So this one was a bit rough to read, pacing wise and situation wise. The art is good though.Kazu and Kei get down and dirty in the span of the first 6 pages(new record!). Kazu is a masochist(from past boyfriend's training), but it shows flashbacks of them with them building up what he can and can't handle. There is a non-con scene with his ex setting it up and leaving him to a group without telling him what he would endure.Kei is his stalker childhood friend who is in love with him, so he's the comic relief in a strange way. Like stated earlier, they get intimate extremely early on and the pacing makes their relationship feel like it progressed too quickly and makes Kazu feel like he never got much of a break. Kei does make attempts to seduce him and obviously Kazu begrudgingly get invested.Also there's another scene close to the end that is a bit awkwardly placed and feels somewhat anticlimactic but also overdramatic. Strange combination, at least they ended up together!

I love this trope so much! Divorcee x interested bachelor is one that always ends up with a lot of shenanigans in the whole story, leading up to their eventual romance. The story itself was more entertaining than I initially expected, but extremely appreciated. Iha is a mess of a man who doesn't have an ounce of romance in his bones, but is infatuated with Masami and his personality. Masami on the other hand is more of a realist, but strives to do his best even if he is led into the romance initially unwillingly, but he eventually does begin to care for Iha the more time they spend together. The art is nice and the story has a moderately good pacing wish there was more, just because their dynamic was entertaining to watch. Rent it first to see if it catches your eye! The absurdity of the situation adds to the reading experience!

So best friends turned to lovers, what more could we have asked for! Add in some drama, comedy, and lewd scenes to get yourself this fun manga.Finally got to read the sequel to this one! A lot of what felt lacking in the first one gets covered in the second one, and there's a non-con scene that feels heavier than initially anticipated. So a heads up on that if you don't like that type of content!The first volume lays the foundation of these lovebirds with the trials and tribulations of teenage romance. The second delves more into insecurities and obviously tying loose ends to the past.I really loved the relationship buildup in both volumes and hope that there's some bonuses out there covering more of Urabe with these two because their dynamic has so much potential.Huge fan of Papiko's works and this one isn't an exception.

Very light stories and it's a collection that has different tropes scattered in it. The first one was definitely my favorite and I wish there was a whole volume dedicated to the first couple since it revolved around rivals.The stories themselves had good pacing and the art was surprisingly complimentary to the atmosphere the artist created. Overall, it was a nice quick read and the stories leave you wishing there was more for them because they stop when the relationships truly begin.

There was potential to this one, but it rushed in certain parts that deserved more time and exposition(when the omega coworker saw the truth of the company, end chapter in general, etc.)The art itself is very nice.I felt as if it was due to deadlines and restrictions that ended up making the story sell itself short. An additional chapter showing how much could have changed after their relationship developed would have been nice to make up for all the non-con going on in the main story.

As always, this mangaka has given us another light story with the potential for another reversible couple! Two bottoms make a right, and it shows.I've been a fan of their work due to the versatility the couples show, where their cute and masculine traits are interchangeable, it adds the spice to their relationship haha.This one is between two teachers, Koyo is the "ultimate" bottom, but still has his cool side shine! Shinobu is the "try-hard to be perfect!" bottom, who eventually falls for Koyo's cuteness and blunt personality. They have good chemistry together, and not much drama happens between them as their relationship develops. We also get two new Rules chapters in here, which are as always: wholesome glimpse in those two's lives.I never really get bored rereading these stories since they're almost always light-hearted:)

Very light story revolving around childhood friends Ten and Ikuo's budding romance. There isnt that much drama to it, and it is very simple storytelling, but this author has mastered that simplicity to make the characters charming. They're awkward around each other initially after their realizations, but still gravitate to one another because that's just what they're used to. I really like the art style when paired with the story, since it proves that sometimes you just need a breather from more intense themes, yet still enjoy what you've been given.I'd recommend to rent it if youre just in it for a light read, but by all means purchase it! I'm just an absolute sucker for this author's works. Extremely charming and awkward cast in each of their series.

This one was fun to read!Daisuke is a modeling manager, ready to follow his dreams into getting one of his models into Paris Fashion Week, and Subaru is the student he catches and shapes up to be more than meets the eye. Obviously, Subaru's initially aloof with his goals and more in it for Daisuke, but eventually tries to prove that he's in it for the both of them to see the fashion world together. He's also the one who falls first and makes it a point to prove it in each and every photoshoot they're involved in. There's a slow burn type of development between them, but it pays off in the second volume. Its got nice art, and a pretty decent story! I also loved how the androgynous model wasnt used as a joke, and was also inspired by a real model!

Pretty light read!Story revolves around a reunion between a broke playboy who loves animals a whole lot and a childhood friend of sorts who's been heavily involved with animals his whole life.A simple unrequited crush turned mutual, but the initial dynamic between the two is more like a cautious mouse versus a carnivorous cat. I was a huge fan of the art style, very dynamic and clean, and suited the story's style. The art also complimented the character's designs extremely well.I also wished the coworkers got a spin-off or at least another chapter because they're both idiots, but in different senses, so when you put them together, you end up with all sorts of chaos.A heads up for the subtle dub-con with the main couple in the beginning, mainly since alcohol was involved. I don't mind it, but I know others might be put off by that.Overall, pretty light story, but the characters make it worthwhile! I like the pairs presented!

I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed this one! Narumi starts off trying to save his grandpa's restaurant and bumps into Toshio, his old classmate from middle school.He finds out Toshio's a money lender, asks for his help, and you guessed it right folks, Toshio says he has to pay with his body.Afterwards, you get to see some bits and pieces of their history through Narumi's memories, and he slowly becomes aware of his own feelings towards Toshio. It's a push-pull start, but eventually they do end up together and make a good couple. Narumi is still pretty confident, which I actually enjoyed from his character. Toshio becomes a bit more open with his feelings, due to his unreauited love for Narumi being requited at the end of it all. It had some funny moments, but overall, it's a decent read!
