Hanami's manga / #Medium Sexy Times(24)

Even though Mikuni Renji wants a serious love relationship, every guy he’s been with use him for pleasure and leave him. Sadistic florist, Ichinomiya Shinobu fell in love with him because he finds Renji interesting. The second story is about a student who fell in love with his unsociable classmate. And the last story revolves around the son of a Mama, Kei, who gets confessed to by his coworker and transvestite Seto Tadashi. The first story really had me hurting for Renji, and though at least he found someone who wanted him I still kind of feel bad for the teasing he goes through. The last story is cute, though Kei was an asshole at the beginning, I liked them together. Mama’s yaoi radar was working.

Haga Hajime is an unsociable hairdresser, who’s never really struggled with anything since his parents gave him all he ever wanted. As a result he doesn’t really know how to interact with the people around him. His first friend is Tatsuo Andou, a makeup artist who teaches him how to interact with other people. I really liked how their relationship progressed from friendship to love. Hajime is so child-like it’s endearing. The second volume focuses on Hajime’s brother Makoto. Having spent all his life living under his perfect brother’s shadow, Makoto developed a serious inferiority complex. So when his coworker Mizusawa Souta confesses to him and he accepts, he takes his first step towards happiness. Makoto really got the short end of the stick in life, everything he ever wanted was handed out to his brother. At least he found someone who acknowledges his faults but loved him regardless.

Tokura Ei is a forensic archaeologist who’s dealt with discrimination due to the fact that he’s gay. He struggles to keep his distance from his childhood friend and lover Kamiryou Gin, because he doesn’t want Gin to experience bigotry. This was a really intense manga. It was really interesting to have the topic of discrimination be front and center. While I get why Ei was hurting Gin, my heart still went out to both of them. I loved Gin’s perseverance, after all the stuff he did and put up with to get Ei, he seriously deserves a happy ending.

Mitsusawa Ryuuji hasn’t forgotten about his childhood friend and first love. A fated reunion occurs when Shitara Megumu becomes a part-time lecturer at Ryuuji’s college. This manga is one of those cases of Yaoi logic. Megumu doesn’t want Ryuuji to hate but he then proceeds to do things that might cause Ryuuji to hate him. They were a pair of idiots at the beginning and then became the cute idiot couple.

When university student Hinata finds out that his best friend Yuuma is in love, he tries to get a girlfriend so that he could have the experience necessary to help Yuuma get with his crush. The only problem is that Yuuma’s in love with Hinata. This was a cute story, Hinata was a bit dense but still cute. How could he have missed all those signals, and ever misinterpret the kissing and touching. Yuuma is one sexy bastard, I could relate to Hinata’s reluctance to have him stolen. Also I loved the conflict of interest and the bad advice as a result.

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.

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.

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.
