Hanazono No Kioku
This wasn't half bad, until Chris's secret was revealed and it all became sickly sweet and unrealistic - what a shame! There's one line in this that I love, though: 'I am your trigger. The bullet is within you. I will release you from him.' (ch.3, p7) - In fact, I like that whole scene a lot.
Kokoro Logic
The premise was original, but it somehow ended up falling flat. Too sweet for me, and what kind of an ending was that?! Everything was still unresolved, and it felt as though the story just didn't go anywhere. Imho, the story should either have been continued, or it should have ended when Youhei comes back out again to defend his uke from senpai, (because that was a real bit of character development, and was quite significant).
Ten Count
This is one of my absolute fave yaoi manga! Kurose is a near perfect fictional embodiment of my rl ideal type of partner - a caring yet sadistic Dom - yum! And he looks hot too ofc! The story is beautifully written and drawn, and contains plenty of Hot h scenes. The characters are likeable and intriguing, and I love that they're both able to heal each other through their love. The story is actually of some personal significance to me, though I won't go into detail here. So many reasons to like this... When I finished reading it, I almost cried.
Gekkouzaka no Hanayashiki
I'll have to be in the right mood to read this one. It has a depressed and suicidal mc, who is in self destruct mode, and deliberately does everything to push away the one who loves him, (and who he loves). They have a happy end, though, so it might give me hope that even Z can find (and keep!) true love. It seems to be quite well written, so it could be good, plus there's apparently also smut in there, (because one of the mc's methods to hurt himself and others, is promiscuity, just like Z), which might help to relieve the sadness for and annoyance with the mc.
