Nichijousahan Bi - Beautiful Life
I liked this a lot but it felt like there was zero resolution. The slow development, the emotional growth and everything was nice. The seme is super hot, in a stoic, very masculine kind of way, which is nice. It ends with the poor, depressed, abused uke quitting his horrible bar job and going to live with the restaurant owner, single father seme. That's nice and all but it wasn't enough. I'd be more happy if there was at least a declaration of feelings and, optionally, a sex scene.
Hand Which
Multiple stories. 1)Guy gets dumped and gets super drunk with a group of friends, declaring that he’ll just become gay. Then he wakes up in bed with one of his friends who tells him he’s always been gay and had a crush on him. 2) A friend of the first couple is down because he had feelings for the gay friend but never said anything. He ends up having sex with a different friend and falls for him. Would’ve like this story more if the uke didn’t already have a girlfriend when they hooked up. Food stall owner grows obsessed with a customer when he’s trying to please his picky eating habits. Customer tries to put space between them When he thinks he’s falling for the food stall owner, but the worried owner can’t leave him alone. High school boy falls for gay 30s photographer. Photographer comes off a bit creepy because of the age gap.
Tear Drop
This was just ok for me. Guy meets an anonymous guy through a dating website and they start off have no a equal relationship that grows very serious. I was meh about the art style and meh about the very immature acting uke. There’s an interesting chapter in here about a struggling actor and his admiring stalker.
Irony Dress ni Sayonara
So good. 29 year old Meguru moves into his recently deceased mother's apartment and gets to know the high school boy next door, Keiichi, who came out of the closet to his mom and who's been wearing a skirt. He doesn't really want to wear it but does it to make his mom happy, who's confused about what the right thing to do is. They bond over both being gay and they have just an innocent friendship until one day Meguru sees Keiichi half-undressed and gets turned on. The development of their relationship feels both realistic and super adorable!
Shitasaki ni Yoake no Aji
Hm, this is mostly about a couple ramen obsessed guys, one who owns a recently opened ramen shop and the other one who has a very keen sense of taste. They try to perfect the shop's ramen and make out along the way lol I ended up liking this WAY more than I expected to!
Atatamete Kureru Hito.
Divorced hair stylists becomes friends with a convenience store/culinary student. At first they just bond over sharing meals together but as they fall in love they become more possessive of each other, until the convenience store worker confesses his love and throws the divorced guy into confusion. The art style is that rough sketchy kind but the characters come off very expressive anyway.
Netsushintouritsu
Cute and amusing, though I’d like to see more emotional development between the two guys, especially the seme. One college boy gets close to another college boy because he’s concerned about how cool his body temperature is. They are cute together and bicker, then one day the cool one purposes they screw to raise his tempterature. I would’ve liked this more if it seemed less like the seme did it on a whim and because of attraction.
Hush (Today)
Juhyun sees his best friend, Jisoo, arguing/kissing another boy and realizes that Jisoo is gay. While attempting to get a girlfriend he overcomes his shock and realizes that his feelinds for Jisoo have changed. Nice, slow plot.
Kitaru Harekake no Ashita yo
Two guys work together in a junk collecting business, one fixes stuff and one does the computer work. There's obvious some kind of complicated past between them, the long-haired guy is especially effected by it. Then one day someone has them some collect... a young boy?? Interesting. I hope this gets updated sometime....
