Bike's manga / #drama(61)

Dude who forsees the future by touching meets man with bad luck. -- Immovable object meets unstoppable force. One of those A x B BL, but it's a cute one. I'll have to reread to refresh my mind on past chapters.

Former childhood friends meet up at their hometown by pure coincidence. Also, one of the dudes has wings. Interesting ideas with confusing ending, but I still enjoyed it.

Fears immortality, the beauty of loved ones, cherishing them while they're alive, societal outcast, loving someone, treasuring someone

Continuation of that one BL where the pair does sexual acts as a way of revealing the old man's psychological trauma. Sequel is surprisingly heartwarming. They've settled down a bit. Seems like there's still some underlying problems, but I haven't seem much of it yet. At this point we're still seeing them in love, which is nice.

An overly emotive actor encounters someone who was born deaf.

Read to Chapter 2 Not much to say now, but I think it's promising, especially after Chapter 2. The Bullied MC x Protective Yandere ML pair didn't strike my interest at first glance, but there's something about the way that the author's been portraying the MC that makes him...noble. I understand the rationale for him willing to be a victim of people's abuse, and I can also understand why the ML can appreciate someone like him. It's interesting so far. I suppose I'll see how it'll go from here. (On a side note, Yandere reminds me a bit of Jin Kikuchihara from Yoiyoi Monologue. They're not too similar to each other, but they possess a certain...flamboyance and confidence that I can appreciate in a character.)

Author and editor pair that had a sort of romance going on when they were in high school. This one's interesting for its exploration into writers' block. Felt like the mangaka was drawing from their own experience for that. Felt vulnerable, open that way. Romance development track was essentially the editor going "I like you," as the MC struggled with his own feelings. Progression as of the current chapter's been left on a good note :)

Mad scientist revives an aquaintance who died in an alley. There were side effects. Manga explores those side effects. --- tl;dr Unique concept that further stands out with moody tone and fascinating character dynamics. Initial chapter ideas and uncertain pacing of middle chapters coalesce into slightly rushed but powerful ending. The manga is rather morbid in tone. A bit gory---lots of hijinks involving having to kill people for the mad scientist's experiments. Oh, yes. The mad scientist. He's ultimately what makes this the manga it is. He has a fascinating dynamic with the man he resurrected---he very much treats him like a toy to be played with, except, no, it's not exactly that, either. Their dynamic is truly interesting in the sense that they sort of...mesh together, rather than fall in love in the conventional sense. The resurrected man has no one; he is dead to the world. The scientist has no one, either; he's isolated himself in the name of science. So. They make do, love each other in the best sense they can until the end. I love stories like this one. I haven't finished this one yet, but I've gone through a majority of it and encountered spoilers for the ending. It's a bit rushed, but it's GOOD. It's wraps everything up well, and, I believe, is the only one that I think fits thematically.

It's a "who your daddy?" situation -- they both hooked up with this girl in the past, she passes away, and they're left to figure out who's the father. No DNA identification (the mom left a note iirc), so they end up living together with the kid. Hijinks ensue. --- Current favorite ongoing series. Lovely art, with good character dynamics throughout. Author knows how to create distinct characters in addition to compelling relationships. There's a lot I want to talk about with this series, but I'll stop there for now.

Man pines after a friend who gets married. He gets together with a bartender to cope. Turns out, the friend likes him back. --- Will plan to read more of later. I will say that some were disappointed that the main character didn't stay with the bar tender. Understandable. Doesn't seem to be that sort of story. Would be nice to read, though.
