ALisAnimeLover's manga / #Heartwarming(10)

I'd rate this a 5/5 if not for the sudden "you know I'm a virgin" confession. Hahahaha. Although that was his way of saying he liked Tani. Above all, though, what caught my eye is the relation between the story and the movie featured in it. The movie implied that the girl will die, but it turns out otherwise. The manga kinda did that as some sort of subtle parallelism. Whether intentional or not, it's beautiful. Also, gotta love the mature sense of Tani. Would totally want to see more of the couple and how they grow as humans (lol, yeah, my wording is weird). How they'll begin to accept their past, especially Towada, and how the people around them will change, ifever, as well.

The first story is a heartwarming story about 2 sex friends turning into lovers. Simple, but sweet. The second story is about childhood friends turning into lovers. The start was a bit bland, and as addressed by the story, the uke's response felt empty - after all, his response was simply brought about him not wanting to part, not necessarily because he likes the seme the same way. What I liked about this story is when the seme harassed the uke while he's asleep (kiss + light touch), and how he stopped in the middle and felt guilty about it until the big revelation that the uke was actually awake (+ the uke's revenge by kissing him while he's passed out drunk). Another likeable thing about this is how the uke actually felt scared when the seme kissed him while he's supposedly asleep - would my friend/bf actually stoop that low? Nice realistic touch. The third story is the weakest story in the anthology tbh. Whilst not bad, it's just... meh. The uke just fell in love with the seme's hands (lmao fetish), but I never actually felt how or why, just smashed onto your face. Likewise with the seme. You just know they like each other because they're in a bl. I'd actually appreciate the story even if they just stayed as friends.

OMG. His wife is dead (not yet revealed but yeah) and it was the wife who wanted the cat. Omg. What happened. Fluffy but sad? Omg? Idk where I left off, but most of my bms with this were in 2017/early 2018... totally willing to reread tho ^_^

curr at ch 16.7 maganda nung una, mej lang ung sunod... mej mabilis kasi? Ala-dgm, pangit lng ung execution. Bitin pa -w- walang ibang nakaalam na sila maliban sa kanila at dun sa isa pang bakla :P Rather interested how things will turn out once people knows. hindi pala bitin, ongoing lang XD Update (from ch 12-16.7) It improved sana ol. Super chill ng mom ni terashima, from his gay issues to moving out and all, "do what you want, pero bumalik ka pa minsan-minsan" kinda stuff cool mom. Also, I'm so happy for the bro and his gf they finally got married

Warm. Too warm. My heart has melted. Ah~ messy ung start tho. Why lie? Why does he not want to get close to the guy? On the other hand, cute mother and son relationship "sorry to make you feel like a replacement" Tbh the 5 stars is for the 2nd story (wiii, I love the parents' relationship as well as the MC's relationship with them). The main/first story is ehh, okay. It became better in the extra and last ch, but the beginning was really eh

fluff fluff extra is smut cherry on top but i think it's better w/o it. i still like it tho. now i'm off to listen to the drama cd, hehehe

10/10. Straightforward mc, open-minded seme, cute kid, lovable side chara (best man, duuuude, I love how he's part of the fam even though he's a legendary 3rd wheel 4evs; love how his love for mc is wholesome af). Oh, and I looove how the uke is not jealous of the late ex-wife so wholesome. Lol, their convo on the scenario if the wife is still alive sounds like they'll be a poly relationship hehehe. Or maybe not, it's just an "if" after all (on a side note, I read this about 2-3 years ago and I still remember the story by only reading the last chapter (which is an extra!))

Lol, for once, I love the MC's (Santa's) ex. He really just wants to be friends with Rintarou so he keeps bothering him
