Kimi ni Koisuru Hazu ga Nai
Kitaoji, a salaryman, is an avid lover of shoujo manga but hides it in fear of being made fun of. Arima is his calm and collected co-worker who has been crushing on him for a long time. A chance encounter sets their sweet love story into motion!!
Omae no Yubi de Toroketara
Tomohiro, an advertising agent, needs to hire Jyo, his ex-classmate, for an important job. But he dislikes said ex-classmate a lot. Features prostate massages, great ass smut, a weird sort-of yet not-really fwb situation, photography, plagiarism of art, abuse of power by a person in authority, and really wholesome romance if I do say so myself ( ˘ ³˘)
Migite ni Miemasunoga, Ore no Kareshi de Gozaimasu
Just a really sweet feel-good love story between Miyata, a handsome tour guide who hates his job, and Shougo, a scraggly looking bus driver who's actually handsome but is hiding his appearance on purpose. Very lighthearted and sweet. (Bonus points because everyone is very casually accepting about homosexuality in this manga and being gay is seen as something very normal and average).
Kitto Oujisama ga Nante
So beautiful and sweet and wholesome. At some parts, I actually got emotional T_T I'm happy Sakura and Yusuke have each other ♡
Keisenjou no Cantata
2 stories in one. One is about an up-and-coming mangaka who falls in love with the mysterious senior who always wears gloves. Second is about two fanboys of said mangaka in the future (a fanfiction writer and fanartist). It was a light and mellow read. Simple and very very sweet.
Hitori to Hitori no 3650nichi
2 stories in one. Katsumi, guilt-ridden and traumatized from the past, resorts to violent sex as a coping mechanism. Maki, his old classmate and ex best friend, helps him heal slowly by slowly. Daiya is a wild city boy who goes to a village for a fresh change of perspective. There he meets and falls in love with Yusuke. Both stories were really great. The mangaka was really good at pacing and writing emotions and feelings well. The soft, mellow tone of the stories helped them to resonate with me even more. Definitely a great read.♡
Tonari no Metaller-san
Naked Sword and the Tree Peony of Black
I don't even know how many times I've re-read this but idgaf it's soooo fucking good. I really like Touma and Kengou's dynamics a lot. Their utter devotion to one another is sweet af. And I like the fact that everyone close to them (including Kengou's dad lmao) are so casually supportive of them :D I don't even know how many times I'll re-read this over and over again but it's just THAT enjoyable ≧ω≦
