lemontwist01's manga / #Yaoi(4)

Oh how I love Beriko sensei's work. Their art is so gorgeous I can't get over it. This particular collection of one shots has such a great balance between sweet and spicy in its romances, it's just... on point. • 1st chapter: Brothel owner x money lender. (★★★★★) This first story could've definitely been longer. I love its characters and a longer, slow burning romance would be so satisfying. Either way, this is very, very good. • 2nd chapter: Young master x his tutor. (★★★☆☆) Eehh... I wasn't very comfortable with this story, not precisely because of the age difference, but considering the older guy was the young master's tutor, they must have know one another for a good while, which is kind of icky and didn't let me get really into it. But, eh, what the hell, it was cutesy, I give you that. • 3rd chapter: The story of an author and the guy who brings him food... or something. (★★★★☆) I didn't really get the setting for this, but... it was cute. I liked it. • 4th chapter: Author x his flatmate/househusband. (★★★★☆) Very nice, nothing much to say about it. I liked the conflict "neko-chan" has about his appearence and age and it was all nicely tied up. • 5th chapter: Artist x his art dealer. (★★★★☆) I thought this one was the weakest of the bunch, but I really can't say why. Their dilemma just seems kinda confusing to me? Idk, I just couldn't care much about them. But the ex-prostitute assistant is by far the best character, so this story gets an extra star.

This could've longer, but it's so soft and lovely that I'm glad it didn't got bogged down by drama. My heart is all warm now. ️
