stressedpenguin's manga / #9/10(30)

HAHA yessss FINALLY a story that focuses on the kid! Too bad it's short. 10/10 adorableness. I want more about this kid, hes a riot. It's too short to really give a rating but eh fuck it. 9/10! And a 10/10 in my heart.

Bro they're adorable . I love relationships that have complicated emotional backstories. They've both been in love with each other for 10 years but the complicated feelings surrounding how they met and fell out made it hard for them, especially Toranosuke, to express their feelings. I love that by the end Tora figures out how to say wahst on his mind. There are so many little things about these two that are amazing. I love the whole thing with the rings. And also FINALLY a story that doesnt use rape, assault, or kidnapping ro create drama. The characters themselves have enough complicated feelings to make this an interesting story 9/10. Might be a 10/10 and not just cuz I'm a sucker for cool, gentle guys on motorcycles but the girls kinda sucked in this so I gotta think on it

This is possibly my absolute favorite manga. Very realistic, solid relationship building and character writing. this is almost a 10/10 for me. 9/10

So fluffyyyyyyyyy. Sweet, wholesome, healthy! They talk and research about sex together and I'm also weak to cats being cuddled! 9/10

last read ch 20. Really too bad this is shonen ai these two are so sexy honestly like a 9/10 i love these idiots

Bruhhhhhhh soooooo CUUUUUUTE. Honestly top tier seme. He just wants the uke to do smth he loves and explore his own hobbies. None of that isolationism and possessiveness. Uke learns that he doesnt have to be needed by anyone to be worth something. Pure and sweet. 9/10 I really like this one! name on MAL is Aisaretagari no Tsukushikata

This one's a super sweet. The characters are so well written, the story feels grounded and realistic. Their job is an actual part of the plot and the manga shows specifics about their work. THS SEME ACTUALLY STOPS AND ASKS WHAT'SWRONG WHEN THE UKE SAYS NO AND STOP DURING SEX. Very sweet. 9/10

Happy to see tomo-chan getting new love thanks to the anime

Guy happens to see a very skeletal looking salaryman on the shinkansen one day and cant stop observing him. By chance they start talking and bond over horse racing. It's a slow story. Everything is revealed through Tohru's internal thoughts and his conversations with his friends and with Makoto. These two create a safe space together. The story has a strong atmosphere and sense of direction. Makoto crying because he's so overwhelmed that Tohru would cry for his sake is incredibly touching. There's so much about this that I love; I just cant express it well. I was rooting for Makoto to quit his job but I'm actually happier that it seems his power harassing boss has actually improved. Rather than running away, i love the aubtle message that these situations CAN improve and that we should aim to improve them. It gives me a bit of hope. (But also I'm all for starving out companies that dont treat their employees right bc we cant all afford to play the long game.) 9/10. This is a masterfully crafted story.

Really hoping there's a second volume of this one. this was surprisingly really good 9/10
