Life Senjou no Bokura
The story about Nishi Yuuki and Ito Akira from teen years to retirement years. How they met, fell in love and all that cute romance shit. WARNING: Be aware of heartbreak and changes of life tho :3. Beautiful and simple yet realist, so is life. There's a beginning and there's an end. This story has such a great storyline it deserves to be written about more so here I gooo!!! And I will separate the live-action from it cuz... The live-action got like 4 episode. But it was still very great and well done!! Let just separate the two different form/version of this beautiful story okok?? Firstly first, I love how the main character met at the beginning, is cute and sweet. Because that is so teenager loves UwU and it took some times for the characters to realize that they're falling in love with each other. I do enjoy a good "love at first sight" story but I'm contented that this is not the case for them. Nishi Yuuki is an adorable mf, man I love his innocent and pure soul ("Child-like" how the author describes him but for me he was a beautiful and kind soul). Ito Akira on the other hand...a real Mf frfr, he's selfish, self-centred and inconsiderate. But deep down I do understand he's a decision completely and knowing how he was thinking and feeling just naturally leads to understanding him and even felt sympathy for him (Hmm he kinda cheated tho... (´。_。`)... Well can't forgive him for that). Related to the previous point I felt like Yuuki couldn't give Akira the "normal life" that he wanted so badly and the reason to that is because he's parents were giving him a lot of pressure. --> Striving to not disappoint them and doing better than his sister. (Was this even in the manga??? LOL I'm mixing shit now man.) Other things like seeing a mother with a child, for example, got him thinking about his situation. Aaand the woman who confessed was like an option or an opportunity for Akira to finally live a "normal" life, as the majority of the people around him (at the workplace for example). I disagree on getting back with someone who broke our heart to millions of pieces but this one, this one, I give in for it. They are soulmate and we can't deny it UwU. And they even got married?? Or at least Yuuki went from Nishi to Ito in last name~~~ I ADORABLE the drawing so much, the mangaka I should call drew really cute *Chef's kiss mwah" and that their age was showing, making it easier to follow ^_^. I love how fate/destiny did somehow play a big part in the story. (Reveals at the end) How their mother meets at the hospital when having check-up hehe the "--Before birth" Ooooh T^T. It was a sweet moment right after finishing the heartbreaking moment. And when Akira calls Yuuki a specialist of life, maa heart. Akira is an overthinker just like his mother lol. (CH6 ending) *More about the ending that I love so much, the subject of death. Cause one day or another if not break up then death will do us apart. Even though losing someone is a sad and a terrible event in life I still like how the author showed us "the life after losing someone we hold dearly". Because even without our love ones we still have to live on and keep on fighting for ourselves and the one that is still here with us in the presence. (Speaking from personally story lol). (CH5 ending) Buuuut it wasn't a saaad ending where Akira die left Yuuki miserable. No No, my baby was still shining tills the last moment. When Yuuki open his eyes, get out of the bed, open the door and started to run on the white line that led him to Akira, who was waiting for him. Hugging each other and turned to an aeroplane. It symbols a lot, you know a painting tells more than a thousand words. Oh, my heart, it simple yet beautiful. Yet tears were rolling down. ~T^T~ ~TOGETHER IN JOY AND SORROW~
Restart wa Tadaima no Ato de
Travelling back home from Tokyo to the countryside after getting fired and meeting his soon to be lover :3 Honestly I didn't enjoy this manga right away but after reading pass chapter 2-3 I started to like it. The story is not "woooow amazing, sugoiiii" but it was more like a "Mmmmm fluff, wholesome and slowly". Which is something that we all need from time to time. And it's actually relatable on some level. Not all love can start with just meeting eyes, because it sure takes more than that in reality. I also like the interaction that they (main couple) had with other characters in the story ... It's naturally and seem real?? IDK how to describe it but like people in real would somehow talk that way. Personally one of many reasons why it a great story is because I enjoy story that plays out in the countryside. Having seen so many setting in school and university can be plain sometimes. So it is a fresh and quite "unique" setting. "Unique" because I've seen other countryside but not many. Plus this manga is getting a live-action. (❁´◡`❁) UwU Very happy and I'll be waiting to see my lovely boys in 3D (*^_^*)
Smells Like Green Spirit
Story about friendship that blossoms from sharing a common interest. (From bully him to forming a genuinely and beautifully friendship with him.) About being your true self, accepting yourself and yours love one. Sadly, in the end, not everybody can truly be themselves. Pressure and expectation from the surrounding does really destroys one's path of being a true self. One day you'll find Shangri-La and happiness The drawing of this manga is giving off a dark and tragic feelings while reading, even when there were a happy/funny scene. But this is actually why I enjoyed it and it is beautifully done. Great art. I cry like a baby reading this (┬┬﹏┬┬)

Faded First Love
Plot: Aoki has unrequited feeling for Hashimoto, a girl sitting next to him and despite unable to confess his feeling, he admires her every day. However, one day while in class he needed an eraser, and she happily lent him her erase. Upon inspection Aoki notice that “Ida” was written on the eraser, the name of the boy sitting in front of him. The thought that she liked someone else crushed him and he was so flustered and accidently drops the eraser. – And guess who the fuck picked it up, Ida!!!1 Ofc otherwise we wouldn’t been here! Ida notices his name on the eraser and handed it back. Suddenly Ida is convinced that Aoki has feelings for him… Duh duh duh… And Aoki has no idea what to do next. Random thoughts: First, I would like to mention that I’ve read this manga back in 2021 when only a few chapters were translated and while waiting for new chapters I went on with life. Tills they made the Japanese live action version… And I watched it and love it and remember that I should probably continuing reading the manga… But still not all the chapters were out yet and then bam! They’re making a Thai version of the story, so I read it from chapter 1 till the end. Some of the moments I did remember like the scene where Aoki and Ida hold hands for the first time on the crossover bridge. – Vol 5 chaps 18 (And Aoki’s tutor discover him :p). It was a cute scene so of cause I remembered that, Hihi. Plot Progression Rating: The plot… I mean took them fucking vol 6 chap 24 to fucking have a first kiss, do I have to say anything more? And at that point they were already dating for half a year…Also they kissed at the end of that chapter… High school students be horny af, they be fucking before even dating… Just kidding, joke a side I love how well the plot is executed, it’s pacing and flows well. After all it is a Shounen ai and not your typical Yaoi. Other than that, I also really like the side-characters they’re the supporters and MVP our main character need. This is a story about High schooler so most of the time the story does takes place in school… You know. And your typical Japanese school events, such as sport event, festival event, camping event you name it… One thing though… At Vol 9 chapter 33 till 34… That shit played me, I was gaged, destroyed, annihilated, demolished and eradicated. Man, the author really played us all like the foo we are, she or he toyed with us, our emotional like it was some kind of trash. Character Development/Likability Rating: I FUCKING LOVE IDA. He can do anything, ANYTHING and I will defend him with everything I have, my man can never do no wrong. He’s such a caring, kind, and thoughtful character. First and foremost, he didn’t make fun of Aoki for having a crush on him (like ha-ha you gay bro?), even though it was a misunderstanding and even before he knew it, he took the feeling Aoki had for him very seriously and that he didn’t want to ignore Aoki’s feelings. My man was going crazy thinking someone is in love with him and how he should response to that, the fact that he never wants to do any half-hearted. *Eye heart*. For Aoki, my man he’s the MVP I love this cute little dude. He wanted to protect Hashimoto so bad, and despite Hashimoto is his crush he still wanted to cheer her on with Ida. (Before he realizes the mix-up.). Aoki was sad that his crush got along with her crush still he wasn’t going to tell anyone about the eraser. Cause he ain’t no snitch bitch! We all need a friend like Aoki to protect our secret with all his might.
