katlovesfries's manga / #established relationship(5)

Two people who have been together for ten years struggle to navigate their relationship, and to find the love that once brought them together. It shows the good and the bad about dating, and it is done in such a nice way. They have my heart.

I had heard many thing about this story, but I found my reading experience to be average at most. The main couple was interesting to read about, especially when looking at their development and how they get more and more comfortable around each other. The side pairing had potential, but everything was executed poorly in my opinion.

This is an adorable and non-toxic story. It feels very coming of age and explores many topics that the majority of people may find relatable, such as coming out, chasing your dreams, standing up for yourself and finding your purpose in life, all the while being in a relationship and making that work as well. I could talk about this forever because the story is just that good.

A story about relationships, falling out and then getting back together. I don't understand why people love this so much. One person is self-centered and unable to fully understand his mistakes, while the other does some irredeemable things. I can't see the spark that once brought them together in the first place, and I felt more annoyed than anything as I was reading this. If the story had more build-up prior to the break up to know more about the characters, maybe I would have liked it more.

The MC's boyfriend has a secret: he turns into a monster during Christmas. This is both wholesome and smutty as hell. The plot is not rushed, or leaves any big questions in the end, though it may surprise some people if they go in blind. This is a short story that works.
