I Want to Spoil Ikurou-san
Scumbag System
I was really looking forward to reading SV in this form but alas...there was apparently some drama that caused the manhua to be suspended indefinitely (according to Twitter).
The premise: A dedicated troll of the online novel <<PROUD IMMORTAL DEMON WAY>> suddenly dies and is transmigrated into the book --- as its villain. Since he knows he's in for a bad ending if he continues to abuse protagonist Luo Binghe, he decides to turn his character into a good guy. Wrong. The system won't allow it --- too OOC. He must prove himself as the bad guy first. When he's finally able to take control of his actions, he tries to make amends for how his character treated Binghe in the past. He expects them to become friends. He doesn't expect Binghe to fall in love with him or to feel so badly when he's got to kick him into the demonic realm. Then three years later, guess who shows back up...
I'm lukewarm about this MXTX novel and was really looking forward to this version. I hope it comes back.

Mo Dao Zu Shi
Thirteen years after he's killed as the result of a raid led by his once closest friend, Wei WuXian - the YiLing Patriarch - finds himself reincarnated in the body of a tormented young man who gave his life and soul to summon him in exchange for revenge. Wei WuXian pieces together bits of the young man's life, and in fulfilling his wishes, comes back into contact with his former best friend, Jiang Cheng, and someone he'd desperately tried to befriend ever since they met twenty years earlier as students - Lan WangJi of the Gusu Lan Sect.
To Wei WuXian's dismay, Lan WangJi takes Wei WuXian back with him to the Cloud Recesses in order to protect him -- a place he visited as a student twenty years ago and wants to avoid due to its strict rules. In an attempt to get himself kicked out, Wei WuXian climbs into bed with the once modest WangJi, who shocks him by telling him to stay for the night. As they continue to spend time together solving the mystery of a demon arm that attacked Mo Village, he sees a new side to Lan WangJi and discovers that his feelings may not be -- and never were -- what Wei WuXian believed.
This is a survey of the novel, which is much richer in detail, but it's a great complement to the story! The art is pretty and I like how they're drawn in it versus the animated series (which I also love).

Totally opened this because the cover made it look like a rinharu AU. Two rather plastic childhood friends have entered into a sexual relationship after a dubious start and an unnecessary blackmail situation.
Update: the boyfriend looks an awful lot like Makoto in chapter 5. Especially when he's lying down. Same eyes. This is an MH AU.
La Vie en Rose (KATSURA Komachi)
My boys are back! The sequel to "Rouge."
Jealousy (Scarlet Beriko)
Side-story to Yondaime Ooyamato Tatsuyuki centered around Rogi. Following that story, a young man flings himself in front of Rogi's car hoping to extort him for money, but Rogi takes him home instead and his daughter takes a shine to him. Unable to refuse her, he lets the man stay as a pet. Contrasted with these newfound domestic moments are scenes from Yogi's past and Ooyamoto Akitora, the young yakuza leader he fell in love with when he was twenty-one.
I have a feeling we are headed into extreme heartbreak territory since we know he can't be with Akitora in the present. His son is Tatsuyuki (as in YOT).
Desperately waiting for Tetsuya to make a cameo as a bartender! I want the history of his scar! I also 10,000 more volumes about him and Oumi!

How dare this author make me like a ship besides Haru/Rin! :-P This is an interesting premise. Makoto and Rin get into a physical-only relationship, but Rin becomes increasingly bothered by Makoto's long-standing feelings for Haru. Makoto also seems to be conflicted about exactly what he feels for Rin.
This also contains Rin/Nitori (largely one-sided emotionally) and unrequited love for Rin on Sousuke's part.
By the same author who wrote about Naoki (single dad with a daughter) and Yosshi, the customer at the restaurant where he works.
