Featuring the entangled lives of Asuza, Karino and a class full of interesting characters, this has a well-thought yet an irreparably twisted plot that goes deep into social behaviors and the perpetuation of norms. Filled with role-reversals and power struggles, this is Ogawa-sensei's most intriguing work so far. It delves into the depths of human depravity, shamelessly exposing how we justify the evil with the excuse of love, in some messed-up form or another.
A boy takes revenge on a middle-school classmate that demoted him to a position even lower than the friendzone. There's so much love, silliness, and messy misunderstandings between these equally- dense cuties. A crazy turnaround for Ogawa-sensei! Warning: whether you are weak to extreme fluff or not, this manga is not good for the heart.

Shirotani suffers from mysophobia, an aversion to germs and thus the touch of other people. But what if the filth is actually from within? His therapist, Kurose, patiently endeavors now to free him of his condition, all the while making Shirotani fall helplessly in love with him. Congratulations! You have found the manga with possibly the best seme in the BL world.
Young people have the guts to try anything at all, at the heat of the moment, swept away for curiosity's sake, asking someone out for the chance of finding love in the next seven days. But what if the ending to a lovers' contract arbitrarily begun comes far too soon for two hearts to catch up? Answer: FEELS EVERWHERE.
The sweetest things in life begins with a coincidence, then a strange, wonderful phenomenon of all things falling into place. Arikawa and Misaki's friendship begins with losing and finding a flower necklace enclosing bittersweet sentiments, and ends with a love in full bloom.
Hana no Migoro Ni - sequel, for those like me who can't get enough of AriSaki
Hana no Miyako De - the beautiful, heart-wrenching prequel (best read afterwards)
Prequel to Hana no Mizu Shiru. It tells of the romance of youth, the sacrifices associated with adulthood, and the never-ending love that carries over even to the heirs of a new story, all tied up by the strings of fate.
This is the beginning of a series of interrelated stories, and the first manga that got me hooked on the drug that is Ogeretsu Tanaka. It tells of Yumi and Mayama, middle school sweethearts who drifted into separate paths, reunited only to realize that their feelings are still as strong as ever, even as Yumi finds himself caught in an abusive relationship with a lover that has lost his way.
Renai-rubi no Tadashii Furikata 3-5 - Kan-chan's story
Azami - Kan's descent into darkness
Spin-off to Sabita Yoru.
(1) Hiro changed his image to get over the memories of bullying in his past, but his adorable high school "bully" catches up to him and confesses his love like an idiot.
(2) The story of Kan-chan's post-Yumi life and how his office kouhai attempts to bring back his smile that life has taken away from him. I don't know, but I'm weak to characters who are actually scared children hiding beneath the facade of a monster, and I think Ogeretsu-san is,
This is probably Ogeretsu-san's first digitally-drawn manga, and the colored pages were gorgeous, vividly depicting dancing lights and dropping base beats. The plot does not disappoint, either, as the two MCs find themselves in a realistic, heart-warming portrayal of being discriminated on the one hand, and discovering the sincerity of one's affections on the other.
Broken by his abusive childhood and unrequited first love, Yashiro rose as high as a yakuza boss and as low as being a "public toilet" all at the same time. However, his new bodyguard, Doumeki, seems too resistant against his erotic charm. A story of two damaged people trying to mend the irreparable scars in the midst of all the action and the drama of life in organized crime, this definitely is Yoneda Kou's magnum opus.
