(kazuho + aoba )
+ strangers to housemates to lovers! special characteristics come into play here MC have ancestral genetics of a vampire, while ML has the genes of a dog (makes him shape shift). ^^
+ so the premise is that ML passed out in the streets. MC saw him, and was feeling quite lonely, so he took him in. after that, ML discovered that MC didn't like the thought of sucking blood, but he needed it. so, ML decided to volunteer and live with MC since he did say he was feeling lonely~
+ btw MC works at a hotel & ML is like a gym instructor? plus, they have a 9-yr age gap~ anyway, uh... i think they were pretty cute tbh, nothing much happened? everything was lighthearted and sweet i did feel like the pacing was a bit fast? the connection wasn't quite evident...
+ i must say, they look like they're a happy couple and there weren't much conflict too (ʘᴗʘ✿) i wish we got to see more dates from them though i love the uniqueness of their circumstances since it's not a common pairing (vampire x dog) also, the art is adorable i, too, would be tempted to pet & squish ML in his animal form ( ˃ ~ ˂ )
(haruta + kagetora )
+ childhood friends to lovers they're So adorable PLEASE! main conflict was how MC's dick was too big so he didn't want to do it with ML yet until after they were already adults
+ i must admit, ML's lookin' like a freaking child because of his physique but, if we were to ignore that, this story was really really good! tbh, i think the author wanted to show a couple who had contrasting body built. however, i think they exaggerated it a little too much... even ML's dick looks like of a child lowkey
+ other than that complaint, i thoroughly enjoyed this one! they are so in love! i love pathetic tops like MC :')) get a guy who confesses to you every day >< he did that since they were in elementary bro... he's the sweetest he always put ML's needs first.
+ i also love the flashbacks where we got to see how their relationship started ૮(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)ა their love for each other is truly rooted deeply :(( they always think about the other first before themselves
+ their friends were also a fun addition as they were so so supportive, along with MC's family (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎) the art is gorgeous !!! all the characters are very pretty this needs a higher rating frfr!
(jihwan + yoosung )
+ classmates to lowkey enemies to study buddies to boyfies? well, it's a bit unclear they seemed somewhat romantically involved though (๑• . •๑) ?
+ MC's a transfer student who used to be a delinquent. he lost his mom which, i think, made him realize he needed to turn his life around and finish his studies :>
+ ML's an heir to some mafia organization? but, he want None of that! he wants to graduate immediately to leave said family
+ it was a short story so there weren't much content and substance to it... they could've been cuter if there weren't much aversion from MC ML would always just surprise him with these intimate attacks which made him uncomfy...
+ anyway, it would've been nice if we saw further of their future 'cause the ending scene just gave me the impression that MC was "forced" to live with him LMAO
we finally got a glimpse of jealous eunsan :')) pibi-nim is so great with cliffhangers bro it's going to be tough waiting for the next update since it's going to be on a short hiatus.
i'm not sure if it will only be a one chapter hiatus, but pibi-nim said they needed time to rest which is SOOO valid !!! i hope they recuperate well~
anyway, i'm really excited to see how eunsan would address his feelings for ian i'm Loving the progress so far ><
(iliyan + kyle )
+ strangers to flings? to lovers !! MC is a model—laced with trauma and alcoholism. ML, on the other hand, is a hotel manager who focuses on general security throughout all branches. (>ᴗ•) ! the catch is, ML is working for the wife of MC's boss ^^
+ this was definitely a ride... a lot happened there's all sorts of lore and background for the characters! i did not expect that tbh MC has tons of issues—alcoholism, abandonment, anger, and inferiority complex. idek if that's all LMAO but, i promise you, you'd understand the root of all those issues once you get introduced fo his family background and all the shit he went through
+ kyle hackman THE MAN that you are !!!!! he's definitely one of the most good-looking and green flag-ed man out there (≧◡≦)♡ the amount of patience and consideration in his body is something to be envious about~
+ i laughed a lot while reading this because of how ridiculous and quirky all of the characters are they all had their eccentric traits and sass which made the whole thing entertaining there were a parts that were quite frustrating as well, but i'm glad the MCs usually talk it out after a few panels!
+ i was so intrigued by gale and robin's past and relationship. however, i was really disappointed with gale... although i already expected something twisted to happen since we all know his personality, i was still a bit turned off with what he did to robin :/ he's such a jerk bro still, i hope they turn out as a happy couple. i want what's best for robin !!!
+ honorable mention to the queen, helena taylor !!! she was such a badass diva throughout the entire thing ₍ᐢ..ᐢ₎♡ i mean, there were also times were you'd get annoyed by her. but at the end of the day, we can't deny her aura !!! all in all, the art is SPECTACULAR i really am in awe with how pretty all the characters are—even the ones i despise (人 •ᴗ•) i love love love the side stories (ones showing kyle & his family) the MCs are so clingy and In Love! they're always all over each other (i don't blame them) i wish we got to see their wedding though :'))
(cheongrok ⚕ + jaegyu )
+ neighbors to flings to officially lovers !!!! this might be one of the best short stories i've ever read ( ｡◕‿◕｡♡)
+ MC was a child actor who slowly lost his reign when rumors and bullshit were publicized about him. he did re-debut as an actor again. unfortunately so, the backlash never died down ML, on the other hand, is a psychotherapist that happens to be his neighbor! ML acted as if he didn't know MC at first since he didn't know how to respond to the interaction. but the real deal is that ML have always been MC's #1 fan since he was still a child
+ ISTG THEY ARE THE CUTEST COUPLE EVER !!!! i love them so much plsplspls I NEED 50 MORE CHAPTERS
+ dynamic & pairing is unique! as a psych major, i love how we're being seen here they have Great communication ૮(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)ა i love how they swiftly ease each other's worries
+ for its length, it's surprising that we were able to gather that amount of back story for the MCs! it made me understand both of their perspectives even more
+ the art is UNREAL! they're both so beautiful (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎) i love all the relationship between MC's mom & manager too !!! i love how ML still gets shy when MC'd being affectionate with him i love everything about this a must-read !!!! ₍ᐢ⑅•ᴗ•⑅ᐢ₎♡
(jinhyuk + heechan )
+ classmates to (somewhat) friends to flings? to strangers to finally lovers! MC's a studious student who deems himself as a bystander in the events of bullying within the classroom. ML is considered a "perpetrator" in the eyes of everyone else, but a victim in MC's as he's the only one who knows about ML's situation at home :'))
+ this is a reread and omfg i am So sorry for judging this i used to give it a low rating because of the butchered translations after reading it again, i finally got to appreciate its true beauty !!! ( ˶ˊᜊˋ˶)
+ the plot was pretty heartbreaking... the dialogues were very poetic! and the characters all had profound background and struggles of their own (੭ ˊ^ˋ)੭
+ the pacing was just right! the interactions and dynamic between the MCs were very adorable yet melancholic at the same time! lowkey ill-fated, however they still found their way back to each other ᐠ( ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ )ᐟ
+ domestic violence and bullying were one of the big issues tackled here, but idk if it was properly addressed? we never really got the right justice for the victims ☹ yeah, ML's dad died. but what if he didn't? ML would've still been a victim all this time which is so sad to ponder on
+ anyway, i'm so glad that they finally got to express their love and healed one another through it! though it ended on a bittersweet note—with them not being able to get married. i still think that they have a bright future ahead of them ^^ and maybe they got married in the states art is cute too !!
(shu + yukiya )
+ fubus to lovers! 12-yr age gap (lll⚆ᗜ⚆) MC is a salaryman who's picky with who he sleeps with! he likes a partner with no strings attached & no talking while doing it. here comes underaged ML who fits his standard perfectly—minus the minor aspect ( ◔‸◔)
+ i would like to preface by saying that there was NO grooming in this! the MC was not aware that ML was a high school student he thought he was in college because he looked mature! :'))
+ i'm glad that MC went away in order to stop the relationship since he knew better !!!! tbh, the whole conversation with ML was quite goofy to me because he Did not care! he just wanted MC so bad
+ this one's a guilty pleasure for me since i really liked them their dynamic was amusing & they really fit each other honestly, the only conflict here was that ML was a minor (◞‸◟ㆀ) they would've gotten together easily if it weren't for that issue LOL
+ anyway, i wish we could've gotten more crumbs of their relationship after the time skip i really wanted to see more of their domestic side now that they're in a committed relationship (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ the art is soooo pretty! ngl, ML's hair looked quite absurd when styled from the side i liked it more slicked back!
(keita + ryu )
+ classmates to estranged to friends to fubus to lovers! (ᜊ•ᴗ•ᜊ) MC always for straight men because he'd been in love with ML when they kissed back in high school
+ i loveee love rereading this! >< they're so oblivious about each other's feelings—frustrating, yet entertaining at the same time
+ very healthy and domestic babies !!! i love how clingy and excited ML became after they got together :(( i need another volume with just lovey-dovey stuff
+ even though they had a fubu setup, there were no noncon/dubcon involved which was great! (bare minimum, but iykyk)
+ the art is pretty too !! we love a beefy bot ٩(ˊωˋ*)و i also love how nonchalant ML looked or acted at first, but he was actually the one who fell first !!! ( ˃◡˂ )
(ryou + shinji )
+ schoolmates to friends to lovers! MC is an art student who saw a guy (ML) which made him question his sexuality. due to this, he decides to join a gay sex community named polaris, in order to explore.
+ MC is surprised as he sees ML in polaris. ML is actually one of the founders of this group and is a senior I.T. student in the same uni as MC you'd think this would be a one-sided admiration, but there's actually a little twist ^^
+ this was very wholesome all throughout! there wasn't much conflict as it focused on the build up of the MCs relationship with each other (>ᴗ•) !
+ i must admit, it was a bit cringey and cliché since they used so many common tropes however, this is the author's first full-volume manga so i still think they did a good job because both MCs are green flags!
+ the pacing was alright. the side characters are also adorable and very supportive—especially the MCs families the art is also cute !! ngl, MC looks more like a high schooler than a high school student anyway, they turned out to be a very cutesy lovey-dovey couple! good for them ᐠ( ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ )ᐟ
