Some characters just make you wish for their happiness, and for me Tomoaki from "Gelateria Supernova" is that kind of character. He starts off as being very dejected and quietly resigned to whatever comes his way, and it's sure to make you feel a pang in your heart. It's especially touching when he starts to realize that the person he has only ever joined bodies with is becoming someone quite irreplaceable to his heart, too.

You might be a little confused as to how a hustler, of all people, can exactly be pure-hearted. Doesn't that seem like a contradiction? In fact, it's absolutely possible to be both! At work, Haruya gives his body up very easily, but he refuses to lay a finger on his best friend, because Kazushi is too important to him. I can feel my heart squeezing painfully in my chest! Isn't that exactly what pure-heartedness is!? You also definitely can't miss Kazushi's inner pervert coming out!

Do you prefer stories that lead up to the relationship or the ones that tell of what happens after the main couple gets together? I must say I'd rather read the former! I like savoring the process of how two guys slowly realize they're attracted to one another and how they get together step by step. If you also enjoy manga like that, "Falling Slowly" is definitely for you.

They say that you can only despise someone you have strong feelings for- and sometimes that hate stems from secret respect and admiration. Daiki despises Rihito, mostly because he's perfect and acts like he knows it too. But, when the two are forced to become roommates, Daiki learns more and more about Rihito, and his passion for airplanes, strong enough to rival his own. Yaoi manga set in airports are quite rare, and the relationship between the pilot and the mechanic is portrayed in an original way as well.

Quite a memorable conversation takes place right at the start of this story. Junpei asks, "So if I weren't covered in vomit, you'd kiss me?", to which the object of his secret crush replies "Sure." It makes you want to scream at him to say that when he's sober! This heartwarming manga will be the new addition to your secret stash of fluffy romance!

Sakuichi Teijin and Ryota Kishi were always together throughout kindergarten up until junior high, and, being neighbors, they didn't even separate after school. However, Saku comes from a powerful family of plutocrats and Ryota's living conditions are more than humble. It's really cute how Ryota gets all embarrassed when Saku proclaims his unchanging love to Ryota, despite being very popular.

Don't you feel like reading stories about spring even more in winter? "The Scent of Spring" is, as you can probably tell from the title, a wonderful story about spring. The slow-burn romance between a mysterious man who comes to buy flowers on the same day every month, and the florist- just the description alone gives you the impression of a hopeful, touching love story, doesn't it? "The Scent of Spring" is an anthology, but every chapter is poignant and memorable.

Personality is the most important thing, but physical appearance is also a part of what makes someone attractive. Izumo suddenly finds himself getting praised by the object of his one-sided crush, Muroto. "I like you! I like... your face! Actually... you're good material!" He's simultaneously confused and happy, and his flustered face is especially cute.

This story is quite grand in its scope: a futuristic tale of a man who committed suicide to join his lover in death, but then ended up awaking from cryogenic sleep 250 years in the future. And, the first thing he sees then is an android who is the spitting image of his lover... Needless to say, their relationship is bound to get more than just a little complicated. You'll definitely be drawn in by the way Torao starts off seeing the android as a mere replica, only to begin viewing him in a completely different light over time.

It's a wonderful thing to discover a new side to someone, especially when it's the complete opposite of the first impression they give. That discovery becomes a treasure that you want to lock away safely in your heart. The first thing everyone notices about Yukiya is that he's strikingly beautiful and difficult to talk to. However, the more Takumi learns about Yukiya, the more obvious it becomes that Yukiya is actually extremely shy and makes people (especially Takumi himself) feel protective of him. This story explores their relationship with great attention to detail and subtle changes that show their evolving dynamic.
