Eiko Kagehara truly loves one thing in this world: the MMO she’s played with her friends for the last 15 years, in which she leads a fantasy life as a sought-after blacksmith. But when her friends start leaving to, of all things, get married, have kids, find new jobs…she’s thrown for a loop. So much so, in fact, that she drunkenly shares her gamer ID with her super-hot new colleague…who just happens to have been helped by her in-game in the past, and who wants to repay her by teaching her how to love?!

258. Koigakubo-kun Stole My First Time, Vol. 1 - licensed - An office worker on the verge of 30, who has spent her life playing video games instead of dating, catches the eye of a younger guy from a partner company, who decides to make a play for her. It's definitely cute, but it's also a bit frictionless. I'll probably read more if I see it on sale.

NEW Kodansha Digital:

💖Koigakubo-kun Stole My First Time, Volume 6💖 By Rin Miasa

🌻“I realised that I can get pretty jealous. So…I hope that’s okay.” Now that they’ve become a “real couple” both in body and soul, Eiko prepares to meet the parents!

the first volume of koigakubo-kun stole my first time was pretty cute, it didn't grab me that hard but I think it's sweet how the guy kinda totally fell for her despite being honest about his initial intentions. he's just generally very honest with her actually. and I think it's great that her competency and attention to detail are being repeatedly praised and romanticized without it seeming like she's pushing herself Too Hard (like eg you're my pet). I also like that the initial point of change isn't that she wants love directly, or she suddenly develops a crush, it's that her beloved friend is getting married and that rattles her. (they sort it out and she's able to congratulate her earnestly and so on), as well as the mc remembering that even if her friend has less time for their video game they're still friends.)

so there's some aspects of it I really like, and nothing that bores or irritates me. but at the same time, I don't feel like, excited about it. so I may or may not get more someday, but for today it's good but enough.

  Manga publishing company Kodansha USA today announced its May 2022 slate of new digital manga licenses, which came with cover reveals, synopses, release dates and free-to-read first chapters for all eight series.

  Here's what's coming to Bookwalker, Kindle, Apple Books, Google Play, Nook, Kobo, izneo, MyAnimeList and other platforms next month:

    Changes of Heart by KUJIRA, releasing on May 3, 2022.

  After being dumped by her boyfriend, Koyori went to her longtime friend Hijiri’s house to drink away her sorrow…and ended up spending the night with him! Not only that, he tells her he loves her—and she’s not sure how to reconcile the new development with someone she’s known since they were kids. After all, the stakes are high—if things don’t work out, she’ll hurt one of her closest friends. And to make matters worse, her ex wants to patch things up…? Koyori needs to figure out what she wants, before she loses it all.

      Oh, Those Hanazono Twins by Nena Kitajima, releasing on May 3, 2022.

  Tatara Tani is so average it hurts—the only thing he has going for him is that his childhood friends are ultra-popular idol Yuriko Hanazono and her fashionable twin, Ranko Hanazono! They’re both his classmates, and his long-standing relationship with them makes others seethe. So he thinks he’s hit the jackpot when Yuriko asks him to the amusement park with her, even though idols aren’t allowed to date. She dresses up as Ranko to fool the world, but when her ruse is discovered by the school, it’s up to the REAL Ranko to save her sister’s reputation…by dating Tatara herself? This crazy rom-com of errors begins!

      This Vampire Won't Give Up! by Madoka Kitaji, releasing on May 10, 2022.

  Minami has awful luck with men—she falls for their looks only to find that they’re the worst of the worst. So when she finds out that her next work assignment involves a good-looking, rude-off-the-bat man, she feels just fine about kissing any feelings for him goodbye…that is, until she finds out he’s the son of the author of her favorite childhood picture book series, Bride of the Vampire. But the rude son soon changes his tune, and Minami doesn’t have long before she discovers the secret his gorgeous lips hide…

      When a Cat Faces West by Yuki Urushibara, releasing on May 17, 2022.

  Flow—the phenomenon that occurs when matter falls out of balance and changes form. Flow creates oddities big and small that can be disruptive or delightful in equal measure, and it’s up to Flow Disposal departments and independent contractors to shepherd the Flow back to its natural form. For Chima Kondo, a 35-year-old woman stuck in the body of a 12-year-old thanks to the effects of Flow, understanding how Flow works and how to disperse it has become critical. But when she joins Flow Disposal contractors Hirota and Shacho of Hirota Flow Inc., she finds that there’s more to Flow than she once knew, and plenty more to find out… A supernatural story from the author of Mushishi!

      The Untouchable Midori-kun by Toyo Toyota, releasing on May 17, 2022.

  Talk about meet-cutes… Misaki doesn’t recognize her cute new neighbor when he comes to formally introduce herself…until he reminds her that they went to school together for years! But Midori Tachibana is no longer the awkward kid she remembers—he’s the leader of Japan’s hottest new idol group! But their fated meeting is cut short when he finds out she’s an adult film actress…and he can’t be seen with her if he’s to preserve his squeaky-clean idol image! But can the chemistry between them be so easily erased? A sex-positive, sweet idol rom-com for fans of Tokyo Tarareba Girls and Ex-Enthusiasts!

      Koigakubo-kun Stole My First Time by Rin MIasa, releasing on May 24, 2022.

  Eiko Kagehara truly loves one thing in this world: the MMO she’s played with her friends for the last 15 years, in which she leads a fantasy life as a sought-after blacksmith. But when her friends start leaving to, of all things, get married, have kids, find new jobs…she’s thrown for a loop. So much so, in fact, that she drunkenly shares her gamer ID with her super-hot new colleague…who just happens to have been helped by her in-game in the past, and who wants to repay her by teaching her how to love?! A brand-new rom-com from the author of With the Sheikh in His Harem!

      Our Fake Marriage: Rosé by Kiwi Tokina, releasing on May 24, 2022.

  Remi Nikitani is no shy violet—she’s elegant, direct, and ambitious, with plans to take over her father’s corporation. So she’s not interested in marrying for business or political reasons. After all, why be saddled with someone she doesn’t love when she can make her way to the top by herself? But when her father sets her up with Jun Arata, a young hotshot in his own right and someone who knows about the unrequited love Remi fostered for years, she’s thrown for a loop. She rejects him, of course, but somehow he keeps finding his way back into her life. But is he interested in her? Or does he only want to take over her business and leave her in the dust? A sexy spinoff of Our Fake Marriage!

      The Rokudo Rounds by Serina Oda, releasing on May 31, 2022.

  En has no prospects as a child of the slums—he ekes out a living by selling the scrap cyborg augmentations he scavenges to anyone who will buy. But when he’s forced to go through some unethical experimentation, he transforms—making him eligible to become a fighter in the only thing that matters in this bleak world: The Rokudo Tournament!

Koigakubo-kun ni wa Hajimete wo Ubawaremashita

[topfavefollowedongoingmanga]

I normally don't promote manga that have slightly mature content... but this one is an exception. It's heartwarming, very honest and very consensual that make all imperfect relationships look up and aspire to one day find love like that or be in this ideal (probably - not realistic) relationship.

I loved it so much that I actually bought volume 6 of this manga and read all chapters. It is also my first 'owned' on kobo manga, so it does have a special place in my heart.
