Kamatte Kawaii Hito

Complete | sagami waka | 2010 released

Natsumi Hayato has a cat phobia and to overcome it (and to score with the ladies) he visits a cat cafe. There he meets Odagiri Hikaru, a member of the staff and a cat lover, and of course they get off on the wrong foot. An odd pairing considering their inclinations towards cats, nonetheless this was a fun and cute story. Side note: That cat was so freaking adorable!

Kirakira no Hibi

Complete | SAGAMI Waka | 2000 released

An adorable story about the relationship between Naruse Nanami and the aloof surfer, Akiba Shuu. This was just fluffy and fun overall. Shuu’s poker face, especially when he’s supposed to be happy, was hilarious and Nanami was so adorable. Ayumi at the end killed me with that comment. The last two chapters are the manga Kamatte Kawaii Hito, it’s about a man who goes to a cat café to get over his fear of cats and meets a staff member who loves cats.

M no Retsujou

Complete | HYUUGA Seiryou | 2010 released

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.

Megane Goshi no Sora wa...

Complete | tennouji mio | 2000 released

This manga includes four stories. The first story follows Azuma Shirou. Azuma has a glasses fetish and for some reason his eyes seem to follow Sorachi Satoshi. This story was so adorable! Sorachi is the cutest damn thing ever. He’s so squishable! I loved how both were so insecure and jealous, it was endearing. The second story follows Minami Kazuhiko as he always seems to stumble upon Sawai being confessed to. He and Sawai have a sexual relationship, which the adorably dense Minami interprets as just Sawai killing time before he gets a girl. Of course his assumption is completely off. The third story is about detective Saegusa Noritaka, who developed a crush on the café worker Nanase Ikumi. And finally, the last story is about Saegusa’s assistant Kirishima. Kirishima has had a crush on his neighbor for eight years. When Shirai Tetsuji is leaving for college, they are unwilling to let go of each other. This manga’s sequel is Wild Darling.

Wild Darling

Complete | tennouji mio | 2008 released

Sequel to Megane Goshi No Sora Wa… Sugisaki Mitsuru wants to experience being in love. As fate would have it, he fell in love with the captain of the judo club, Sorachi Ryuuji. After confessing his feelings their relationship stayed in a limbo for two years until, after a lot of heartache, they became a couple. I have to say Sugisaki is one of the best semes ever. He’s persistent with his feeling, but he also takes into consideration his senpai’s feelings. I loved how their relationship progressed and how Sugisaki waited until Ryuuji was ready. Their doubts and insecurities were expected, but all in all I loved them as a couple. Plus I got more Satoshi.

Koi no Shizuku

Cannot Kiss for 24 Hours

Complete | UMEZAWA Hana | 2000 released

Delinquent Kikusui Kiyouya changed his ways after falling in love with his math teacher Erimoto Hijii. Suddenly Erimoto wants to break up with Kikusui, so to prove that what he’s felling for Erimoto isn’t just lust he makes a deal that they won’t touch for a month. I intensely despised this story mainly because of the uke. Erimoto is the most spineless, wishy washy uke ever! Kikusui stopped getting into fights and started taking his studies seriously because Erimoto was the only person to give a damn about him, yet Erimoto kept hurting him. I irritated with his character. In the second story Fujisawa Yuu moves from Tokyo to a small village. There he meets Nanatsuki Haruki, a guy who will sleep with anyone but only in school. This story was way better than the first one. I liked that Yuu wanted to build a relationship with Haruki.

Junketsu Drop

Complete | watarumi naho, KISARAGI Manami | 2011 released

Head of the culture department Kasukabe and the head of the sports department, Misato Yuuji are like cats and dogs. One day Kasukabe helps Misato hide from his fangirls and they begin a physical relationship. I loved the fact that they despised each other in the beginning and then slowly fell in love. Plus the virgin taunting the other virgin for being a virgin was hilarious. They were both lovable, adorable idiots.
