Shijuuhatte Anthology - Hihou-kan
BL Motel
Currently at ch 12. I'm rather curious why people assume Byul is the seme when he kept on daydreaming that he got done by Boss. //update: I see. YES. END VICTIM BLAMING BOSS. I LOVE YOU.
Natsumichi Drive
The first story is soooo fluffy~ It's a student x teacher relationship, though it doesn't feel like that because the teacher was a tutor before that (also, no context on age beforehand). I want more of the extra story about the nail artists though T^T and idk, it's kinda sad that he gave up being a beautician to become a manicurist just cuz he had a love at first sight moment. Although it wasn't expounded on anyway. So maybe he doesn't really care XD
Kazoku Ni Narouyo
Finally, tapos na~~ I just love how the author called the family dysfunctional, not because they're gay parents, but rather because one's a kinda yankee, and the other's airheaded, haha.
Noru ka Soru ka
The manga didn't show how they turned out to be lovers after 20 years of friendship, and it sure would be interesting to see that. Still, nice read. I love how the non-glasses guy's parents just accepted their relationship. But what I like more is that they didn't really accept them simply because they're open-minded, but rather they know that their son and his bf probably thought long before outing and because they're already adults capable of making their own decisions. I'm rather curious how the other party's parents will react and how they'll overcome it. Hmmm :)
The Best Smell
I love how Kanggo is so straightforward. His logic makes sense though, why lie when you can just tell the truth? And I loooove how Kamin grew some guts and friends over the course of the story. The best thing in this manga is definitely the character development because it really took its time. Next best thing would be its realism. Kamin's mom and grandma stayed shitty as they are. Best example of forgive but not forget; they cleared the bad tension between themselves but it doesn't mean that they're in a good relationship nor will they try to build one.
They are a Couple
currently at ch 128 Originally only 3 stars, but earned the extra star for acknowledging the existence of pansexuals~ I LOVE YOU XANDER. Still, I find Xander's arc to be incomplete and rushed. He just let that psycho do what he wants. Sure, they talked... but it's not enough to say that "I fell in love with you even before because blah blah". Like heck, THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT THE SHIT HE'S DONE. FUCK. HE TRIED TO SELL YOU. Even for a joke, that's bad. wtf.
Chou to Hana no Kankeisei
I like the first story the best ️ He's not an S, but still tries his best to make his partner happy. That said, it's a good thing his partner is only a mild M, so they kinda fit. The second story was meh. The third story is a bit... idk, badly paced? Things just get smacked in your face like "this guy is the owner of this place you didn't even notice was a bar or something". Still, it was cute seeing the seme be so nice without knowing the uke's trauma. And how the seme didn't pity him at all afterwards. OwO there's a second volume? Or is this an extra?
Doutei Nana-kun Foreign Love
This was a nice read despite all its cliche-ness. I want to see more of their future relationship though =u=
