Unripened Expression

Complete | Aga | 2016 released

Everything about this is beautiful, relatable and true. I've laught a lot and sympathize with the main character all along but at the same time I love the other characters as well. The one-sided love that confess wishing to be liked back, the coward and secret crush, the friend that is there but don't know how to be more supportive. Everything about this story is lovely, real and relatable. 01/09/19: Ok, after reading the whole thing in one go, I just have to say that this is the first time that I really wish the protagonist doesn't end with his crush. Man! I'm heart broken!! How I wish there would be a second season or a story with their life as adults or something like that just to show me that he did choose right and that the other ones are happy as well.

Karasugaoka Don't be shy!!

Complete | Yuukura aki | 2018 released

Just re-read the whole thing and God!! I'd already forgotten that this manga gave me soo many heart troubling moments. It's really good, despite the fact that it doesn't have sex scenes or anything hardcore. It's super sweet and relatable due to the fact that Sou is really shy and just blurt out whatever out of nervousness.

Shun, a gay, promiscuous, business man, goes to work with a vibrator in his ass and unable to bear the pleasure any longer, he goes to the bathroom to relieve himself and there he meets with Ichinose, his boss and the person he hates the most. After blurting out that he has a vibrator inside, Ichinose offers his help and they end up having sex at a bathroom stall. After that, Ichinose offers to help Shun with his sexual needs until he finds himself a lover that actually loves him and this would lead to a close relationship between them. I liked it. It's kind of funny how Shun wanted to be manipulative and all just to fail. And Ichinose being all out going about Shun and his feelings... Priceless.

When they had an argument in the library Kawase start to notice his classmate discovering that he is, in fact, giving his best, finding difficult to take his eyes out of him out of concern, meanwhile Kurihara is giving his best just because he's trying to live on his parents expectations. I love this story. Super fluffy and heartwarming. They relationship doesn't feel forced at all and Kawase sisters are the best.
