Breath
3.5 stars. This wasn't bad at all actually, although I wouldn't call it brilliant either. It was quite well drawn, and the plot retained my interest with a few twists and turns, and wasn't too cliché for the most part. (Well the anemia/low blood sugar thing was extremely cliché, but whatever.) Psycho brother notwithstanding, the characters were pretty realistic, which is probably my favourite aspect of this manga.
Lotus Eater
How a bi guy eventually wins over a gay guy, who had repeatedly spurned his advances, as he thought he would leave him for a woman *eye roll* Why does everyone always think that way? Anyway, let's see how it's done... Btw, this is a spin-off of 'Wonderful Days'.
Boku To
Bwahahahaha! Just that one picture alone is freaking hilarious, and hot too! This should be fun...
17 Seito
I feel the need to read this, to see which side of the comments section I'm in agreement with lol. Apparently, this is quite realistic, (apart from the rape survivor falling in love with their rapist thing). It's apparently different from other manga that use the same trope, though, in that the rapist makes a sincere, thorough and continuous attempt to apologise and redeem himself. And when I say continuous, I mean that he does so for 10 chapters straight, right until the end of the manga. I think that's pretty much unheard of in yaoi, so at the very least that's a plus point (or maybe a star?) from me. Note: From some of their other works, I know that this mangaka can do bittersweet realism well, so I'm hoping that this'll be more of the same...
Nakimushi na Little
Meh. Ok but nothing special. Disappointing because I know that this mangaka can do better. Also, 2 of the stories are barely even bl, and the rest are just shounen ai.
