rainydays's manga / #Romance(155)

kotaro is an omega who is dating his son's daycare teacher, but feels inadequate about their relationship due to his past. i can see why this was confusing for some people, as the timeline jumps back and forth and characters reasoning are a bit ehh. there were scenes that made me super uncomfortable and were hard to get through. the baby was cute tho and i wish there was a seperate work focusing on kotaro's omega friend.

two alphas who are in an arranged marriage, trying to navigate their sexual dynamics as a same sex pair. feel like it had a lot of potential regarding the dynamics and premise, but it got a bit unnecessary and muddled without a clear plot. the baby was cute tho.

yuka finds out hes an omega and is claimed by his childhood friend kaoru. taiga only wants to bond with his fated pair, but rethinks his choices when he confronts his feelings for his omega roommate, rin. feel like this is a very realistic, I mostly enjoyed it . the first couple was cute while the second was harder to stomach, as taiga was extremely unlikable throughout. rin was my favorite character, i felt a lot of sympathy for him but am happy this is ultimately a happy ending. the sa was really hard to get through, though.

after an incident caused by a disobedient member of his group, nishida sets out to smooth things over with the rival gangs head, kuroda, and thus begins a mutually satisfactory relationship to keep the peace. considering how short this manga is, i think it was pretty well paced and had a simple and coherent plot. the childhood best friends plot was a bit cliche but worked out nicely. though i feel like the ending with both the yakuza leaders being okay with everything was too easy

shouta helps a foreigner, teppei is crushing on his coworker, and azuma gets jealous. i feel like one of the few people who didnt actually enjoy this. 1st story was incomprehensibly bad-- basically just an innocent man being raped in his home by the man he helped, then being taken to a completely foreign country where he knows nobody, and ofc the mfs name is josh. he fell in love with shouta in one day? eyeroll. 2nd story was cute though im not sure of the age diff (teppei in hs?)

honda, a gym trainer, cultivates an unrequited love for their new member, konno, who also has an unrequited love of his own. honestly, i found this one really cute and well-paced!! loved honda, he is an ultimate green flag and i think the misunderstanding plotline worked well here.

the daily lives of popular class president terano and his cute delinquent boyfriend, kumazaki. sigh, wish they were portrayed as adults but the story itself was just adorable, i love terano and kumazakis dynamic, and the side characters were really funny. its a light read, with a pretty art style and many amusing scenes. definitely yorikos best work so far.

deciding he doesnt want to live the rest of his life in fear oof death, gang member hyungwon runs away to hawaii and meets friendly sungjin, who turns out to be a cop. its a short read and wish there was more of it considering the cool premise, but i liked this! sungjin had a cute enthusiastic personality and contrasted well with hyungwon. the ending was pretty funny, yay to supportive gang leaders lmao.

after moving back to his hometown, shinokawa reconnects with his tsundere childhood crush kaede after 10 years. after a heady encounter, yoshida begins to grow feelings for his friend watanabe. i love this mangaka's affinity for possessive boyfriends, and shinokawa was certainly one of them. these two were just a stupid silly mess though-- one doesnt understand boundaries while the other refuses to express his interest. the second story is also cute, though i wish they actually became bfs.

couple yuka and kaoru have sex for the first time it cute thats all i gotta say, finally a yuri pwp where they both look like adults
