A manga about a man who lost his girlfriend in an accident and another man who got possessed by her ghost. Very sweet and touching. Trigger warning: possible suicide attempt

Loss Time ni Hanamuke o

Ongoing | Cocomi | 2022 released

Tsukushi has finally had enough of his live in boyfriend Toui and he leaves, but cutting ties is harder than he thought. As he reminisces about what went wrong in their relationship, he can’t seem to put Toui behind him, and Toui isn’t ready to give up at all. The depiction of the frustration and heartache of a breakup was really well done and got me right in the heart, and it has a fluffy and sweet ending. Easily a new favorite. Trigger warnings: drunk sex.

I Want to Feel You Because I Like You

Ono is a dentist being haunted by a ghost (Masaki). But this sweet and childlike ghost just wants to be with his beloved sensei and help him overcome his recent loss. I’ll be honest, this is an amazing and beautiful story, but the “twist” is hard to swallow. I don’t blame any of the characters, but…it’s all very uncomfortable. Still, I really do think it’s worth the read because the characters and emotions are so well done and Masaki is such a pure sweetheart. Trigger warnings: I don’t know what to say?? Read at your own risk!

My Childhood Friend Was a God

Complete | Ruru (menten watagashi) | 2019 released

In Tarou's village, once every 50 years a god is born as a human and grows up among them for 18 years. This time, that god is his childhood friend Tomoya, and while everyone else treats him with reverence and fear, Tarou sees Tomoya as simply his friend. But the day when Tomoya will have to leave is fast approaching, and Tarou isn't sure how he'll be able to on once his childhood friend is gone or how to express his feelings before Tomoya leaves. Very bittersweet and well done. No trigger warnings.
