Kiko's manga / #Family(9)

I totally love stories with societal taboos! Step-brother loves brother in his adopted family. This kind've love seems so natural b/c we ask kids to love each other when not biologically related but still "in a family" but then frown when that love is not familial but romantic! Will try to buy book.

**ANYTHING** by Upi is on my list of *love it*!! This is a short but very sweet story of younger ML confessing and waiting for older ML to reciprocate. Love the style of the B&W drawings and the subtle changes in solid lines to almost shadowed lines.

Happy ending that was long in coming. Enjoyed it once the ML became less domineering and fell in love.

A fun and no angst office romance with childhood backstory of one-sided crush comes of age. I loved the twin youngsters who are the ML's family and how the 2ndML simply accepted them - just like IRL where you simply make family part of your dating/courtship!

Man, I don't know what it is about sport themed yaoi but I'm hooked! This was great - love the perfect ice skater and swimmer bods, too. Lovely story about friends with benefits eventually becoming a family.

A little taboo and somewhat risque... love between a father figure (by relationship only - not blood) and his "son" in a gangster environment. I'm actually liking it a lot b/c it is so off-the-beaten-path. We shall see...

Although I think some of it was lost in translation, I really enjoyed this story of their developing love and the retelling of the Joseph Dynasty version of the prince and his ill-fated love. The flash back happening when the current alpha is unconscious was a nice way to take the time to tell the whole back story. I shed some tears when the Omega figured out that the dragon that was visiting in his dreams was actually his 3rd pregnancy and the unborn child that was never born b/c he was killed by the prince in the JD era. I loved the epilogue of the grown children loving each other and their loving and caring family.
