Hebikui Tori

Complete | megu iroha | 2014 released

Interesting, unique art, decent story.

The Stone Cold General & the Maid Perplexed by his Burning Passion

Ongoing | Youka koinada | 2022 released

Excellent! Love everything so far. Hope it continues! Ch 14 - okay, I love everything *except* the swooning sex scenes lol. Too overwrought for me.

Tenchou, Koi Desu.

Complete | NAKATA Akira | 2013 released

Three couples, 2+2+1 chapters. I liked that the two initial couples! Didn't like the resolution of the last one because of the verbiage (using seme and uke in English) and the obvious foreshadowing that the pov character would 'give in' and end up being the bottom. Otherwise, very cute.

Chotto Matte yo Hanaya-san

Complete | MACHIYA Hatoko | 2017 released

Very nice art style, lacking something to make it 5*. Too short? Vague? The kissing close-ups are very awkward, but the eyes and expressions sometimes are amazing.

Hanakage no Kioku

Complete | mieno saori | 2007 released

I only skimmed this one. The self-sacrificing stubbornness of the uke was way too melodramatic. There's a happy ending but literally only in the last couple pages. Wish there was more to the meat if the story and their relationship than more than a decade of mutual pining.

The Honest Life of a Game Studio

Complete | Higefusa | 2019 released

This is one of the most adorable manga I've ever read, AND it has a preternaturally apt theme and message for me in particular (re game dev). Straight to the favorites!

Reizouko no Naka wa Karappo

Complete | Yamada yugi | 2019 released

Karamawari Weekend

Complete | Izui Zui | 2022 released

Short and sweet oneshot. Kawanami and Mifune.

Bed no Ue no Tengoku

Complete | Nomori Mina | 2000 released

Meh, good but not great. The best was the high school couple trying to overcome the difficulties of a community that won't accept them, but when they reunite at the end after many years, there's no satisfying resolution! Even a hug would've been enough, it's clear they missed each other.
