Hanami's manga / #Fluffy Uke(16)

A collection of oneshots. (1) Kouta’s family borrowed a large sum of money and left him the debt. Sonomura Takahisa, his senpai, get him a part-time job as a gay AV actor. After the first one became a success they continued making videos. Senpai was clever using the AV excuse to sleep with him, but at the same time he never forced him. I liked him for being respectful. (2) Masaomi is the new president of a love hotel after his father left with his lover on a vacation. Tsushima, the hotel manager, has him try out various products so he that Masaomi knows the kind of things people do at love hotels. Another clever seme, using the excuse of showing the products to have sex with Masaomi. (3) Mimatsu Keizou’s family owns a liquor store. One day while delivering he picks up a student, Higuchi Yuuma. He has several fantasies regarding Higuchi and eventually those fantasies get fulfilled. Meh. (4) Sex club owner Miyatsuki seems to be interested in the new worker Aomura Jyunta. Turns out Jyunta helped boss when he was younger. Jyunta was way too innocent and cute. (5) Nagaoka wants to become the assistant of his favorite mangaka Chigaya Senri. Sensei is looking for someone to succeed him as he’s not inspired to draw anymore. This one was probably the funniest just because of the training regimen for becoming a mangaka. (6) Isawa goes to a hot spring and becomes interested in young part-timer Mashita Shitsuki. My least favorite of the bunch, it just wasn’t my cup of tea. (7) Kousuke is in love with his friend Sonokawa Yukihi. He wanted to confess during the graduation trip but chickened out. During the hot springs trip Kousuke gets his chance to confess and go further with Yukihi. I liked at the end how lovey dovey they were.

Tsumori Ei was dumped by his boyfriend on Christmas Eve. He discovered a young man, Nakama Junpei, sitting out in the cold with a cat. A wonderful story with heartbreak, painful pasts, misunderstandings and all of the mess that comes with falling in love. This manga was just beautiful and realistic. It was funny, cute and heartbreaking. I loved all the characters and their complicated relationships. The only thing that was missing was a conclusion to Sagan and Kittaka. Other than that it was pure perfection.

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.
