#yankee boy & the otaku lady

[familyromantic]

Also, if you also sometimes go for older girl/younger boy, I have two very lighthearted generally wholesome picks!

First is 5 Minutes with You at a Convenience Store, which is about a 17 year old convenience store clerk, Shibasaki, and the office lady who frequents the store, unnamed so we just call her OL-san. It’s very low-romance, though Shibasaki has a clear crush on OL-san and she starts to catch some feelings later, so a lot of it is just them interacting with swapping povs. It’s so funny and so cute, and the dynamic between the extremely earnest, deadpan, and at times very dramatic Shibasaki and the very sweet-natured, good-humored, and silly OL-san is excellent. It’s one of my favorite mangas and I highly recommend it for a nice, chill read.

The second is more… controversial haha, but I really enjoy how cute the one-sided crush the kid has on the lead is. Anyway it’s called Yankee Shota to Otaku Oneesan, and it’s about 11 year old delinquent Ryuoh who has a very awkward aggressive childhood crush on his nerdy adult neighbor, Kazuko, who’s a doujin artist with social anxiety and struggles to engage with loud people, extraverts, and guys. So a lot of it is her not knowing how to deal with this scary kid who insists on following her around because he doesn’t know how to deal with his crush on her. It’s very funny, cute, and charming, and I really enjoy how Kazuko has these problematic tastes in fiction but totally treats Ryuoh like a normal kid while respecting his feelings. (There’s also some brocon stuff in the side cast which I love and wish they showed more of.)

Oh no problem, I prefer older m/younger f, but am totally ok with vise versa! First one sounds good! In the second one I don't think I'll ship this, as an adult x a 11 year old is not to my taste, but aside from that doesn't sound bad! Thank you, Ocie :3

I heard that your askbox is open. Can I please request the yankee shota proposing to the otaku oneesan in a funny wholesome way?

Hope this is okay (^^;)

Yankee Boy & the Otaku Lady

Here’s Volume 2′s first chapter at last! We’ve decided to modify the title of this series a bit to better reflect the “oneesan” meaning in Yankee Shota to Otaku Oneesan, kinda, and to avoid confusion about Kazuko’s age.

As always, a huge thanks to the Starving Berries team @mfb467 and @zombiebisque who are awesome.

On other news, we are welcoming a new member to the Berry team. Welcome, Cayuyo (٭′ᵕુ‵)ુ(ૂ′ᵕ‵ॢං)(ૂ′ᵕ‵ॢං)(ૂ′ᵕ‵ॢං)!

He’ll be working with us on the Spanish version of YanOta and also on a new project we’ll be releasing in October. Yay!

Finally, a not so cool announcement: The Berry team will be taking a break from YanOta all of October. We just recently bought the 3rd volume and need time to properly put it together for translation and edition. ᔆᵒʳʳᵞ⌒_:(´□`」 ∠):_
