soultwins's manga / #Unrequited Love(34)

Hana wo Tadoreba Kimi no Yubisaki

Complete | NIKAWA Yuki | 2016 released

ahhhh this was just bittersweet. again, not in a bad way, it's more of the 'aw, this is such a painfully beautiful love' kind of feeling, yk? but yeah, i don't wanna spoil much but the plot was actually really good. this type of trope can really be both heart-wrenching and heartwarming at the same time so i kind of expected this to go through the same route... it's such a sweet story and i'm so glad they found each other after everything :'( it has all the fluff and emotion with beautiful art and suspense. you definitely won't regret it :') kind of wish there was more tho TT but nonetheless, it was a good read! <3

ah, i really enjoyed this one. childhood friends with unrequited love is quite a common trope per se but in this, the author took a realistic approach in delving onto this story. i really liked how the confession scene was and how the response wasn't abrupt but instead, they really think it through and not just dive into a relationship hastily. it was quite bittersweet but i still really liked it! really sweet love <3 i just wish we could've seen more from them in the future, yk? haha >< indeed, "it's natural to laugh. to change. to maintain. to forget. to remember. just like that." :') reread: 220414 :) 230623 !

Complete | KON Shota | 2000 released

AHHHHHHH I LOVEEEEE THIS!!!! this was so so soooo good i swear it's just so nice and fluffy, like everything you want in a story are all in here T____T oto definitely is one of the best written MLs i've ever read. he's just so understanding, and you can really see how much he likes sora, he's always there for him, and he never gave up. i also enjoyed seeing the conversation between sora and his father, it was just refreshing to see those things included in a bl, yk? lastly, ryu! i wish there was more of him like he's such a nice best friend and it would be nice to know more about him as well... overall, this was just so well written! the plot is nice, the pacing is just right, and the relationship, whether it's platonic or romantic, were all really good! ALSO, i just love how oto keeps confessing and telling sora "i like you" like literally anytime and anywhere haha >< i just really enjoyed reading it bc i love me some healthy couples ! LASTLY THE TIMESKIP???? oh my god i was SHOCKED! it's also quite nice to see a two people growing, both as individuals and as a couple, literally right in front of your eyes !! haha but yeah, this made me SO KILIG, i really adore them so much. this was just so sweet, heartwarming, and wholesome! <3 reread: 230105

Naked Sword and the Tree Peony of Black

Complete | Yukue moegi | 2019 released

so so so in love with this! i just love their dynamics and the chemistry between them is just undeniable! it’s also childhood friends to lovers with a little bit of angst ++ a lot of mutual pining ! i also love the art style like they’re so beautiful???? their relationship is so intimate and i’m so glad it went like how i wanted it to be :') it’s also nice to see them both having reassurance with their relationship and with each other which is so so important. you can really see how they value one another so much in their own ways... and i definitely wouldn’t mind another volume of this <3 re-read: 230706, i still stand by what i said above ^ this is still so good and the feels really never go away i love them sm

Everyday is a Good Day

Complete | nishi noeko | 2019 released

ahhh this was really such a nice read. it was very wholesome and heartwarming. it was also touching to see all of them grow in their own ways. toki learned how to finally grieve and move on, and finally accept how things are now without being guilty and sad for what happened. toki’s parents for also accepting appi’s parents’s death and also being patient with appi. chihiro for learning that he isn’t alone and there are still those people who actually love him after his grandmother’s death, as well as him continuously loving toki for five years, i think that’s just very sweet :(.. and lastly, appi... for being so strong and patient despite only being a kid. i can’t imagine how he felt once he understood what happened :( but it was such a beautiful moment when we saw him also grow mainly through the help of toki, and also chihiro... it was also nice to see toki and chihiro’s relationship grow and develop. but all in all, i really just enjoyed the relationship between everyone as a family. it was very very heartwarming and this is definitely worth the read. :)

S to N

Ongoing | Nagisa Furuya | 2000 released

why is it already the end, i still wanted more??!!!!!!!!!! anw, this was really good. despite how persistent kazushi is, it’s not to the extent of it being obsessive and weird. he’s still considerate of yuta’s time and especially, feelings which i really liked. i just wish there was an epilogue :<

Sensei no Sensei

Complete | Noji (ll) | 2019 released

ahhh i so love this <3 definitely one of the best portrayals of omegaverse i’ve ever read in years! it's nice to see them address that every gender encounter problems and that roles can also be universal. it’s not your typical “oh i’m an alpha so i have to be strong, superior, and cunning” and “oh i’m an omega so i have to be soft, vulnerable, and weak” like that. and even how the beta can still feel insecurities with their sub-gender so it was just really nice reading this. this is literally like a breath of fresh air and i seriously adore this mangaka now! this was so healthy and consensual and just overall— so wholesome, heartwarming, and lovely! <3
