cmdrbanger's manga / #Slice of Life(116)

That was really good! Love how thoughtful their relationship developed as they both explored bottoming for each other. Surprisingly not tropey. <3 I thought this was over, but I guess it's got some more slice of life story to go.

Awkwardness re: possible fetishism of a culture aside (which didn't happen), this was really cute! I like that the story continued past high school and into college. Also wow they have the most realistic sex I've seen in a BL. Like, not being able to get past the tip the first time kind of sex. The realism and attention to detail is impressive!

*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!)

Good but not as good as the prequel. I'm kinda glad I read that one first because I hate backtracking and then having nothing to read afterwards. 11/20/22

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

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.

This was really good! The age gap made it hard to enjoy completely, but everything else was great. The found family aspects and Youichi's huge character development were all good. I wish Sakurai was 28 instead of 38 cos wow that's a borderline uncomfortable gap, but I was able to overlook it because I wanted to enjoy the rest of the story

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.
