How can I describe this? It has a different feel from other yaoi, but I couldn't stop reading. Somehow, even with all of their strangeness and flaws, the characters were so endearing. Maybe because they seemed as real and random as real people? And I really enjoyed the dialogue, especially in the first story. Somehow, the lulls in conversation spoke volumes.

It's sad but I'm glad I finished it. The uncle was still kind of an asshole, manipulating everyone else's emotions just to get his way. I'm really glad everything worked out with Yuu-kun though. Wish I could see their family life! ^.^

Female boss attracted to her subordinate and finds out he feels the same way when they get stuck in the office on Christmas Eve. Not a bad story. In fact, this makes me more interested in the female superior, male subordinate situation.

Otomen

Complete | Aya Kanno | 2006 released

Girly hobby lover on the inside, manly man on the outside, Asuka Masamune lives a difficult life trying to maintain a facade to protect his image (and delicate family life). Even otomen can fall in love, though! And fall in love he does, with the adorably delicate beauty with the flower like smile and iron fists. It started off as a fairly cute story, but dragged on much longer than it needed to. I think there are 30-40 chapters in the middle somewhere I never actually read; I would sort of come back sporadically, read a chapter or two to figure out what was happening, and then move on. So, honestly, to this day I'm not too sure how it ended.

Nice smutty oyaji goodness! Let's ignore the nonsense that is the Kidd's story...

I feel like every so often I end up on this page, see that it's completed and go "since when? I don't remember completing it!" Then I reread the whole thing again, forget to mark it as complete and go through the whole process again in another few months. I guess that means I just don't want it to end lol. But seriously, it's super cute and the first few chapters show potential for it to be a good, long story, with him getting rejected by his first love, having some more adventures falling in and out of love a few times, making more friends, etc, and then eventually hooking up with his girl friend. The way it ends is cute, but I didn't want his character to go away so soon I guess.

Seishun Otome Banchou!

Complete | seino shizuru | 2013 released

Mihane, daughter of the main couple for Junai Tokkou Taichou, has a scary (read: terrifying) face. But that doesn't stop her from falling in love -and chasing after- the handsome Touma. Mmm...it was hilarious! The main character was funny, crazy, and just an all around strange person. I didn't much care for Touma- he was kind of an asshole in the beginning and then just passively received the benefits of Mihane without really doing much of anything. Towards the end, a bit of personality started to emerge so I do wish it could have continued a bit more.

Mori no Takuma-san

Ongoing | KOMURA Ayumi | 2000 released

Cute shoujo about a girl who's obsessed with appearances and her falling in love with her childhood friend, who's perfect in every way except for his size. This author breaks the 4th wall a lot with her series, which is...meh I guess? It's fairly interesting the first time but gets more and more boring/repetitive as time goes on. Glad the series didn't stretch out too long as it would have become super monotonous (and it was moving towards that a bit as is), though I wouldn't have minded a few more chapters that explained what was up with Takuma's genes that made him and his family like that...

Edit: I originally described this author's one shots as mediocre, but I was wrong somewhat. They're mediocre when you binge read 20 at once because you're overloading your brain with so many characters and plots that you'd need some thing stellar to make an impact that can last past the next couple stories. Her series are much more memorable since you have time to learn to love the characters. But her one shots aren't bad athing all. They're rather cute, in fact. Certainly can't say they're super memorable, but they give all I want from a one shot- a bite-sized plot that's a snapshot of real life high school love (fancified of course), not too much drama, characters you want to cheer for, and a romance that makes you grin. Overall, just adorable
