[vol 2 ch 12]

"Shuichirou is in the habit of sneaking into the terrace of his school building during lunch, while skipping class, or when he wants to put off going home. There, he often meets with Konno. Konno is a guy shrouded in rumour: with some saying he's dark and intimidating but others claiming he's a photography enthusiast and an unexpectedly nice guy. Jealousy, envy, and an odd sort of mutual regard colors the interactions between these two young men: one who conceals his feelings behind a cheerful facade and the other whose simple-minded, pure-hearted demeanor makes his friend's previously avoidant existence rife with internal conflict" ✰ Student x Student ✰ Friends to Lovers ✰ Musician x Photographer ⤷ suchhhh good characters with a relationship that develops so wholesomely and organically. i love this one sm. great story

"Trying to find his little sister a tutor for her college exams, Arimura, who has a giant sister complex, enlists the help of a younger classmate whom he use to play baseball with in high school." ✰ Senpai x Kouhai ⤷

"Top students Kawase and Kurihara have been locked in an intense rivalry since the start of high school, unbeknownst to Kawase. No matter how hard Kurihara studies, he can’t seem to take the top spot. Kawase, taken aback by Kurihara’s hostile and self-damaging behavior, becomes determined to help him in any way he can." ✰ High School "Rivals" ⤷ loved the way Kurihara developed, i really feel for him! i loved his blunt and outwardly cold but inwardly sweet personality

LOVEEE this author. so much. the art is amazing, the characters are well developed, the writing is great. so so good!

"High School student Shino Yuzuru asks Seryou Touji out as a joke. Seryou, who's immensely popular, has the odd habit of going out with anyone who asks him out first at the beginning of the week, then promptly dumping them at the end of it. "Anyone" apparently includes male upperclassmen like Shino, and as a boyfriend, Seryou is perfect--unfailingly thoughtful and kind. Shino, obviously, has no intention of being in a serious relationship with Seryou. It's not like it's actually love or anything like that. ...Right?" ✰ Student x Student ✰ "Fake" Relationship ⤷ previous thoughts many-a years ago, "liked it but 7 days to fall in love felt super quick..but to be fair, i've read my fair share of BL where MCs confess even sooner, some the same day that they meet". new thoughts: the premise dumb as hell, don't feel much about the relationship - review: meh.

wholesome AF. great characters and art. love
