Kore Wa Kitto Yume No Naka No Kiss
Me in ch 1 page 31: Go ahead and cut his dick! Damn, he was heavily abused and raped by his own lover - yes, rape also exists between lovers. What really hit me was his line "I didn't know sex could feel this good." It was extremely heartbreaking to see him feel so bad about himself that he genuinely believed that he didn't deserve anything except an abusive relationship. On the other hand, it's heartwarming to see him finally standing up for himself and getting better. I also loooooove manager-san. Mother feels, ate (older sister) feels. It was so cute to see her cry when she was worried about the MC - partially because the accident was her fault, but more of because she loved him (not in a romantic way ofc). Ahhhhhh, I love her so much T_T If I had any problem with this manga, it's that their first time (mc and the good seme, not the ex) was done because the MC was heartbroken. It feels like a rebound relationship ngl. All's well that ends well though :))

The only thing I like about this manga is that the seme didn't rape the uke when given the chance to, and instead he wanted to build up trust between himself and the uke. The manga had great ideas - the beast painting which represents the seme; how the seme was a painter before but quit. And some cliche ideas - uke liked seme's painting; there was a random insert famous person who likes the seme's works. But what made it bad was the pacing, execution and script. Looking forward to the author growing though, they've got potential.
Yes Its Me
Ch 1: MC knows his guy friend likes him and dislikes it... because he's in denial that he likes the guy back and feels he's not worthy of the guy's love. 6/10 Ch 2: a story about a rumor of a girl running away from home whoring herself out. ML wants to find and "rescue" the girl and live a happily ever after with her. He just likes the idea of being a "hero" and "the hero gets the girl". MC hates the girl because the ML likes her. A story on how self-absorbed these 2 idiots are that they don't even consider the feelings of others. 5/10 Ch 3-4, 8: title story. A narcissist's childhood bff steals the number one spot in his heart. Cute and fluffy. 8/10 Ch 5: Orchestramates falling in love with each other despite one of them being married already. Just fine, it's unique because the characters are oldies. 5/10 Ch 6: True love comes with hate and loving the person over all the things you hate about the person. 8/10 Ch 7: Gender should just go away. 9/10 Average: 6.8/10 (rounded to 4 stars)
Datte, Oishii No Ga Warui.
Ch 1: A regular rendezvous in the smoking area. Don't ruin your lungs trying to start a love life, please. Ch 2: A man hasn't had dreams for quite some time. One day, he wakes up with a stranger above his head? Cool concept. Ngl, I want more to know more XD Ch 3: A shoemaker and his apprentice. Honestly more of a comedy than shouai Ch 4: "I want to paint that colour". An artist "bullies" his coworker to observe his blushing skin and be able to paint it. But whatever he does, he can't recreate the colour? Ahhh, I want more of this story (≧▽≦) Ch 5: His officemate is too messy! Now he gotta clean up the desk again! But wait, why is he the one cleaning up? And why is his officemate so messy when he wasn't like this before? So cute
