For me, it's apricots. My grandma loved them so I want to like them too, but I've never had a good one in my life.
Gonna second papaya. Adding in Dragon fruit, I literally can't taste anything and hate the seed. Banana, I can smell and taste it a mile away. I hate the taste, smell, texture, the little gross pieces from the inner skin that get stuck to it. I hate everything about them and even if there's just the tiniest little bit in something I will taste it and it will be ruined for me. I just really fucking hate bananas, but they're in everything so I wish I did like them.
I recently read "Living no Matsunaga-san", "The Galaxy Next Door", and "3 AM Dangerous Zone" and enjoyed them all! I really like stories that are unusual or break conventions (like a high school girl living w/ strangers in a sharehouse, a manga enthusiast who's actually an alien, a yakuza daughter who wants to be a teacher, etc.). There is SO MUCH out there though and I'm feeling overwhelmed. I'd be grateful for a few of your thoughtful recommendations.
Qualities of stories I like:
+ honestly not looking for much smut (although some sexy payoff in a slow-burn romance isn't bad!)
+ the romance is balanced well with other aspects of the story
+ not too many chapters (for now I'm still wetting my feet in the genre, so stories w/ less than 30 chapters are preferred)
If you would take the time to respond to this, I would be extremely grateful!!! Tyty( ´ ▽ ` ).。o♡
