Hanami's manga / #Cuteness Overload(38)

One rainy day, novelist Sakaguchi picks up his neighbor Kazuya and his black kitten. Since Kazuya’s mother is allergic to cats Sakaguchi offers to take care of it. Kazuya began to visit him every day to see the kitten but also to spend time with Sakaguchi. I loved this. I like shy and introverted characters, and Kazuya was just so sweet. His innocence caused some funny moments. I also liked how Sakaguchi understood him.

Stories that involve the owner and patrons of the bakery. (1) High school student Mitani Kento loves Watari’s pastries to he visits the bakery every day with his best friend Sakurai Hiro. When Hiro gets a job at the bakery to pay for his crush’s birthday present, Kento begins to feel lonely because Hiro doesn’t have time for him, and jealous of his crush. Kento is so cute and funny, I love all his expressions, especially when he’s eating. Hiro seems like the cool, quiet type at the beginning but he’s really a dork. Their relationship is so healthy and just plain adorable, they were hilarious as a couple. It was really nice how they asked an adult about how to not hurt each other. And the mood during sex was really good, it was awkwardly hilarious, and I liked how they helped and encouraged each other through the experience. (2) Shy and insecure Sasayama gets assigned to sales and marketing under Hanasaki. He fell in love with him but he’s too afraid of confessing. They visit Watari’s bakery every day and Watari becomes Sasayama’s confidant. Sasayama is adorable, I want to pinch his cheeks. Hanasaki is caring and attentive to his subordinates but surprisingly jealous and super dense. I loved how lovey-dovey they were. Also, I liked how Watari messed with Hanasaki’s sandwich. (3) Finally it’s fairy gaymother’s turn for romance. After getting all the ships together Watari needs a man too. After waiting for 6 years Watari Natsuo’s lover and childhood friend Kyougo returned. Kyougo lives with Watari and works at the bakery. Their story is more about getting their relationship back on track. Watari is the perfect man (excluding that part where he forced himself on Kyougo when they were teenagers). He genuinely feels bad for forcing him so afterwards even though he wants Kyougo to stay he doesn’t want to force him. He’s sensitive, caring, and he can bake. Kyougo was childish and hurt himself and others unnecessarily. Though I kind of feel bad for him, he’s lost without a goal or a dream to achieve and he feels inferior to Watari, who knows what he wants and works hard every day. I’m happy all of them were able to find happiness.

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.

President Iwase is the cutest thing ever! I wanna give him a hug.
