Pretty light read!Story revolves around a reunion between a broke playboy who loves animals a whole lot and a childhood friend of sorts who's been heavily involved with animals his whole life.A simple unrequited crush turned mutual, but the initial dynamic between the two is more like a cautious mouse versus a carnivorous cat. I was a huge fan of the art style, very dynamic and clean, and suited the story's style. The art also complimented the character's designs extremely well.I also wished the coworkers got a spin-off or at least another chapter because they're both idiots, but in different senses, so when you put them together, you end up with all sorts of chaos.A heads up for the subtle dub-con with the main couple in the beginning, mainly since alcohol was involved. I don't mind it, but I know others might be put off by that.Overall, pretty light story, but the characters make it worthwhile! I like the pairs presented!

I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed this one! Narumi starts off trying to save his grandpa's restaurant and bumps into Toshio, his old classmate from middle school.He finds out Toshio's a money lender, asks for his help, and you guessed it right folks, Toshio says he has to pay with his body.Afterwards, you get to see some bits and pieces of their history through Narumi's memories, and he slowly becomes aware of his own feelings towards Toshio. It's a push-pull start, but eventually they do end up together and make a good couple. Narumi is still pretty confident, which I actually enjoyed from his character. Toshio becomes a bit more open with his feelings, due to his unreauited love for Narumi being requited at the end of it all. It had some funny moments, but overall, it's a decent read!

A story about a sis-con, and his relationship with his younger sister's friend. Some blackmail of course coming from the friend when they have a reunion in college. Nothing out of the ordinary in that trope, I did feel like it was cut off too early in their actual relationship development though. There could have been another extra, or at least some more banter between Arisu and Miyako, because their friendship dynamic was interesting; just seeing her reaction at the end wasn't enough for me to be content with it haha.Like stated earlier, its nothing new, and the art's nice too. I just wished it could have a bit more development at the end since realistically speaking, only the extra showed them after they officially started dating.Shout out to the protective older brother trope:)

I really loved this one! Heartfelt and more of a slow-burn romance with a focus on Riku's growth as a person once he's reached the fork in his life. The focus of the story isn't Shou, which is what the preview makes it to be, it's actually Riku. You see him in his teenage years, and then the story is mainly in his early adulthood. You see his internal struggles and awkwardness the more you get into it, but you also end up seeing personal growth once Shun is in the picture. I was pleasantly suprised with that addition, because you expect him to just be a side character who helped Shou once, but he also ends up helping Riku in an unexpected way. I genuinely enjoyed this one because romance wasn't used as the focal point, it just came naturally as the story progressed. This one was more about rebuilding lost connections with others, and finding reason within life again. I'd highly recommend it if you want to see a character grow and fix their past mistakes to become a better person.

I genuinely loved the story and pacing of this one!The beginning had some extremely dubious consent (Hinata more or less forced himself onto Asahi, but Asahi eventually gave into it). The relationship between them started off a bit on the push/pull side, but they gradually came to a mutual "I love you" status. Childhood friend turned lover, with the twist of an age gap AND an older bottom. I took my time to read it through and kept laughing at how much Asahi held himself back mentally for the drama portion that happens. The relationship between them doesn't feel forced(minus thr start of it), and the author also inserted a similar interedt between them that sometimes brings up cute flashbacks. I liked the art, and the smut was pretty alright too. The pacing is good too! Nothing felt too fast or out of place.If anything, rent first and then see if y'all like it!

I really wanted to like this manga because of it's art and interesting premise based off of the summary, but it felt so disjointed once I got to reading it. I don't want to spoil anything, but nothing really makes much sense until the 5th chapter or so, that is, because a character lays it all out for the reader and MC.I also felt as if the chemistry between the teacher and his student just...didn't seem to exist, it felt more as if the teacher was just his "outlet" so to speak, but the last chapter gave you a sliver that the student actually DID kind of catch feelings for his teacher.My main gripe was the lack of care put into the main couple, especially since theres a lot of unexplained things going on with them. There were lots of missing interaction between them to build up a somewhat decent relationship(minus the initial assault.) It was strange since they were always together, but oh well.I went in blind with this story and felt more confused than content with my purchase.

Art is a solid 10 outta ten. Theres two stories in this manga and both are pretty good. The first involves a nurse and a patient who initially meet at a bar and things go on from there, and the other one is about a teacher with his nephew and a co-worker. The second one has a threesome that ends up pretty solid all around (wow!). Its a whole lot of smut, but it still made for a pretty good read. Rent it and see if it suits your tastes, I ended up purchasing it afterwards just for the quality in the artwork tbh.

I've read this series more than four times and it just gets better and better somehow. The relationship between these two is just, there's highs and lows in it that make you think, "They really are in love and it shows with their speech and actions." They're such an endearing couple, and I love how the things Chikashi received throughout the series remained consistent, even in the final volume. I loved the coworkers just looking out for them even in this couple's rough patch. I just love this cast of characters, and its simple story of an ordinary office romance.

Warning: Pee to look out for with the first couple.I didn't mind it, but others might stray away from that type of thing; the first couple has that going for them at least. The story itself is nice, part-timer slowly falls for a a customer and they slowly become friends and eventually lovers. He finds out how different he is day/night and they go on from there. The second couple involves a manicurist who cross-dresses for his side job and an office worker who fell in love at first glance. Their story is fun in the sense of the manicurist's personality doing a complete 180 once he gets to know more about the office worker and falls for him. It got a bit messy with the manicurist's side job client, but even then I guess it helped the manicurist take his feelings more seriously. Office worker was very pure with his understanding of romance so that was fun to witness.I bought it for the pee couple but its an overall fun read lol.
