+ acad rivals to friends to lovers! took them more or less a decade to get there "caregiver monster" MC x "baby" ML~ my cutesy little yearners ( ˶ˊᜊˋ˶ )
+ basically, they start out as rivals → become friends & lunch buddies → ML falls first → MC immediately notices but feigns ignorance since he still hasn't come to terms with his own feelings → they still hangout during and after college → MC finally comes to terms with his feelings & accepts ML → happy ending with domestic & wholesome moments
+ every work from this author never fails to be heartwarming, yet also touch on some sensitive topics especially with their characters' perception about being queer ₍ᐢ..ᐢ₎♡ i also love how all of MCs' friend group are so supportive with them !! and they never crossed any boundaries—they all waited until both characters were ready to be together
+ these are the type of mangas you'd want to binge for relaxation & getting the jittery feels because of sweet and adorable they are (⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝) would also like to mention how ao has the CUTEST chibis of all time he is indeed the epitome of the word "baby" (T_T) so obsessed with this author's art !!! i'm seated for yoshiidas' spin-off (>ᴗ•) !

+ coworkers to fubus? (idk no label bro) to lovers :> LMAO tbh i have a love & hate relationship with them this is a guideverse one—i haven't read a lot of these stuff so i'm quite unfamiliar with how it works. but, i think i find the concept fascinating, to say the least
+ MC is an S minus esper who saved ML's life—his S level guide—when he was still a kid (yup! huge age gap ). because of this, ML develops admiration and love (... obsession) for MC (｢๑•₃•)｢
+ for a short story, i think it wasn't that bad? i mean, i will say, the art carried for this one however, i still enjoyed it! i just wish ML apologized and stopped acting all spoiled yk,, but what i like about him was that he genuinely treasured MC
+ am i disturbed by the age gap? kind of, since MC literally raised ML since he was a child... but to hell with it—it's fiction !!! plus, MC clearly DID NOT groom ML so i'm fine with it (◍•ᴗ•◍) anyway, the art is gorgeous i hope this author makes more ^^
