Kawaisa Amatte Nanika ga Hyakubai
Three stories, - a florist and a a gay office worker who gets dumped by his older (married) colleague - a shy classmate and the outgoing classmate who decides to befriend him on a whim - the son of a bar Mama and a crossdressing co-worker Overall I don't think I really loved any of them. The first one got wierd with the florist being pushy and aggressive in bed out of jealousy, in a non-con way that wasn't acknowledged at all. The second one was just generic high school romance, but it's always lame when the assumed uke suggests switching and the seme is like . The last story was the best three I guess, just too short to get into.
Ibitsuna Bokura no Katachi
This is cute! It's missing... Something, not sure what, that would make it 5*. Maybe it's a bit too vague somehow? Idk.
Chotto Matte yo Hanaya-san
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.
The Honest Life of a Game Studio
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!
Giocatore, Hokaku Keikaku
Just rereading to refresh my memory of this artist.
Ai Ni Chimayoe!
4/17/25 Skipped the first story (ch 1+2) b/c 17 seme/40 uke. Teen is the son of the old man's childhood friend, and looks just like him (according to comments). Nooooo ty. Read the second story (ch 3+4), one-sided fwb re-encounter. Constantly at odds, seme was pushy and it all just works out because persistence. Didn't like it.
Omega no Kakushigoto wa, Hotel no Naka de
