Given
Uenoyama was once driven to learn guitar, but he lost his inspiration. He comes across Sato sitting in his favourite napping spot with a poorly maintained Gibson and flips out. The two boys open each other's eyes to music, Sato to possibilities he never imagined and Uenoyama to possibilities he had abandoned. An interesting story about rock musicians with gorgeous artwork and believable characters.
Kakugo wo Kimete
Everyone always underestimates the cute and demure-acting Tetsu, until his unleashes his rage all over them. This son of a yakuza overlord has quite the bag of fighting tricks, and it looks like he's going to need all of them as a scheming pornographer and con artist tries to corner him by making him fall in love. Good story, but unlikely to be finished.
Shimasho.
There sure is a whole lot of sex going on here for someone who wants to teach somebody else about tea ceremonies ...
Yume Musubi, Koi Musubi
You have to hand it to Ao, once he decided he was in love with his old friend and neighbourhood Buddhist priest, Ryoumei, nothing but nothing will get in his way. It's Ryoumei who needs to be coaxed into releasing the iron-clad armoring over his heart, and he won't hear of it as long as Ao is not a legal adult. Plus, the biggest obstacle of all is that he isn't gay. Also, there are unresolved family issues. This story takes its time developing the lives and circumstances of these characters and letting them ease into love. The sequel, Himegoto Asobi, is even more interesting to me (because both characters are adults with difficult pasts to overcome.)
Magic Mail Chocolate
A friend does his best to make the boy he loves feel better when he never receives any chocolates on Valentine's Day and realizes he probably never will.
