10 Things I Want to Do Before I Turn 40

I’ve read quite a bit of BL, and this one quickly became one of my favorites. The slow-burn romance is genuinely perfect—every scene adds to the tension and makes the build-up feel earned. I also really appreciated how accurately the seme/uke dynamic is portrayed. While it is quite spicy, it’s not rushed—it still feels purposeful. The author does an excellent job representing the characters’ age differences in a way that feels respectful and believable. The hesitation both of them face, shaped by their circumstances, felt incredibly real—like the emotions were grounded. Overall, this manga left me wanting more, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who loves thoughtful, realistic, yet still fantastical, and emotionally driven BL.

The MC has been single for a while, meaning he has spent the last three birthdays on his own. He’s an introvert who doesn’t have any friends except for his plushies.(this guy‘s condo is somewhere I want to stay. You’ll see what I mean if you get this book..) So the MC makes a list of the things he wants to accomplish in three months before he turns 40. I love this list. And then he meets Keishi sp? Who is confident, younger, and the way he gets involved in the list, made me scream with hilarity. I am probably going to read this again anytime I need a sexy comfort read. I’m so glad I started reading BL. I thought I hated romance before I discovered this genre.

Bottom is a older character and that's what I liked so went a ahead and checked it out. Would recommend.

One of the most wholesome MLM romance novels that I have read in a long time. I loved having a main character that was closer to my age☺️ I am so excited that there is going to be a part 2 coming out next September; a mote of joy to look forward to.

Was a cute story, nice art. Happy I got it.

Super cute and steamy!

This was really a surprising a good story. The relationship between a young man and older man was done beautifully. I love Suzume character because he has a young heart. Keishi maybe younger but he has an old soul. Suzume has doubts about Keishi, but I love how they come together at the end. It’s hard to put one heart out there and wonder if it is worth fighting for it. This book does have graphic details ( definitely adult 18++). I like the storyline. I thinks his guys would not care about his sexuality as long as he is happy.

First off, I'll just stress that a sequel needs to be made. I need to know how their relationship grows. Tõjõ Suzume makes a list (a simple list)of 10 things to do before his 40th birthday and one of which is to find a Lover this is where Tanaka Keishi comes into plan stating he would be his lover. Keishi helps him with his list and the relationship blossom from there. I love the fact that Suzume is older and still searching for things in his life and Keishi is younger and wants to help him anyway he can. I truly enjoyed this book.

Love a good age gap romance with none of the toxicity. Just pure hearted fluff about an older man finding some love and joy in his life. Have completely fallen in love with the authors work.

Very enjoyable story that is serious, yet sweet. Enough to make you think, and enough to make you go 'awww'. Perfect BL, 10/10.

I absolutely loved everything about this manga! The artwork is beautiful, the story is sweet and engaging, and I really love the overall feel of the book. Even the paper quality and size make it such a pleasure to read and hold. It’s one of those manga that just feels really enjoyable from beginning to end. I’m so glad I picked it up, and I can’t wait to start Part 2!

Sent item exactly as described. Would do business with again.

Delivered on-time and very well-packaged, completely undamaged. I love this manga, its a very sweet and funny tale of a man finding love in an unexpected place right as his midlife crisis looms. I particularly enjoy that the elder of the two is unashamedly into really cute things, he loves collecting cute little plushies and keychains, while still being overall a pretty uneffeminate man. It IS an 18+ manga, so prospective buyers should be aware of that.
