Introducing Ichijinsha gateau comics “Koibito Assort”!

The following is quoted from the back cover. This review does touch on the story’s content! If you just want a quick overview!! I’d be happy if you read only the red text and highlighted sections.

Nurtured feelings, all under one roof…―――――

The cheerful, lovey-dovey college couple “Akio + Shota” and the sweetly involved working-adult couple “Minoru + Kazuya” live in the same apartment building.

The four of them, each with their own distinct flavor, interact with one another and discover their own unique forms of love.

This volume includes two gentle stories that will warm your heart, along with three (!!!) ultra-sweet spin-offs of the hugely popular previously released works “Let's Become Happy!”, “Kimi ni Sosogu”, and “A Boy and love”, all newly drawn. Please enjoy these melt-in-your-mouth romances featuring ten characters and five couples in love.
Ichijinsha gateau comics “Koibito Assort”

『“The Couple on the First Floor” (Shota × Akio): an energetic and adorable college couple

This story centers on a lively and adorable couple who have been dating for six months. They try to emulate the more calm and mature couple on the third floor, but end up feeling a quiet ache from realizing how different that dynamic is from their own… so cute!! It’s a story that gently sinks in as they establish their own unique way of being lovers (＾＾). I truly hope these pure-hearted two continue to live happily together… wishing them nothing but good fortune in the days ahead!

“The Couple on the Third Floor” (Kazuya × Minoru): an office-worker senior–junior couple

Unlike the lively couple on the first floor, this is a story about a calm, mature working-adult couple. The two have been dating for three years, with Kazuya as the junior and Minoru as the senior, and their relationship begins with a workplace encounter. Minoru, a gentle, friendly, soft-hearted leader loved by everyone, completely captures Kazuya’s heart—and Kazuya’s devotion as he spends six months earnestly courting him is simply perfect (＾＾). You can slowly savor and immerse yourself in the quiet, intimate world shared only by the two of them, making this a wonderful read when you’re craving a little emotional breathing room… it’s deeply soothing.

“Let's Become Happy!” (Toma Komatsu × Ayumu Nanbara)

This is a story about the same two characters previously introduced on this blog (＾＾). Ayumu is endlessly adorable, which alone is enough to be soothing, but this tale focuses on Komatsu-kun’s inner conflict as he cherishes Ayumu more than anything. He wants to treasure and protect him because he’s so cute, yet he honestly confesses his fear that his own desires might spiral out of control—that scene had my heart racing. Fans of Komatsu-kun will be completely taken down, so please brace yourself for the impact…!!

“Kimi ni Sosogu” (Sho Oshima × Yuichi Ando)

This is another story about a pair previously introduced on this blog (＾＾). The sweetness level is far higher than in the collected volume, so be prepared for an overload of sugar…!! With both of them consumed by work and research and growing out of sync, Ando searches for something he can do and ends up asking Ayumu for help. Oshima continues to express his feelings openly as ever, but Ando’s straightforward sincerity only makes him fall even harder… It’s a story that once again reminds you of the importance of caring for one another…!! Ando’s words sink in deeply and feel truly precious.

“A Boy and Love” (Hayato Tachibana × Meguru Nishizono)

This is a story about the two from “Otoko no Ko to Koi,” a title that has not yet been introduced on this blog (as of April 2024). Nishizono, a novelist, and Tachibana, who works as a host at a snack bar, have been living together for a year. The glimpse into their everyday life—from Christmas through the year-end and New Year’s Eve spent together—was especially wonderful. I was deeply moved by how a character who values words so much can speak so gently and still steal your heart in those quiet moments… truly touching. I’m also planning to introduce the collected volume, so please look forward to that as well!

That wraps up this point-by-point introduction of the works above. If any pairing caught your interest, I really hope you’ll give it a read! Of course, related titles have also been introduced on this blog, so I’d be very happy if you checked those out as well (＾＾).
