I liked this! This was cute and really funny. I'm still amused that there seems to be a manga for every kind of scenario you can think of (but really, it does seem like a dream come true for the part of me that's still a teenage girl ridiculously fond of silly m/m romances). This one is set in a manga editorial department.
I will say that there are still some things I find a bit weird, but what's really interesting for me is to see how I'm learning to read and appreciate this medium. I can think of a few examples that I really didn't like, as well as some that I liked a lot, and - right, I know this sounds silly, but I know I'm not the only person who does that sort of thing: A few weeks ago I thought I didn't like manga as a whole and now I've already learned that that's not true. Ok, that doesn't have much to do with this manga specifically, but it's something I apparently need to remind myself of. (This isn't just true for manga, either - I mean, just look at the different samples of chick lit I've read this year: one was absolutely horrible, one was adorable and one was okay.) The lesson may just be that one shouldn't just dismiss an entire genre or medium. *gasp* (I suspect that may even be true for "vampire" fiction, but I'm not willing to go there just yet.)
Anyway! This is a learning process for me, and I'm having a lot of fun and it is awesome that there's always more to discover when it comes to reading. :D

Okay, I just love this series. Yes, this is as ridiculous as Junjo Romantica, but it's also as much fun as that series, and it's cute and adorable and really, really sweet. Considering how much I seem to crave this sort of thing at the moment I haven't read enough fluff in the last weeks months years.
The art is ugly as hell, but it's a fun read if you want to remember the days of Gravitation-esque YOU ARE THE ONLY GAY BL manga.
Also, Onodera's a gem, with his constant state of Freaking the Fuck Out Always making him relateable as well as funny. He deserves better though.

Miss matching memories and meeting ten years latter... this story is off to a good start. Ritsu is the grumpy newbie (love it) and Masamune is the grumpy and exacting boss. Masamune is going to get Ritsu to fall in love with him again, he is determined.

Hm. Not what I was hoping for. I was so bored through all the work talk and the romance wasn't good enough to make up for it. I was hoping for something cuter. I reallyyy liked the art style though so I'm super disappointed.
