Mama Fujoushi's manga / #Drama(23)

NOT necessarily one I want to read again. Dark and unhappy ending. :(

LONG story (26 chapters) with Kiyomine and Takara (Shorty). MIA photographer father, dead mom & grandparents. Kiyomine has the sister complex for Ayako. Good story, if long.

Middle school friends separate in hs, then find each other later. One is in an abusive relationship (real abuse, not bdsm disguised as abuse or vice versa). They finally break up and the two end up back together.

151 pages ANGST! Made me cry, actually, but still good. <3 The continuation of Yorokobi wa hiza no ue. I like this one better. On reread, I don't think Sagara slept with the woman (and it's entirely possible she wasn't even there all night. Aoi certainly didn't see everyone leave the building. The shoes were pretty basic dress shoes. Also, I do like this one (and omg crying), though I wish there was a bit more backstory with Aoi and how he figured out he was in love with his brother Kouki. Also... I did *not* like their mother. She came across as an uncaring bitch. She made sure he had a place to go, but it certainly seemed like she favored Kouki over Aoi too much. I don't think Aoi would have turned out the way he did if she hadn't pushed him away. One thing I did NOT like about Sagara was telling Aoi while he's already crying and feeling like no one wants him, --that his mother didn't want him. That was so wrong. I don't care how much you claim to love someone, that's SO wrong. And why didn't they make a formal statement about losing that "each other's business" bullshit? *sigh* No more rereading this one, m'kay? I need to let go of this story.

Sweet but hard story with the "adopted" brothers. I'd have given it more, but I don't understand removing him from the family registry. That made no sense to me and like it was just a way to make him hurt their mom. Weird.

University student and his brother-in-law, struggling with their love because of the dead sister/wife.

Really good but tough continuation of "Episode 0". Twisted and dark about a programmed assassin and the boy who wakes him up from his programming. HEA! It IS an HEA. Weird and twisted side story of a teacher/student that just... no. That doesn't even factor in. It just doesn't exist. :P Last chapter is a parallel world with Ito and Kyousuke where they are teacher and student and end up together. OMG I don't believe I didn't update this after the last two chapters. Wow, this is AMAZING. The last two chapters are just incredible and I just can't get over how happy they are together in the end. Wonderful!

See "Itou-san". This is part 1.

Three brothers, not related by blood. Oldest is an art director, youngest is in acting. THey have to live together and one has to "win" to inherit the house. One has PTSD from abuse in his past. The youngest and middle fall in love with each other. I loved loved loved their relationship. <3
