Hanami's manga / #School Life(31)

Mizuochi Tasuku is violent towards his childhood friend Oono Ryouta to cover the fact that he has a crush on him. One day a pair of idols tell Tasuku that he is the son of the Goddess of Luck and however he sleeps with will get good luck. Could his "power" get Ryouta to fall in love with him? This is a cute story, I enjoyed watching them come to terms with their feelings and insecurities. Katsuyama was an awesome friend, I loved how he played psychologist to those idiots.

Igarashi Masami had a crush on his friend Tatsuki Shirou for a long time. Constantly hovering over Shirou, Masami felt he had to protect him from Kobayashi Ryuji, Masami and Shirou's friend. Story-wise it was kind of predictable. From the beginning I knew where it was going, and there wasn't a moment that surprised me. I don't really mind predictability as long as the characters are interesting. For the most part I liked Ryuji and Shirou, their persistence was oddly endearing. Masami on the other hand was so painfully dense, I didn't connect with his character until the very last chapter. I would've loved a sequel, just to see how Masami and Ryuji’s relationship develops.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
