https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/19202503/ I honestly love this more natural, relaistic story. The characters feel realisitc and have their own struggles in life, which makes them feel incredibly detailed and endearing. And the overall story of both of them are well written and make for such a great heal-each-other story if matched up. Character designs are awesome and the art is nice. I was honestly hoping for another creepy moment after that sleepwalking scene. This artist has decent skill in portraying creepy moments! Would like more of that. Despite being a scaredy cat. XD As for the westerner outrage going on. No matter your personal opinion about the tanning remark in the comedy extra chapter: That's just nonsensical and silly to judge a story for and it's sad people actually give this well written story a low score because of one remark they think they need to white knight for asians (who generally do not care about these remarks, unlike westerners, from what i have heard over the years). Judge the story, not one sentence, if giving a score. Because this is precisely actions that make ratings so useless these days, which is not a good thing in case that needs mentioning. ╥﹏╥

Koi De Wa Nai to Omoitai

First of all: the artwork is often giving me Boku No Hero vibes. Which I love~ Good artwork, interesting yet simple story. And realistic too! I would honestly love seeing more of them. They have a such a natural and realistic way of acting and thinking, not making a big deal out of things guys would not make a big deal out of. I really REALLY need more of these realistic guy BLs. <3 I would love seeing them dating, prepare for college or such and living together. Encountering many different things in life and just casually sliding through life to a grand happy ending. And I say this as someone who doesn't care for seeing the slice of live, already-a-couple, part of love stories. So I think that's something. XD Both of them are interesting but I can see how maybe the author didn't have much more ideas for them and that's why it's just a short story. It works well as one, that's for sure. Which makes me think this might be a good anime candidate. Would give the genre some more positive rep and be a simple, easy to digest plot. Definitely worth a read for those looking for something absolutely drama free and non-dramatized (the latter being very important btw, this is so rare). A nonchalant little love story worth reading I would say. :)

This was just getting good, don't let it end!!!! (/TДT)/ These two are just such lovely characters! And the overall story is incredibly intruiging. It's a shame this finished as it did. I would have loved to see them explore their relationship more, being all awkward and adorable, and practicing powers or having encounters that make them trigger or earn control. I would LOVE a sequel! Which is a rare occurance for me, but this story really has potential for a longer series. This is a really lovely story, not entirely but close enough to a must read. Tho this depends on taste maybe. I for one find it really interesting and worth every minute. :)
