ari's manga / #MY BELOVED(23)

"College roommates Aki and Haru navigate life's challenges through the simple joy of cooking, sharing seasonal dishes and heartwarming moments with friends as they bond over affordable homemade meals." PERFECT comforting slice of life. THEY CHERISH EACH OTHER SO MUCH (even though the confession takes time). Perfect example of how love doesn't need a label, but can simply undeniably exist between two people in what they do for each other.

"High school sweethearts who eloped, Kusaka and Mikuriya face a crisis 15 years later when Kusaka wants to break up, prompting Mikuriya to confront a long-hidden secret." SOOO GOOOD. What a refreshing and lovely long-term relationship. They love each other so, so much.

"The first year of high school: Spring Mori, who has just entered school, learns of his classmate, Michioto, who is rumored to be the "treasure of the boys' school." Mori volunteered to ask for Michioto's contact information on behalf of a friend who was too scared to talk to him. Mori headed towards Michioto without really thinking about it, but the moment Mori sees him, it's love at first sight." "All I know is I wanna marry him"... PERIOD! Such a precious love at first sight school setting with beautiful art. It's very much BL distilled into it's purest essence, simplified into the most simple components, but then that directs your attention to the deliberate little details that just give the story so much life and really make the little joys of young love the focus of the story.
