Cupid is Struck by Lightning 2 by Minta Suzumaru
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Hilarity ensues as Ao ends up looking more than a little friendly with a classmate in his quest to retrieve a charm from Shingo. Meanwhile, rumors are flying around school about Shingo being a cupid for hire, and Shingo himself is reading way too much into things. Add in all of their conflicting schedules between Ao's challenges and Shingo's practices for the school sports day, and it's a small wonder they get so many wires crossed. It seems the boys may unintentionally found another supporter, or at least somewhat grudging acceptance when their relationship is discovered, though most everyone else remains unaware. From the short stories after the main chapter, it would seem to hint the boys stay together through school and even Shingo working, though a good number of the shorts still take place around the time of the main story itself. Confusion and drama aside, these two are oddly adorable with all of their awkwardness when they're on the same page.

Cupid is Struck by Lightning 1

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Shingo thinks he has a gifted silver tongue as he takes on inquiries for his fellow students, mostly to find what their crush may be interested in, to be paid largely in food. The tables are turned when a job to learn about Ao's scar turns into a rather odd friendship and then something more. Shingo is about as awkward as possible in his bumbling attempts to befriend Ao, who, by some miracle, tolerates him. It seems like the story will be ending with Shingo suddenly realizing his own feelings, but we get a series of short stories covering the summer break and the awkward avoidance to even more awkward yet sweet relationship these two start building. While the summer scenes get more than a little steamy, there's just enough sarcasm and humor mixed in with some corny moments that it's still one of the more enjoyable yaoi (BL or boys love) series.
