fujomom's manga / #slice of life(121)

Loved it! One of the best!

I haven't read too much yaoi/shonen ai that actually addresses the bullying that might happen when someone comes out of the closet in high school (though, for the main character it he was forced to, which made it even more traumatic). It was super emotional finding out all the stuff he went through, and made the relationship so much more touching.

Quiet with a slow moving, brooding inner dialogue. This is about 2 guys who work in the same building, one repairs computers and one is a cram school teacher. The teacher loves bonsai and moss plants and sees a moss plant in the computer guy's office. Then they begin to bond over computer guy's bonsai plants.

Cuteness.. A manga about a straight BL manga reader and how he deals with being a bit different. There's no smut at all in this.

This was so cute in the beginning, ugh, I could barely handle the cuteness. Then it follows the two students as they grow older together and live their adult lives. Then things get hairy in chapter 4 and they break up but neither ever can get over another. They're reunited and it shows them getting old together. The last chapter made me ugly cry. I'm glad no one was around because I was a sobbing mess. No exaggeration. This was a beautiful story, but I don't think I will ever read it again because of the trauma of the ending.

CUTE. A divorced dad and his young son make friends with a stage actor who plays a sentai ranger character (like Power Rangers), then they gradually/awkwardly fall in love. Slow, with only a couple tame handjob moments, this was super sweet and lovely to read.

Adorable! College age guys working at a convenience store fall in love when suddenly an ex comes back into the picture. Super cute, wish there was more!

This is an amusing manhwa made by the same person that writes 19 Days (WHICH I LOVE SO MUCH). It's pretty random fairly often which can make it a bit more confusing. The chapters with tiny hints of BL make is absurdly happy though, the fugoshi in me wants more of that naturally lol I wouldn't really classify this as BL though.

A high school girl becomes a tenant in her uncles boarding house, which already has 5 other young adults living in it. One of them is a temperamental handsome book cover designer, which she starts to have a crush on. The plot to this isn't super exciting but the art style is GREAT, the designer guy is one of the most handsome manga guys I've seen in a loooooooong time.

So, this started off bland for me but I stuck with it and I'm glad I did. So many feels in this! It's about a girl who pretends to live a happy, ideal life when she really feels anything but. One day a new boy transfers into her class and out of obligation she gets close to him only to discover he has a secret side too. They bond over revealing themselves to each other and it's super sweet. Their relationship is a slow-burn type that is wonderful and painful at the same time. I look forward to their happily ever after!
