Satori-kun to Tsundere-kun

Ongoing | yodogawa yuo | 2019 released

This is so good!!! This author loves to have supernatural elements in modern settings (self declared). And they're great at it!! Hilariously, they also speedrun their couples to having sex in ch1 almost 100% of the time. But they always have a reason for it, however contrived. Their writing just happens to click with me, and that's pretty fantastic.

Seishun Radio Pinchers

Complete | tachibana mizuki | 2019 released

Interesting unique setting. Kind of low energy though? It had some good romance development and it's nice how much the robotics theme is focused on. Very wholesome

Capture Me With An Expert Kiss

Complete | KATOU Susu | 2000 released

So straightforward! Uke knows what he wants and isn't afraid to take the lead to get it. Steamrolls stereotypes in order to have a funny romance that starts with lust and immediately catches feelings lol.

Saiai nante yuzurimasen/ I won't give up on my beloved!

Ongoing | Suzaka shina(art) | 2022 released

It's been a bit too long since I read this series, I'm not super attached anymore. This is basically just alive of life drama to get the main couple living together. Translation is not that good, which diminished the overall enjoyment.

Mata Ashita

Complete | machiya hatoko | 2006 released

A sweet collection of one and two chapter stories!

Koicha No Osahou (tea For Two)

Complete | sakuragi yaya | 2003 released

Reread! Can't go wrong with Sakuragi Yaya. Expressions and story always have more layers than average. This feels a bit like Classmates upon rereading, just shorter.

Motomete Yamanai

Complete | Sangatsu Masao | 2000 released

I thought it was a joke from the list comment that the top is autistic, but no he literally is! Interesting wrinkle to a short, cute story. The two extras getting together in the afterword was also hilarious.

Ato Hitoiki De Ai

Complete | masao sangatsu | 2011 released

One shots and 2-3 ch mini stories. The one shots were better than the last one, which never quite landed for me. It has the lightest of dubcon (the 'what have I done' trope) and the receiving character is bafflingly dense when it comes to sharing feelings, and this is never explained or justified. The others were fine. The art is very nice! Unique style of expressions, and inclusion of comedy.

Kare to kare no ijiwaru na kyori

Complete | Narusaka Rin | 2000 released

Nah, the spinoff with Masa is no better. Tsundere is no fun.

Zantei, Koibito

Complete | AKIBA Touko | 2000 released

This one has all kinds! Most of it is the office couple, flowed by some oneshots. It's pretty matter of fact about it, once the characters accept their feelings, there's no going back haha. Refreshing in that way.
