muse ✨'s manga / #flowers(2)

Arikawa, a law student with poor eyesight, has a literal run-in with someone and is left with a delicate flower necklace. It belongs to a botany student, Misaki, who doesn't seem to have interests outside of the laboratory. Although he's busy, Arikawa volunteers to help in the lab, and over time, he and Misaki grow close. However, Misaki is dealing with the pain of an unrequited love that won't leave him alone. This is one of my favorite stories. I've read it multiple times and was able to find the licensed English version of the first volume. I don't think the other two have been licensed, but I found the original 3-volume set on CDJapan and have it on my shelf. :-D

A landscaper and a photographer fall in love. This is gentle and sweet. Other commenters have suggested that the parents in this might be the couple from "Kare no Shousou to Koi ni Tsuite" who love each other so much and go on the cruise! That would mean they're still together at least 15 years later. One is called Watabe, but the other goes by Seiji. The names in the other story are Watabe Kazumi and Yajima Hideki, so unfortunately, I don't think it's them (unless there is a kanji reading difference, maybe?). In the other story, Watabe was also the middle child with a younger sister. Here, he's said to be the youngest sibling (which is why he's such a young dad).
