Rin open himself up and accept Takamura? (from mangaupdates) From the start we know that their feelings are mutual, and i really loved this manga. It's difficult to find a manga, with a good plot and graphic, and at the same time great feelings. I think that the mangaka here did something beautiful. Takamura and Rin, met for the first time when one was 17 and the other 10, at that time they become friends during the piano lessons they both went to. They have one song, they made together and played it all the time during the lessons. That song is the symbol of their love, for both the first love. Now years later, Takamura is a sensei and Rin is an high-schooler in the same school. Their love story starts with the consent of both, and the scene where they have sex for the first time, was really sweet. Takamura is gentle, possessive, passionate, and respectful, he cares about Rin so much that he gets hurt when for a misunderstanding he thinks Rin doesnt care about him. Takamura is the first to confess his love,Rin will do it only in the last chapter. We still know that he loves the older man, when he too gets jealous, possessive and when we read his thoughts. Nice manga. ps= Rin's father is sexy as hell ;DDDDDDDD, i would like a story about him XD

I liked this manga but sometimes i felt like it missed something, and idk what. I wanted to know more about Tsukasa and his past experiences, since we know that he is not (at least so it seems)a virgin anymore, while Riku still is. The story was nice, and they are sweet. Two childhood friends riunited becomes loves, and declare their mutual love started 10 years ago. The chibi were cute and beautiful.

Chihiro is the heir of an old family with business in confectionary and is in love with his childhood friend and manager Katsumi. The two boys were always together since they were small and now that they are adults, their feelings changed from friendship to love. Their love is mutual, but is only after a rival arrives that Katsumi will reveal his true feelings for his young master. In the 2nd story, we see the rival of before, start a relationship with his nephew. They are not blood related so there is not incest. I liked this story less than the first one. In ch07, we see again the first couple discussing about the fact that Chihiro will need one day to marry and have an heir, and Katsumi telling him that also if theirs will become an affair he will never leave him. Chihiro gets angry bcs for him there will not be anyone else and in the end he wants to tell his mother about their relationship. Before they have the time to confess to his mother what's going on btw them, the woman tells them that the girl declined the marriage and making a joke she says that maybe Chihiro should merry Katsumi. We understand that maybe the mother knows more than she tells, and that anyway Chihiro would never merry if not with Katsumi. In ch08 we see again the 2nd couple in a funny moment and i liked them here.

Aikotoba wa Hallelujah (Sequel) Emono no Kimochi (Side Story) Shuuichiro is a famous composer, who was abandoned by his wife soon after their son was born. Now he is raising the boy alone. One day walking down the street a guy calls for him, he mistakes him for a rent boy and sleeps with him. Later the man will tell him he knows who he is, and Shuuichiro will pay him to not tell his secret. The thing is that the other man wasnt a rent boy, but his older cousin. When they were younger they used to play together and during one of their games, to save the older boy Shuuichiro had hurt himself badly. When a few days later Botan, his son, comes home with a new "pet", he isnt surprised to see that the new cat is his older cousin Shizuka. Shuuichiro still didnt recognize the man, and the other one sure as hell doesnt want to tell him who he is, not after he payed him like a rent boy. The 3 of them start living together, and Shuuichiro starts falling in love with the other man, and gets jealous easily of the other ppl near him. When Shizuka finally tells him who he really is, Shuuichiro understands why he had been so attracted to him, and why he didnt want the older man to leave. Shizuka will confess him a secret, when they made love that time in the hotel, that was his first time, and that their feelings are mutual. I loved the uke personality, he is strong, knows what he wants and how to get it. He is smart and cute, but doesnt want to be dominated. I give 5 stars bcs i really liked the couple and i think we need more ukes like this one.

Tone (Prequel) Emono no Kimochi (Side Story) Shu and Shizuka are back and in this volume there is a love rival. A famous actor living near Shu's house gets interested in Shizuka and with misunderstandings and white lies tries to separate the 2 lovers, and make his old rival pay. Luckly nothing happens btw Shizuka and that man, but is his fault if the 2 lovers fight. I liked this volume and like i said before i love Shizuka personality and how in the end he makes Shu do all he wants, without him understanding it. In this new manga we see also Botan becoming friend with Tora, the son of the rival, and I'm pretty sure that in future the 2 boys could become a couple too.

He doesn’t remember when it began, but it seems Tomosaka has been in love with Noda forever. The thing is, he can’t exactly confess his feelings because the two are best friends. And to protect the friendship, Tomosaka has to lock away his feelings deep inside him. (from mangaupdates) One day the womanizer Noda,starts to understand that he too is actually fallen in love with Tomosaka. This couple was nice and sweet and i liked to see that 2 years after they become a couple they are still together and will be for a long time. The last chapter is a oneshot about the manager of the cafe where Tomosaku works, and was really sad, bcs also if the manager is in love with his best friend and their feeling are mutual, both of them dont confess and while the manager continues pining and remembering when years ago they had made love and kissed, the other goes on with his life and marries and has kids, but without even understanding that he is being cruel he goes all the time to visit him at the cafe and pass time with him. Really sad, bcs they will never be more than friends...also if they love each other and that's so stupid....

Oda and Hasegawa are childhood friends that in the end fall in love. I liked the story, also if was really strange with those flying pigs.....anyway i cant give a lot of rating bcs the plot isnt so good and i wanted to see more action...pun intended...
