takame's manga / #slice of life(352)

An innocent bumbly first love. Takes you back. Very good with great characters and cute storytelling with a dash of thoughtfulness. non-smut

goodness. MAKI-PERVERT RETURNS! And as usual with his weird hentai tastes, that smut is never so boring with him, much less scary even with a ghost in tow. LOVE IT!

shop: working in his family's #alcohol/sake shop #reencounter after 6 years. went to britain for study. A tight knit little town where news travels fast... And get twisted around in hilarious ways. It's cute and quite funny, the meddlers are amusing and so all over the manga that they make a warm and cozy atmosphere. Poor seme tried to keep his feelings at bay but with uke back, he's having difficulty.

It's beautiful. Light and fluffy with a good plot structure. Moreever, for a BL manga, it's touching and heartwarming. I gotta praise the mangaka for featuring a disabled person in her story, plus the characters are well rounded too, not just some cardboard people. Also features character growth. #friendship: yeah, friendship is also covered in this manga. glad to see that the mangaka actually put them in a world where people actually exists and are alive instead of just some 2d extras.

ch. 1-3, 6: the all too calm and all to relaxed seme that I always like lol #childhood friends to lovers. neat freak. ch. 4-5: brother-in-law x widower. poor college boy in this unrequited love for years.

#UNDERRATED. Don't let the cover drive you away! you'll miss out something good. It's actually sad, dark and somewhat realistic. What a trans suffers from the inside, hating self, hating others... he can't come to terms w/ himself falling inlove with an oji-san loser and his crossdressing that he suffered for more than a decade of denying who he is. warning: age gap couple creepy-ass "perfect" parents fear of society's judgment fabulously out in the end!

Sweet! too sweet! Everyday lives of lovers living together. It all started with the seme and calling each other as their own cat and dog respectively and things got cozy. Isn't there any more perfect seme than pochi? 2nd couple, starting from ch. 3. the friends of the MCs. they are so funny and cute battling for the Mc's little sister's affection like that but the girl know better lol. TBH I really like their pairing even more than the first. #secondary pair syndrome

⟫ Family Simulation > Himitsu no Love Sensation (related) NEW w/teenage masaki. Ch. 1-3 & 7: Due to circumstances, poor grad student has to take care of his little nephew but then #reencountered a rich childhood friend (whom he had an "unusual" past with) after a decade at least. Decided to live together for 2 mos to save money but his ass is in danger!. #kind, caring seme x housewife-y uke. .//. ch. 4-6: University lab romance. I thought the first story is funny but this one is funnier! I'm dead at the handsome weirdo's antics. His weirdness is so amusing especially how he pursues the creeped-out younger seme. SYNOPSIS: Now that he's started doing his thesis, Soushi has been working hard. Truth be told, their lab's most brilliant student is a big help to him it's just that the guy is kind of... weird and creepy. And it seems like Takami enjoys perving at him he don't know whyyy.

lol the very stylized shoujo art confused me i had to reread it all. SO! let me explain for others. SYNOPSIS: A serendipitous meeting at a train left Okada with a familiar feeling he can't put a finger on. Starting that day, he can't get the smaller guy out of his mind but Yoshikuni kept being cold to him which he later learned why. So, smaller one (yoshikuni) has actually been crushing on okada since middle school but is thankful that they live separate lives and did not became friends (bec he doesn't want to be friendzoned). #reencounter 3(?) years later and he still like the guy. Finally, Okada turned his way and noticed him. He wanted for them to be more and this sudden attention from Okada made him hope for more that is why he said not to be kind to him because he (okada) doesn't understand a thing. Still, their feelings finally met so it's all cute and sweet. *chap. 4: TIME JUMP. okada's best friend's POV. (On the other hand, THIS guy stay in the friendzone.) Started the story in time jump, they were now adults and Yoshikuni shoot up in height. asahi (okada) and yoshikuni were now living together. Yoshikuni (rei) started acting odd when Fujishiro (seita) came back to japan. Yoshikuni knew that the best friend is holding a flame for his boyfriend since high school so he's troubled. However, Asahi had no idea what is the silent tension between his boyfriend and bestfriend and he's frustrated with both. In the end, seita still chose to protect their friendship while rei got over his weird jealousy mood and the couple resolved it w/o unnecessary drama because they are cute and lovey-dovey. And seita can keep his silence forever. That would be best for all. (though i hope the mangaka make something about him properly falling inlove with another guy tho)

lol I don't know if I'm going to call the girls very open-minded or just pervs with the way they egg their boyfriends to sleep with each other. it's funny at the start but it became introspective, dark and deep along the middle ending in a bittersweet note. this is probably the most detailed and thoughtful friends-to-lovers story. it started from their college days until now that they had their own lives as adults and they are still so ambiguous and entangled with each other as ever.
