Mama Fujoushi's manga / #Multiple stories(368)

Cute with the childhood friends (where one starts dating a another guy classmate) and the one left behind ends up with the teacher. Fun, neither too heavy nor too light. Sex is good (though tame). Overall good for a reread.

Side characters from "Love Me Hard")

As of 4/17--First four chapters, which are really good. Light and fluffy and fun. Really enjoyed them.

Decent collection of one shots. I enjoyed all of them but the coworkers with the shampoo and the neighbors were the best, I think. (1 and 2...?) Still, all good for rereads.

pg 7-72 "This good relationship bothers me" (working colleagues, sex-friends) pg 73-104 "Deep in Winter" (childhood friends, schoolmates) pg 105-112 "Under the stars" (continuation of "Deep in Winter") pg 113-128 "Lets sparkle" (Boss&Subordinate <- and the latter is rather...unique?) pg 129-154 "Library Temptation" (Highschooler & adult and it's somehow just ..*sizzle*) pg 155-178 "Library Love" (continuation and it's amazing) pg 179-200 "Lingering Traces" (continuation) pg 201-210 "Fireworks hanabi" (continuation) 214 pages ... I didn't like the last one. There was no explanation as to why they were apart. The title was "library love" but they separated for a year? Da fuq was that? No. No no no. I would have given this a four but that took up too much of the volume. The two students were good, but it felt, too, like there'd be a separation (for no reason I could see). First (7-72 with the coworkers) and the fourth one (113-128) were the best. If I reread, don't bother past 128. Too disappointing. Okay, reread to see if I'd missed something, since I love this mangaka. The separation with no explanation still bothers me in the library stories. I don't get it. There's nothing to say why he's not there or why they didn't see each other. The last two with them... kinda... ? Back together? Meh. Still not cool. I just cant wrap my brain around it. The other three stories: the first couple, the students, and the boss/subordinate, were all good. Still, I think the company president one (Shachou to Hisho), the one with the mover (Mata ashita), and the bakery (Nekasenaide) were the best. I enjoyed the Pink Gold oneshot too. This one... I dunno, overall, I think it could have been done better.

Don't reread chapter 5. It's the prequel to another (un)finished story. 1-4.5 are fantastic, though, and I enjoy their characters and the story. Great for a reread. (6-6.5 part of Katappashi Kara Zenbu Koi, so already included there.)

Okay, so, the first one... I was annoyed with the seme. I didn't like how he manipulated things. I'm glad the other guy got what he wanted, but I really would have liked to see things go differently. The second story (last chapter as of 5/23) was much cuter. I liked to see the guy lose his cool and actually deal with the other guy's worries.

That was fun. The friends-to-lovers was great and I loved the way the yakuza one worked out. That third one, though. Tsundere. *sigh* I can deal with it, but it would have been nice if the boss had given up at least a little of that. This mangaka seems to like the tsundere types. not *bad* but take it in bits (don't binge-read their stuff).

Did not read the other story (4-5). First story (ch 1-3,6), though was just enough angst to make me hesitate, but really good. I liked them. I liked that he stopped instead of raping Natsuo and I liked that he figured it out and apologized. I understood Natsuo's side too. He loved Hiro and he was going to take the opportunity to try again, even if it meant getting hurts. Really sweet. 6 ch +extras
