The story and set up are quite simple, but that's what I like about it. No over the top drama or crazy characters, just two people meeting and falling for each other. The two leads are sweet and I can't wait to see their love blossom even more in volume 2.

Iβm liking this so far. Some of the dialogue made it a bit confusing at times, but it seems like itβs going to be a really good slow burn romance!

This was such a lovely and sweet story. It's a bit of a YA/NA vibe that takes place in college.
Youichi Arikawa has terrible eyesight and his contacts hurt. One day, at the train station, he bumps into Shouta Misaki, where Misaki loses his necklace, which ends up in Youichi's bag. Youichi doesn't realise until later, and he couldn't make out what Misaki looked like, so he doesn't know who to return the necklace to. He ends up breaking up with his girlfriend and having weird dreams right after finding the necklace, and considers the two incidents linked. He's determined to find Misaki.
By fluke, Youichi has volunteered to help out in one of the college labs, where Misaki works! They're stuck in a forced-proximity situation, where Youichi learns a bit more about Misaki from rumours and friends. There are rumours that Misaki is gay and got caught being attacked by another male student who was two years older, while on school grounds. Youichi discovers that Misaki has been getting countless calls from a name - Satoru Kawabata - almost every half hour.
There's a big mystery around Misaki and Satoru's history. Misaki is the grumpy to Youichi's sunshine. It's a little strange, as a college story, and the 'dreams' part doesn't really lead anywhere I was expecting, but it's really cute. There's a hint of using the language of flowers too, which is lovely.

I can't find vol 2 for preorder and it makes me so sad.
July 2022. BL Manga about two college students who spend time together working in a biology lab caring for plants.
Nothing particularly unique in the concepts, but I enjoyed this one and liked the characters. Got from Link+ system, waiting on volumes 2-3 to make it to English translation.
βOnly the Flower Knowsβ volume 1 by Rihito Takarai.

I actually liked this a lot more than I was expecting! This seems like itβs full of angst and melodrama, but at least the tone is well developed so it seems more earned than some.
