cmdrbanger's manga / #Favorite(90)

*sigh* this is what it's all about. Seeing these two slowly fall in love and try to balance their friendship with their romantic feelings is the best. Another comfort read from Fujiyama (the mangaka of 1k Apartment!)

The classic! Just marking as read for organization's sake. 11/20/22

Totally hot cop x yakuza. I've reread multiple times and love it.

This was surprisingly wholesome and satisfying! Akira gets out of his abusive and self-destructive agency, gets to be the person he wants to be with Yuma, and Yuma is refreshingly honest about his feelings for Akira even before he 'changes' himself for the better. I really like it! The only reason is 4* instead of 5 is that I just wish there was more, of course.

Oh this is a special one. I was afraid it would turn into a love triangle with the high school student, but it was much much better than that. The main character's introspection, and the subtle romance developing with his boss... Definitely one I'll enjoy even more upon rereading.

This was a special one, as the rating shows. I've never read a manga that treats everything, from sex to sexuality to the complexity and confusion of developing romantic feelings for someone so naturally. Even the 'erotic spa' angle was more or less okay because it didn't add some needless angst or drama on top of the story. Also reminded me a little of Given with the musical theme and vague similarities between the main couples of both manga.

Shishio falling in love with Satoru was so cute!! I wish the story had more of Satoru being a little clingy, but overall it was very good. And very hot.

The gap moe fav!!

Wow...this was surprisingly thoughtful. I'm reminded of Doushitemo Furitakunai. Even the dubious consent/assault was handled with more care than I typically expect. I really really love how desperately Misaki is to be accepted and loved, while also believing himself incapable and unworthy of receiving it. The dialogue of the last argument was so perfect and gut-wrenching, I could practically hear it. Not to mention the fact that despite having a ONS, Misaki and Junichirou's relationship develops so naturally out of the time they spend just hanging out. Definitely an unexpected new favorite.
