Kotarou n Aoi start off as sex friends but when Kotarou starts developing feelings for Aoi, Aoi freaks out and cuts it off. Aoi discovers his feelings for Kotarou and how they’re different from all the other sex friends he’s had. Anyhow, you can guess how this ends. Predictable but sweet. Art is really pretty. I think Kotarou fell for Aoi a bit too quickly for my taste. So quickly that it’s unrealistic. I don’t know, I don’t think I’d fall in love with Aoi THAT quickly if i was in Kotarou’s shoes, whether he was my first-time or not. But in the end, they’re a cute pair and really wholesome. Quick & easy read for when you’re craving a little bit of fluff. Overall, 7/10

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

Basically Hayato is faced with a similar situation as one he had in the past. He’s determined not to fuck it up this time though. Basically Souma falls in love first and then Hayato realizes that him keeping the situation from Souma is messed up so he tells him that he’s basically just trying to make amends for his past shortcomings . After that things r tense but worry not, they end up together in the end. Hayato realizes he’s in love w Souma in the period of tension between the two and is constantly trying to gain back Souma’s love. Idk why i didn’t like this that much. Maybe it wasn’t sweet enough for my liking or the fact that Once-Straight Hayato falls in love w Souma. Very weird imo. Idk, this wasn’t really for me. Wouldn’t call it an easy read because it does make u kinda think about it. It’s not really fluffy or dark and i’d really hope the mangaka chose one kind of vibe to stick with for the manga. It wasn’t bad, don’t get me wrong, but i didn’t enjoy it very much. I think Souma’s “i don’t need friends” personality at the beginning is kind of forced and like a facade almost. My mans warmed up to Hayato’s presence too quickly and seemingly without much issue or second guessing. Overall, 3.8/10

Bessho and Glasses Guy (dk his name) fall in love and that’s about it. They’re such a cute couple and it’s almost like you can feel their almost unbearable love for eachother through the screen while reading. Being smacked with this immense fluff and sweetness, my heart can’t take it much longer. It’s really cute and makes your heart tingle in absolute joy at how adorable these two are. Super easy read. I liked the side characters as well. In terms of enjoyment, 9/10. I think it would be nice if it showed them moving in together or a little flash into the future. I want to know where these little babes r. They’re just so lovable. Overall, 7.8/10
