Renai-rubi no Tadashii Furikata
30.9.2020, 10.7.2024, 23.8.2024 Natsuo x Hiromi Idiot delinquent uke and gloomy nerdy seme turned prince. Started going out as out as revenge for high school trauma, but ended falling completely in love with one another. So cute <3 Kannosuke x Shuuna Kannosuke has trauma from a previous relationship - one where he physically abused his lover. Because of that he’s decided to never fall in love again and never have anpther relationship. Then Shuuna, his kouhai at work, has a one night stand with him and everything slowly changes. It’s a heartbreaking/healing story.

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

25.12.2020 In chapter 2 there’s this ”old historical vibe” going on, and it features a young adult man being abused in his uncle’s household, and his gardener poisoning the unvle to spare him from it. But the rest of the stories were pretty good yaoi ”fluffy”, with everything from tsundere ukes to puppy semes and megane.

13.1.2021 The last story, of the two salarymen, was the best story imo. Sincerely confessing and asking someone to be your lover by the elevator while you’re wearing morning stubble and a hotel bathrobe... could it be more desperate and genuine? The way his lover just breaks down there in front of him, that really conveyed the whole ”I thought I could never ever have you”-feeling of the scene. The main couple, about the designer who after many years finally is reuniged with his high school crush and muse... worked itself out nicely. It was good that the mangaka drew both charachters’ POV, becaue the way the seme was acting all shy and depressed from not being more confident was getting a bit weird. The enemies to lovers story REALLY would have been nice to have ended on a better note than ”they started dating 2 months later”
