Aoki has a crush on Hashimoto, the girl in the seat next to him in class. But he despairs when he borrows her eraser and sees she's written the name of another boy—Ida—on it. To make matters more confusing, Ida sees Aoki holding that very eraser and thinks Aoki has a crush on him!

Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shikanai is more quirky funnier than Old Fashioned Cupcake, but both of them has mature/serious them, loving themselves, accepting who you are, discovering happiness even in smallest things in life with your beloved one's help..

It is not a simple thing to like someone, because... many times, we dare not say anything! "If first place is the only way to make you see me, then I will never lose to you before you fall in love with me." Zhou Shu Yi stared at the class report and saw Gao Shi De’s name above him again. He didn’t understand. He had always ranked second ever since Gao Shi De came into his life. For this reason, he was excited to go to college and parted ways. He hoped to never see Gao Shi De again. In college, he joined the swimming club and was revered by everyone. He was happily enjoying college life until Gao Shi De suddenly appeared at the swimming competition during their senior year. This made him wonder why Gao Shi De always followed him wherever he went. But little did he know that Gao Shi De had eyes for him and would never let him go.

Although these shows have different plots, they somehow have a similar "vibe". Both are very wholesome (but be prepared for some angst).

Thery're about people who find love later in life - no silly college romance. Since the characters are mature, their relationships are also more mature. Together they find happines. Besides loving the other person, they learn to love themselves too. Even if these feeling scare them at first.

Also, food and cooking are quite important in both MTYL and OFC!

Looking for mature men in love? The Ossan's Love franchise and Old Fashion Cupcake have you covered! Although Old Fashion Cupcake doesn't share Ossan's same laugh-out-loud comedy and slapstick moments, there is a subtle humor to it.

Both series are office romances based on a Japanese manga and include a main character that focuses on work, hasn't had any love life and doesn't know know that someone from his workplace who is very popular has had a secret crush on him for years.

These are two workplace BLs that feature a romance between the team manager and a younger subordinate. Both of these character-driven dramas focus on a male lead who's become quite depressed with life and has settled for a monotonous routine of work, home, and sleep. That is until the other male lead comes in and re-introduces him to the "colorfulness" of the world.
