snowy's manga / #one shots(35)

Ch. 1, Prequel to Apple & Honey with Natsuki and Komano. Pre-established, beach scene. Ch. 2, About Natsuki's life, pre-Komano and their first meeting. Ch. 3-5, Guy goes to crush's house because of apocalypse predictions. They were classmates in HS ten years ago. Ch. 6, Komano steals Natsuki's glasses. Ch. 6.5, Komano/Natsuki special extras.

Ch. 1, God of poverty comes to live with lazy man who drives him crazy, then god of poverty leaves, comes back as shinigami. Ch. 2, Slice of life, outsider POV about a child contemplating his fathers' relationship. The part where dad's BF "turns invisible" when other people come over. Ch. 3, Guy is born, given long string of longevity names and lives at least two hundred years before meeting the shinigami from chapter 1 while working as a host. He MIGHT be the reincarnation of the first chapter lazy ass but I'm not 100%.

1-3) A kendo athlete beats up guys bullying an aloof classmate, the classmate tells him that he wants to see under kendo's clothes and they start a sexual relationship. Seme is uncertain about if uke likes him or his body. I like this one pretty well. 3/5 4-end) I was too scared of this one to read it. It looks like a guy gets together with his older sister's ex boyfriend?

Didn't strike me. Ch. 1-2 are about the shabby bookstore owner/mafia heir and an attractive younger man. Ch. 3 is about one of the bodyguards and a kind of scary looking seme. Ch. 4-5 are about a young man who likes to fight paired up with, of all creepy options, the father of his friend. Ch. 6 is okay, about a deaf guy's romance. Ch. 6.5 revisits the first couple. Art's typical of the manga-ka, story lines and characterization are pretty thin and the pairing of the old man and his son's friend is unforgivable.

Ch. 1 - Laika, Pavlova, Pochihachikou - Pretty girl has admirer. She's kind of spoiled because people dote on her but also don't respect her feelings. Didn't go for it myself. Ch. 2 - One Who Depicts Love - Kuudere girl asks a delinquent girl to be the model for her novel on unrequited love. DG thinks it's because she loves her best friend but it's really because KG loves her. Suuuuper cute. Ch. 3 - Lip Service Woman & Impregnable Maiden - Flirty type girl always says she loves her friend, friend doesn't buy it then kind of does. Unresolved. It's okay. Ch. 4 - Crow/Glistening Trinket - Girly girl likes cute things and encourages her "crow" friend to be cute. The Crow has a complex about it. Cute. I liked how the cute girl does not give a shit about being polite to people. It was funny.

1-3: Unrequited love triangle between two childhood friends (Mikita Ryuuji and Koya Naomi) and unfulfilled interloper (Sudo Kiyotoshi). 4: Story about two friends discussing the one friend's breakup and unrequited love. 5: Outsider POV. Cool story about Nakahisa, a girl who bonds with Tokame, a classmate who has a crush on the same boy Nakahisa does when the crush starts to bully him. 6: Interwoven "confessions" of people at a guy's funeral. 7: Mikashima, a yakuza guy, acts like his "mad dog" childhood friend, Suga, comes and goes as he pleases but it's really that Suga has always wanted Mikashima to really accept his affection and Mikashima is really tsundere. Then they quit the mafia. 7: Light glimpses of the characters from all the chapters. Comedic and makes you feel like things might work out.
