Murdock's Manga

Oh my god it is so aggressively sweet. The amount of consent and love between these two is overwhelming.

One of my all time favorites. It’s a story about a deeply traumatized and angry Masato, living with a roommate who’s the exact opposite of his type. Asahi is sloppy, a lightweight, and very aloof. Despite this, he starts to break through Masato’s defenses, and a super realistic and unlikely love sprouts between the two of them. It seriously is amazing, both Masato and Asahi are well written and they’re reluctance makes a lot of sense, and it really feels like they choose to be together despite the disadvantages and hurt feelings. One of my absolute all time favorites, and I hope you can read it too.

I love this author, they always have such amazing couples and this is no exception. A classic enemies to lovers with a tsundere uke that mellows out. Both characters are so likeable, and I just love Onoe. They’re relationship is very funny, with great back and forth humor, but even though they say mean things to each other there are so many sweet moments where we see how much they like each other that it makes it endearing to watch them play fight. I really recommend reading this and checking out the author

God this truly is one of the most captivating romance manga I’ve read. The story is about Minato fro XXX Allergy, and Shouhei’s older brother Shizuma. After a one night stand, Shizuma completely forgets Minato, and it leaves Minato extremely hurt and bitter. Minato then decides to take revenge on Shizuma by making him fall in love and then dumping him, however Minato is much softer than he realizes and falls in love with the straightforward and good natured Shizuma. There’s a good amount of angst, and Minato is a deeply insecure and mistrusting person. He hates himself while also overestimating himself, but he’s so endearing and I feel like he truly tries his best. Shizuma is probably one of my favorites characters I’ve seen in a romance. He knows what he wants, and he communicates it. He’s so kind hearted, and almost righteous in a way. Despite the symbolism that Minato is a snake that plans to betray Shizuma, you can see that Minato is completely wrapped around his finger and I love it.

My favorite couple from this series. I do wish Aikawa had a little more character to him, he isn’t as developed as Nanao, but I don’t mind all that much. Nanao is such a sad person, and despite his seemingly thick skin he’s actually very sensitive and genuine person. On one hand he’s confident in his behaviors and how he looks, but on the other he’s insecure about his personality and his sexual promiscuity. That being said, despite rumors being spread that he’s a slut, he’s actually fairly modest. As far as we know he’s only slept with 2 people at his college, Aikawa being included in that. I want more of these two, I love every book series they get
