Otoko Yamome Mo Hana ha Saku
A super wholesome age gap romance! No sex in this one. It's similar to one of the side stories in Classmates, in that the older one is a dad and reconnects with his daughter. It's very sweet!
Online Game Nakama to Sashi Off shitara Shokuba no Onijoushi ga Kita.
Cute! Has a sequel I think, licensed but maybe not translated. 3/31/25 - read up to Vol 3. It's still cute! The comedy of errors about who likes who is practically Shakespearean.
Machigitsune to Hito no Ko
Cute! Read this one before.
Horeta Otoko wa Shin'yuu de
THIS IS IT! THE FINAL FORM OF BL+FRIENDS TO LOVERS!!! Absolutely god tier portrayal of friends to lovers Heavy on the sex, but the confession scene is the best I've ever read, ever.
Soko Ni Suwaru Na
First story: one-sided consensual poly, but I assume the gf didn't know Maki had Hayama on the side, and Hayama was brokenhearted when it ended. Second stoey: fake dated as kids to protect another kid from bullying, didn't notice feelings until they decided to 'break up'. An unusual scenario, but didn't explore anything particularly interesting once they got older.
Sorenari ni Shinken nandesu
It's not especially different from other similar stories except in length. It takes its time to tell the whole story slowly, and that DOES make a difference. It gets me in the feels when Oosawa hugs Chizu goodbye. This was a reread, probably my second time.
Hito Wa Naze Hataraka Nakerebanaranai No Ka
The last one (Call Me) was the best! Actually very sweet and throughtful alongside the comedic tone.
Nikushokujuu No Table Manner
So confusing! The panels are hard to follow, and lots of same face makes it hard to tell the characters apart.
Fukufuku Heights
Cute and short but pretty plain. Slice of life shounen ai, *almost* without any evidence that the characters are even dating.
