ArtemisFowl's manga / #realistic(28)

I agree with the last two comments about this manga. The level of clarity the uke has about how psycho the seme is is fantastic (because the character has clarity, not because he’s the uke), and his way of getting under the seme’s skin was perfect because of his perfect analysis. I really thought the seme was going to lock the uke inside his house. Unfortunately, can’t say that’s never happened in a yaoi manga. ~Chapter 5

Kid who has a lot of talent, a high school student "leveling up" through life, suddenly wakes up to the sound of his fellow classmate's art. He's always known that he's going to get a good government job, study hard and play it safe the way his mom wants him to, but that was before his eyes were turned to art. It made him feel alive for the first time, and although he had tried to suppress the feeling based on practicalities, he decides through the middle of high school to aim for an art school. This is his story. Lots of drawings, great character development, art galore, and practical techniques, this manga is almost a life-lesson and an art class wrapped in one.

Daniel, by virtue of running into and identifying superheroes/villains, gets roped into being a facial identifier for an agency that tracks superheroes/villains. One day while selling an old phone, he meets a man and later is contacted by him to buy the phone's charger. Those two interactions set off a flurry of casual conversations, hanging out, relaxing with new friends...until for Daniel, it suddenly no longer becomes 'just friends.' He ends up getting a crush on Wyatt, the man he met through selling his old phone, and tries to avoid him. This is the lead-up to the culmination of their relationship, which is marriage, despite the fact that his 'just friends' Wyatt was, in the past, secretly a supervillain (and turns him down the first time Daniel confessed, before Daniel knew Wyatt was a supervillain). Well-written, an interesting plot with cute characters. I'm looking forward to the rest. ~Chapter 2

Daniel is the crown prince of Kingdom Llewylyn. He finds a street urchin one day, only to find out that this person has his face. It takes two years, but the street urchin becomes his double -- a man who he's named Rael, because the man didn't have a name before. He came from another world (hence Isekai) and was grateful he was picked up by the prince. One day, the Silver Lion, Leonhardt, visits the Kingdom of Llewlyn. Suddenly, he notices his heart beating madly out of his chest when he meets the prince (more accurately, Rael, the prince's double). He starts to follow the prince and leaves the conversation at the end of the night feeling a passionate love towards the prince. He goes to bed, and continues this behavior for the following months of his stay (but not before Daniel switches with Rael for the duration of the stay, which causes the King to stop having heart palpitations like he used to with Rael). After the several months' long stay, the King has a crazy (power-based) proposal -- have the Kingdom Llewyln gain exclusive trading rights for furs for ten years in exchange for a night with the Prince. The king of Llewyln offers the choice to the 'Prince' and (based on the beforehand deliberation of the proposal with Daniel) Rael agrees to the negotiation. Rael has three nights with the Silver Lion (which is technically not what they had agreed on before), to which the Silver Lion says he'll stay away from Daniel and that he's sorry. He doesn't come back to Llewylyn returning on his tour (which is how he met the prince), and Daniel thinks that will be the end of that. However, a year later, an incident/problem changes that (which was the end of the fourth chapter). What has changed, and what circumstances will they meet under? Let's find out... ~Chapter 4

A boy with social anxiety falls for the boy who knows him as 'god.' Two very different people with a prior connection end up having a bond and confessing to each other. One is a good-looking and smart kid, while the other doesn't have many friends for fear of 'messing up.' The socially anxious kid lives on a farm and his grandfather owns a mountain, a place he sees as a refuge from his anxiety. He warms up to this touchy-feely outgoing kid, and love blooms. A coming-to-terms romance story dealing with the anxieties of growing up. ~ Chapter 5

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

A cameraman at a wedding crashes into (literally) a guy with a cute smile and a cold presence. Next thing you know, he's asking the random stranger if he can take his picture, to which the guy surprisingly agrees. As they get to know each other more, they hang outside of strictly 'taking pictures' and end up with the tiny beginnings of a budding romance. ~ Chapter 5
