Special. This was a standout story. Beautiful characters, amazing art and a lovely, romantic story.

XXX Allergy

Complete | Hinohara Meguru | 2016 released

A rare thing, a oneshot that gets 5 stars. The adorable little bunnies were matched by the MCs; rabbit lover Shouhei and the fluffy and soft looking Mito Itsuki, who works in a rabbit specialty shop. The story had a lovely wholesome vibe that wasn’t diminished by uncensored sexy scenes and the artwork was lovely. Recommended reading.

Secret XXX

A full follow up to the oneshot XXX Allergy. Back with Mito and Shouhei (and their rabbits) as they deal with some of the inevitable things that come with being a new couple. Once again a fluffy, feel good story with beautiful art and adorable characters, this is definitely one to read and reread.

Oita ga Sugiru wa Koneko-chan

Complete | OGAWA Chise | 2015 released

Read after Kono Ore Ga Omae Nanka Suki Na Wakenai: spin-off Such a good story from Ogawa Chise. High school student Kyuta's second cousin is Etsuro, a calligraphy teacher and womanizer who for some reason sexually harasses him as well. When Etsuro has an injury, Kyuta stays at his home to help care for him as he recuperates. Their relationship slowly advances with the prickly Kyuta and teasing Etsuro negotiating old emotional hurts and future expectations. It’s a real age gap story, Etsuro is old enough to be Kyuta’s father, but it’s never something awkward because their relationship is already solid, and Etsuro has a vulnerability that is sweet whilst Kyuta is no pushover. I love this mangaka’s art and I loved this story.

Hana Tokidoki Kuma

Complete | SUMIYA Kei | 2020 released

This would have been the perfect fluffy manga except the ending was too abrupt. Not helped by poor uploading putting chapters all over the place. But the story premise, art and adorable characters made it simply wonderful.

Restart wa Tadaima no Ato de

Yamato is overjoyed to have someone his age around, and Mitsuomi quickly warms up to the ever smiling guy.

Their love story is very sweet, in that slice of life way that tells of seasons changing and friendship blossoming.

Shima-chan Chi no Tsugai Jijou

Complete | Mikkamita | 2019 released

Stories don’t get much better than this. Beautiful artwork, great characters who make sense being together, hot moments, interesting side characters, family, lots of love, and leaves you wanting more but still content. A feel good foray into the Omegaverse, highly recommended.

Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji

Complete | HATTA Ayuko | 2011 released

This was a wonderful story! Erika had such a sunny, outgoing disposition and Sata Kyouya was the epitome of a Black Prince with his ikeman looks and rather sadistic personality. But even when he seemed mean, Erika was very aware of the kinder guy beneath the mask. I liked that they were their authentic selves almost from the very beginning. I loved their friendship group and all the things they faced together over the years. Erika and Sata Kyouya we’re impossible to resist. One of the best shoujo I have read.

Blue, Black, Sky

Complete | LEE Kyung Ha | 2013 released

Brothers Jaegyung and Dohyun have always had a close bond as children of fighting parents. The older Dohyun had displayed autistic tendencies when he was small but he remembers the day Jaegyung’s voice reached him and Jaegyung remember him meeting his eyes for the first time. Sadly, when their parents divorced, the boys were separated for years, Donyun to stay with his father, Jaegyung with his mother. When they were reunited their close bond remained, but Jaegyung had moments of doubt and worry at their closeness. The asocial Donyun only cared about Jaegyung. Years later when they found out they weren’t blood brothers they had a chance to be together, but would they both reach out to grab it? I think the thing I liked most in this story was the depth of their bond and affection for each other. Donyun was more possessive and dangerous, but given that he is a high functioning autistic adult who has bonded with one person in his life, his rare moments of absence were readily understood. Really, a very good story overall.

Ashita kimi no mono ni shite

Complete | MIYAMA Kaoruko | 2021 released

Sweet, sweet love between two adorable friends. Quiet and reserved, Yuki is not looking forward to changing classes for senior year. That is until he met the sociable and friendly Hayato, a popular student who showed an interest in being friends. With a smile that could light a room, Yuki blossomed under the attention of the increasingly fascinated Hayato. This lovely story follows their friendship to romance story with the little bumps and misunderstandings that pop up along the way. The mangaka has a talent with making this pair feel like they lived in a special world of their own and for all that this was most definitely yaoi, it had a wholesome and fluffy vibe going on. Definitely highly recommended.
