Now, here is also some random manga reviews. Enjoy!
Catch These Hands! Vol 1: Catch These Hands! is the story of two high school classmates growing up, and figuring out how to be adults essentially. It is sort of billed as a lesbian romance, but it is really more of a comedy with a dash of romance as one of the characters isn't emotionally intelligent enough to be in any real relationship as far as I can tell. This character is Takebe, which I think whether you like her constant expression of anger/confusion/tiredness both in her face, and her general attitude, will determine if this is something for you. I was first annoyed that this wasn't really a romance story, but Soramori trying to help Takebe be the adult she wants to be (though she does have motives that don't seem to align with Takabe yet), and Takabe just sort of angrily going through each thing sort of became charming to me. I'll probably get the 2nd volume at some point just to see if it continues to be funny/interesting.
I Think Our Son Is Gay Vol 1: Sort of like Catch These Hands, it took me awhile to really vibe with this manga, but it got there. It is essentially the same sitcom situation in short from. The mother suspects that her son is gay, and the son is still in the closet, but isn't great at hiding it. The "I just want a boyfriend...GIRLFRIEND I MEANT GIRLFRIEND" situation happens at least once every other story. It gets repetitive in the first half, but once the boy the son likes enters the picture, and we get more into flashbacks, and how the mother figured this out, it became interesting. I ended up staying up to read the last chapter just to see what happens. Not sure if I'll get the 2nd volume yet, but I don't regret getting volume 1.
