sadslime's manga / #Office worker x student(3)

Fuuka's never had a boyfriend but after one bad experience, she gets drunk and spends the night at the bartender Rintarou's house. He's ten years younger, but she decides to shoot her shot by joining his grandma's pottery class. It's a decent story, and I'm not sure why it's not more highly rated, except maybe that it's aimed at adults but has no smut. I liked how her anxiety and hesitation in the relationship was depicted so accurately, and Rintarou kept me guessing along with her. My only complaint was that it fell into a common Shoujo trap where after everthing goes wrong, everyone has to tell off the FL so she can suddenly change and try harder, which I think is dumb and played. At least Rintarou got told off too. 4/5 decent romance, no trigger warnings

Momoki and Chikage are told they have to marry to keep calamity from striking the village, despite the fact that they're both boys. Momoki thinks it's only a ceremonial marriage, but when they're told to consummate the marriage, he quickly declares it impossible. Their parents insist on them living together until they do their duty, beginning their cohabitating life as newly weds who don't even know or like each other. But it turns out that Chikage has grown on Momoki, and for his part, Chikage liked Momoki from the start more than he let on. Sweet and silly boys, and I really liked Momoki's friend. No trigger warnings.
