Bike's manga / #slice-of-life(24)

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.

Love the concept. MC's adorable. Yokai With Horror Elements is a "hell yes" from me. Chapters have a slight "slice-of-life" kind of vibe. Not much in terms of the overall plot yet, but the author's sewn in the initial seeds; color me intrigued! Can't wait to figure out more about not only the contract but also whatever's going on with the old guy. Only up to Chapter 5 right now. Can't wait for the rest.

Ongoing. Comedy. Dear lord, the mangaka character

This manga’s such a hoot. Chapter 26 nearly broke me Cosmic Cat Scans did a really good job at translating this series (makes me reluctant for if/when the official TL comes out ;-;) -- smut tags (self-reference): squirting, cream pie, big dick, spanking, food sex, marathon sex, foot job (sort of)

Wishing for updates!

Ch. 84 Good.

Fake incest, an uncle and nephew. Uncle was adopted into the family, so they’re not blood related. Uncle doesn’t pursue the kid, iirc it’s all the nephew. He did raise the kid, so there’s some dubiousness there. Ultimately, though, it’s quite compelling. Something about the way hideyoshico builds things up hits just right. Wished the scans were completed. Might consider getting the raws myself because I really want to see the end of this.

Pretty sweet. Something about the beautician is a character I absolutely love, but everyone in this story is quite sweet. It's really just teaching a girl to be more comfortable with styling, and it's neat. It's not too deep, but it doesn't need to be, given the format (although I would mind exploring the 'onee' character a bit more) ON HOLD (6.5)

Been almost a year, but cool, chapter 23. I read this manga not expecting much a year ago, and what I've ultimately concluded is that it's just your run-of-the-mill "slice-of-life school" kind of manga with a quirky twist--except the twist here is that the MC's accidentally gotten himself involved in a gay sex club. The guys are aiming for his virginity, but really, the only person who stands a chance is his black-haired classmate friend, who also got roped into this mess. And unfortunately, he's also got a cousin(?) who festers a likely unrequited love for him (2nd ML Syndrome, I suppose), but it doesn't really matter right now because he ain't really doing anything in response to anyone's advances. Honestly, it's pretty cute. Other notes: If I were to describe this manga in a single phrase, I would say that it's "YAOI, but camp." An absurdly ridiculous premise, but once you get over it, it's a fine, albeit slightly weird, slice-of-life manga with a bit of heart. I've grown to like the other characters in lieu of their subplots, but I still can't help but LOATHE Yuri (the pink-haired dude with the shades?), because he genuinely terrifies me. Like yes, I get he's a messed up dude, but he's freaky. Can't stand him. Anyway, manga's surprisingly ain't bad. Just don't take the core premise too seriously and you'll be (mostly) fine.

Sequel/second in the series created by this author. It's the dude who went hard on liking chicks in the first one. Turns out it was all a farce. Whole thing builds off of one-sided identity porn, meaning two identities at play, here. I found the plot twist in here fun, and it was pretty enjoyable overall.
