    MANGA: Mimitabu no Riyuu

    June 5, 2020 / No Comments
    耳たぶの理由』|感想・レビュー - 読書メーター

    Mimitabu no Riyuu – Kunieda Saika

    1) Mimitabu no Riyuu (A Reason for Earlobes)
    Yamaguchi is a notorious womanizer. Some men admire him; others can’t stand him. Ishikawa is definitely one of the latter. Nevertheless, when Yamaguchi’s latest girlfriend dumps him, Ishikawa jokingly offers to comfort him with his own body. Unfortunately for Ishikawa, Yamaguchi takes the offer seriously. And, to make matters worse, Ishikawa discovers that he can’t say no!

    2) Yubisaki no Biyaku (Love Potion Fingertips)
    Ishikawa and Yamaguchi are dating, but Yamaguchi’s lovey-dovey behavior makes Ishikawa sick. Hoping to put Yamaguchi in his place, Ishikawa suggests that they “see other people.” But things take a turn for the worse when each one catches the other with a beautiful woman.

    3) Kuchibiru no Teppen (The Top of the Lip)
    Ishikawa usually wears an irritable scowl. So why is he laughing and smiling so happily? Is it because he likes homemade sweets… or the cute girl who made them? Consumed with jealousy, Yamaguchi’s patience is pushed to the limit.

    4) Tsumuji no Mannaka (The Center of the Hair Whorl)
    Ishikawa’s nightmare is in danger of become reality. His boyfriend, Yamaguchi, is trying to win over his family! Fearing for his future, Ishikawa forbids Yamaguchi to visit his home, but Yamaguchi is determined to get close to the Ishikawas, one way or another. If Ishikawa won’t accept him, then maybe Ishikawa’s sister, Hitomi, will…

    These two are idiots. Never change!

    Yamamuro Yuuki is a talented star who has caught the eyes of many people. He’s been toying with a young and seemingly innocent actor named Sawaki Mitsuru, who stars opposite him in a drama. To make matters worse, Ootaki, the producer of “Casual Lover”, is also after Sawaki. The curtains have lifted on the game of love between these proud men!

    Rival actors falling in love with each other should have been riveting stuff. Unfortunately, this felt forced.

    Double Mints – Nakamura Asumiko

    “We can’t live without each other. You’re my other half.”
    “I’ve killed a woman.” The domineering voice on the phone was that of a high school classmate, Mitsuo Ichikawa. Buried memories from the past resurface in the heart of a man with the same name, Mitsuo Ichikawa. It drags him right back into the passions of the past. They reunite as accomplices, yet their relationship as master and servant slowly changes into something new…

    Fucked up, intense, very twisty and oddly touching.
