ALisAnimeLover's manga / #friendSHIP(11)

I'm excited to see miya as a seme, huehue. I love how they're not all gay, and relateable silang lahat. So far 10. Hue, jk 9 out of 10 Probs at ch 23. Probs

Chapter 1 is okay. It's cute, but it doesn't stand out that much. But I like its extra (ch 4). "Doing what we always do" :) So sweet~ Chapter 2 is... okay, it just seems like there's a missing page or something? Or maybe I'm the problem (lol, cuz I'm sick atm). I like chapter 1 better, lol. I like how it ended that they're just friends though. On the other hand, chapter 2's extra (ch 5) was... AAAAHHH so nice. It is indeed the titular chapter :) I LOVE HOW IT ENDED OPENLY LIKE THAT. CUZ BOI, YOU CAN'T FORCE FEELINGS. THEY'RE JUST BLOOMING. And I also love how the confessor is just "I just wanted to tell you, no need to reciprocate" <3 Although again, like chapter 2, the art's messy and it seems like there's a missing page. Chapter 3 is... okay? I have mixed feelings about the start of their relationshp, lol. The seme is too chill about getting raped by the uke .-. Well, all's well that ends well, so it's an A-Okay for me (though it's the very reason I can't give this anthology a 5-star rating, lol). I love the extra (ch 6) for this one as well, merely showing how they're trying to progress from sex friends to lovers. Communication is key! <3

"OMG. Rec ni Jp. So beautiful pero bitin ung 1st and 2nd tbh. 8-10" - some 2017 bm stuff I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS CLIFFHANGER. *cue ugly sobs* I think the 1st story should totally have a sequel. It's not angst or sad or anything. Just melancholic. Open-ended. The 2nd story is angsty and imo, complete. Leave it to the readers as to what happened to the "bully". The bully probably ordered that as a trick order (that he actually means stay with me and let's stop this farce), but the mc didn't get it. F. The 3rd story is cute, although cliche. The 4th story is... a bit messy, but I like the topic. Kinda want to send to Paolo, if only this weren't BL.

humans are trash. that's what.

I get the feeling that this suddenly ended because it was about to cross the BL line??? From ch 17, "If he got himself a girlfriend, I can't spend much time with him anymore"... And that's like every line ever in BL when the MC realizes his feelings for his best friend??? I want more TT (No, not saying the author is homophobic or whatever. Seeing their other works, they're definitely open to bl. This is probably published in a general shoujo manga magazine and not in a bl mag, so it can't contain any bl. So yeah... Sadt. Once again I'm reminded why I hate the manga industry)

I love the metaphor - Itsuki is trapped in a water tank called "obligations and expectations". Then at the end of the manga, he's now determined to become a free fish... Will he actually be free though?

From the comments: "it'd be more tragic if they've known each other for more than just half a day."

Cuuuute. Love the pace. And I love akito/eito-kun. Lol at the inspi. I love the bff too, he's a shipper. Tho i guess for jokes nga gaya ng sinabi niya pero full support pa rin. 8/10 (lol, it's a legit score, not because of the name xD just a wonderful coincidence ahahaha) This is actually good for an author's first work uwu

Hnnnghhh He has really good friends I'm so happy for him
