Beloved Reads

"High school sweethearts who eloped, Kusaka and Mikuriya face a crisis 15 years later when Kusaka wants to break up, prompting Mikuriya to confront a long-hidden secret."
SOOO GOOOD. What a refreshing and lovely long-term relationship. They love each other so, so much.

"When a wild life photographer gets his car stuck in a snow bank, he is too busy marveling at nature to notice the gravity of his situation. Luckily for him, a local resident of the town happens to cross his path and offers him some help."
BEAUTIFUL art, so cute. Such a sweet and fluffy story.

"Arata secretly takes pictures of Shoutarou to sell to the girls and eavesdrops on his confessions, pretending it doesn’t bother him. Shoutarou always rejects confessions, citing club activities, but what if this time he claims he already likes someone else?"
Photography... such a delightful high school BL. I love the layer of uniqueness from the photography element, and the paneling/art is SO gorgeous.

"College student Chitose reflects on his high school days and his growing connection with Koutaka, a seemingly aloof yet kind transfer student, in this heartfelt memorial love story."
Cute art slightly reminiscent of Skip & Loafer. Good old childhood friends + school life (with a taste of sports) but with the time skip where they're apart (angst)-- "more about the journey than the destination"... AH, YOUTH!! I just REALLY liked this.

"Highschoolers Yousuke and Shuu have become somewhat estranged due to an accident early in their childhood. However, their relationship is restored when Shuu moves to the shopping district Yousuke resides in, to stay at his grandmother's place. Yousuke, although akward at first, starts feeling stirred by the expressions and mannerisms that the usually aloof Shuu only shows to him!"
A classic and fun high school Shounen Ai with sweet bickering and playfulness.

"Yutaka Hozumi struggles with eating around others, often being told he ruins the mood. One day, while eating alone, a hungry little boy asks for his onigiri. Yutaka shares his food and soon meets the boy's older brother, Minoru, and the child, Tane—a pair of siblings with a notable age gap."

"In high school, Arata fell for a British girl. A salaryman now, he's reunited with that person, but they're actually a man...?"
LOOOVE this author and their art. A natural flow, and felt very down to Earth and authentic.

"Top students Kawase and Kurihara have been locked in an intense rivalry since the start of high school, unbeknownst to Kawase. No matter how hard Kurihara studies, he can’t seem to take the top spot. Kawase, taken aback by Kurihara’s hostile and self-damaging behavior, becomes determined to help him in any way he can."
