riv's manga / #Romance(15)

my least favourite of the author’s works because I didn’t really get attached to the characters. nonetheless, it was sweet and easy to read. Not my favourite though, too cliche ig. Overall 6/10

I really love the art style of this author, it’s like a breath of breath air every page. This is super cute but quite short and ended abruptly. Even the confession scene felt almost rushed and impersonal (flip u chinese censorship.) Besides that, both characters are so cute and lovable. Pretty wholesome in the end. I really love Qi Shi he’s so silly.

I’m not sure why I love this story so much. Realistically, It’d be way better if it was like 20 chapters instead of 5, but I love the dynamic between the characters so much. The quiet intimacy they share, the affection that permeates skin, and still mornings after sex, it’s just so good. This could also be because I see myself in the black-haired person a lot, leaving love unrequited, a silent yearning not expecting anything of it nor trying to influence it. I’m glad it worked out for them, though realistically It doesn't usually end up doing that usually. The pain of a 7yr unrequited love finally came to a meaningful end, and I think there was a beauty in the fact that in the black haired guy’s mind, there was always only just one. 10/10

this art is always insane i love this author.
