so-soThis was a cute manga romance in which cafe worker Riku accidentally gets with the owner of the cafe after another breakup. I just didn't care for the miscommunication trope. The whole time he's convinced it's just a friends with benefits situation. Josh lets him believe it because it enables Riku to be himself without the pressure of a relationship title but I wanted him to be more forthright about his feelings
pickIt looks like the second book, Theory of Happiness isn't quite on Litsy yet. I really enjoyed the character exploration we get in this second volume as Tai explores career options in accessibility and Kohei works to understand the ways an inaccessible society have impacted his behavior and social relationships over time. Some very sweet moments in their relationship growth as well. #manga #LGBTQIA #DisabilitiesRep
so-soI'd recommend this even though I give it a so-so rating because it's a pretty cute story. I enjoyed watching this quiet, extremely awkward nerd navigate his major crush on the local delivery guy. There are a lot of shining moments like the jogging thing and both men struggling with feeling like they're enough. The character development could have been better, though, especially for side characters. #manga #lgbtqia
pickAnyone aim to review a volume and then find themselves 8 volumes in? Volume 1-7 are PAIN (and I‘m sure the rest of the series is as well). This is a tough story with tough subjects; it‘s hard to read. But it‘s the characters that really keep you coming back for more. I want all to read this and watch the anime, but I know it‘s heartbreaking from the very first volume to the very end.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
panThis book is what happens when someone comes up with a spicy smut idea, dresses it up in weak character and story development, and then gets shy and pulls back from their spicy smut idea and only half executes it. I didn‘t expect this to be very good, and it wasn‘t. I didn‘t bother to add it to any of my ongoing reading challenges. The art is pretty, though. #manga #lgbtqia
I‘ve fallen behind my Goodreads reading goal, so to catch up I‘m finally picking up this series. Wish me luck, because the anime made me cry for about 13 hours. Emotional damage.
pickThis was just the level of sugar-saturated fluff I was looking for. While grieving the end of yet another short-lived relationship, Riku manages to fall into what seems like a quick rebound with none other than the man who owns the cafe he works at. An appallingly adorable read. The author does a good job of allowing Riku the space he needs to grow and explore his own insecurities as he navigates this new relationship.
Why does this look like a #manga variation of the Arthur fist meme? 🤣
I started this series earlier today, and after reading two books, I immediately went to the library to nab the rest of the series. It's about a growing relationship between two male teens. One has a hearing impairment. As their friendship grows, so do romantic feelings. I'm such a sucker for the BL genre #fujoshi 🥰 With disability representation to boot, it's a definite win.

pickThis was as spicy and funny as the cover and title imply. It was a fun read with interesting relationship dynamics (bordering on problematic at times) as Shiki and Enraku competed for Atsushi‘s attention, and entertaining characters. #LGBTQIA
