cw: childhood trauma (emotional neglect), mourning
fuck you this is beautiful. my favorite ever probably. found family and connection through food... a masterpiece truly
cw: none except teen angst and unrequited love
I LOVE THIS AUTHOR, love the way they draw characters, the stories are short but angsty and sweet aughghghhgh i love this so much
☆ cw: child abuse, bullying
i love magical realism and pining and childhood friends to lovers, this checks all my boxes
☆ cw: child abuse, homophobia, slight age gap
yes it's a beefy himbo farmer and an emo loner from the city but also so much more... someone slowly learning to accept love from a purehearted idiot. wonderful. the art is also gorgeous. also it's so goofy half the time and angsty the other half
cw: it's unfinished
another by Koike Sadaji... i love popular characters falling in love with outcasts and this does it so beautifully. it's just two lonely people learning to have others in their lives and it's so cute
☆ cw: suicidal ideation, very mild homophobia / transphobia, adult crushing on a teenager?? kinda??
this story feels so real and genuine and intimate. a lonely man who struggles to connect with others slowly learning to accept other people into his life. i connect with this so much
