Hanami's manga / #The Feels(18)

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.

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.

Tsumori Ei was dumped by his boyfriend on Christmas Eve. He discovered a young man, Nakama Junpei, sitting out in the cold with a cat. A wonderful story with heartbreak, painful pasts, misunderstandings and all of the mess that comes with falling in love. This manga was just beautiful and realistic. It was funny, cute and heartbreaking. I loved all the characters and their complicated relationships. The only thing that was missing was a conclusion to Sagan and Kittaka. Other than that it was pure perfection.

After failing the domestic tour guide exam, Saitou Hikaru stumbles into a strange foreigner in a part. During the duration of his vacation, Hikaru lets Leo stay in his house. They start developing feelings for each other, unfortunately Leo turns out to be a prince. A story filled with cute moments, heartbreak and sexy foreigners. I loved this manga so much! I loved how Hikaru helped Leo grow as a person and how their feelings for each other developed.
