RoseMary's manga / #Cohabitation(176)

【】A popular novelist who's currently having a writer's block finds at the beach a young man, unconscious and naked! What is more, once awaken, it seems the man has also lost his memory... ⇝ I don't like to rush into making guesses, but obviously something's up! I think the mystery guy already knew the novelist, as he knew about his debut work...he may be fan or opposite...anyway, we still don't know about his circumstances and why he was in that condition, but I feel their meeting must be a fateful one...the young man will probably be the reason the novelist will be able to write again and maybe even write a book about|dedicated to him haha I don't know, I got that idea from the title, "For You, Who I Picked up On the Beach".

Bisexual Flower Shop Manager Haruhiko (28--->29--->last ch: 30) x Teen Employee Takashi (18--->19--->last ch:20, 21) [[Side Couple: (Originally straight) Flower Shop's Employee Ryou (23) x Gay Salaryman Tsuzuki Toshio (28) - Established couple already cohabitating since the prequel, where only Ryou appeared. Here Tsuzuki was finally introduced, but they didn't have much space, but in ch. 10 we see how they got together through the Manager, who, before opening the shop, was a salaryman working together with Tsuzuki.]] Prequel: Koi to Wana - Ch. 5 Us, Blooming (Shounen Ai) Spin-off: Bokura no Negai - Haruhiko and Takashi appear there from ch. 4 onwards when Hayato, one of the brothers protagonists there, starts working part-time at Haruhiko's flower shop. And he works there till the end of the story.

Really good and fun story with cordial and warm vibe! I really liked all the characters and the whole crazy family situation! A "Home Drama" for real haha I liked how, despite having all different mothers and being so different themselves from one another, the brothers get along so well and are comfortably living together, and also being together in somehow always driving away housekeepers one after the other haha They really needed someone like Shinnosuke, so capable in everything and also tough, literally able to knock them down ohoh he was cute and cool at the same time! In the end, I gave 4 stars to the story though, because I felt like something was still missing there to make it really completed. I loved the way Shinnosuke and the 2nd bro, Ryuuzou, became a couple, from their earlier interactions to the following development...but, while there was a good building up, I felt their sex scene was too brief. I wish it could have been felt a bit more! And the end felt a bit abrupt, with them becoming step-brothers at the very end: I mean, it's right there at the end that an actual "step-siblings' love" story would have begun! Also, its' a pity that things didn't work out for Kouji and Kyougo, the eldest and the third brothers. Too bad the third bro's feelings were one-sided. Especially since, although they didn't tell it to him, it turned out the third bro was actually their father's best friend's son, so it wouldn't have been even incest. Actually, even if the eldest said he couldn't return his feelings, at the end it felt like their situation was still unresolved, because even Ryuuzou said the thing with them was still hanging in the balance, so we needed more! Also, in the end, the little bro receiving a love letter from a third-year student and thinking about it...we definitely needed to see more about that as well! Yep, without a doubt, it would have been really nice to see more of all the other brothers! In fact, when I read stories with brothers, I love to see all of their events. That's something really amusing! So yeah, I kinda needed a second volume to see a bit more of everything! But it's still a favourite of mine!! I really enjoyed reading it! >> Note for myself: [[Toura brothers - 4 half-brothers*: Kouji (31, Eldest bro, Salaryman, Straight); Ryuuzou (28, 2nd bro, Scriptwriter, Gay); Kyougo (17, 3rd bro, High-school student, He's in love with the eldest bro, Gay); Koroku (14, 4th bro, Middle-school student, by the end he has barely just started questioning about love and sexuality) - and the new housekeeper, Shinnosuke (23, Tea Ceremony Instructor, Currently housekeeper at the Toura Household, Straight, He suspected he also was an half-brother of the the Toura bros, because his mother knew their father around the time he was born, but that wasn't the case at all. But in the very end of the story he really becomes their step-brother due to his mother and the bros' father meeting in Alaska and getting together. // *It turned out the third bro is actually not related to the bros]]

Unique story, the general idea was interesting! I must say that in actuality I honestly didn't care about all the cases they investigated, so it was boring for me to read those parts. At some point, I went through those pages quickly. But, apart from that, which also depends on one's personal tastes, it's a well-done nice and fun reading. Especially the characters were charming. I really liked Chiaki and Natsuki! I liked them together. I actually always like sensei's characters: I like the way she draws them, their personalities and behaviours...they never fail to fascinate me! In this story, I really liked this type of couple, which was also kinda unique I'd say, and that's definitely what made me read till the end! Their romance seemed marginal, and it really wasn't the focus of the story, but it slowly evolved and the ending was really nice! For the characters and their relationship, I'd have given it 4 stars!

️The plot is definitely unique and interesting. There's an intriguing mystery going on and I wanted to continue reading to see things being revealed and all the pieces nicely coming together. And, about this, I think the narration of the events was good. Personally, I didn't find it confusing or anything like that. I think it was written well. There's also an interesting cast of characters. Regarding Tomoki and Kaname (in his young appearance), I like them together, although there're a couple of things that are not much to my liking: first of all, Kaname at first basically rapes Tomoki, and then the thought that Kaname is actually an old guy makes it a bit weird. I mean, he could be his grandfather! Anyways, I'm interested in the story. Too bad though that it's dropped, so it's not complete here. Hope to read the rest!️ 3 Volumes (Complete)

[[Author: Sakuragi Chisako; Artist: Honami Yukine]] Honestly speaking, I couldn't put up with their mutual misunderstandings anymore. In that respect, it was a frustrating almost ridiculous reading, especially regarding the uke's thoughts. At some point he himself said "maybe I'm overthinking too much" and I really didn't know what to do with him anymore. They seemed both pathetic and hopeless, but especially the uke. Anyways, overall I liked it. Mostly because it's a cousins' story, which I always like to read, and in the end, when they FINALLY get together (after dragging the misunderstandings for so long that it tired us out), it was nice! And Honami Yukine's art is nice as well, so it made the story more bearable! I must say that the character Issei, the uke's childhood friend and uni buddy, was so much more interesting then the two protagonists! He even took the situation into his hands and convinced Mizuho to go to see Enji, otherwise the uke would have still been there not knowing what to do with himself. So yeah I wish there was a story for Issei, especially since it was said that he could be bisexual! And in the end, when he accompanied the uke, I liked how he met Yoshimi-san, the seme's tutor and physician who is gay, so that could have been the beginning of a story for those two! #Cousins, Uni Students, 1-year-older Uke
