Ano Koi no Tsuzuki
After breaking his leg, Morioka Sei befriends a calligraphy professor, Akimune, who’s staying in the same hospital. Akimune decides to make Sei the inheritor of his considerable fortune. When meeting with Akimune to discuss the matter of the inheritance, Sei reunites with his senpai, and first love Sugiura Takaki. However, Sugiura doesn’t seem to remember Sei and acts coldly towards him. This was a cute manga, if a tad too cliché. I liked it a lot, mostly because Sei is so precious. He’s like a little puppy, you just want to cuddle him. Even though he’s so fluffy and delicate, I like that he went after his first love, even when he was treated badly. Sugiura went overboard with the whole ‘keeping the distance’ thing but he wasn’t unbearable or anything. I see where he’s coming from but still. I was okay with him and his indifferent attitude. The side characters were great though. I loved the lawyer, Tateishi, he was awesome. I wanted to see more of him. I would recommend this if you’re in the mood for adorable protagonists and a light story.

Sunao ni Narenai Otokotachi
Tenshi No Tamagoryouri (Main Story) Kekkon Dekinai Otokotachi (Prequel) (p.5-81; 216-223) Kashiwazaki Yuichi has never been lucky with the ladies. They always seem to dump him for his friend and coworker Suzuki Masami. What Kashiwazaki doesn’t know is that Suzuki seduces them so that they would leave him. Suzuki and Kashiwazaki were in the swim team together and since Kashiwazaki saved Suzuki from drowning he fell in love. It’s those ‘if I can’t have you, no one can’ situations. Kashiwazaki is the serious one of the pair, he’s kind of too serious, which annoys Suzuki. On the other hand Suziki is a bit lighter in mood, more of a joker. They’re both idiots in their respective ways. Suzuki for being such an ass to Kashiwazaki and to women in general. And Kashiwazaki for just randomly picking women just to get married. Also, Suzuki was kind of tsundere, he hates Kashiwazaki but he doesn’t. I was waiting for them to just stop being morons and talk to each other. However I liked them, they had a couple of funny moments and that extra at the end of the manga was good. Overall I enjoyed it. 4/5 (p.91-206) Sekiya Takashi is the assistant chef at Felino Felice with a massive case of xenophobia (fear of foreigners). One day Taki comes back from Europe with his friend Lucen “Luke” Montecarlo and they visit the restaurant. Luke takes an interest in Sekiya and begins to pursue Sekiya, much to his horror. The dashing Frenchman offers to help Sekiya with his alien phobia. This was a fun story, it’s definitively the more enjoyable of the two. Sekiya’s reactions to Luke were just plain hilarious. I loved how he saw him as an actual alien and a demon. I cracked up every time. There is a legitimate reason as to why he hates foreigners, and I felt really feel for him. Luke was a good character too. He was pushy but he helped Sekiya out a couple of times. Also when he found out why Sekiya hated foreigners, I liked that he took a step back and was more understanding. He was sweet and childish some times and I just really enjoyed his character. Taki is back and he still can’t cook for shit, he almost killed Eiji. Too bad he’s still single, I wanted him to get a man already! Sensei please give Taki some love. 5/5
