Nennen Saisai
Chap. 1 & 3.1-3.4: It's story is unique and quite deep that I actually enjoyed rereading. Poverty god started living with a horrible, useless yet pitiful guy. Is there a chance for this guy to change? Who knew but by his death he never did. Time-skip, modern times. An immortal man who is now a host sought the shinigami (and his death) for years but found love instead. And obviously.... THIS GUY IS THE REINCARNATION OF THE FIRST LAZY-ASS MAN! Now we see how he suited this era where you are able to earn money by using honeyed words and spin women around. And like the useless jerk that he is, it's befitting to die by getting stabbed by a woman. So shinigami arrived and his long name mysteriously resurrected him as if it's a powerful sutra... that has sustained his life for two decades. Now, the two immortal, lonely men will never be alone again. --------ɫ ⬧ ɫ-------- Ch.2: a very nice (and rare) slice of life story as told in the perspective of the son growing up figuring out the relationship between his dad and dad's 'friend'
Kozure Ookami (INOUE Satou)
⟫ Kozure Ookami > Ookami No Ketsuzoku. Page 1-71, 170-184: My favourite yaoi child-rearing manga. centered around taking care of the kids. great art, mature, heart-pinching story. #manly couple galore. yay. Nobody's a fake chick. Two amusing neighbors who had a lot in common. The hard life of a single father w/ a toddler on tow. Started getting cozy but they kept on bickering until it degenerated into stupid petty fights. Unfortunately, the son takes priority than his own lovelife so uke had to go away. Or so he claims as he ran away from his feelings. #reencounter proved that they are destined for each other. No more denial. (I could have used some little punishment for uke tho but I kind understand his hard position as a father. I guess the additional son is enough punishment for him) P. 185-end: Time jump omake, situated AFTER Ookami No Ketsuzoku. Akkun finally figured out the mystery of the back snuggles that Non claimed that he loves so much. --------ɫ ⬧ ɫ-------- *Story 2 (pg 74-153) They are both straight & perfectly alludes the title (Wolves), since both of them were manly and dominant. It's just funny how they decide who bottoms. nevertheless, how these two straight guys fell in love is beautifully well done. No girly, sparkly doki-doki shoujo-ish love, just plain manly love (bruhhh) which I appreciate so much amazing little sister - not just bec she's a fujoshi but she's been their cupid and gave them good advice. (I'D LOVE TO ASK FOR A COPY OF THE PIC SHE TOOK TOO) ./. *Story 3 (pg 154-169) : Lol Another one of those apartment that has an all-gay residents in. Just a simple oneshot about two gay couple who don't have anybody to turn to, as gay men who both have been thrown out of the house. They were going pretty strong just that they had this kink of pretend-cheating to make the other jealous and stage this pseudo-breakup when in truth, they just wanted to have an intense makeup sex. Second story synonpsis: FOR THOSE WHO FAIL TO UNDERSTAND (I don't it... Someone tell me. Are you girls too young to understand? It's your beloved fudanshi romance in a realistic way. And it's even properly narrated.) So we started up on a shocking sex scene in the mirror but on a closer look, it's a realistic yet SUPER AWKWARD experiment of two straight dudes who are were trying to figure out gay sex themselves. So the story rewounded back to three months ago of how they got acquainted. They got intrigued of the other at the get to and started to spend more and more time together and slowly, desired each other's companionship without other people. Not to mention they kept thinking/obsessing about the other guy when he's not there. All the while they thought it's normal friendship lol. What they didn't realize is they missed one big thing. That it could be possible to fall inlove with another man too. Not until (the fujoshi) little sister pointed it out on their face. But that's not the end of the problem tho. If anything, it's just the beginning. They're like newlyweds in honeymoon period. They're crazy for each other so much that their careers/businesses were taking a big hit. So they call it off. But that never put out the fire. A couple of weeks has passed by and seeing the reality that they have really broken up hit the bar manager. So he snapped and asserted his rightful place, which is beside businessman. On the other hand, businessman has also been thinking about them. Both tried moving on and he even got a gf but in the end, his feelings for the other man has grown this much. Touched with how the bar manager came back to him, he obliged the guy and told the girl to go away. (Really, even if the accident did not happen, sooner or later one of them won't be able to take it and just plan a way to get them back together). The pinnacle of the story is when they both searched in their minds how and when they fell inlove. rewind, rewind, rewind and we got back to the lighting of cigar. It's so poignant and sweet. And they lived happily ever after... with all those BL books that the girls around them were circulating too, hahaha.
Yume wo Miru Hima mo Nai
#college dorm life, #aviation school #FLUFF HEADS STAY AWAY (you'll hate seme). As straight as he is, he is slowly warming up to his dormmate until a night's flurry of revelation and figuring out that he might be in love but the guy is gone. fast forward to their working life, then a #reencounter and he was barraged with a ton of whatifs from the past. amazing manga with beautiful art. i recommend
Pet Shop of Horrors
practically the first paperback manga i bought. still one of the best for me, the one that started my appreciation for dark and psychological titles. and it's amazing and detailed art even in it's time is irresistible.
Love Song (yamagata Satomi)
It's okay. Not bad but not good either. It's uh... how to describe it floaty in it's ambiguity? sort of like how shoujo romance makes their story all flitting with a little bit of enigmatic atmosphere and stuff. SYNOPSIS: #band life + college. they started out good but it seems that living together 24/7 with just them and music is starting to mess up with their heads and hearts (uke, mainly) he doesn't know what's the difference between love and lust anymore. Stressed, it affected his music and relationship with the guitarist. #misunderstandings + #broken up but later both figured it out.
That’s Another Law Of Love
well, that was good. i wish it was longer
Uchi no Ouji Irimasen ka
Adorable story of a sheltered family prince/bocchama who enrolled to a public school for the first time. (RK is homeschooled) Nobody knows he's rich AF. He gained friends, experienced "interesting" common people things and even fell inlove. The process of how the two fell inlove and eventually confess is so cute. #cute friendship. i like their female friend. she is nice. feels like we're properly represented.
