Hanami's manga / #Favorite Art(63)

The adorable love story between the workaholic Ichise Kazushi and aspiring chef Aiha Harutomo. Beautiful, just pure perfection. This manga is so freaking sweet you’ll get diabetes. I loved the relationship between them, and how they care and encourage each other.

This manga features four stories. The first one is about Go players Asanuma and Shiraki who fall in love with each other. My favorite of the stories. I loved their competitiveness. Shiraki’s mom needs a little bit of fashion advice, Asanuma keeps getting thwarted by the…interesting clothes she chooses for Shiraki. The second story is about convenience store clerk, Kanai and recently divorced Takatou. The third story follows a boy named Chiaki, he’s the new “wife” of the inugami. The last story is about a boy who goes to get prescription glasses and falls in love with the clerk.

Five stories that are completely cute. First story, Tsuda is forced by his twin sister to cover for at her job at a Maid Café. There he bumps into one of his classmates, Kaname. Kaname can’t tell girls apart but he takes and interest in Tsuda. The next story focuses on council president Kijima and vice president Kamida. Kamida and Kijima have feelings for each other but neither want to jeopardize their current relationship. The third story is about Aibo Shuu, a new secretary to the president of a company who’s afraid to lose his bento making job when the president gets married. The next story is about a director of a school who poses as the female nurse. In the last story Hirota’s sister leaves her daughter in his care. Since he has no idea about how to care for a child, Ogura stepped in to help him. I especially loved the love triangle in the last story, it was so adorable.

Okumura Ritsuto has the power to charm people to the point of obsession. When helping his cousin charm a client and ends up being stalked by the client. At that moment a mysterious man named Luka appears and tells Ritsuto to command the stalker to leave. Turns out Luka possesses the same ability as Ritsuto and they are destined partners. Some of the descendants of the Okumura family have the power to enchant others. This was really good, I wish it was longer! Warning: attempted gang rape.

A collection of oneshots. (1) Popular student Suwa fell in love with Fujisaki, an introverted classmate. (2) Uehara Daisuke receives a love letter from what he thinks is a girl. Instead the person who confessed to him was Aikawa Ruka, his male kohai. I really liked this story, mainly because of Ruka. I liked how he wanted to be friends first, and also how he has a combination of traditionally female pastimes (cooking and sewing), but also “masculine” hobbies like kendo. His room was adorable too. (3) Natsume Ryuuichi has a glasses fetish and has to choose between his otaku coworker (Kuze) and his younger friend (Aya). Battle of the ukes to see who gets the prize. I died after they jumped on him when Natsume was sick. (4) Businessman Kikuchi Yuuma spends all his time working but even so he still messes up. His ex, Haruto, decides to stay for a while with him. Haruto is the cutest things ever. (5) Coworkers Manabe Yoshi and Asano Yukata can’t seem to spend a day together due to work. Feeling disappointed, Asano teases a coworker to get a rise out of Manabe.

(1) Ooe Yuuki and Tomo are supposedly together but Tomo doesn’t really think of them as being in a relationship. He was nasty and dismissive of Yuuki’s feelings. I wanted to slap him with a shovel. Yuuki is an idiot for liking him. (2) Nonomiya Jyun is the manager of the basketball team and is dating Mizusawa Ikuto. Since Jyun is tired of being treated coldly by Ikuto he seeks comfort with the president. Ikuto (asshole #2) is cold and unnecessarily mean to Jyun. (3) After being apart for many years, friends Chiharu and Takuma reunite. This was probably the only decent story of the bunch. Chiharu and Takuma were adorable and overall it was a cute story. (4) Atsushi doesn’t have a regular job so he often crashes at Shigeo’s house. They have been friends since middle school and both had feelings for each other. After Shigeo says some hurtful things, Atsushi stays at a stranger’s house where he’s hurt. While I didn’t hate this story, I didn’t like it either. Yaoi logic: the guy you like is hurt and probably sexually assaulted, let’s assault him too but its okay because I love him.

Collection of steamy oneshots. (1) Student Uehara Yuuji falls in love with his math professor, Tatsukawa You, the only problem is that the professor hates people. After being rejected by the professor 31 times, Yuuji finally wins him over by becoming his dog. (2) Kurosawa is in love with his senpai Eizawa Shun but hasn’t confessed. One morning Shun wakes up as a guinea pig. It turns out senpai was also in love with him and Kurosawa’s guinea pig, Merumo, turned him into a guinea pig so that they could finally get together. That guinea pig was so cute! And this chapter was pretty funny. (3) Tsuruka Asato is the tutor to Misumi Ren and they both fell in love at first sight. The only problem is that they both want to be the seme. I loved how Ren was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, he was going for the kill. (4) Miyamoto Yuzuru is an actor with stage fright so his new manager, Atou Souichirou, has the perfect solution, sexually harassing him and tapping it. (5) Umina Makoto is a perverted loverboy who watches his beloved Mitsurugi Aoi senpai from the window of the chemistry room. To win over his senpai, Umina uses a prototype love potion given to him by the president of the chemistry club. This was my favorite chapter because Umina is so freaking hilarious, the things he said had me dying. (6) Kazuma is in love with his cousin and swim teacher Nogaki Kyousuke. (7) Houyama Riku fell in love with his friend Hoshino Seita. His other friend Shinosaki Eiru helps Riku get some action, and it ends up in a threesome. (8) Isayama Kyouya is in love with his older and married boss. Coworker Nakatsu Ginji caught Isayama in a delicate position and now he forces Isayama to be his toy. He’s actually in love with Isayama.

Hasegawa Yuuki was harassed at school because the other students thought he was an otaku. Since then he has an aversion to otakus. One day he saves a guy that was being mugged, and as a result he got beaten up. He woke up to see the boy in a compromising position. As fate would have it, they meet up again. Akiba Ayumu is a 30 year old otaku. Hasegawa gets shot with the love arrow and adorable hilarity ensues. I just about died at the erection tent and the creepy doll watching. In the second story Ichinose Haruki’s childhood friend Koinuma Genta returns from America. All is not well since Haru has a crush on Genta but doesn’t want him to know because he was sure Genta would hate him. Turns out that when you wack off with your windows unlocked you might run the risk of someone climbing in. And since the universe conspires against you, the object of your affection will walk in on you once you call out his name.

Jinnou Shirou loves rabbits, the only problem is that his stern expression scares the rabbits away. One day meets Kou, a rabbit café worker/struggling university student and Jinnou finally gets to pet a bunny. But Jinnou has taken an interest in Kou, who to Jinnou, resembles a rabbit. This is so adorable! I love how Jinnou is so serious and straightforward but likes cute rabbits. They’re a really cute couple. I felt the struggle of the last chapter, it’s not easy to control yourself when you have a cute, willing uke basically waiting to attack you.
