Monokuro Limit
Originally 4 stars until ch 5 happened :/ I wish their reunion was left off a bit open-ended? or at least an extra chapter??? It's like they found their lover's twin after their lover died... then went straight to bed with the twin, fully knowing that they're not their lover, but just a look-alike.

WOAH. I thought it'd be the cliche painful drama. But then it time-skipped to their university life where they meet again and finally get together. Also...PUT IT IN
Backstage Lovers
Pacing is weird. Backstory of uke isn't fully fleshed out, with his sensei pedo-raping him as a replacement for his father... and that's it, no closure about the sensei's crap nor his father's absence. Seme's backstory is okay-ish. Side character is really just a side character, almost noone important, 10/10 really just a bartender side character lmao. Though I'm happy with the ending of them moving past their insecurities
Will a Guy Who Likes Cats Fall in Love with a Guy with Cat Eyes?
Ch 1-3: title story. Cute but a bit cringe because of the unnecessary drama Ch 4: A dj notices that the sound director has been staring at him during work, gets horny. Ch 5: About a bassist and the promoter of the fave band of the sound director in ch 4. This was cute (≧▽≦)

I find it cute and amazing how 2 of these author's stories got connected through this manga. First story was fine. It's super short (ch 1-2), so it went too fast too furious. The MC's trauma just disappeared ~with the power of love~... which I didn't even feel. Ch 3-4 are extras from Ijiwaru Shinai de. I'm happily surprised that they can be a standalone story. I'm saying this because I genuinely don't remember anything about that manga (though I got the vibe that I read ch3 before (it's ch 5.5 in the original)). Still... Same comment. Too short to get into it. Also, since it's an extra/sequel, we don't really get any seme x seme drama since they already have their roles assigned from the original. The third story, a one-shot unlike the other two-chapter stories, is ironically the one that has the best pacing (except for the sudden bj lol, it just had to had smut so it's there for that reason).
