40 x 40 Chikuwa Kaigi
Plot: Two 40 yo divorcees finally get to be together after 22 years of pining and having a very close relationship. I really like the relationship they have. It's so sweet and painful at the same time. BUT them saying they are too old for sex when they are 40 - ARE YOU KIDDING ME???! THAT'S WHEN IT GETS GOOD!!! And 40 yo ppl are NOT OLD, FOR FUCKS SAKE. Very sweet, very wholesome, very cute. Loved it.
Chicken Heart Serenade
Plot: 2 sex friends evolve into a healthy relationship after a bit of tears. Both are gay, both are a bit hurt and broken by life. One is lonely after the only person in his family who gave a shit about him, his brother, goes and starts his new family. The other is forced by his family and society to be a good citizen and get married. In the end they find comfort in each others arms. This story hits a bit differently, personally. I see bits and pieces of myself in both of main characters and I dont really like to be called out by my manga... nevertheless its a good, simple story, executed very nicely and smoothly.
