Or Something Like It? Thoughts

Stories like this, slice-of-life and centered around families, especially unconvential ones are my cup of tea.

Two boys, Haruhi and Kouta, get taken in by their uncle Akito who brings them to his girlfriends apartment after their parents die in a car accident. He does this because nowhere else in the family has the space for the two boys. And what comes to follow, is just this beautiful story.

Kinaho, a writer is such a straightforward person. She clearly tells the boys that she won't replace their mom but that she will do everything she can to take care of them. She is so honest with how she reacts and steps into people's business. There is a kindness around her, whether it be at the park helping other kids out or with parents by butting into conversations and speaking her mind.

Haruhi and Kouta grow into their own, and even if their parents being gone looms over them. Both still try to face the world with positivity. Kouta joins the cooking club at his middle school after helping out at home and loves to try new recipes with everyone. Haruhi is just the friendliest kid, and I just love when authors know how to write kids dialogue and action. He reflects what Kinaho tells him to his peers and friends, which creates precious moments.

Seeing how characters interact, grow and change in a mundane setting is what I love most about this genre of stories. It just warms your heart and makes me happy, that stories like this exist.

Watched Dead Boy Detectives...

Where do I start oh god

Spoilers alert

The cat king...

THE CAT KING

Why does EVERY Lucas gage character has a massive chokehold on me?? Why am I acting like Edwin and thinking about the cat king like all the time??? God why???

Edwin was honestly the best character? Like for real

I kinda like Charles but not as much, he's definitely the 5 in the Top 5

Loved Niko and Jenny... Liked Crystal but she annoyed me a bit

Esther was funny, Monty was cute but since I'm back in my ASOUE phase and I kept thinking of Uncle Monty whenever someone mentioned him so it was kinda weird

Edwin and Niko's friendship is my goal in life

ALSO

You already know I'm Cobra Kai fan, so the fact the name is EDWIN PAYNE like... I was giggling every time someone said Edwin's full name

[airisu7425]

August Shopping - Part 1

I start the August posting early because I have already received a couple of packages. I got a big batch of mangas, including the Wotakoi anime guide. I got the latest volume of Kuroneko, Haru, Kachou Fuugetsu, Escape Journey and Boku wa subete... The 5th Border volume is a backlog - someone ordered it for me back then, the drama CD version, but never sent it to me in the end... I got Asou Kai’s new non-BL series - which is a nice surprise, I quite enjoy it so far. As for the Enjin Yamimaru illustrated manga - I was super excited to have her manga, but it has a pretty shocking rape scene in it, I am still not over it... (it’s not her fault though, she is not the author of the story, she is doing the illustration part) Natsume Kazuki’s manga looks gorgeous (& pretty thick) - I did not have time to properly go through it yet.

As for merch - I got casual Yurio nendo (poor baby is still in his box, I have a set up for him in mind, but could not find enough time (and light) to proceed with it)! The plush cap set is just the right size for the nendos - I just ordered the second set of it which has a leopard pattern one. Guess who will wear that. ;) :3

Last but not least, I got the Miira no Kaikata plushies! They are adorable, especially together - the cutest bunch around. XD

I have my GEM Yuuri figure in the country, but it got caught by the customs, meaning I have to pay and extra 35 USD to get him. >_< All because AmiAmi would not send him via ordinary SAL small packet, like other shops would do (those could slide under customs radar, but these shop-exclusive GEM figures can be only bought through AmiAmi... >_<)

to be continued...

Manga Recommendations: Unrequited Series - Drama Edition Part 3

Legends: 💿 - with BLCD ✂️ - unrequited love unreturned/their red string had been cut 😭 ⚰️ - character death ⚠️ - rape 📺 - had an anime or live adaptation

19. Soko ni Suwaru Na by Asou Kai ✂️

Returning from a trip, Hayama finds out that his lover, Maki, had left and asked Namikawa to move in in his stead. Namikawa knows that Maki’s already abandoned Hayama for a woman ‘cause fuck him he wanted kids and sympathizes with Hayama who always waits for Maki’s return on their sofa overlooking the window.

Bitch I don’t usually remember the names of the characters but even if I forget the mcs name I could never forget this asshole’s name. MA-KI. What an asshole. Break it off if you want to, but don’t be such an asshole about it. This is actually one of the first mangas that I reread when I was younger did that even make sense which is why it always holds a special place in my heart. Ah, the age of mangafox. 

20. Sono Kuchibiru ni Yoru no Tsuyu by Fukai Yoki 💿 ⚠️

Wada Tatsuki seems to be an ordinary bus driver, living a simple and peaceful life. However there is a heavy burden he holds in his heart, a terrible thing that he has done in the past. What if one day the man he hurt appears and wants to take revenge?

This is one of my all-time favorite BLCDs. Anyhow, I dare say that this was ahead of it’s time. In my years as a fujoshi, I’ve only come across a few works where the rape is not romanticized - the fear was so apparent in the victim and I was so glad that he didn’t let his love for his attacker override the sin done to him. Yo, this made me cry so much whilst I read the manga. 

21. Soredemo, Yasashii Koi o Suru by Yoneda Kou 💿✂️

The sequel to Doushitemo Furetakunai, Deguchi his name is backdoor I can’t has been in love with Onoda for years ever since they became friends but he’s afraid of scaring him off until Onoda falls for Shima from the prequel. Is this the chance Deguchi’s been waiting for? 

Did I forget to mention that I’m Yoneda Kou trash? I shit you not. Everything she comes out with is gold HAH WAS THAT A SAEZURU REFERENCE? I LOVE DEGUCHI SO MUCH WHAT AN AWKWARD FLUFF BALL. MY HEART CAN’T TAKE HIM. When I thought about making this list he was the first person that came into my mind. 

22. Sorekara, Kimi wo Kangaeru by Komatsu 💿✂️

A collection of four stories about pain. 

That was the best description I’ve ever given, short and succinct. I’d give it away if I put up the description so yeah. I had the BLCD for this too and I wasn’t too into it - I can’t remember if the CD was non-R18 BUT THE MANGA. THE MANGA. The third couple is the only light in the dark of this series. I don’t want to reread this to check if my memory is right but I clearly remember the first story and the pain the fourth story gave me. Would you believe that this is the artist’s debut/first published comic (to my knowledge)? I mean, who puts something like this out there as a debut piece??? What kind of hurt has this person gone through? Why the need???

23. Tamayura by Yukiya Ringo 💿✂️

As the only son of a trading firm, Asakura Michitada enters the dormitory at an all-boys school. There, he is put in the same room as his childhood friend and only person he could trust, Tachibana. But for Asakura, their reunion is something of a more complicated nature.

Oddly enough I listened to it’s BLCD at the same time period with Sorekara, Kimi wo Kangaeru and like the latter I wasn’t too into it UNTIL I read the manga. Now, I don’t remember the manga at all and I don’t want to read it again ‘cause I’m already depressed at it is but I wrote a ‘I don’t deserve this pain’ in my journal entry for this so this passes lol. I’ll reread this when I need to balance the happy out HAHAHA.

24. Uchi Ani no Renai Jijou by Sagami Waka

Touma realizes that he gay for his seductive and also gay onii-chan, Testuo. Although they’re not bound by blood (maybe, thrice removed idk BUT I’M SURE IT’S FINE), Touma is so scared of ruining their relationship because he owes a lot to Tetsuo’s folks for taking him in after his parents die in an accident. Touma did his best to fight it, but his feelings grow too big and he couldn’t hold himself back anymore.

HELLO, SAGAMI WAKA THERE’S AN OPEN SEAT BESIDE YONEDA KOU AND MASAO SANGATSU. AND WHY THE HELL IS TAKAO HERE? GO HOME.

25. Umi To Futari No Enbun Noudo by Unohana

Ryuuta has worked a summer job in Naoki’s pub for several years, falling deeper and deeper in love with him despite Naoki’s long-term girlfriend. But as soon as Ryuuta decides this will be his final summer on the job, he finds out Naoki’s girlfriend is gone, and Ryuuta can no longer resist telling Nao-san about his feelings.

OH MY GOD, STOP. Unohana, there’s an empty seat beside Sagami Waka, Masao Sangatsu, and Yoneda Kou - TAKE YOUR SEAT AND LET’S TALK ABOUT THEM PROBLEMS, OKAY? This is actually lighter than it seems hahaha. I put this up for the cat lol.

26. Yukidoke no Koi by Itz

This beautiful manga follows the story of two men bound together by fate, Someya Yoshiyuki and Sumito Takada. One is a handsome and talented teacher, whilst the other is one of his students who is excitable and striving to be as popular as his teacher and to discover his meaning in the world.

Yo, idk why but despite the fact that this was so sweet and cute okay I broke my own criteria fuck me, I cried every time sensei rejected his confessions 😭. I had to put this on here! The pain is REAL. Itz did a great job in blending the fluff and drama. *stands up and claps
