Short and sweet, not weighed down by tired tropes. Nice art!

This doesn't feel kind bl in the typical sense, more like ground in reality manga about gay couples. (Seeing them use pillows during sex is so real lmao!)definitely my new fav author.

Started interesting with the initial confession happening offscreen, but ultimately an awkward story not helped by bad translation. Elements like Mizutani being groped on the train and his childhood crush coming back as a teacher (bleh) didn't get any satisfying resolution.

Nande Koigataki ga Ki ni Nannen!?

Complete | Torime | 2022 released

I read it! It's cute, a little too short, but I guess that's fine. The romance develops by accident between new college friends while they both (mistakenly) think they have feelings for a third friend. Not bad! Note to self: it's apparently a love triangle, but read it anyway - skipped to the extra chapter and it seems alright. Art is great!

Cute but a little rushed BDSM flavored romance. Almost no actual on-screen romantic development, but it works out in the end I guess. Skipped the second story (old man/20 something).
