cmdrbanger's manga / #classmates(58)

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.

I read it! It's cute, a little too short, but I guess that's fine. The romance develops by accident between new college friends while they both (mistakenly) think they have feelings for a third friend. Not bad! Note to self: it's apparently a love triangle, but read it anyway - skipped to the extra chapter and it seems alright. Art is great!

This was so confusing to follow and too thin on character details to be interesting or satisfying.

Very cute shounen ai. There's a B couple developing between the friends of rhr main couple, and they got a sequel volume!

Eh, the most interesting part was the potential for a relationship with Shinya instead. (obviously the nice B guy lost lol) He reminded me a bit of Makoto (Free). Still, there was also good resolution for Jousei and Motoki, especially since they made up publicly so they didn't even hide their relationship in the end. Very progressive!

5/27/25 Hm... I feel my standards shifting maybe. I didn't like this story at all, really. Misaki is the bottom by default because... He's the more passive one? The prettier one?? I'm just not into that rn. I think his attitude is also kinda boring. Like we barely know how he actually feels until the very end, and then it's over.

Cute with a huge helping of slapstick. The shocked expressions are so deadpan, and the way neither guy is able to hide their embarrassment when the story needs them to be honest is great. Could be better if it was a little longer so the slapstick pacing isn't so fast. 9/3/25 Reread! Still very fast, but it's cute. I'm convinced Taka must be or know gay men, or something. Or the translation just makes it feel more directly 'gay', idk. But the way sex is drawn also kinda seems like it? Especially that the bottom always seems openly enthusiastic, and gets to wrap their legs around the top to show it. That's definitely less common that you'd think in BL manga. Oh whoops I was mistaking them for the same author as the Leo and Shion manga... Hm, but they're still good! I think the janky faces are part of what makes it so enjoyable. They don't feel like perfect models, more like just a couple of guys.

10/28/25 I'm sure this was a reread. Very cute and leaning into the emotions of the relationship developing. The main story is chs 1-5 and 8. Liked the ch 7 side story as well. Ch 6 is wierd uncle incest yaoi lol. I don't understand that trope tbh. Ch 7 is also wierd brother incest yaoi, but at least it's unrequited and in the past.
