Joou to Shitateya
Well would ya look at that. Character growth and healthy communication my two favorite tropes lol. But seriously, I love that the seme starts out kinda bratty but genuinely makes an effort to change and express his feelings in a healthy way. Same with the uke, who's always been the perfect boyfriend but wont be taken care of himself. But now he's learned to let himself be spoiled just a bit. Is adorable. (*˘︶˘*).。.:*♡ so shoutout to that dark haired senpai at the seme's work. She was a boss. 8/10
Play After Call
Two high schoolers explore what it means to be a dom / sub pair. I like that they talk things out and they're careful. They always ask consent before doing anything new. I like this one! 8/10
Umeya-kun no Haru
8/10 i liked this one
Living With Him: Heating Up
Sweet afterstory oneshot from Living With Him! We get to see some sweet, loving sex >///<. I love these two!!
Tayutau Kohaku
Mellow kinda uke x the chill but responsible kinda seme? Uke has a rule of sex friends only, no romantic relationships and now hes falling for the seme. Its very cute in a gentle kind of way. Tbh I felt like the story could have been longer! I wanted to see more of them!! 7 or 8/10. It really did feel too short, which is kinda holding it back and the random side story was a distraction for me
Boku-tachi wa Mada Aoku
Strangers to supportive bfs both with an interest in aerospace (?) living their lives, taking exams, supporting each other. 6 or 7/10, just wasn't what I was into
Konomi ja Naka to
Absolutely adore this one. I love watching Yukinori struggle to get used to the job and make friends with all his coworkers. I love watching the increasingly protective Maki get attached to him and vice versa. And they communicate! Dude I love this one so much 8/10
Shinyuu no
Best friends since high school and lovers of photography, although Minato ends up pursuing a different career. After 5 years of living together, Minato leaves and Wataru is lonely. Then Minato returns and stubbornly asks Wataru to live together again. They both love each other, and they both know it, but Wataru is terrified of changing their relationship so he refuses Minato's proposal over and over Very sweet! 7/10 name on MAL is Countdown to Yes
Fruit, Gateau au Chocolat
Ahhhh I havent read something just simple and wholesome in a while. Two coworkers go out to eat every weekend, trying new foods and new restaurants together. At some point, the popular Shiina confesses and the shy and somewhat insecure Yoneko has to figure out if he likes him back. Despite being just one volume, the relationship was slow and realistic. 7/10
