tsukineko's manga / #childhood friends(233)

This was pretty sweet (apart from the rape), and the h scenes were pretty hot. Also, there were loads of cute cats and dogs. Edit: Strange... why does it say ongoing? Putting it in now reading and I'll check later until which chapter I had already read. 3.5 stars?

This kind of plot has been done so many times before, but here it's well executed, and has nice little touches that make it stand out from the others. That onsen scene, for instance, was pretty hot! Also, I really like the way the whole issue of sexuality was dealt with - it was actually quite realistic on that front. The tension and heartache that come from swallowing one's feelings were palpable, and some of the dialogue felt way too real, (if I had €1 for every time I've said 'don't worry, you're not my type'...). I wouldn't go so far as to say that it was deep, but it does have a certain touch of realism that other romcoms don't tend to have. It also had all the usual ingredients of a good romcom: it was sweet, funny and sexy, as well as being well drawn.
