Picker Upper - Feel good manga executed well

Yori, an idol, has been in an unrequited love for his former manager, Haruto, for a long time. Though he harbors no hopes, Yori kisses Haruto out of desperation and the response he receives tells him all he needs to know about how the other person feels about him. This is where the story turns sharply away from cliches. Once he smells hope, Yori doesn't resort to unnecessary drama. Instead he works diligently towards shining so bright that Haruto will be hard-pressed to hide his feelings.

Mao and Hisashi are roommates in the school dorm. When Mao found out Hisashi is gay and has a boyfriend, they make three promises so that they can continue to stay together as roommates. But the promises become hard to keep when the movie club that Mao is part of decides to film a BL movie and want to recruit Hisashi to play the lead. A fluffy story with not a lot of twists and turns with well fleshed out characters including the members of the movie club...

Very interesting story of first love, curiosity, exploration and love. It's pure fluff but the kind of fluff that is wholesome. Good read.

Very simple and straight-forward story. The art and the dialogues are beautiful. Definitely recommend. Warning for incest.

It's an interesting story of Asano who is happy-go-lucky, frustratingly so, especially when compared to Kakei... It's a story about how their relationship develops...

Ichimori and Akagi meet again after a break-up in high school and this time, Ichimori is determined to make it work. It's just the usual miscommunication, angst, clarification, fluff... nothing new... but it's done quite well.

Very interesting story of a closeted gay whose past comes back to bite him when he falls in love with an openly gay man. This mangaka is really good at writing about human relationships.

Typical story of a popular guy, Suhyeon befriending and becoming interested in a shy guy, Ai. He gets rejected and has a near-fatal accident right after, leaving him in a coma. Part of his memories (soul?) somehow gets transferred to Ai's cat that almost dies around the same time. So the cat that once hated Ai is now super lovey-dovey with him. On the other hand, when he wakes up from his coma, Suhyeon doesn't remember Ai.... Genre typical but not a bad read....

The story of two middle aged men who meet under terrible circumstances - a thug with a knife wound fleeing for his life and a tired, aimless person who has been paying off his father's debt all his adult life...
Despite the dark premise, it's a fluffy story of a tsundere and a clingy softie.

This is the story of a homosexual couple who take a kid in and willingly make the changes required to make it work. I really like this one primarily because it shows the effort it takes to bring up a kid and focuses more on that than on just the dynamic of the couple. Extra points for having a likeable female character (the child's mother).
