    Chishiyoubun no Ai wa Komete – Jaryuu Dokuro

    Uchida’s never ever been in love. He doesn’t know what it’s like to be restless and uneasy, to have his body heat up like it’s on fire, to feel that tight pain in his chest. And then he meets Takahashi, and everything changes

    Endless World – Jaryuu Dokuro

    Ikki, an optimist who isn’t afraid of anything, begins working at a small restaurant when he finds himself charmed by the owner. It’s there that he runs into Ryuu, and from Ryuu, he hears Toshimitsu’s name, one that’s oddly familiar.
    Neither Ikki nor Ryuu can seem to get away from Toshimitsu, and now their mysterious shared past will lead to an unknown future.

    An NSFW manga with drugs and abuse but somehow managed to be evocative, intense and emotional.

    Ai ga Love Shite You Nanosa – Jaryuu Dokuro

    Oono is unable to properly do his uniform check job because his adoration of Takeuchi distracts him, and Takeuchi mistakes this for Oono hating him and is sad at the idea of being disliked by the model student. Thus, Takeuchi is relieved and willing to reciprocate when he finds out that it isn’t hate but instead love that makes Oono so very awkward around Takeuchi.

    Oono and Takeuchi are soo cute! I want to see them still together after 10 years. The ArataxShigexShingo situation is open ended…No!!!
