Yane's manga / #adorable(182)

My rating: 10/10 This is such a beautiful story, it will always hold a special place in my heart. The themes are family, loss, dreams and the sacrifices you make to achieve them. The characters are complex and especially the seme has a character growth. Him coming from a special community of people who live like their ancestors lifts this to another level and allows the story to discuss the question "What is happiness?" RELIGION, BAR, PROSTITUTE An Amish boy (seme) living in America in the 1980s travels to a bar for Rumspringa, a traditional coming-of-age period for members of the Amish community where the adolescent leaves the enclosed religious community to take part in the outside world. There, Theo meets a waiter (uke) who abandoned his dream to be a dancer.

My rating: 8/10 It's the spinn-off of Katakoi × Alliance and it's super cute, I love it. The main characters are all lovable, there's not one annoying person here. It's just a wholesome read. The uke's adorable, kind and positive. The seme's more serious but actually a tease. COLLEGE, AGE GAP, FLUFF A college student (uke) asks an associate professor (seme) for love advice after hearing about him from his fellow students. They end up in an arrangement where the uke works as his part-timer and the seme supports him, but will this work like planned when the seme's actually gay?

My rating: 9/10 It's quite enjoyable, really funny too. It's written from the ML's pov. He's highly intelligent and devoid of emotions at first. The FL with her pure and energetic nature changes him, it's quite adorable n develops into an (harmless) obsession on his part. What makes this so wholesome is also the "found family" concept. They gradually gather friends around them who support each other. And I really like that here the seemingly senseless obsession of the men with og heroine in the og story is actually explained (and it's a rather unique reason). REINCARNATION, COMEDY Crown prince Cecil (ML) is so brilliant that everything in life is easy to the point of boring him. But during their first meeting, his fiancée Bertia (FL) suddenly proclaims that she's the villainess of an otome game and that she will do everything to fulfill her role and help him find happiness with the og heroine. Quite interesting ...

My rating: 7/10 It's a cute read, domestic and with two lovers who complement each other. The uke's popular and genuinely nice to everyone while the seme is more grumpy and able to turn people down. The girl who's into the uke's really creepy. But the ending's too rushed. COWORKERS, FRIENDS TO LOVERS The uke is troubled by the frequent advances made by a woman at the office and lies that he's in a relationship with his friend and colleague (seme). But in exchange for his help, the seme asks to hold him.

My rating: 7,5/10 I've read stories with a similar plot but this one is definitely one of the better sort, it's really adorable. This has the "opposites attract" element I like and they complement each other so well. The uke's serious, an introvert and cute, the seme's extroverted and easygoing. NEIGHBOURS, PLAYBOY SEME An office worker (uke) who hides the fact that he's gay ends up drinking with his new neighbour (seme). But then the seme notices his glances and they hook up. That's the start of their special relationship.

My rating: 7/10 I don't like that he SAs her at the beginning. But after that the story actually becomes really cute. His desire to be loved, his hidden scars make this more serious and interesting until the end. The FL's kind and perceptive, I really like her. ACTOR, REUNION One day, a comic artist reunites with her friend from high school who became a heartthrob actor. They decide to go drinking, but when he takes care of her after and sees her sleeping beside him, his feelings overflow. What didn't he tell her back then?

My rating: 8,5/10 I absolutely adore the FL with her positive attitude. She really never gives up, is naturally friendly and confident. The way she tries to charm the tsundere ML really got me invested, this never gets boring. But it doesn't feel complete, more like the end of a season. OFFICE ROMANCE, PLANTS Everything has been going downhill for Hana lately: her fiancee cheats on her, her plants die and then she gets molested on the train. Unexpectedly, a handsome man stands up for her. When they meet again during a marriage meeting, she starts to really want to date him. But although he helped her that time, he turns out to be rather cold and rejects her in a rude way?! She's gonna give up like that!

My rating: 7/10 This is for you if you like possessive older men. He has 2 sides: a forceful and dominant one and a goofy and sweet one. The FL has an actual personality, I love her. And the character development is great. BAR, OFFICE WORKER, POSSESSIVE ML Rika often goes to a bar to drink hoping to see the "man with the wristwatch" again who once comforted her when she was drunk. But instead, a goofy older man always teases her. One day, she gets so drunk that she falls asleep and he takes her home ...

My rating: 7/10 It's a cute collection of oneshots. I really enjoyed reading it, it's not too deep, more like ordinary little loves stories, but it's adorable and the art is pretty. There's a bit of smut. ONESHOTS, CUTE 1) hostess who wants to open her nail salon x rich young man 2) supermarket employee x new determined employee 3) Female president of a start up x older subordinate 4) Medical clerk x potter (reunion)

My rating: 7/10 Even though I dislike the art style I love the characters. The protagonists are both so oblivious it's adorable. The ML's a player with mommy issues and the FL's an introvert. The plot kept me on the edge of my seat. But the romanisation of r4pe isn't it. There are so many harmful and toxic things happening in here while the story keeps its "cute" vibe. And the ending is rushed. YAKUZA, MANGAKA, DEBT A mangaka gets an unexpected visit from a scary-looking yakuza. After carelessly becoming the guarantor for her friend's loan, she is told to settle his huge debt. The yakuza agrees to wait for the repayment if she sleeps with him. But he's surprisingly gentle.
