Smells Like Green Spirit

Complete | Nagai Saburou | 2011 released

I liked this but it was pretty depressing. Not sad enough to make me cry but definitely a downer. This is a slice of life story about a girly boy in the country who gets bullied by a group of guys in his school. One of the bullies is secretly gay too and they become good friends (I really disliked how his life ended, with him apparently still in the closet). One of the bullies has a crush on him and the bullied boy ends up with him and it's nice, though I wish they'd had him in the story more so you could see more development between them. There's also a kinda pitiful, secretly gay teacher that almost rapes the bullied boy. I say pitiful because of the mini chapters of him at the end show him as a kid falling in love with another boy and facing hate because of that and having to deny that part of himself, which is what makes him warped as an adult.

Interesting! Childhood actors go to a school for actors together and end up getting roles where they're acting together. Sougorou at first hates Gensuke but then as his acting improves due to Gensuke's help he starts to like him. Then he's further thrown off guard when he starts to think Gensuke is in love with him. I felt really bad for him when he realized that Gensuke really meant that he liked him as an actor, poor Sougorou.

Hm, a quiet story about a guy who gets an on-site job (job with a dorm) to escape his sisters and save up money for his boyfriend. He sneaks out of the dorm with a handsome co-worker and goes to his boyfriend's house to discover him cheating on him.

Awww, precious. I don't even mind if the kid doesn't grow up and there's never any real romance. I enjoyed just seeing them be friends. Adorable. But I hope someone updates this someday...

Nice, slow manga about a band. A guy comes across a guy on a stairwell in school hugging a guitar with broken strings so he fixes it and decides to teach him how to play it. When the band guy hears him sing one day he's blown away and asks him to join his band. The problem is that the new guy's heart is broken and he's not quite ready to let go and move on. I liked this though it was slow and sad.

Really cute but the darker haired boy teases the blushing boy with an obvious crush on him way too much! Have mercy on him sometimes!

Sequel... no update in forever :( This is about a former bully who had been obsessed with a classmate since he was little and only recently realizes he actually likes him but is jealous because his classmate is in love with a former teacher.

First few chapters are about businessmen in a relationship. It started out promising with the manager getting drunk and making the moves on the main character, but it got pretty boring after that, to be honest. Then there's a one shot about reunited childhood friends, one of them became a monk and the other one feeels like he was abandoned. The there's another one shot about a a guy who was confessed to by another guy in high school, who's reunited with him in college. These stories were all just ok for me, nothing special or all that interesting.

Super cute and fluffy! I bought this manga off Amazon and read it through my kindle app. Minoru finds out his brother is in a gay relationship with a teacher and is shocked. Mostly shocked because he thinks his brother's childhood friend, Seto, is secretly in unrequited love with him and thinks Seto is much better. Minoru and Seto get closer and start dating. So cute. Then at one point the Minoru is afraid Seto might be cheating on him with his brother and teams up with the teacher to find out the truth. This was so cute I read it twice and just talking about it makes me want to read it again, tbh.
