takame's manga / #slice of life(352)

@2018 update: Getting picked up? I'm all up for it!. Longer so I can now properly review. UPDATED SYNOPSIS: (Himo. Shortened for himono. A man financially supported by a woman. More like "house husband" in English). Story started at recent time then rewind back to three months to retell how they got together. An ordinary man w/ ordinary life, MC never properly enjoyed youth nor romance and now he's too old and too busy for it. Suddenly he found himself getting carried away by this overstaying guest he picked up in the rain. But the warmth and the companionship the younger guy provided makes it hard for him to kick him out of the house. Until he realized his feelings have become more than comfortable. Since the beginning, this pair kept missing the timing for everything and now, they even mised the timing for confession too. (FYI: seme fell in love first, both didn't know each other's feelings). Watch the both of them misunderstand everything.

⟫ Ashita, Kare no Bed de >Nemurenai Koibito > Kusuriyubi ga Shitteru> Mou Kimi o Matanai. Ch. 1-3: A direct continuation of last vol. Sleeping beauty turned out to be a ravenous beast (and possesive too lol) while our pauper prince try to change his mindset and be confident. ⟫ Related: Kanashii Kotoba. || Ch. 4-5: Takashi's bff and his regrets. Found a kindred spirit in the person of satoshi and so the connection is made. Sort of like an after story of KK. I like this more than kana (the cousin)'s love story haha. (But first... where's the part where satoshi should suffer for what he's done do kana) A story of two lonely people moving on and being happy together. #physical relationship to love. cafe shop owner x college student. Happened two years after Kanashii Kotoba. || FINALLY! The whole series is getting picked up! Moving to my reads --------ɫ ⬧ ɫ-------- {satoshi's chronology} ⟫ Kanashii Kotoba > Nemurenai Koibito > Chizuka-san Ni Tsutaete > Itoshi no Doctor Coat.

So, so fluffy. And the pacing is just perfect. I like how the story shows the dad (seme) slowly falling inlove with the uke. {Edit: FINISHED@2018} #Reencountered after 10 yrs, Hitsuji didn't even realize that his student's dad is a former friend... and crush. And try as he might, it's hard not to fall inlove all over again w/ this charming man & his cute son. I love the dad's smile too. I think both father and son are adorable. Not hard to understand why the uke-MC loves them. #my only gripe is the occasional translation problem. other than that, it's perfect.

It's super refreshing to see such a pure (& adorably CLUMSY!) seme after a long whille. ILU. You are one of a kind. Straight seme x older, gay uke. #good pacing 2017 UPDATED SYNOPSIS: Gay office worker wanted to swear off dating straight guys yet there's this quite adorable young man from the cafe he frequent in who seem to "accidentally" fall on him every time. Is the boy interested? #actual gay uke. It really is rare to see a real one in bl. #nice decensoring job #mild romcom #more plot, sex at the end.

Ohh, it's getting hot in here, LOOK AT THAT SEXUAL TENSION! #manga editor x photographer. Manga editor was straight and did not knew that the other one is gay not to mention having a secret unrequited love for him! Before that, he can't explain why he can't take his eyes off the other man.

(The cover is like a blackhole that sucked me in. Those cute big eyes!) Everything about this manga is funny-cute, from the title down to the story itself. Slice of life. #college student x shop keeper. Unfortunately, no. it's not an Alice in wonderland remake. But it drew reference to it how this naive college boy steps in a sex toy shop that is aliean for him. Unfortunately? He kind of got attracted to the shop-owner (who had the features of a rabbit) despite the other guy being a man. #king's game (betting game with an "it") 2017-09-28 02:12 marked.

Dramedy #tenement neighbours story where men became gay for each other. 1st couple{Ch. 1-7.5} - haruto x izumi: practically robbed out of his entire fortune, newly moved-in haruto encountered this young college boy that is somewhat odd but seeing the boy's cute side spiralled him down the homo path of no return. yet it seems like weird-ass izumi did not get it. Salaryman, #kind, caring seme x weird bookworm, puppy uke. 2nd couple {ch.8-13} - jin x momo: Continuing from the last episode, momo was floored that the 1st pair got together. Funny thing is, everyone and jin thinks he and jin were going out... except for him. Friends for a decade since high school, momo kept on rejecting jin's aggressive advances #seme younger by two years, from rich family x #tsundere uke from ordinary family. http://nexus-scans.com/2017/09/13/comback-5-a-change-of-heart-no-kakurega/ [2017-09-22 06:34 marked] Just when you thought this manga will forever be in hiatus *jumps around* TYSM NEXUS! (bumped up the date for my rereading pleasure again LOL)

This is underrated bec of the "cheating" seme. If you concentrate on that, you'll miss the top-notch quality storytelling this manga had. Give it a chance. It has a certain realism to it, not the idealized, magnified KYA-KYA STEREOTYPICAL BL w/ tons of reviews. No, this manga gave life and breathed out two men's life story and their imperfections. I cannot describe it enough. #sex friends to love ~ reencounter. #sex friends #tutor x student #older seme #3 yrs age gap #young, unrequited love that mc (uke) let go only to #reencounter 12 yrs after. #art - At first glance, the art looked like the mature josei style and I appreciate this mangaka's foray to BL. Sawa is a private tutor of Nanao, a highschooler who does ballet. Popular & a player, Nanao never lacks girls. But one day, he got a taste of sensei & he just can't stop. It turned into more than that but it took them forever to realize the feelings of the other.

2018 Edit: FINISHED Apr. ️Ch. 1-5: So pretty & so cute. What a summer romance. Fuuka despite looking rich actually has family complications. So he thought of doing a summer job. Met this cheerful younger guy who is the owner's son. And as the days went by, they got closer. One day, maybe because of summer heat, younger guy's touches turned risque.... #older uke by 3 years, #adorable seme. Ch. 6-7: TBH I think two chapters is too short for this plot. It felt like everything was squished in. I belive that if the mangaka was allowed to make this a whole volume, it would have a better story flow. The seme just appeared as some asshat because of the hurried pacing. ➤3.5

Finished@2018. Ch. 1-3, 5.5: If you want a drama-free story then this is your read. It's a very relaxing slice of life more about the melancholic uke's introspection of being alone. Two gay men w/o any direction who are just starting in life, learned to value each other. .//. Ch. 4-5: OH MY LORD. IF IT ISNT A BALL OF FLUFFFNESS THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS. Two boys who have been friends since childhood always hang out together. One day, that peace is broken when Kan-chan displayed his possesive streak. Thing is, #timid and mousy Hiro got shocked by the unexpected confession so for the first time in their life, they seem to be not getting along? And lastly, sensei, please draw a little yuri shortie for glasses girl! I love her!
