My Lovely Bunny

Complete | Tojou Sakana, Tojo Sakana | 2000 released

THIS WAS SO FREAKING CUTE OMG WHY NOT ME… Bunny and Sei are Childhood best friends who’ve loved eachother for years. They cannot get enough of eachother and it’s clear how much they adore one another. It was so cute and such a wholesome read. Very simple, you don’t have to think much abt the plot. Would read again. 9/10

The Good Teacher

Complete | Eeej | 2020 released

It’s cute. Not a toxic story, just enough drama to keep it interesting without veering away from the main plot. Black hair guy is so hot, very much my type. Blondie is literally the textbook definition of golden retriever energy. They’re cute together, no complaints there. Ik it’s smut, but i feel like it was too heavy in that area. Ik like 80% of the plot in this manhwa is based on sex classes, but fr, every chapter?? I liked the pacing and how the feeling was mutual from the beginning. It was never “i fell first, he fell first” type stuff, it was always both of them. I think black hair guy is an interesting person w/ an interesting past and i wish they would have made a side story or even an entire separate manhwa about his past. I think his acting career wasn’t talked about much despite it being a big aspect contributing to why he is the way he is. I think it would’ve been nice to see him as a high school/uni student navigating what it’s like to be gay + his experiences with his acting. I don’t know, It was fine, not overtly interesting or amazing, but definitely not bad. On the plus side, the art is gorgeous. Everything and i mean EVERYTHING by this author has gorgeous art. Anyway moral of the story: this artist needs to make a hs angsty drama-packed BL about being bullied or something like that. Idk why, I think she would be amazing at that kind of genre. Anyhow, that concludes my review on this manhwa. 6.5/10

Despite being centred around basically just sex, it was actually a good read . Like i usually only read supernatural plots in this genre because they’re laughably stupid, but this one was surprisingly wholesome. It’s abt a guy who can switch between cat and human and another guy who can switch between jaguar and human to jog your memory if you’re reading this later on. solid 8.6

Here U Are

Complete | DJun | 2000 released

i really fell in love with these characters. i think this was my second or third time rereading and i still giggle at the funny bits. this has literally been the most popular shounen ai manhua since forever and you can see why. Yu Yang is so likeable and Li Huan is so cute you just wanna bully him. The pink hair guy is cute as well. DJun put their entire being into making these characters and this story. I really really love it, it’s saur cute. 10/10, will reread next yr probs.

not that big of a fan tbh. abt this teacher who’s a fanboy and this idol who’s filming a variety show at said teacher’s school. basically, idol flirts w teach because he thinks that his band mate was cheating on his bf w the teacher (they’re actually cousins) and so wants to get back at him ig. they eventually fall in love tho so. wasn’t anything special and i wasn’t a fan of the characters. they seem so one dimensional idk

Literally so so so good. Genuine 10/10. The dynamic between the pairings was really nice. Like why was my heart all fuzzy. They’re all so cute and the characters are so lovable. Genuinely one of the best manhwas out there rn. Even the way it deals w sukyuns feelings/mental dilemmas is so amazing. This needs to have an animation cause I would watch for sure.

Nise x Koi Boyfriend

Complete | YAMAMOTO Ataru | 2000 released

bro the one shot chapters in between the story were so confusing cause like why were they in the middle not the end???? hard to keep up w istg. anyway it wasn’t that good and i think their dynamic is a bit strange. bro likes the cross dressed ver of the guy way too much and separates them as being 2 diff people even though he knows they’re not. frustrating asf.

short and sweet. Pretty cute for the length. I think both characters are very likeable which is a nice plus. overall, 8/10
