Tomiura and Shirosaki are, both, neighbours, classmates at the same university and gay — a fact which Tomiura uncovers by pure chance when Shirosaki is abused by a former lover. Together, they discover they have more in common than a similar sexuality, and it is all these other attractions and intimacies which make Shirosaki reluctant to go further. Unfortunately, a promising beginning segued into a standard conclusion, with their reticence quickly dismissed, and the conflict added as an afterthought in Chapter 3. (2) Samiya and Toujou are dumped, have drunken rebound sex which turns out to be a little more serious for each other than they originally thought. (3) A gay boyfriend tries to come between his clueless boyfriend and the younger brother who won't allow it.
Ani no Senaka
Yuki acts like the perfect wife for Keiichirou, his late sister's husband, preparing his meals, tidying his clothes—which is why Keiichirou wants him to stick around—doing everything except sleeping with him. He wants to, but Keiichirou doesn't know that, and he will never know as far as Yuki is concerned. Yuki's already got a job lined up in Osaka after he graduates (even though his professor and fellow students also want to marry him) and that hours-long commute is the best way of keeping what he sees as an inappropriate love to himself. So far, a lively and engaging story with a tragic past and beautiful art.
Akai Ito No Shikkou Yuuyo
Reluctant seme and red string of fate story with body-warming kink thrown in during a blizzard.
Yuuhi ni Fureru Sono Mae ni
University dorm roommates develop an attachment to each other over the pain of family estrangement and loss.
Ohayou to Oyasumi to Sono Ato ni
An impulsive hire turns into love for a chef-in-training and a computer design student away from home for the first time. The story focuses on the sweet aspects of their relationship, and yet, some very serious story conflicts are skirted as though they mean nothing, like intellectual property theft. I was left wondering if that would ever be resolved, but instead, the story jumped to a love triangle conflict, which is far less interesting to me.
