Beachloves's manga / #Slice of life(332)

Chapters 1,2&4.5 are absolute gold. A BDSM story unlike any I have encountered so far and I loved it. The juxtaposition between sexual power and social superiority was interesting. I also loved the dynamic of their relationship. Neither person was a victim, each knew exactly what they wanted and were willing to get themselves dirty to obtain it. A mature story with a fulfilling end. I just went back and read 3&4 the second story is also wonderful, I did not enjoy it quite as much as the first but it was really touching.

Very good story, a true "slice of life" experience. There were only a few sex scenes but I was shocked by how realistic they were. A lot of times in BL sex scenes can be bizarre or exaggerated but this felt very honest and authentic.

WOOOOOW! the title got this one right! There is no other way to describe this story than intense. Every moment of this feels like water on the verge of boiling. Their chemistry is so visceral, I do wish the sex scenes were a bit longer to capitalize on that and grater establish their emotional intimacy. I wish that this was a bit longer, and showed some of the other plot threads being tied up. Like maybe a 5 or 6 chapter epilogue would have been really nice. But this was still a 10/10 for me and is easily in my top 30 of all time!

This one got me. I laughed, I cried, I was moved several times by the tender sentiments and struggles depicted in this story. Finding your own happiness is far more important than trying to be "normal."

Not gonna lie, the MC is so awkward and makes me cringe. BUT! The art is so fucking phenomenal! The author chooses the most unique angles to show from and it gives such an interesting perspective! The sex scenes are impeccable! Remember to read the short sequel " Koiiro Soft Focus"

Not often in BL do you get to enjoy a narrative like this one. The perspectives and personalities of the two characters are so unique. The way that emotions like isolation are shown visually (stars on a winter night scene) is really striking. To be honest the art style is not as refined as some other stories I've read but it is worth it just to enjoy this character study.
