Glitter's manga / #childhood friends(63)

[Complete] The final few chapters were incredibly confusing. Partially because of the translation, because multiple times a sentence felt unrelated to the ones before it, but also because of the sudden plot rush at the end and what felt like a side story crammed into the last two chapters. Not licensed in English. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/81mdu5d/do-i-smell 1st: 12/9/22, 2nd: 12/11/23

Status gap, top pursues, childhood friends, age progression Summary premise doesn't make sense with the official translation. Just take it as "Wenran can very easily tell when Lu Jia is lying" Official on Bilibili, officials are here. Complete on Bilibili at chapter 76. Pacing drags on a bit about 2/3rds through, then in the last 8 chapters or so it's paced way too fast. 1st: 12/20/22 (didn't finish), 2nd: 2/28/23

Just fluff, seniors in high school. Official on Inkr, officials are here except chapters 0-2.

Status/wealth gap, obsessive top, top pursues, childhood friends, lost memories, re-encounter, boss x employee. Everyone here needs a psychiatrist. Official on Lezhin, official title is "Triggering Idle Desires." 1/8/23

Omega marked young, alpha pursues, a depressing futuristic world for alphas and omegas. Official title on Inkr: Dependency X Official title on Web Comics: When the Stars Align Officials are on Inkr and Web Comics. Web Comics has 2 more chapters than Inkr. This series is not complete, but is marked as complete, so looks like the author (a student) dropped it. Ending things at 54 (the marked end in Inkr) will give the closest feeling to a complete story (although sad). The officials aren't posted here, but are free with an Inkr membership. 1/18/23

For both seasons: Top pursues, childhood friends Season 1: chapters 1-30, the last 5 chapters escalate RAPIDLY. Season 2: 31-76. The first couple was kinda toxic in how things developed, but oh my god it got so much worse with the second "couple." Hard to follow, but interesting none the less. Bittersweet ending. Liking Raphael is a guilty pleasure. Official on Tapas, "Lover's Vain." These aren't the officials, I've purchased it all on Tapas. 1st: May 2022, 2nd: 3/14/23

Childhood friends, straight top. Summary: I thought my best friend would never love me back…but now we're newlyweds?! A straight man and his friend with hidden feelings start their newlywed(?) life! Licensed on Coolmic, "Friends, Engaged." These are the officials. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/i4oxczh/tomodachi-engage 1st: 3/26/23, 2nd: 5/20/23, 3rd: 11/25/23

It's okay. Bothered by the infantization of the bottom and how he's a total wuss, as is a common trope. The attempted non-con also very uncool, but at least it didn't go that far. Official on Coolmic and Inkr [mature], "If I Can Have Sex Once with Akira Naruse... I Can Die." Officials here after chapter 5 (numbers don't line up with the official chapter releases in English, since both sites cut them up into many chapters each). The unofficial translations are solid, though. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/jsx5fle/naruse-akira-to-ikkai-yaretara-ore-wa-mou-shindemo-ii 1st: December(?) 2022

There's non-con but non-violent. This is just pure Stockholm Syndrome. Dropped at chapter 8, surprised I made it that far. Official on Renta. Officials are here. 4/15/23

Best friends-- boundaries? What boundaries? Official on Renta, officials are here. 4/16/23
