sadslime's manga / #Pottery(2)

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

Ch.1 - The Circle - Tachikawa's biggest rival in the fighting club is Furuda, who refuses to join! But Tachikawa can't help wanting to get closer to Furuda anyway, even though Furuda seems unwilling to let him in. But when Furuda gets the impression Tachikawa has started dating another guy, suddenly it's Furuda's turn to chase after Tachikawa. Trigger warning: attempted rape. Ch.2 - The Box - After Andou's longtime love(Tachikawa, above) ended in heartbreak, he feels like moping around, but he doesn't have any time for it since now the very tall student Higa is following him everywhere and trying to date him.
