Natsukawa plans to restart his life when he moves out to his own room for college, but his plans go awry when his mother decides for him that he’ll live with an old friend he hasn’t seen since grade school. A cute, relaxing, and all-around nice story.
Harehito can fix just about anything. He runs a small company that will collect any kind of trash, but what about when he’s called out to collect a young man? A heart is more difficult to repair.
A man who makes dishes at a deli, notices a man who always enjoys his cooking, and realizes he wants to cook for him even more. A chill, slice of life romance between adults.
Blood stains, laundromat, mountain of debt. Two awkward yet cute mature men find what they need in each other. A simple story, and it’s hard to put my finger ob why, but it’s really appealing.
A cute story about a my-pace foreigner who walks around with a woman’s parasol and the young man who is curious about him. I love the slow pacing and the occasional burst of symbolism in the artwork.
Sequel for one of my favorite couples, after they graduate and go to different colleges. Read Kimi wa Natsu no Naka first.
When he enters a new school year without any friends in his class, Do Jihwan is asked by an energetic stranger to hold onto a pair of earrings for him. Short, sweet, and simple. Very charming.
A guy who has always depended on girls he’s dating but never takes any of them seriously, picked up by an incredibly driven fashion designer who is gay but has no desire for long-term relationships. The story has substantial character development and becomes surprisingly romantic by the end.
Junpei meets an aloof young man at college who seems familiar. It turns out they were in high school together but Onizuka is trying to reinvent himself and have a more normal, peaceful life. It becomes a very touching, slightly bittersweet story, with this mangaka’s typically pleasing art style. I love seeing Onizuka develop as a person without losing who he is.
