Sugar ❀'s manga / #Slice of Life(84)

P: 17-year-old Kaidou Haru isn’t too happy to be spending his summer vacation in the wilds of Canada with his eccentric, estranged mother, but when she saddles him with civilizing his new adopted brother, 8-year-old wild child Ren, he takes up the mantle with aplomb, gradually learning to navigate the boy’s unruly demeanor and fostering a close bond that prompts him to invite Ren to come live with him in Japan once he graduates, hoping Ren can experience what it’s like to have a real family. But falls from such heights of happiness usually give way to the deepest depths of despair… O: Brilliant. It’s slow-paced but I love the development. Omg so cute, adorable, funny, dramatic and hot. Haru is so possessive. I need more! Omg when Haru got amnesia for the second time x.x that’s heartbreaking. Weird how it’s a yaoi, although there’s foreplay there’s no action. It slightly bothers me how young Ren looks. Nvm apparently this is only shounen ai ;-;

P: KeraQ [31966]: 1-5, 8) Sumito was on his way to a cherry blossom picnic when he spotted in the distance a man (32) crying. This man (Someya) looked familiar, turns out he is a teacher at Sumito's high school. Sumito spends his breaks with sensei and they talk about books.. Slowly, Sumito is falling for his sensei. 6) Yamashita works as a part timer and had to bring his drunk colleague Seto to his house. Seto threw up on him, kissed him and called for Megami while crying. Yamashita is in the closet so he didnt get his hopes up until he found out Megami is a man. 7) Sad story of Yuu was in love with Asaya went they went to school but he never confessed. They meet again after 10-12 years but it is too late for them to be together. O: Beautiful art, heartwarming, tragedy. bittersweet, a bundle of many feels. Rereading... bruh what was I smoking?? This is not a tragedy LMAO, chapter 7 was... sht man... not a tragedy but definitely bittersweet... that is pure pain... This was a good read, but didn't feel like a 5/5 (used to rate 9.5 btw) 5-->4

P: I Thot You Was a Toad [12961]: Heita lives with his retired grandfather in a small rural community boarding house that closed after his grandmother died, while he attends school and looks after the one remaining boarder, Miharu, a university researcher who seems incapable of looking after himself. He has some vaguely realized feelings toward Miharu which he expresses by preparing luxurious bentou and sharing the futon during rainstorms. Meanwhile, Miharu's feelings for Hei-chan are hardly vague, but he is an adult and Heita isn't, and that seems to mean something in this story. O: Honestly speaking I can’t really remember.. but I listed this as feels, caring some, cute, sweet and hot :P

P: C1-2: Senba x Takama - Senba is older than Takama. They both work at a convenience store. When Takama quits his job, Senba admits liking Takama, and that he’s gay. Takama apologises for his comment on gay people being like aliens, and they get together. C3-4: Sada likes Takama, like Senba b/c they have the same tastes (they were bf’s before too), but he’s already taken. He has a one night stand w/ Ninomiya b/c he reminds him of Takama (he looks plain). Ninomiya went along with it b/c he wanted to try have some “fun” he’s been told that he’s boring. Ninomiya is a teacher. They end up going out. C5-6: Gino is a cat-human with “monkey ears” and gets bullied. People with this feature tend to get hallucinations. But it turns out Gino meets Nakano, a human, whose circumstances are similar to Gino’s. They both think each other look weird and they live in different worlds. Gino ends up gaining confidence. Although they never see each other again after an earthquake, they’ve both become strong. C7: The cat and human worlds are now easily accessible. The nephews of Gino and Nakano are friends (Tomo and Sachi). O: I need more, this is pretty interesting.. sweet and funny. 5->4 In retrospect, this was an ok read. Not amazing though :P

P: Han Soo-bum has nothing to lose. Dying seems to be the solution to all his problems. How hard can it be to kill himself? Unless he gets abducted by a hot guy running from the law who has been falsely accused. O: Although the art is kinda old but still nice, I loved seeing the friendship and development of the characters. It had such an interesting plot, and feels. Omg that dude when he bothered to cut his hair looked so different. Rereading... C7 - how can he casually cut himself omg... It seems like in some panels, there real photos are used as the background - that was pretty interesting! AGHGLJLSDKF the ending was so abrupt and it felt like a lot was skimmed over... I enjoyed this read, but I wish there was more depth to it ha... it feels like there's something missing 5-->4

P: Salary man Saki almost makes it home but passes out from fever just as college student Shinomiya passes by. When Saki comes to he realizes he's in a strange apartment and Shinomiya has been taking care of him for the past two days! Not wanting to be indebted, Saki tries to repay him as thanks but Shinomiya's having nothing of it. Luckily, Saki's pretty creative when coming up with a way to express his gratitude that has them both wanting more... O: There was a cute uke, this manga was cute, adorable and funny.. but something felt off about it tbh.. maybe because Shinomiya seems too feminine looking.

P: Oosawa had known Yoshioka for a long time... As his customer, Yoshioka came in and out of the shop with different boyfriends all the time. He thought he knew fully well what kind of man Yoshioka was. But when tragedy hit Chizu, his one and only daughter... and his capability as a single father was questioned... Yoshioka came out of nowhere and offered help. Slowly but sure, Oosawa learned that the man he despised was very different than what he appeared to be! O: Love it! It’s a heartwarming story, sweet, cute and adorable, and Chizu ^^ It is funny how Naoki reacts to Yoshioka, when he says dirty jokes/stuff. I like how Chizu is a strong girl, and she isn’t just some bratty petulant kid. I feel really sad for her, and am a bit mad that Naoki decided to allow Kana to take care of Chizu, and he didn’t consider Chizu’s feelings. Chizu is an innocent, smart kid :( I hate Kazu he is the prime example of an annoying bratty kid. Rereading. I agree with my previous comment! This is such a good read! LMAOOO Yoshioka is such a sweet guy, but man he really has a bad rep xD Omfg I can't get over how Naoki decided that Chizu should live with her mum from now on w/o consulting anyone about this... Chizu doesn't look happy at all :'( BRUH HOW TF DID CHIZU DISAPPEAR?? WHAT ARE FAMILY DOING OMFG! Thank god she made it to a familiar place.

And his guardian & childhood friend AhAo is the one who protects & clears up the dirty mess he made. What'll turn AhXun back into a good boy? O: Pretty interesting, damn XuShang is so good at crossdressing… I want more! The art is beautiful.. so much drama lol. Damn sad how it's dropped.

P: On his way home from picking up a rings for himself and his lover, Fuji Takahiro is hit by a car. His resulting amnesia degrades his live-in lover Kotou Tarou to a mere flatmate, and a series of misunderstandings threatens to tear the couple apart. They gradually rebuild their relationship. O: Funny, dramatic, nice art and sexy. The uke is so horny. xD I need to reread this. Rereading... I don't really like the art tbh. But it was really nice to see them get back together again and Takahiro falling in love with Tarou again. At the end it turns out they have switched before but idk if this manga is seke since we don't really see the switch happen.

O: Sorry I don’t like old guys. It was interesting though, lots of drama and it was cute. Beautiful art.
