danini's manga / #unrequited love(324)

oh i was not prepared for feelings/// i thought it was complete, but it's actually 2 volumes and full of angst :'(( w/ eventual happy ending there is a (translated) novel in the meantime update the novel destroyed me. mc deserved better also the manga ends just a bit too early in the story... i would have wanted to see at least a little bit of the happy ending ffs!!

the resolution was really quick, and left certain plot points completely unanswered (what about the brother/crush? why was he crying? etc). i did rather like the extra oneshot with the brother in a coma 'possessing' his younger brother's body at night. i'm always a fan of loved ones coming aroung after not accepting a coming out (or in this case, feeling like they didn't know the person/confused/left out). objectively could have done with some more details and maybe another chapter or two (i would like to see what happens when the brother wakes up!!)

c5// they got together, but shiba wants to put things on hold until he gets into his school of choice

ahh this was really funny and kinda dumb, but also their feelings really came across well and i love that whole sex without feelings (but oh yeah, there are Feelings)

a little cliche / dramatic, but 100% in the classic shoujo kind of way

fun, other than mizuki being a bully (past -- w/ cat loving delinquent) and raping fuji (even if fuji was able to stop it.. still rape!). but its yaoi and ignoring the weird bits is normal. fuji is an emo-looking, mask-wearing student who was nice to mizuki when he found him crying over his love / being hated for bullying. as fuji helps him try to win his love and earn forgiveness, they become closer... ♡ also points for (vaguely) implied pegging lol
