Long Vacation
re-read 26.6.2020, 24.8.2024 Two boys who’ve been friends since high school. One straight, one gay. Somehow, one morning, they end up kissing. A year after that, they have sex for the first time. Time passes, with them being on and off sex friends: on when single, and off when in relationahips with other people. One evening, about 14 years after they became friends, they have sex ... but this time, the straigt guy notices that his friend ”is feeling it more this time”. In the morning, the straight guy tells the gay that they ”need to stop this”. Gay guy thinks it means the straight wants to break it off completely, and says it was ALL his fault. But the straight one clarifies before he even finishes his apology, saying ”won’t you go out with me?” because he wants them to have a proper reltionship instead. Gay guy starts to ugly cry, because that’s what at least 6 years of unrequited love will do to you. Damn good one-shot.

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.

17.10.2020 Volume 1 This story is about how a kouhai fell in love with his senpai the boss when he started working under him. A few years down the line, when he’s turning thirty and the boss is turning fourty...the unrequited love comes to light and they become a very lovely couple. The most lovely thing about them is how much they both bring out the best in each other, and how much they complement one another. Oh, the fact that the younger man LOVES his older man’s cooking (he eats it to the point of gettong hamster cheeks!) is adorable. And the say the older man isn’t really shy to say thing even if he blushes and gets embarrassed due to being sex shy a LOT is also lovely. Also, what starts with with girl talk (about how all the women keeps looking at how handsome the younger man is) at a pancake place and ends with boy talk (about masturbatory aids among other things...) over beer and food at home? Well, this couple’s story. Loved it. 30.1.2021 - Volume 2 The older man gets insecure when his superior at work notices his necktie around the younger man’s neck. Drama ensures, and they’re both so unhappy :( (ch 1-2) 24.7.2022 ch 3-5 They fought, and the older guy outed himself to his two collegues (the bosses), and they supported him being in a relationship this messy (with a younger man, and subordinate to boot), and the guys fought and so very much grown up, and made up, made compromises, and damn it my heart can’t take this much amount of reasonable realistic fluff! 20.10.2023 Vol 2 ch 6 - 6.5 + side stories 5.5-5.6 Onsen trip. Moving in together, Nozue proposing to Togawa. Them calling each other Saki (Nozue) and Minoru (Togawa). There’s this pointed scene in the onsen trip when an elderly lady at a ceramics shop treats them very naturally as lovers, and automatically changes a couple set of bowl into two equally large ones. And they both get so flustered because of the acceptance, and it’s so poignant. Damn it, this whole story just goes around your heart and makes it soft and fluffy! Even the sex, goddess damn it!, and it hits so in the feels!
