badx's manga / #Romance(87)

| 4.5 STARS | aaaaaa so this was so good fr and the art was sooooo good and hot too but loteraly it has so many pet peeves of mine :sob: like the misunderstanding of their feelings literally lasted until like the last chapter (╯︵╰,) the story was rly good though fr like the incubus thing was rlly well done imo and their personalities were pretty epic but I wish the chief would act more on his desires because he's supposed to be rlly sadistic and stuff in his head but he only showed it like once so UPDATE omg the second story between the incubus and yusa is so much better I'm actually gonna cry their relationship and dynamic has a lot of my preferences AND theres angst that hurts so good (but is also the reason why I'm taking away .5 stars) like chapter 15 left me so broken I need to see an update or I'll sue

| 3 STARS | oh my godnes what is wrong with me I actually just finished this whole thing in one night reading for like 7 hours nonstop anyway do I regret it yeah a little bit it's literally exam week but what can ya do eahhh unfortunately the translations are quite terrible and the pacing of the story is really weird it does that thing 19 days does where it randomly timeskips temporarily and makes it really confusing speaking of timeskips even the main timeline had like long asf timeskips like years which is a peeve of mine overall kind of nostalgic but it triggers me sometimes like I keep getting this undertone of all the relationships having unhealthy traits and the pillow talk is especially bad as well as how often the story deviates from the main couple tian yi and tian cai like I don't care about the stupid incubus and class presidents story at all stop forcing it down my gullet

3.5 STARS So like this was in my tabs for over a year and i finally read it gotdam anyway its the spinoff of the other series "secret XXX" which i read a long time ago so i didnt remember the other characters but it was fine story was overall good even though minato (uke) was sometimes annoying and shizuma (seme) was really nice tbh and the art was good edit : i appreciate this more now so im giving it 3.5 and minato isnt even annoying just insecure and he reminds me of chuuya a little bit

| 4 STARS | really good, way better than the first series im ngl i really wanna see what happens with the seme's life in the clinic and how the director will affect the story because they really left us on a cliffhanger :sob: and a comment said volume 3 and 4 are already out in jp but the official trans is only coming out in 2024 ;-( next volume will probably be the one where they finally move in together so excited for that too <3 anyway since im finally done with this i can go reread mookhyang :-)

| 5 STARS | read all of this so far (season 2 finale) within a week I think and it's defo real good and has a great plot and fantastic characters, I especially like the uke mc quite a lot bc of his past and demeanor so he's super cool and epic seme is also pretty cool u got that classic ceo rich guy but also is tryna get his family inheritance and owns a production studio (which relates to the whole actor job main plot point which I think is pretty good) so yaur the only thing is that it's SUPER slow so like they only actually got to 3rd base at the season 2 finale edit : insanely epic

| 5 STARS | omg so like wth i thought taeju would not be able to get a redemption arc at allll but for some reason he lowkey kinda chill now tbh anyway i literally want euiyoung and euiyun to be together again so bad :sob: his other dad is a scumbag alr idc if "hes more stable" like stfu also eiuyun fr gotta go to the hospital to find out if hes pregant or something so yeah this story makes me so sad sometimes and tytuhtriyuriytriytriyturyt edit : wanted to update my review while i add this to epic yaoi honestly im satisfied with the ending and hopefully next year theres supposed to be side stories so yippeee i love low tide in twilight

| 3.5 STARS | I can't really remember what this was about or how good it really was but is has the mermussy and I do remember it being wholesome I think but I wish that the sushi restaurant owner was the uke instead

cute one shot about a girl who casually turns into a mermaid and a boy who likes her

| 3 STARS | dont really remember much about this at all but i havent made a review yet sooo Mashiro Yukihime , an introvert ended up sitting behind the popular hot guy,Rihito Ojiya after their sitting arrangement changed ..Rihito is kind with princely demeanor & tends to help others . When Mashiro tells Rihito he suffers from insomnia, Rihito offers to help tuck him in bed at the nurse's office & soon reveals his inner feelings ...Rihito has feelings for Mashiro & wants to do "this" & "that" with him but trying to control himself in order to progress things smoothly ..

| 2.5 STARS | bruh why was this in a list of best yaois like hello even the translators had a note at the end about how the characters had basically no development and how michiru (uke) stayed dumb the entire series ರ⁠╭⁠╮⁠ರ the only big upside is how pretty the art is other than that the story hella mid
