kinda weird and all over the place trying to do a lot with the plot with not enough space. basically a guy gets mistaken as a stalker of a girl by another guy. the stalker guy falls in love with his accuser and actually starts stalking him. but whole time it's kinda confusing if he actually is stalker or not lol. he even copied the other guy's room exactly. then there's some drama about the other guy's room being broken into. turns out the cause was just a mistake by an ex-gf of the neighbour. then there's some drama with a ring in the stalker guy's room. turns out it's the ring of the first girl. stalker guy wasn't stalking her, just trying to give her back the ring and her menstruation pads. in the end apparently the guy likes that the other guy is a huge stalker lol i don't really get it but ok happy for them. there was a misunderstanding about the stalker guy actually being in a past relationship with the first girl. a lot of these little dramas lol.

one guy has a crush on a girl. he starts consulting with the other guy on what to do. other guy falls in love with him during this process and i guess he fell in love back without knowing. he's still into the girl and she asks him out cuz he's so slow. they start dating but he's awkward around her and he notices. one day they're on a double date kind of and get pushed together. i guess the guy who has a gf realized his true feelings and the gf is cool about it cuz she started to suspect too. they get together and it's just cuteness!

Slow Starter (ichikawa Kei)

Complete | ichikawa kei | 2012 released

how could i ever forget this story. two guys meeting on a deserted train everyday and becoming friends. going to a cultural festival together and there's a little confession scare. some misunderstanding angst here. they confess to each other and they're together, how cute!! the second volume is pretty disappointing, but it does show snapshots from their time in uni and also from their time in high school. one shot about a guy whose emotions start showing physical signs on his chest. his friend who loves him tests him by saying he's married and then takes it back and then confesses and they get together. his heart goes through stages like a hole, a demon, loud ringing, and thumping. another oneshot with good misunderstanding angst. they are together just recently but suddenly no sex for 2 months. uke is worried he's been thrown to the side. turns out seme just didn't want the uke to hurt so much in sex and he wanted to see uke take initiative with initiating physical contact.

these two are friends, one always comforting the other when he gets dumped by girls. but the comforting guy actually likes his friend and that's why he stays by his side. but one drunken night he kisses his friend. next day his friend realizes he loves the other guy back. but the initial guy is wary because he thinks entering a relationship means breaking up one day and would rather just stay by his side. or at least he lies to himself like this. so the other guy actually has to initiate a lot of stuff and kinda chase him down. but he gets kind of fed up one day too. then they're like cold to each other for a while cuz both think they were in the wrong or whatever before finally making up. idk it was decent but nothing groundbreaking.

dropped mid chap 2. just not into these long haired flashy guys i guess. also idk, like i know this author's work is usually like confession or whatever in the first page, and this is no different, but a kiss just feels too much? and drinking again. not very creative. something like flashy popular guy likes the dull guy and kisses him when drunk. idk and he has some plan to make the guy his or at least some plan to use him idk cuz invited him over by lying he broke something and needs to take responsibility.

Machigitsune to Hito no Ko

Complete | Nmura | 2019 released

set in pre-ww2 tokyo. guy comes to tokyo to study (age 21) and he starts living at this fox spirit guy's house. never clarified what is the fox thing. slowly developing feelings for each other. fox spirit was friends with his grandfather 40+ years ago. there's some stuff about the fox hating humans but not him and not his grandfather and it's never really explained why. but ofc they get together. after dating 6 months still no sex cuz fox waiting for the student to graduate uni. idk i don't really like these historical or supernatural stories. but there were no problems so 4 stars. story is honestly 3 stars. art is not bad, but just this story is so boring to me.

Suki da Nante Zettai ni Iwanai

Complete | CHIBA Tayuri | 2016 released

super cute!! childhood friends already loving each other in elementary school lol but probably not romantically? anyway they are the same age, some months apart. the older one's mom died when he was 1, so always hung out at the younger one's house. when they were in 6th grade, older confessed to younger but got rejected cuz duh children. then younger regrets so much and goes to the same high school as the older in order to find him. not explained how he knew lol but they end up as roommates. older one obviously still has feelings cuz he kisses the other in his sleep. the younger pretends to be homesick to get the older to sleep with him. there's some backstory about the older one being rebellious in middle school due to step mom and shit and some older gf called manami but it's not really explained well... he called her up again but now she's pregnant and engaged lol. anyway, basically the younger is frustrated that the older has started avoiding him. older just didn't want his feelings to develop any further. younger rampages through the older's desk and finds an old childhood drawing of the two of them and his mom. kinda knows for sure now that the older one still likes him. goes out to find him hanging with his old punkish friends. drags him back home to their village to tell their mom so the older one will stop feeling guilty for stealing the younger one's possible future with wife and kids. ofc mom is ok and says she always knew. cute, the end! no sex.

very confusing story. lots of flashback and forth and dialogue that pretends to be deep. or just bad translation sometimes i suspect. basically these childhood friends always together, uke helping seme when they were young. then some point in high school he realized his friend was super good photographer and uke felt like he was just holding him back? so he kinda distanced himself. i think he already had feelings for seme cuz he got all stiff when topic of gfs came up. they are both kinda expressionless though. anyway, at this time seme totally like him too and always took photos of him. thought he was his muse. they are now in uni and it's basically a story of uke seeing seme's feelings for him in photographs and them getting together. then going to america together cuz seme is studying abroad and uke decided last minute to come with. i guess cuz it dealt with photography the mangaka wanted to make it artsy and stuff idk but confusing.
