The Keystone Romantic Combination
Overall, it was decent. Their relationship was so cute and sweet, and I'm a sucker for hate to love relationships. I did start to get a little bored about 3/4 of my way into the story, but it was still pretty good.
Labradorescence
No angst or drama in this one! Shunji and Mutsumi's relationship was so realistic and natural! The story was slow paced, but it was more akin to that of a lazy, winding and satisfying river as opposed to a frustrating romance with long suppressed feelings. This story just feels so warm and gentle!
He, Him & Us
Damn, I'm disappointed. This actually had so much more potential. To start, the plot conveniences really took away from the story and prevented proper communication between Minyul and Jungsoo. The whole part where he got amnesia was especially frustrating, as he just conveniently seemed to forget everything about Minyul. Moreover, I don't understand why such a huge section of the story was dedicated to the Pyramid Scheme. What was the purpose of that? I guess it kind of showed that Hyun would be there for him ultimately? It's not that I think Jungsoo ended up with the wrong person-- Hyun was definitely the right person for him, and their relationship is a much healthier one. However, in terms of his relationship with Minyul, it was just too inconclusive. Their relationship was tied up too neatly in the plot, while also being left with way too many unresolved issues. There weren't enough conversations, and Jungsoo and Minyul never truly had a conclusive conversation about all the issues in their relationship. I also don't understand the whole problem with Minyul initially liking him because he resembled his previous partners, as ultimately his feelings in the end were real, and Jungsoo liked Minyul because he was attractive as well. None of Minyul's problems were resolved-- he never changed, and was left alone once again. It was just unsatisfying. The story was frustrating as a whole.
Doukyuusei (NAKAMURA Asumiko)
Very sweet, slow-burn, and classic. Their love is so pure and beautiful! Such a cute and well-written story with minimal drama.
Dream Away
3.5/5. This was really sweet! I love the art too. Super fluffy and cute. Although, I wasn't super invested in the second couple, and it did get slightly boring in the second half.
Hidamari no Orange
Super cute, fluffy, and pure! The story was well written and delivered despite being 6 short chapters. Great storytelling and very heartwarming!
