Hanami's manga / #School Life(31)

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.

(1) Yasaka Takanori has been in love with Akikawa Seiji for 5 years until he finds out that he’s sleeping around with the chemistry teacher. At the same time his friend and roommate, Tomori Mioki, confesses to him. This was so good. I liked Mioki, he was cold but also really cute. Takanori made me laugh a couple of times, poor guy really needs to live outside of his head and take a look around. (2) Student Tokura has always admired the school director Shiraizumi Touka. But after Sasamori sensei expresses his interest in Shiraizumi, Tokura has to act in order to not lose the director. At first I didn’t like Sasamori but at the end I wanted to keep him. Gold star for him. The director was too cute and innocent. (3) Hanamura Ousuke is a scholarship student at a school for rich people. He’s stuck taking care of the school president’s son, Tatemiya Soushi, who just came back from America. Tatemiya beats Hanamura in just about everything, a fact that irritates him. Until he discovered Tatemiya is afraid of the dark. Tatemiya was surprisingly innocent and cute, I liked how he admired Hanamura’s dedication. (4) Orihara wakes up next to his classmate and crush Miyagi, completely naked. Miyagi tells him that they are now going out, but they don’t act like a couple. Miyagi acts as if he’s not interested in Orihara. Miyagi was possessive and kind of cute. He also liked Orihara for a long time.

One rainy day, novelist Sakaguchi picks up his neighbor Kazuya and his black kitten. Since Kazuya’s mother is allergic to cats Sakaguchi offers to take care of it. Kazuya began to visit him every day to see the kitten but also to spend time with Sakaguchi. I loved this. I like shy and introverted characters, and Kazuya was just so sweet. His innocence caused some funny moments. I also liked how Sakaguchi understood him.
