    Kimiiro Eden – Aomoto Sari

    Iga is a famous landscaper. But for some reason, he was left out of a big project and was appointed to be foreman of a small garden in the outskirts. Growing tired of it, Iga couldn’t accept that fact but when he met a client named Asakura, something in him is starting to change…

    I must be some sort of perverted bastard as I found the Asakura family cute but I couldn’t really care less about the kindergarten kids in the story. I was meh at the start but the story grew on me. This is slow burn and full of unspoken feels.

    Shuuden Elegy – Muno

    Reversed Escape (Ch1) “I like you, Senpai.” “Ah, but I’m not gay.” One day, Ryou received a confession from his kouhai, Miki. Despite receiving a blunt answer, Miki did not give up but rather, insisted on following around Ryou everyday, thus starting a game of tag between the two of them. But who is actually chasing who? Alone Again (Ch2) Bright and cheerful, Ayase always finds himself surrounded by people, yet he constantly shows a sad expression. Gloomy and quiet, Tooyama is the only person in the class who noticed this, and is attracted to that side of Ayase. The day Tooyama finally found a chance to talk to Ayase, was when he asked Ayase what he’s so afraid of, leaving Ayase dumbfounded. There’s no way we can be friends after that, Tooyama thought. However, during the following day, Ayase, who has always turned down everyone’s invitation, invited him to go home together. Boundary of Atmosphere (Ch3) After being apart for a few years, Kyousuke was surprised to run into his old friend, Yuu, in town. Just like it had been in the past, Yuu has always been a good friend; kind and calm, his presence feels just as natural as the air. But how could Yuu kiss and invite Kyousuke’s lover to his house so calmly, even after Kyousuke directly confronted him? Red and Blue (Ch4) Since high school is ending anyway, I should just tell him even though I’ve got no shot at having a relationship with him, is what I thought when I confessed to my friend, Aoi. To my surprise, Aoi said “Okay”. Wait, this means Aoi likes me, right? You don’t know?! I’ve always known that Aoi is slow but I didn’t expect him to be this slow about his feelings too… Last Train Elegy (Ch5) I’m meeting you at the terminal station Kenji and Tama first met on a station platform. Tama’s eyes were red from crying after being dumped by his boyfriend and he was curled up like a ball, just like a cat. Under his watchful glare, Kenji actually thought that “love at first sight" really does exist. Even though Kenji falls more and more in love with him every time they meet, Tama still laughs and cries whenever he talks about his ex-boyfriend. Yet, suddenly, he kisses him… “It’s because I like you that I want you to cheer you on.“ "I want you to know that such kindness exists, too.”

    Sonna Me de Mitekure – Moudama Chokusen

    Mikado is the ridiculously narcissistic student council president who one day falls for a boy who his charms don’t seem to work on…

    I only read this because of the Levi-looking cover. Expected it to be dark, psychological and dramatic. Turned out to be loud, slapsticky and all over the place.
