classmates, now officemates, friends for probably a decade now one of the best friends to lovers manga. very sweet and touching. the storytelling is great that you could identify on the dillemas of couples that has been friends for ages before hitching together. not to mention adjustments of being in a gay relationship with your straight friend whom you were in just a platonic relationship only a little while back. #mild smut

2017 Update: Lowkey assuming it's on hiatus but I'm so glad it got picked up. Rereading. Very pretty art. Character look the same so I'm starting to think the mangaka intended to make them AN ALTERNATIVE INCARNATION of the MCs? | Chapters Synopsis Ch.1, ch. 5 page 36-48: genius chocolatier that is quite forward in expressing his feelings. he's the one that first confessed to the stupid seme. .// Ch.2: A prince who is actually far from being one. he's a clutz, absent-minded and badly needed assistance. then a really pretty guy (yet had a complex about being called girly-looking) proclaimed they were rivals and bet on winning the beauty pageant. #popular x popular. #rivalry love #male pageant. .//. Ch 3: #childhood friends who always competed since small for everything: from school to their part-time job... well, it's just mostly the smaller guy tho. And he's pissed that the black-haired boy is so chill. One day he lost a best and instead of a punch he got a kiss. Bothered, he's became very conscious about it. This kid is so tsundere! LFMAO. #cool seme x #tsundere uke, #rivalry #friends to lovers. ch. 4: The premise is cutely amusing. Uke mistook a crossdressed actor as a women so he fell inlove at first sight and confessed. Interesting enough, despite that they still kept their relationship. Oneshot started with them going out for one month already and uke thought it should be enough to progress to going all the way. One thing he did not expect tho: He's the one on the receiving role instead of his beautiful actor lover. #bully seme x naive uke / actor seme x ordinary uke. ch. 5: OMG hilarious. A young and handsome man is trying out to be a seiyuu (voice actor) and the kind neighbor enjoys his voice. And because of one compliment, this young guy started acting odd, and it's kind of embarrassing especially when the MC salaryman kept rebuffing him with matter-of-fact replies it almost came out as sarcastic hahaha. ✫3.5

a fast-ball confession in the most deadpan face ever. lol. mysterious happenings surrounded him after going back and it's all related to this high school crush of his. and a black cat. a happy-go-lucky, mysterious uke x serious salaryman seme. #reencounter as adults, more or less 16 yrs.
