Youngest Nanaki wanted to get stronger and Tora hooked him up with his Master on swords Totoki, a mysterious strong guy. And lol, OMFG I just love Ninomiya and his closed eyes. Anyways I don't think I'm alone in this but Nanaki somewhat looks like Kikyou. It feels weird. Especially when in the past, Kikyou said that he dreamt about "huge castle that looked like boxes"... DEJA VU. But I would be saddened if Nanaki would turned out to be the modern Kikyou because he's already adorably together with Ninomiya. But Kazuto said he would snatch him from time so I guess there's another way? BTW. for those still doubting it I can read a bit of Japanese and I can totally confirm that the sword at the bottom that Totoki is holding is marked as number "one". Maaaan. His modern-day look magnified his handsomeness 1000x.

ch.1-2: Jin to Neko wa Yobu to Konai. weird and super vague (and super painful) relationship of jin and mari. a pair of really hard to handle people. The pair appeared in the prequel Koujitsuei no Tobira. ./ ch. 4: Non-tea room Sequel. (This should be the sequel because accd. to the sequence of events in the other manga, it's only after renji fell inlove with another person that Arthur realized his mistake) The user-friendly asshole (his POV) and his crimes. #unrequited love #death of a loved one. He said "I love you" to the guy who looked so much like his dead lover while having the face of his dead lover in his mind all the time. Even if he kept the truth of using the boy, boy still found out and got hurt anyway. ../ ch. 5: comedy oneshot about a gay angel sent down to earth. / ch. 6: omake, dream stories.

cute paranormal (bisexual) love triangle-ish story with three former childhood friends and in the middle is the guy who had no idea what is really happening. hideyoshico always incorporate elements in her story that will make you think a lot and let the fans think freely about what happened in the end so some people misunderstood (let me explain): A guy wonders about love. As if by destiny, he came across his childhood rival & sweetheart who are now together... or 'was'. At this moment ken is yet to figure out his connection to this couple. Ofc mi-chan is actually a girl like nobody expected & most likely since she's a girl, grew out of her old bullying ways but still has enough spunk (she is quite the tomboy from the looks of it) to come on the stoic (but actually just shy) guy so now, they are in some kind of mutual affection. But she died. Enter kentarou. well, since the two boys did not know each other's past connection and both were straight or so they think, author portrayed them being all awkward of this gf/bf possession play. HOWEVER, despite disliking each other at first, they started to develop feelings to each other from all this mysterious happenings. Ken starting to think more about hikaru. And yes, even in hikaru's side too. The keyword here is OVERLAP (check page 90. hikaru is being conscious of ken, and i daresay sexually conscious while feeling the guilt). The affection he felt for mi-chan who is using ken's body and voice is blurring the line bit by bit. and i think it's sweet and cute.(p.124: that was totally them on a date) ken is reluctant despite now knowing hikaru's identity because he is a kind guy like that plus his zero confidence. mi-chan is an important factor on getting them together since she's the first one who realized their bond. Both boys are kind of timid not to mention the gender barrier that prevents them to see each other as a potential love interest so her straightforwardness helped the two timid guys. Also, as the present-day ex-gf, her approval mattered a lot for both so that they could move cleanly. It was open-ended, not rushed. i'm totally okay that they will start their relationship from square one after mi-chan crossed over. only thing is mangaka should make a second volume. *Btw as for the bullying it's freaking kiddie kindergarten bullying. It matters but the characters knew that they were just babies at the time.

PWP collection with minimal plot. (except for chap. 7 maybe? the story is good) Stay away if you only read fluffy shoujo-ish BL manga. No need to be rude. 1-3: seme's friend had a debt to him and made arrangements for a collateral. however it's a man who appeared in his doorsteps. at first, this guy's (uke) lending his ass for the debt but seme started to get somewhat jealous? it looks like it's reciprocated, especially on the last part when uke said "laters", meaning he'd come back=they're not over.
