series order is in the summary (there's wayyyy too many parts honestly) -- tw: infidelity -- miyamoto-sensei's works always seems to have cheating/casual flings so if that's not your cup of tea (i know it's usually not mine) then definitely don't read -- their works feel somewhat indie-film-ish and are more often than not bittersweet and full of heartache
3.5/5 -- unrequited love -- learning to let go is always bitter
2.5/5 -- the only couple i've ever tolerated from this series (shinonome/yukimura also had their moments but mikado and towa do not exist in my ver of the universe c: )
1 Mujihi Na Otoko - Merciless Man
2 Mujihi Na Anata - Merciless Lover
3 Mujihi Na Karada - Ruthless Body
2.5/5
1 Kirai Ja Nai Kedo - I Don't Dislike You
2 Koi Ja Nai Kedo - Isn't It Love
3 Kare Ja Nai Kedo - I'm Not Your Boyfriend
4 Sunao Ja Nai Kedo - I'm Not Honest
5 Himitsu Ja nai kedo
3/5 -- hideyoshico is such a classic -- their stories are usually interesting and unique especially with their distinct art style
tw: internalized homophobia
despite being short and straight forward, i think it actually revealed a lot of information in its few pages. the way tomoya ran for over an hour to meet onga really screamed 'YOUTH!!' and the way onga reacted despite being in public was too suave and showed his maturity. 12 years can be like their physical distance of 2 hours (now by plane), but they work together to reconcile it and confirm their love. how sweet! i wish the rest of their story could be uploaded too.
