Manga: Oresama no Toriko

Oresama no Toriko also known as, "Toriko of Mine", where "Toriko" here can also mean "Slave" is one of my favorite comedy yaoi mangas. Created by Amagi Ren, the story revolves around two working adults who just moved in to their love nest. The story tackles about the basics of "living in together" and what does it take to be a "couple." It may have simple story plot but the sweetness of these two is the "thing" that made it likable, that is, if you're into corny stuff, which I am. *fufufufu*


Toriko Ubukata (Uke)
Toriko kun is from a poor family. His mother, father, and sister have been divorced and re-married more than once. During high school he met Shijima kun and hated him for being an achiever without doing much. During graduation, he declined Shijima kun's uniform button and told him that he hates him for being not hardworking. That's when Shijima kun fled to the mountains and learned the art of pottery. That also resulted to Shijima kun's insecurity so Toriko kun feels guilty about it. He loves Shijima kun so much that he would do anything for them to be together - forever.

Shijima Rui (Seme)

He is the 1st son of  the President of Shijima Corporation but became a potter. He's naturally intelligent and a schoolmate of Toriko kun during high school. He became a potter because he wants to show  Toriko kun that he is a hardworking person, thus giving up his position to be the next head of Shijima Corporation to his younger brother, Jyun. He has this attitude of not telling Toriko kun beforehand what's he planning to do and they would end up fighting. He's got his funny - sweet moments and I think that's what I like about this manga. ^^~
