Hanami's manga / #Senpai-Kōhai(8)

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.

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.

Omae De Nakya Dame Mitai

Complete | hakutou noriko | 2000 released

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.

Collection of steamy oneshots. (1) Student Uehara Yuuji falls in love with his math professor, Tatsukawa You, the only problem is that the professor hates people.

One morning Shun wakes up as a guinea pig. It turns out senpai was also in love with him and Kurosawa’s guinea pig, Merumo, turned him into a guinea pig so that they could finally get together. That guinea pig was so cute! And this chapter was pretty funny. (3) Tsuruka Asato is the tutor to Misumi Ren and they both fell in love at first sight. The only problem is that they both want to be the seme. I loved how Ren was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, he was going for the kill. (4) Miyamoto Yuzuru is an actor with stage fright so his new manager, Atou Souichirou, has the perfect solution, sexually harassing him and tapping it. (5) Umina Makoto is a perverted loverboy who watches his beloved Mitsurugi Aoi senpai from the window of the chemistry room. To win over his senpai, Umina uses a prototype love potion given to him by the president of the chemistry club. This was my favorite chapter because Umina is so freaking hilarious, the things he said had me dying. (6) Kazuma is in love with his cousin and swim teacher Nogaki Kyousuke. (7) Houyama Riku fell in love with his friend Hoshino Seita. His other friend Shinosaki Eiru helps Riku get some action, and it ends up in a threesome.

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.
