just_m3h's manga / #unrequited love(307)

Hinata's always been in love with his childhood friend Hakuba, who already has a super cute and tiny boyfriend, the exact opposite of Hina. Takaomi, the leader of Hina's boy group finds out about his unrequited love. Lackluster and disappointing ending to a plot with potential. Plus, the way he never even found out about Hina's love... where's the closure, bruh?? 4.4 Edit: Oh! It was falsely labelled as completed. And it's super interesting??

The perfect and well loved senpai Kanzaki, returns home after a 5 year placement in Malaysia, to find that his old love (Futagami) and prostitute he used to buy, whom he left behind without much of a goodbye, now works in his office! Futagami appears to hate him, his own past and sex in general. Will the bitterness prevail? Kanzaki really is almost the perfect man. Diligent, passionate, loyal to a fault, competent and a gentleman, through and through. They were so painful together, I almost wished they hadn't gotten back together. But can you imagine? They would have carried those torches for the rest of their lives. I know people like Kanzaki. They don't forget. I love, absolutely love that Futagami turned his life around. Worked so hard to overcome the horrors of his past. I love them together, I love them individually. I just love them. Be happy, guys 5

Nishihiro has been in unrequited love with his only friend, Nakano, for a while. Nakano never notices, but someone else does... I didn't really love this one. Between Nakano actually having strong feelings for Nishihiro after all, and them being just a good match as Nishihiro and Kutou are, I just felt sad. It made me feel bittersweet. The art looked like they were in uni, a bit mature for high school. Anyway, not my favourite. 4.4

1: Maki was rejected harshly by his bestfriend Maki during their high school graduation. They meet a decade later and Maki realises Katsumi's been punishing himself in the most awful way, for his words that broke Maki's heart. It was just fucking painful? Like, even if they're together now, it's just so painful. That he endured all that, thought himself irredeemable. It's just so horrible. 4.5 4: Daiya is a city boy whk decides to move to the countryside for a couple months on a whim, makes a reserved but adorable friend (Yuusuke) and stays too long without even realizing it. This one was lively but alsi made me annoyed. That was clearly 100% consent, bruh, wtf? Leaving the poor dude alone without a word because you think you took advantage of him in what was clearly consensual sex? Yeesh! 4.4

Richi acts over the top flamboyant and flirty with his childhood friend Sakuma, to hide all his real "I love you"s behind jokes. Things happen and Sakuma ends up asking him out. Once they start dating, Richi realises how far he's dug himself in... It was truly heartbreaking, when he realised he couldn't make Sakuma see the deapth of his feelings. Glad to see their lives after high school and college, I needed that stability. Sakuma better be treasuring the shit out of him >.<

Ew, gross. No.

Uyama has been in love with his bestfriend, Sakyou, for years. Sakyou walks in on him masturbating to him and slowly starts to realise Uyama's feelings and his own. It was a good manga. Plot was basic, but with just the right amount of angst, and just one interfering 3rd party, who wasn't even that annoying. What was annoying was the bloody format! Why on earth would the author make two sometimes contradicting and sometimes overlapping versions?! It was just absurd! Put me off the story, and the 6 year time leap and missing their first time together, all sucked. 4.45

Minoru adopts Fuutarou, the orphan left behind after his parents who are in debt to Minoru's money lending business flee, leaving Fuu chan behind. For a yakuza, he sure is kind and yielding. He's really better off washing his hands clean, just like his kid bro. Really want to read the kid brother's story too. Overall enjoyed it. From the consent to the sweetness. Not typically my cup of tea, puppy semes, but enjoyed it, nonetheless. 4.6

Hakaze acts the bad boy to catch the eye of student council president, Mizuki. Hakaze and Mizuki are so freaking wholesome, whaaat? And Mizuki is so innocent, it's kinda endearing how smart yet innocent he is. His reactions are refreshing (though not for me, too young). 4.5 Tachibana makes Kota his sex friend in the guise of rehabilitation but they end up falling for each other. These were good but they felt too young. Looked it too. Couldn't really get into it. 4.5

Kitaoiji, a high specs salary man, longs for a shoujo manga like love. If only he would get his head out of the clouds and realise his colleague Arima is head over heels for him. It was okay. I don't get why it's rated so high. It was my preferred uke, and the plot was basic but I would usually be interested. This, though, felt bland. 4.45
