I remember reading them (and what they look like) but since their titles were in romaji, I can't recall their titles at all lmao

First one focuses on a black-haired adolescent boy coming to terms with his gayness (the manga isn't classified shonen-ai/yaoi). He's terrified with how his peeers (in extension, society as a whole) would react if they find out. It starts with a scene where his friends read his internet history on his cellphone and find he was searching for gay porn, but mc makes an excuse. MC becomes anxious and meets this woman (wearing a hakama) constantly climbing up a tower and then jumping off for some reason (symbolism??). He then meets these people (who are doing constructions) renting out a house from the woman, including a lesbian couple. One of the lesbian wants to get married but the other is too scared but ends up wanting to be married too. I think the cover art is blue. Sorry that is all I can remember.

Second one focuses on a young girl in pre-feudal japan (basically tribal). She's a tomboy whose father is a good blacksmith - iron swords stronger than any of the other swords made in japan. He makes exactly nine. The village chief schemes to use these swords to conquer the other villages and the girl + the people from the other villages try to stop him. She is also mysteriously blessed by the mountain (rumoured to be the corpse of orochi) which causes windstorms in her favour. In the end it is revealed that she is

the daughter of a snake woman .

Anyway thank you for your time and patience!!
