If you want a cute, wholesome BL manga in which the main couple are both adults, you've come to the right place.

Restart wa Tadaima no Ato de tells the story of Mitsuomi, a 25 years old guy who, after being fired from his job in Tokyo, comes back to his hometown in the countryside where he meets Yamato (also 25 years old), the adopted son of the elderly neighbor. The manga focuses on the relationship between Mitsuomi and Yamato and how their feelings for each other slowly transform from friendship into romance, while having plenty of character development for both of them. Mitsuomi struggles with ... finding his path in life, while Yamato has deep-rooted issues about being abandoned as a child and then adopted as a teenager. Both the characters and the way they navigated their feelings are pretty relatable, and the story is sweet and touching without getting angsty. It's also 100% sfw, so it's a good manga when you feel like reading some sweet BL but are not in the mood for smut.

The art is aesthetically pleasing, very soft but expressive enough, and perfectly matches the tone of the story.

Overall, a good one volume BL manga that I definitely recommend for those who want a sweet, uncomplicated but relatable love story with adult characters.

This was my first BL ever and I'm really glad I read it, because it's very good.

The story focuses on two male adults who know each other and start to develop their relationship in a very wholesome way. The manga doesn't center itself in sexist stereotypes to build the characters and their relationship, and that's refreshing.

The art is fairly good, pleasing to look at and with some very good panels that keep your eyes on them for a long time.

The two main characters are well-built for such a short series and complement each other perfectly, the other characters are more plain though.

All in all, if ... you are looking for a light, wholesome reading about two young adults falling in love, this is definitely your manga.

If you're looking for a feel-good short gay story, this is a great pick!

As somoene who has read a somewhat impressive amount of BL manga, I would like to express my enjoyment at this simple, yet tasteful portrayal of same-sex adult couples. As the story progresses, we get to see how their friendship morphs into something more- love. Short and Straightfoward, this work will defently apease to thoses who dislike slowburns. Generally, this manga avoids using the tropes that can be commonly found in such media. Such a masterful mix between wholesome BL fluff and good character developement is a breath of ... fresh air. The two main character, Mitsuomi and Yamato, deal with very real issues. It's cutesy art style compliments the slice-of-life aspect of this story.

Great art paired with the author's understanding of the human psyche make this a good read!
