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

⟫ Signal > Arashi no Ato > Hatsukoi No Atosaki. Series of working men who knew each other. 〗 〚 This is Nishina's story, after he and Sakaki broke up. 〛 Character Diagram http://www.mangago.me/home/photo/1884683/ The high school period flashbacks gave it a fluffy feeling and it's seamlessly distributed within the current scenes. And then we go back to it's contrasted recent times where a lot of innocence was already replaced with betrayal, lies and distrust. This is a follow-up of what happened to Nishina after splitting with Sakaki. #salaryman uke who is a closeted bi-curious coward x a jaded gay #cafe owner / barista.

❵ Signal ❵ Arashi no Ato ❵ Hatsukoi No Atosaki〚 Sakaki's story, Ashihara's other gay BFF〛 Straight uke x gay seme. Seriously my favourite book. It touches on sexuality issues & how different people view it as. Sakaki (seme) has a distaste for het men but found himself falling for this straight guy. Love the pacing. Miyama is an asshole here but IDC about him, he's just plot device (go angst over your own manga, man)

⟫ Kozure Ookami > Ookami No Ketsuzoku. Ch.1-2: couple is the grown up children from kozure ookami. #kind seme #long haired seme has always liked #older uke while the latter is stucked in an #unrequited love. #reencounter after moving out of the parent's house. (Somehow I sort of expected that one of them would turn out straight) ch.3-5: son of an #inn-owner, #bi-racial #ane-san/effem bearded seme x harsh #megane uke who #had a wife. #love triangle with the seme's former lover started at chap.4

⟫ Hana no Mizo Shiru > Hana no Miyako de > Hana No Migoro Ni A direct sequel of mizo shiru. Just a simple visit to seme's family did not end with just that. Nice glimpse of family life #live-in, #proposal #sequel of a manga

One of the best manga with an adult seme who despite his appearance is actually more proper. Quite realistic age gap BL story.

the sagami yakuza group universe: ⟫ Love or Pride > Blind Love > Bittersweet Cafe. Yakuza bocchama seme x uke is a part-timer at the restaurant handled by the clan. some small-time yakuza family squabbles. #kind seme x #beautiful uke omake: future manga in the same timeline as bittersweet cafe, a grown-up megumi.

⟫ Mirai no Kioku > Kaze no Yukue. teacher x teacher, co-workers, opposite personalities. seme is a traditional japanese man (and formerly straight man who wanted marriage at that) but uke is a modern guy who has low opinion of commitment in the first place so ofc, problems. And that made it in a lovely, lovely story. This mangaka really is my goddess. Perfect execution, touching story, amazing sex and beautiful art.

⟫ Mirai no Kioku > Kaze no Yukue. straight seme x gay uke. / teacher x teacher, co-workers. heartbreaking problems of a gay man refusing to fall for a straight guys. (and here he goes again.) Seme is still confused and tried to steer back the normal (het) path. One of my favourite rereads from my mangaka goddess Kunieda

A light-hearted out-of-the-closet manga that dealt with the every life of happily divorced couple and later on, the divorced dad's and uke's families fun enmeshed life. And how the kid in-between them is faring. I appreciate that the former husband & wife still became friends. It can take a whole lot of class to keep it cordial unless you are both accepting. In all actuality, it can also get messy like this in real life. Not for the narrow-minded. Again, this is an out-of-the-closet manga.
