A Fine Line
2.6.2020 - 13.12.2023 ch 1-35 One of them who’s well off and emotionally constipated (not my words but the shoe fits) and one who has a relly low self-esteem and is poor. Makes for real contrast, and tries to show the dangers of not communicating with your partner.
Sayonara, Itoshi No My Friend
12.7.2020 This work is two stories, about two very different brothers. The best part is that they still ugly cries in the same adorably honest way. Both couples form as office romances, even if it takes the brothers time to come to terms with their own feelings and own up to their loves.
Risou No Koibito
29-30.7.2020 Damn it, it took until the frikking LAST chapter (ch 13) for the couple in this story to actually go from ”paper dolls” to a somewhat believable loving couple. *sigh* Although, there WAS one time in ch 12 when they quietly held hands on the bus back from the onsen trip.
Waraibanashi No You Da
14.9.2020 The artwork is messy, and reminds me so much of Ischikawa Kei that my heart starts hurting. The couple in this story is yet another of those ”idiot couples” where one tends to overthink and the other be too embarrassed to say anything and instead just tend to be blunt/rude. And just like with Kei, awkward first sex scenes. *swoon* And I wish the best of luck to them. They seemed plausible.

Kiss wa Dolce no Ato de
4.11.2020 The story does lack a little in explaning how Mizaki got his inferiority complex, but otherwise this is a story with lot of reality checks. The one thing I found myself hating was how Sasaki was abruptly just removed from his 6 y o sons life when the wife decided to remarry. He had no rights! Seriously made me sangry.
Yoru ga Aketemo
3.12.2020 This mangaka seems to like drawing +30yo people in their ”first real relationships”, with ALL the akwardness that can entail. (I’ve read two of their works so far) In this one, a closeted gay office manager is healed (by his kouhai) from his first heartbreak, and after more than just some overthinking on both their parts, they become true lovers. It can’t be described as ”two idiots who fell in love”, but it sure FEELS like it. Especially with the kouhai getting antsy about seeing his sempai looking at him without glasses on: ”I don’t want to see your love for me disappearing from your eyes!” Loved it! <3
