rainydays's manga / #Multiple stories(10)

anthology with a variety of genres, ranging from topics on the psyche, trauma, starting over, and absurdity. loved the first story, liked the second, head empty for the third, and dying inside for the fourth lmao. at least this author has range.

an omegaverse anthology featuring the lives of various abo pairings certified abo mess

anthology about various couples with age gap ridiculous in all sense of the word and real rough art at some points

masumi likes to crossdress, and one day gets caught by his subordinate, keigo. mommy? sorry... mommy?

shouta helps a foreigner, teppei is crushing on his coworker, and azuma gets jealous. i feel like one of the few people who didnt actually enjoy this. 1st story was incomprehensibly bad-- basically just an innocent man being raped in his home by the man he helped, then being taken to a completely foreign country where he knows nobody, and ofc the mfs name is josh. he fell in love with shouta in one day? eyeroll. 2nd story was cute though im not sure of the age diff (teppei in hs?)

after moving to tokyo to live his truth, mitsuru has a one night stand with haruka, who he then subsequently falls for. karasuma and takashima run a cooking show together. the ass on that man... lawddd (lmao). this was a cutesy, low stakes read, the plot is nothing new but did well for the run time. finally an mc that quickly gathers the courage to confess! second story was also pretty cute, wish they got their own manga though.

yoshihisa has been dating his childhood friend takeshi for years, but becomes uncertain as to whether the alpha wants to permanently pair with him or not. i like the idea of rejecting fated pairs for true love but im sorry, this was soo boringggg. 1st story was decently cute while the 2nd gave me no interest, the only plus is the cute twins at the end. very typical abo story.

short story anthologies centering around an unsettled mimi these were an interesting set of stories, my favorites were the seashore and just the two of us. do wish there was more lore in each of the stories but the sense of vagueness and mystery was still effective.

intriguing short stories that i actually enjoyed a lot if only for the visual aesthetics of the work-- disturbing surely but surprisingly fulfilling

i feel like this was adequately creepy with pretty good art, just the fact that there was a lot of fluff and the stories cut off too early!
