An overall mellow and refreshing read and personal favorite. Read the oneshots in Ringo ni Hachimitsu before you read this one. There's something about Hideyoshico's art style that I find highly appealing - absolutely love the line work
Chapter 2 is the prequel to the Kare no Barairo no Jinsei. Chapter 1 is a fluffy oneshot related to the story.
Mellow read. Art style reminds me of Kyuugou. Really nice.
The angst is real. I normally hate incest, but this story is so well done that I'll recommend it. (Plus, it's one-sided so w/e) Beautifully composed art and poignantly written.
Unfortunately it's dropped by the mangaka, which is a shame, because I used to be quite fond of it.
I really only cared about the first couple, because Haruto is a beautiful dork king.
First couple: salaryman from the boonies x uke with an air of mysteriousness (he's really just an innocent airhead)
Really adorable. While I normally dislike tsundere ukes AND most childhood friend stories, this one is an exception.
T/W: CSA So much ANGST. I read this several times and I'm still unsure what the plot's really about... something involving drugs, a dead cousin, and the mourning after. It's vignette-ish. Still very much worth a read, though it might be depressing for some; gritty realism isn't everyone's cup of tea.
Expressionless and antisocial stylist begins to break out of his shell after the slow process of befriending his persistent yet affable coworker. Really nice translation, equally amazing art, courtesy of Enzou.
