ALT New License: Will You Take a Bath with Me? Story and art by Maki Marukido. A housing arrangement between two co-workers leads to more than the house getting squeaky clean! A sweet Boys’ Love romance manga from the author of Pornographer and Even If You Close Your Eyes, You Can See the Light. Kazuya is allowing his junior colleague, Mika, to stay in his place in exchange for taking care of the housework. Mika is grateful for the arrangement but quickly learns his senior has a peculiar trait: he hates taking baths! Can Mika manage to get everything–and everyone—squeaky clean, or will this arrangement turn into a mess? ©Maki Marukido 2025 / AKITASHOTEN Co., Ltd. Available from Seven Seas Entertainment October 2027 (Print/Digital).
you know i always have to have a Weird Answer to every prompt. i think my criteria is NOT manga that i like but rather:
- a short(er) series with some sort of "hook"
- has opportunity for cool sakuga moments
- room for expansion/adaptive changes
- not too explicit
i find it shocking that bikke's "shinkuu yuusetsu" is not talked about more. it's essentially a sentinel/guideverse story that predates the more mainstream trope by almost ten years, and asks a lot of interesting questions about the nature of intimacy and partnership
"what is suzuki tsuta up to i wonder?" and it's nonstop type moon collabs LMAO you know what, i love that for her. get that bag, queen.
reread "kuma to interi" last night and i hate to say it but they really don't make them like this anymore
also rereading that second chapter (orso e intellettuale) makes me feel like, "ah, this is yakkuk's family tree" even though i have no reason to believe that's true. it's just that their writing/pacing feel like kindred spirits.
