just_m3h's manga / #unrequited love(305)

this is perfection. no complaints

1: (The sad coat scene I know I will look for again, at some point) Honda is surprised at work by his old high school and university kohai, Higuchi, a man who seems to follow him everywhere, and do everything he does, only better. Love the role reversal here! 4* 2: Aoyama fell for his chief at work, when he came to give a business lecture, back in the day. But, working for him, Aoyama realises the chief is in a one sided love with the CEO. Complications! Pretty funny, actually. 4* 3: Minami and Himejima are fighting for the same promotion when Himejima finds out that Minami is gay. Not only is this realisation not as sudden as Minami would like to believe, he also doesn't plan to use it against him. To top it off, their feelings for each other may have been more than they thought. 3* 4: Odajima treated harshly by his chief who dislikes that Odajima looks so much like his ex boyfriend who dumped him very recently. 3* Overall: 3.5*

1: Amano reunites with his high school love, Takase, whom he considered out of his league. Takase appears to have a very different recollection of their time together, and flames that never really went out are rekindled. Involves time travel, but is never explained. 4* 2: Momoi was a senpai of Tachibana's back in high school and is now an up an coming artist, while Tachibana is a part time worker at Amano's cafe'. He stole a painting of Momoi's in high school, but returned it right away because he didn't want to dirty the painting of the one he loved. Only thing is, he's not the only one who has been hiding things. 5* 3: Haruki has always been in love with his childhood friend who is ten years his junior, Hikari. Only, he never thought his feelings were appropriate nor would be reciprocated. 4* Overall thoughts: The theme appears to be re-encountering old, unrequited love and inferiority complexes. I enjoyed it a lot. 4*

I would give it five stars, but it's so terribly sad. Makes me feel hollow inside. Not a single happy ending :'|
