nobile's manga / #5*(220)

This story was far funnier and cuter than I had imagined. My heart goes to poor Hamster-girl, being so confused and troubled for so long; but I do feel like Snake-boy is just too cute and adorable. He is awkward and lacking in common sense, but he's so honest and straightforward and truly devoted... He just can't express it well, so he goes misunderstood for probably his entire life.

I quite loved both stories. I sort of felt that the ending of the first was a bit odd, like they tried to tie all loose ends, even if they didn't truly match (they had set up the stage for the Jinx and for the brother, but in the end they just made an appearance at the last pages). The story Merry Checker is a sidestory that talks about the work-sempai and his IRL meet. The second story was really nice, it would've been nice to see big brother waking up from the coma, writer-san going back to a no-longer-underage little brother, but it was still fine even without.

Two stories, both adorable in their own way. First one had a super adorable character, Akio, who seems to have his own story on Baby, I love you. While I was a bit put off by the intra-family relationship (I know it's something that is irrelevant for a couple with no plans to procreate, but it's still something I'm not quite comfortable with yet) and the fact that that not only was the older person probably over twice the age of the younger one, the latter is still underage (although I am aware age of consent is different in Japan, 16 is definitely too young in my book), Akio was still adorable enough to bump it to 5 stars xD The second story was a bit shorter, in all honesty, I was pretty annoyed with ALL the characters but the story that was created with them was still pretty cute :)

A funny version of the classic "switched bodies" trope. Akiyama is hot as fuck. It was hilarious that the older brother kept trying to not cause trouble for Mafuyu's body, while Mafuyu himself pretty much whored himself around and even became a gang leader with the entire school as his territory xD

Akane is such a good kid... Truly cute story :)

Guy enjoys his smoke breaks while he watches the good-looking and popular new employee that is rumored to be gay. Waaaah this was cut way too short! I think if I imagine the stories just as "the beginning of" I might end up less frustrated about the end.

Super cute story, I really respect Shio-san's outlook on liking people as people, regardless of gender. Miya-san was such an adorable tower of cuddliness :D The end felt like you could've expected more story afterwards... Sidestory to Sangen Tonari No Tooi Hito.

Gaaaah this was so difficult! Main story characters were just absolutely, incredibly adorable... But I really can't feel comfortable with a teenager being as physical with an elementary school student. At least on the second story, the older guy set a limit for that stuff until the kid was done with school.

Quite moving story about moving on after a truly remarkable and loved person has passed away. It's one of those stories that manage to move you even though you are already aware of the end.

Really funny story about a hopelessly kind prince and a not-very-skilled witch as they journey to find what will grant them their wishes. I would've loved an extra chapter telling about how they live together and to see Gar fall in love with him :)
