Happy Birthday
This is more of a story of friendship than of romance. I feel like I'm committing a sin by not liking a manga by ymz
Voice of Love
I actually like how they deleted the video. Because: 1) If they did post the video after the jerk "apologized", the jerk would most likely just retaliate after he gets out of jail (or whatever punishment he'll receive) 2) If they don't, the jerk will still most likely bother them and try to force them to delete the video Whatever they do with the video, the jerk won't stop being a jerk. And for all it's worth, the jerk might even find a way to reveal that the video is staged and it will hurt Jisoo. With what the MC did (deleting the video and declaring to the jerk to stop being stupid), he prevented his friends from stooping as low as the jerk, and hit the jerk where it hurts - his pride - without violence or any low attacks.
Kozure Omega to Boukun Yakuza
CW: dubcon in ch 1 (ig it's common in omegaverse) The children's names are Riku and Sora ;;; my Kingdom Hearts fangirl self is screaming What's up with me and stories with shitty ex? Lol, I think for the past 3 days I've been reading mangas with shitty ex without purposely looking for such mangas If murder wasn't illegal, I'd probably have killed the ex right then and there First volume is meh. Second volume is cute. I'm glad I kept on reading.
Seiheki Strike

Renchin!
*spoiler-ish* I LOVE HOW THERE WAS NO CONTROVERSY WHEN WAKI CONFESSED ON LIVE TV. HUHUHU Edit: okay, I finally read vol 2 and apparently even though the confession got good feedback, they still denied the confession (ie Waki is not gay, Waki is single). Eh, classic tv politics ig. Now I feel bad for feeling happy about it The mom still irks me. At some point, she shows qualities of a good and funny mom (like being overly nosy why Waki has a big specially-made lunch box and offering to eat dinner every now and then), but she's still overall a bad mom. If she ever shows up more in the story, I hope she gets more character development. And yeah, kinda weird that Waki and the mom were being shipped together because there's at least about 18 years age gap (actually maybe at least 9 if she's really young when she conceived Waki /j. She's probably at least 18 at the time since the flashbacks showed her to be a grownup and the story implied that she just chose her career over her child, nothing about regrets of conception because she's too young). Though tbh, from what I've seen irl, it's possible to have TV pairings with that kind of age gap (or even a bigger one), but it's not that famous. It only exists when the story (tv show, movie or whatever) calls for it. So it kinda feels like ukie being Waki's mom and co-host at the same time was just done so both plots of ~dating controversy~ and ~Waki backstory development~ can be squeezed into the same volume.

What's the ex smoking? Duuuude, he's annoying as hell. Thanks to him for being a perfect plot device though, too perfect that the story wouldn't be the same without him and I ain't complaining about it. Doesn't stop me from wanting to throw him into the ocean though
Hito Wa Sore O Koi To Yobu
I looooove how strong the MC is, both physically and mentally. I also love Tominaga's friendship with Aoi. So glad that Aoi gets the highlight in the sequel

I totally didn't expect this kind of progress in the story. AND I LOVE IT. I would love more highlight on Umino and Take though. I hope there's a spin-off or smth
