Boku no Mii-chan by Sonoo Michiru



"Anyone will do. Let's get married." Morio, a wealthy scion, has been a recluse for 10 years. For the sake of his bedridden grandmother, he arranges a marriage interview, but the person who shows up is a tall, beautiful foreigner... a man!? Morio is surprised, but the man, Mitya, gently heals Morio's heart, and Morio proposes to him♥ Mitya formally agrees to move in with Morio, but in fact, Mitya suffered a deep emotional scar in in the past in his homeland!?

My Rate: 7

I have a kink for diffirent sized couple, and in this case it was a really huge difference, 40 cm. Plus the two are from different countries and do not speak each other language, so the contrast was even more evident. The story was surprisingly sweet, there is a little bit of sex, but it's almost an afterthought and it's not so primary, it's not even part of their daily conversation. What instead is the focus of the story is the healing power of love: both Morio and Mitya had soffered losses in the past, and they need to heal their wounds to be able to continue with their life. Two hurting souls finding comfort in each other arms this is what the story is about. The graphic is somewhat ethereal, like the story itself, and it concentrates on the good things, just giving a glimpse on the bad ones.

No Love Zone by Danbi

 

The full-color Boys’ Love webtoon/manhwa (comic) that inspired the animation comes to English print for the first time! Don’t miss this Mature-rated rom-com about a friendly office worker and his handsome (but tyrannical) boss!

It’s been about a year since Lee Eunkyum started working at his office job. He’s outgoing and gets along well with his co-workers, but his success with romantic relationships is less than stellar, especially since he tends to fall hard and fast based on looks alone. History seems poised to repeat itself in the form of his new boss, Han Jihyuk.

The handsome Han Jihyuk is exactly Lee Eunkyum’s type, but his personality is a total turn-off as he proceeds to work Lee Eunkyum to the bone. The more aggravated Lee Eunkyum feels, the more he can’t get Han Jihyuk off his mind. Could this heated attraction be mutual?

My Rate: 7 (amzn.to/3SlwgOX)

I like this one cause it was cute and basically without drama. Sometime I just need something simple, without having to worry too much about the happy ending, and just enjoying the ride towards it. Eunkyum and Jihyuk went to high school together and Jihyuk actually confessed to Eunkyum only to be carelessly rejected. Actually I can sympathize with Eunkyum since Jihyuk was a stranger, they had actually never talked, and being confessed so suddenly wasn't something he had never expected. Plus, yes, Eunkyum was a little vain and Jihyuk not exactly his type. Years later Jihyuk had undergone a growth spurt and is now tall and handsome and Eunkyum's boss... While Eunkyum does not remember him, he is now actually Eunkyum's type, and as I said, the step from colleagues to lovers is short and quick. There is a lot of sex, but it's almost done with a light mood, and therefore is joyous and sexy at the same time. No Love Zone is basically a romance romp, you don't have to expect much deep, but just enjoy it.
