Suki ni Nacchau yo.
Yul (Yurugi) creates an AI that he gives out (to test and further develop through learning and conversation) to a retired developer, Manaka sensei. Story follows both slowly falling in love with sensei in different ways. Yurugi is so fortunate to be so little concerned with the jealousy and ill wishes of others, as to not even notice his classmates ganging up on him. But he is luckier still for being surrounded by such capable and kind people like Manaka sensei, Seiki senpai and his professor. I am really glad they managed to protect DD, I was actually on the edge of my seat about that. This is so unique, as far as stories go, and their relationship is so wholesome and grounded. My heart breaks for Manaka sensei who had his work stolen in the past, though. Wish there could have been some repercussions. 5
Yoake no Joshou
Kiichi comes over to stay at Niina's place until the term is over. On the surface, they are just strangers in the same class, barely interacting, except for acknowledging each other as much as two nice people who are unceremoniously thrown together would. On the surface. At it's core, though, their relationship is so much more, more than they themselves dared to dream. Kai Kiichi, you confident fucker, you!! I am so proud of this dude, like, he's the one, bruhhh! Look at him go after what he wants, damnnnn. And Niina, is such a nice dude, who wouldn't want him to be happy?? Who wouldn't want them to be happy? And Niiina's parents and family are the absolute best too, apparently. I love this so much, like, this is just superb. Really, really good. 5! 5: Story about Koichi, Kiichi's doting elder brother, and his boss, Arun. About realising how someone else's regard for you can pull you right in, when it's just the right person. Enjoyed it. Again, both really likable characters. This mangaka is on a roll. 4.8
