muse ✨'s manga / #engagement(9)

Okamura is asked to help an insecure, socially awkward client to become more approachable. They become close friends quickly, but when it starts to turn romantic, Okamura worries he'll have to give up a close friend when the relationship inevitably comes to an end, so he refuses to let their love evolve.

After calling off their friends-with-benefits arrangement that arose from the adrenaline of a pro race, Haru reevaluates his feelings for Rin. The art style reminds me a bit of Rihito Takarai's. :-D

1) A man who is incapable of caring for himself finds himself one evening with a devoted bride - who turns out to be his male boss. 2) On the whim of his grandfather, a man marries another man named Aoi, whose grandmother was friends with his grandfather. They'd always planned for their families to be joined. But after the grandmother passes, the men stay together, to the chagrin of the young man's mother, who goes out of her way to make Aoi leave. I don't know why we can't call everyone husbands but okay. These were cute. :-D

me in real life: I'd never get married again, not without a prenup. You never know what's going to happen in the future. me when my OTPs get engaged: OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Kageyama proposes in this utterly sweet story.

A frustrating man with zero social skills is taught them by a friendly waiter who falls for him. The one where the guy hates carrots and the last page is the two of them with Shinobu's mom, and Shinobu is bragging that his boyfriend can open any jar.

When their best childhood friend leaves her baby with them to work overseas, two guys who have been together for years but have never made a commitment to each other shuffle their lives around to care for her. Things that are amazing about this: - Established, realistic, loving relationship - Lots of women characters! Amazing women characters! Who don't die! They have careers and ambitions and speak their minds - A child with agency who also speaks her mind! - Sweet as hell proposal and engagement party - Supportive parents - Realizing that you are family when you say you are; you don't need it on paper. But it's great to be able to have it on paper, too.

Read this for the first couple, former coworkers who have been sleeping together for a while and their relationship comes to a head when marriage comes up. They surface again at the end of the final chapter. The rest are one shots, mostly rushed. The former coworkers who reunite after six years were sweet, although they argued a bit too much. I have no idea what the second story was trying to do. I feel like I really liked the fifth one but I can’t remember what it was about now.
