Sugar Dog Life
The development of their relationship was fantastic! College student Isumi, who looks like a middle-schooler, gets intercepted by policeman Amasawa, who asks for his ID after seeing a "middle-schooler" drunk and on his way home in the middle of night. They end up having more to do with each other after Mr. Policeman comes to Isumi's place of work, a convenience store, and asks him for recommendations. This kid happens to be a good cook and they mutually decide to have Isumi cook at Amasawa's house. Isumi's place ends up having a water main breakdown, and Amasawa, after hearing the call, asks him to stay at his house. Isumi already feels the pull of attraction towards Amasawa -- and the bond of their friendship strengthens after that. It was so nice to see that the uke was understanding of his attraction towards the seme, that the seme was confused (but also reflective) about his feelings when he was confessed to, and that the development of their relationship wasn't forced. It felt seamless and natural, organic in the way many yaoi relationships often are not. They both communicated with each other, and when there was a point that most yaois would have the characters jump straight into bed (sexually -- read chapter 3), I thought they would too, only for me to be pleasantly surprised that it was platonic. Also, the extras in the other chapters are cute.
Shokuinshitsu no Himegoto
Gym and math teacher are going head to head, and heart to heart (gym teacher is def in love with the math teacher, but the math teacher sees the gym teacher as a natural enemy). Although there is a little bit of crossing the line (kissing without permission), there is a point where both the characters address it. Great communication and cute storyline...I'm looking forward to more. ~Chapter 5.5
Zanzou Slow Motion
Two film nerds in the same high school club fall for each other after fighting for a year. Funny, realistic, full of good humor, this manga is exactly the pick-me-up you need when you want to fall into something that doesn't tout itself as "true romance" or sap. The story of two boys figuring themselves out and figuring each other out before falling in love. ~ Chapter 7
Futago de Koi wa Dekinai
Super cute! ~Chapter 1
Kedamono Kyouchou-chuu ni Tsuki
Wow! I was not expecting the level of communication here. Way to go for a couple that can actually deal with its problems by having a normal conversation with each other. I also disagree with one of the commenters; I actually think that the pacing is spot on. The time they pass with each other and the development of their relationship is enough for both of them to warrant a confession from each other. ~ Chapter 7
