Well that was actually pretty cute! Didn't expect the childhood closetting angle at all.

A unique shounen-ai coming of age. Focuses on the friendship developing with hints go feeling more. The relationship isn't resolved until the very last chapter and epilogue.

A lot like A Sign of Affection, but BL. Really pretty art! I hope there's more, because this focuses more on the friendship developing and not the romance (which is fine, it's very good!) There's a sequel!! The chapters are on Renta (JP) and the volume just went on sale July 2024!! I picked the best time to reread this

This could be an amazing slice of life romance, but it's unfinished as of 12/7/22. Only read 2 of 3 available chapters because I'd rather not have the feeling of completely waiting for more.

Surprisingly thoughtful romantic development. Wish it was longer!

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.

This had all the important things in a lowkey and realistic scenario, no huge drama or conflict needed! Only complaint is being short.

This was so SO heartwarming. The genuine feeling of Homare struggling to feel accepted and the way he and Junpei fit together organically, it feels so natural. Admittedly the mother passing away was contrived, but it was as tastefully done as it could've been.

I liked this one! I won't ding it for being short because I know it has a sequel. Kirishima being open minded about everything is nice.
