A Prince in a Luxurious Mansion

Complete | Matsumoto Yoh | 2000 released

Actually pretty good! Translation was a bit off, but not enough to really harm the story. Also has a some spicy realistic angles in the extra chapter.

Tasogare Outfocus

Complete | Janome | 2019 released

4* for cliche underagexteacher backstory. Other than that, 5*! Really short tho.

Tasogare Outfocus Overlap

Complete | Janome | 2022 released

A very cute and necessary coda to Tasogare Outfocus. <3 I hope this makes it into the anime as well!

Koiiro Soft Focus

Complete | Janome | 2000 released

Another spinoff chapter for Tasogare Outfocus

Waraibanashi No You Da

Complete | janome | 2012 released

Ehhhh this was just okay. The art makes it hard to tell them apart at first, and Izumi's constant worrying got annoying. I feel like Shinoya could've reassured him more intensely or something, in response to how much Izumi's worries. The stoey just feels unbalanced somehow. It's realistic in that Shinoya was waiting for Izumi to change and notice they felt the same about each other, but then it just wallows in Izumi's uncertainties too much for my taste.

Zanzou Slow Motion

Ongoing | Janome | 2019 released

I love this story now! It's been the gift that keeps on giving. I'm really curious to see how much of the manga makes it into the anime.

Yoiyoi Monologue

Complete | Janome | 2020 released

This series is so satisfying! Having read all four volumes now, Janome has a preference for sensitive tops and assertive bottoms. Overall is really nice to see characters who aren't so easily defined by their 'roles', and the care they take to recognize and support each other through insecurities. Someone commented the are reminded them of Classmates, and it does have a similar vibe. A satisfyingly loose artistic expression (though not nearly as loose as Classmates), and an emphasis on slice of life storytelling that builds romantic tensions and resolution through regular, everyday interactions.

Kasenjiki RomiJuri Kousou Kyoku

Complete | tobi washio | 2019 released

Ughhhhh got dropped and then someone started machine translating it :/ I think it's finished, but there's probably an epilogue extra missing. Too bad, this is a really great delinquent romance. April 2025 - someone picked this up! Gonna have to reread, I forgot everything lol. 5/11/25 - finished it! RomiJuri is cute, smexy, of course everything ends up fine. Ch 5 is a hilarious one shot of two tops that end up topping *each other* because they don't want to break up. Nice.

Wonderful Days?

Complete | tenzen momoko | 2008 released

Typical unrequited-to-requited roommates scenario. The oneshot "Guilt" was interesting though.
