fujomom's manga / #Shounen Ai(264)

So, I liked this, but I didn't LOVE it. It's VERY old school in the art style. It's about a boy who falls in love with another boy who's on the basketball team. He boldly declares his love immediately and vows to make the basketball boy love him back. The basketball boy is the inexpressive, detached type that doesn't hesitate to verbally cut deeply when he needs to. The characters are very static and unchanging, even though their relationship develops. The sex scenes are very glossed over and not much is shown at all, and what little is shown makes it seem kinda unpleasant. I didn't hate this but I'll never reread it, either.

I usually don’t care much for show biz mangas but this is pretty cute. Boy finds out another boy I’m scjool is a popular actor. The actor kisses him and then takes a picture for blackmail. He makes the boy do errands and other slave stuff, but when he realizes what a good guy he is and starts to like him he deletes the picture. The boy forgives him easily for blackmailing him and stays friends with him. But when another actor befriends the boy the actor gets jealous.

High school boy get help when he gets sick on the train and hunts down the guy who helped him, who turns out to be a good-hearted delinquent type. The boy befriends the delinquent but feels anxiety about not fitting in with his other friends.

Aww, why so short?? This was really cute! Minami was a delinquent until one day he gets a job at a bookstore. He starts to realize that he's falling in love with his older manager, and decides that persistence is the way for his feelings to get across. Cute and amusing, I really liked this! It's so short though, it feels incomplete!

So sweet. Gloomy author is visited by an exploring little kid who just can't leave him alone. Overtime the author becomes more attached to the kid until he misses him when he's gone. They're seperated when the boy moves overseas, but the boy promises to return one day and they keep in touch over the years until that time. This was really nice for age gap story. I hope there's another chapter of them being cute together!

This was so cute! I just couldn’t handle seeing a cat cry so I teared up repeatedly, I’m such a softie lol. This is about Ai, who comes from a family of cat shifters, who shift uncontrollably when they get sad. Ai is very sheltered and insecure, having only 1 friend outside of his family, so he tries to make friends with the guy sitting next to him in class. He succeeds a bit too well because the guy confesses to him. But the road isn’t smooth because of how insecure and naive Ai still is. I REALLY hope this gets more updates!

An interesting, slow moving story of two boys who get to know each other through jazz music. Seheon loves the piano and just wants to play so he sneaks off to a closed wing of the school to play. Taeyi smokes nearby and doesn’t want Seheon to play it because he’s reminded of his dead brother who also played jazz piano. Some of the relationships between characters are interestingly confusing,

Hmmmm.. kinda cute but pretty confusing. Boy kisses his friend, says he's serious about it, but then later on laughs when his friend expresses confusion about being liked by him and plays it off... At least that's how I read it anyway. I don't get it- so the dark hair guy does or doesn't like him???? Or he does like him but plays it off just to make his friend feel better?? Which is just depressing.

Cutesy fluffy story about two high school boys dating each other. The delinquent boy gets insecure when his boyfriend becomes a popular ikemen.

Teacher Ameya left his phone in his classroom and starts getting emails saying "I like you". He suspects they're from a student named Momoi, but tries to ignore them. Momoi is way too slick and knowing for a high schooler, toying with Ameya until he plays right into his hands.
