Comments of Hada no Ue no Renai Jijou

One long story and a slightly shorter spinoff together with an unrelated, unremarkable fantasy oneshot. The main stories are both about relationships between middle-aged men and younger salarymen.

The main story is about a middle-aged school teacher dating a younger salaryman (who looks to be in his mid-20s or so). The drama is centered around the teacher's deep insecurity about his body. I have conflicting feelings about this one. One the one hand, it's nice to see a middle aged person in a BL who looks middle-aged, even if the entire manga is about how he is middle aged (and not much else). Also, while it is nice to have a (kind of vague) message about self-acceptance in a relationship, the quality of the art undermines it. They are not bad, per se, but the character who is meant to be chubby and middle aged has the body of a relatively fit person in their 20s in most of the drawings (except the comedic ones where he is feeling insecure), which... undercuts the message a bit. 2-3/5

The spinoff is about a salaryman and a janitor who works in his building. Considerably less sweet, considerably more rapey. Which is unfortunate, since I think given a different story the characters could have had a great dynamic, and its refreshing to see a working-class person in a manga who looks a bit like he might be working-class. 1/5
There is also an underdeveloped fantasy oneshot which I won't bother to review.

While there are things I liked about this manga (actually features older-looking men, their improbably nubile bodies notwithstanding, some potentially interesting themes) there isn't much to love. The first story is passable and comparatively pleasant, but the last two are underdeveloped. It might be worth reading the first one if you're in the mood for a BL that at least tries to deal with body image issues, even if the execution is poor. Of if you're in the mood for graphic sex featuring faces that don't quite conform to the typical doll faces that populate the genre (there is a gratifying amount of well-drawn sex scenes, so if you want porn this might be worth your while).

**
Definitely content warnings for this one: sex slavery in the fantasy short, and a relationship where one character routinely gets his partner drunk to have sex with him - so yeah, rape.

Art teacher guy with flabby body complex

Love it!!!! All the storys I love them all!!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Two stories about men concerned with their weight or age, and the younger men who love them as they are.

I like this manga its cute.

Reading manga from this author is really a breath of fresh air.
1. A muscle-obsessed older man and a salaryman
2. A janitor and the friend of the salaryman from the story before
3. A demon and his master(the kind that author's other books had)
