Sekaiichi Hatsukoi
multiple couples from a manga publishing house but my favourite pair is not here but had a novel of their own so meh. Not bad for romance manga tho. Here's my OTP: yokozawa x kirishima light novel. https://ytnb01.pressbooks.com
Baka de Guzu wa Daikirai
#reencounter #unrequited love lil bro has liked his brother's best friend and tagged along them even when they grew up. bro's buddy is kind of slow in acting (or a coward?) to it w/c caused lil bro endless pain. just that... both of them are idiots that it took them this long. --- ch. 7: extra oneshot about a scary-faced but well-meaning sushi chef and a gay man who sucks on choosing men to fall inlove with.
Yume wo Miru Hima mo Nai
#college dorm life, #aviation school #FLUFF HEADS STAY AWAY (you'll hate seme). As straight as he is, he is slowly warming up to his dormmate until a night's flurry of revelation and figuring out that he might be in love but the guy is gone. fast forward to their working life, then a #reencounter and he was barraged with a ton of whatifs from the past. amazing manga with beautiful art. i recommend
Cucumber Sandwich
Despite it being open-ended and more slice-of-life than anything, it's a wacky story of a poor, struggling guy who ventured into making a cafe. I like how he does his best with his dreams despite being poor, baby-faced and quite underwhelming all in all. Also, the people that he manages to draw in are amazing in their own way I see this shop becoming a good one. Open-ended but I would have loved to read more of their everyday lives in the cafe. Oh well, there's always rereading.
