These two are so cute and sweet. Besties for three years and the h has practically friend zoned the H, but he's still hanging in there. The art is cute and works really well with this story. The smexy scenes just look so silly though, not very hot. But this isn't about the heat factor, it's more about how these two finally get on the same page and confess their love to one another. Kaede is pretty dense when it comes to how much Jun is into her. I love that Jun is a total geek about everything and is a bit stalkerish when it comes to Kaede. The ability to enter other people's dreams is the catalyst that gets the ball rolling for Kaede to see Jun as a man, not just her geeky friend/coworker. It's low on drama, just the right amount to keep it interesting and fun. This is definitely a re-read, so it's worth the tickets.

Gawd! This is such a deeply interwoven story of the lives of four unusual people who live their lives to the best of their abilities. Ken and Juli are high school sweethearts still learning about one another, trying to get better at verbal communication, but are definitely getting the hang of hanky panky times, darn teenagers! But they're so sweet and pure. Then there's Ken's mom and Juli's older brother who are so similar in their livelihoods, that they are deeply drawn to each other, yet still haven't gotten anywhere close to a friendship even. Then there's all these side characters that make up the rest of this rich story. At times it can be a bit confusing about why they are all drawn together and so far with only 2 volumes out we're left hanging on what is happening. But it's so beautiful in its portrayal of all the different kinds of love we share and how it drives us to go on. Title is aptly named and I'm anxiously waiting for this to continue, if ever. Keeping fingers crossed.

This has it all. The art is so nice and the story is refreshing. Kazumi has zero experience with men and falls so hard for Sato who is a bit of a player who is also a bit jaded about love and relationships. For him women are just for smexy times and women just use him for his looks and status, all pretty sad stuff. My heart was breaking for Kazumi b/c she just bared herself to him over and over again. When his cold little heart finally started to feel for her I was like yes! Finally! And then once he realized he was in love with her too, he goes all alpha "she belongs to me!" and is a total sweetie to her, as he should be! Love them together and I'm looking forward to the coworker and Sato's former high school gf getting closer too! Can't wait for everything to unfold. So good! It's a keeper!

Omg the art is uhmazimg!! The story is so good. A young woman with dreams of being a mangaka, but sucks at drawing, such is life. Also has the worst taste in men, they typically just use her and she allows herself to be treated poorly. Definitely a bad case of looking for love in all the wrong places. But that is all behind her, because she is now completely 100% infatuated with her gynecologist, who is super rude and has poor social skills, but I found myself rooting for her to get with him, just because in a way all of his hot and cold behavior made her do a lot of self reflecting and she was making necessary steps to becoming a stronger woman. He in turn was learning that he needed her to become a better person as well. It's called growth and sometimes the person who is destined to be your partner in life will make you grow as a person. I also loved that all of the men who showed Makoto interest were completely genuine, nice guys who really cared for her and her well being. Loved it

I'm already addicted to this manga! It's so cute. Iori is a 25 yo tomboy working at a cute cafe who is constantly comparing herself to other women who seem to be the epitome of feminine charm. Don't know why, since she's as cute as a button, but I'm guessing we'll get more backstory on her lack of confidence later on. She's got a big time crush on the pastry chef, Sato, who is an absolute dreamboat. He's constantly getting confessed to, but never goes out with any of them, huh? This gets to the smexy times pretty quick and it's pretty hot, but our girl isn't prepared at all for all of Sato's ahem, attributes. Can't wait to continue reading about their newfound love proceeding from that little awkward snafus towards the end of the first installment. Art is super nice too! Liking this immensely.

I'm a sucker when it comes to this mangaka's work. It's so fluffy cute! It feels good. But even though it heavily implies that the guy is pretty serious about the girl with his actions and words, I'm greedy and want more about whether or not he's been with other girls, when it's so clear that the girl has zero experience. Just my little quirk. All in all this one was a cute frenemies to lovers, awkward young people realizing that they've always liked one another romance. The art is adorable. The second story is cute too, along the same lines as the first, the guy teases the girl he likes. Teasing can be a little confusing for the person who is being teased. Does he really like me? He can be so mean, it's not possible, right? But from personal experience, I too only tease the one I like, because I like them. It's elementary, but satisfying in a twisted way.

This one is too sweet! High school sweethearts for years, but because of his line of work they keep their appearance together hidden, sad. But when they're together they are just the cutest! I loved their interactions with one another, so typical of being in a long term relationship, but keeping it hidden from others kinda adds a bit of spice, because otherwise they're pretty vanilla. The fact that rumors were spreading around her was the catalyst needed to get their relationship to the next step, something she had given up on. Loved that this time we get more of a HEA. The way they got together in high school is so cute too! He's always been popular, but always had a crush on her too!

What do you get when you pair a socially awkward, yet beautiful older woman with a young handsome playboy? Crazy, intense and fast chemistry that's what! Spoilers!!!The h, Ayako is a virgin, surprise surprise! And that just makes Yuki more into her and while he usually only gets with girls that throw themselves at him, her pureness and naivety is driving him crazy, causing him to pursue her. In the staff locker room of all places. The art is cute and the artist does a really good job at portraying Yuki as this cute younger guy with his big hopeful eyes. Easy to understand why all the ladies want him. He doesn't seem like a jerk (so far), just young, dumb and full of...ya know that old saying

This mangaka is a genius! She's so not shying away from totally bizarre and outlandish characters, something all of her books have plenty of. This one was sweeter than the other two works on this site. I loved the first couple. The boss was such a horny and strange man, but held on to hope that he would win his guy over for like six months! That's loyalty right there. I laughed so much at all the crazy things that came out of Aoki's mouth, poor Tomo! The coworkers to roommates to lovers story was really cute. And the last story about the guy that finds his true match was pretty good too. Lots of kinks with this mangaka, something I didn't realize about myself in that I didn't hate most of them. This is definitely interesting and doesn't have any darker elements that make you break out in goosebumps. It's rather straight forward in its appeal of crazy and the crazy things we do when we fall in love. Also finding that one person who truly accepts all of us, flaws especially.

This was so cute! The female lead is definitely her own person. She knows who she is and does what she loves, who needs a man? Not her. And for ten years she's been doing her thing until she meets the arrogant tennis player. I liked how she had this incredibly strong sense of smell and could smell his scent and was completely taken with it and he vice versa. Loved that all of her research didn't prepare her for what he made her feel. Guess she was researching with the wrong guy all those years ago. I really like this second chances series, each story is really endearing, but I really wish there was more to their HEA. We get some closure, I just wanted more that's all.
