tofu's manga / #Fave Author(95)

Nagisa Furuya can write about a rock and a stick and it would still be a great shounen ai work.

SO CUTE I WANNA CRIE O gosh why didnt i read this sooner? It's so rare to see this kind of portrayal about chubby characters? Like, usually the character loses weight first before the romance progresses, or it goes to a weird realm of feeder / fat fetish. This one is not like that at all. MC and ML got together when he was still chubby, and the weight loss happened gradually and naturally over the years without it being for the sake of romance. It highlights the excitement and anxiety of being in a first relationship in general rather than making MC's weight the main problem. I love it!

I'VE BEEN WANTING TO READ THIS SINCE FOREVERRRRR I CANT BELIEVE I FINALLY DID. Thank you, seriously, whoever uploaded this. I feel ashamed as hell because im unable to get the original copy--but i really enjoyed reading this. This author's works manage to immediately go to my favorite list every single time, so i'm always waiting for her new releases. Anyways. Great read, amazing chemistry between MCs, hilarious premise and banter. Love it so much.

Aaaaaaa this is so pretty!! The art! The atmosphere! The premise and character design! I loved this author's Gatapishi, so i'm really looking forward to this. Edit: heck...this ended up being one of my absolute favorites...what a godsend. I love everything about it. The relationship is great, i love friends to lovers and the ease and newness that come with the relationship's progression, and this manga certainly nails it. I want to see more of them geeking out together, though!

TW: drunk, dubcon Aaah cries I've never read something like this before. Both of MCs are in love and Very Horny for eo but that doesnt cloud their judgement (much, lol) and they take their time to treasure each other. Not only that, their banter and interaction is hilarious, sweet, and super fun to read. Also very worth mentioning: men with natural bodies and hair! Seems inconsequential but so rare and important to see that depicted in BL works. I'm so thankful to the author for creating a story like this! Ps. I wish the summary was better, the current one seriously fails to showcase the wholesomeness of this manga.

I wish this was longer and had gone for a complete dark route! It has SO much potential. Sadly, as it is, it's just kinda confusing and feels unfinished.

I really like the title and its tie to the significance of Jose's name. I don't really get what the author tried to tell with the story, but i enjoyed it nonetheless. I might be biased since this is one of my favorite authors ^^;;

Weird, but in a good way. I like it. The setting, the characters, and the art made me feel nostalgic. The whole manga has a good coming-of-age vibe (especially with the donny darko reference). Both of the MCs (mostly tomoyuki) are dramatic, but it's a degree that kinda makes sense for 16 year olds. They live and love so recklessly and endearingly. I wish the characters were fleshed out better tho, it would be really good to see them explored both as individuals and a couple.
