5/10 when a naive Prince of hell escapes to earth to get away, he encounters someone far worse than any devil. His naivety puts him in debt to this person, but he doesn't understand what he's feeling as time goes on. Cute, funny and unique. Definitely going to re-read.
5/10 this was hilarious! During a drinking party, Aoi can't drink but is instead inebriated via chocolates and is taken care of by Kobayashi. Through idle chitchat, Kobayashi reveals that he's too big for girls so they always leave him and that's why he's still a virgin. Aoi is so curious he pulls down Kobayashi's pants to see if it's true. Thus begins the start of a weird, kind of pitiful and hilarious relationship.
6/10 Haru used to be a yakuza in the past & was in a relationship with the young master who died. When that happened, he was able to leave by using a tattoo parlor as a cover for some yakuza business. When the little brother of his lover needs a place to lie low, he's the best option. He's not sleeping anyway, so all it is another annoyance. But will anything change for either of them when one is stuck and the past and the other doesn't want his own future?
7/10 Yura has one enemy: his nephew's unsociable pre-school teacher. Yura is gay and has an unrequited love for someone but when that someone rejects him in the most degrading way, Mr unsociable comes to his defence, pretending to be his bf. Really great art and a really good story.
8/10 I really enjoyed the fact that this was a nother manga that although had rape, the uke didn't take it well and let the guy have it. Kuruma is a closet gay fantasizing about Kirishima while they're on a production together. When they get stuck in a cabin on the beach due to a storm, Kirishima gives in to his own fantasies and rapes kuruma. Even though he wanted it, he can't accept his own feelings. How will this end?
5/10 this gets a low score because of the translators' unnecessary comments throughout the series which kills a lot of the moments. A stone allows a person to see who they love in their dreams and actually interact with them. Where can this take a boy who seems to have forgotten his childhood friend and the childhood friend who can't forget the boy who saved him and kissed him! Lots of ups and Downs. A little drawn out but overall good.
6/10 it's a nice, easy, relatable story with a smooth ride. No drastic drama, but it was handled so well that it totally leaves you satisfied. Not all romances are crazy after all! Kurihara desperately wants to beat Kawase, but it seems that Kawase doesn't even know that. They both have family circumstances on their plate that makes them fight for #1. But Kawase is genuinely concerned for the overworked Kurihara. Will his kind heart crack Kurihara's hard exterior?
3/10 I wasn't going to put this on my list, but it had a sweet ending. It was getting a little too much there but it kept me hooked. Minjae and Woochan end up switching bodies and it turns out that maybe they have more of a history than either of them knows.
8/10 Really enjoyable story about two teachers who have both had some pretty bad trauma happen to them that makes one feel that love isn't real, and if it is, it won't last so why not have fun and exploit people's weaknesses ehilr he's at it? The other can only reconcile pleasure with pain but hasn't realized it yet and does not know how to do anything other than go with the flow. Great expressions and a steady, interesting story without too much fuss.
10/10 One of my favorites! I can't even tell you how many times I've reread this. Two people whose relationship fell apart due to the harsh words of adolescence. Can they make it work as adults, or are they destined to repeat the same mistakes?

To anyone subscribed, there is a continued version of this list and there will be more continuations, I'm sure, as in continue to read. The list's continuations will be numbered and will be the same format and follow the aamw guidelines as this one.
Okay, so it won't let me edit the summary I did for this list, so I just want to add that I will be ranking the manga out of ten, but rest assured it takes a regular 5 or 6 to actually make it on this list as I read manga daily.
Totally agree with you on Junko!
