ari's manga / #School Life(174)

"Arata and Shoutarou have always been close friends and even live nearby. Arata secretly takes pictures of Shoutarou to sell to the girls and eavesdrops on his confessions, pretending it doesn’t bother him. Shoutarou always rejects confessions, citing club activities, but what if this time he claims he already likes someone else?" Photography... such a delightful high school BL. I love the layer of uniqueness from the photography element, and the paneling/art is SO gorgeous.

"Souta and Mitsuki, childhood friends who've gotten along well since kindergarten, are now in their adolescent years. One day, Mitsuki comes to complain to Souta after hearing their classmate boast about losing his virginity. Reasoning that there's nobody else he can ask, Mitsuki suggests practice-kissing with Souta!"

"Friendly everyman Honda is just as scared of loner Kaidou's dyed blond hair, piercings and rumoured yakuza connections as the rest of their class, but he somehow ends up approaching the other boy at a children's live action event. They will soon discover that Kaidou's not as scary as he looks...and that Honda's not as all-loving as he believes himself to be."

"Issa often skips school to work at the Nagahama fish market, and the two friends hang out together near the ocean almost every day. When Nagisa suspects that Issa has a girlfriend, it turns his world upside down. Is Nagisa in love with his best friend? And could his best friend possibly love him back?" THE BEST!!!

"Aoki has unrequited feelings for the girl sitting next to him, Hashishita-san. That smile was like an angel’s, charming, clenching his heart every day. However, ended up seeing a male classmate, Ida’s name written on Hashishita-san’s eraser...?" EEK. What a fun, fun read!

Straight x gay... "Kikuchi is a laid-back, thickheaded, yet softhearted high school boy. He regularly hangs out with his close friend, Seto, at either of their houses after school. One day, after Kikuchi got aroused by porn, Seto suggests helping the other get off. Kikuchi gets hooked on Seto's—who's gay and is apparently used to these things—blowjob and offers to return the favor to show his gratitude (?). When Kikuchi thinks that Seto is hitting it off with a female classmate, he feels a pain in his chest for some reason...?" Bittersweet, kinda, but a good read.

"Enoki is practically the poster-boy for what a typical nerd looks like: short and slight, complete with big round glasses and social awkwardness. His main hobby is playing video games, and he's used to not having many friends at school. Then, he meets Shirataki, a former member of the baseball club and his exact opposite; tall, muscular and sporty. Despite their many differences, the spark of friendship between the two boys begins to grow into something more." Big height difference. Cute.

"Towa and Yamato are twins with very different personalities. Yamato is loud, outgoing, and regularly gets into fights, while Towa is quiet, studious, and always suffering the after effects of Yamato's actions because he's always being mistaken for his brother..."

"It’s not easy to find partners for omegas and alphas. Omega Akihiro’s family knows this, and so they also know how lucky they are to be able to arrange a marriage for him with Reiya. He’s an alpha, he lives nearby, he’s the same age as Akihiro, and he’s apparently a wonderful person. Although their arrangement is initially one that neither of the boys are interested in, feelings change once they see other sides of each other."

"In Spring of his junior high 2nd year, Saitou got in the same class as Suzuki. Receiving Saitou's help while being bullied in first year, Suzuki smiled shyly while thinking, "what if we became friends". Saitou is becoming more and more conscious about Suzuki and their relationship starts to change?!"
