i loved it !!!! so sweet and i absolutely love this trope ahhhh it reminds me of kimi ni todoke but gender swapped and its so lovely. its been a while since ive read anything purely fluffy and i enjoyed it so much. i feel like i learn about what kind of person i want to be in a relationship everytime and what my expectations are too hehe. the art was so pretty and the characters are so adorable (as expected) i would die for hanazono-san hes the sweetest. really appreciated the length too, i love longer mangas a lot and it was nice to see their relationship flourish and watch them become more comfortable together. overall loved it - 8/10
I Like You
LOOOOL. ah. this was an interesting read. it was good tho! i really liked jesse and andy, they were super cute but like literally why did the second couple get more focus than them. ngl it was weird like ... a police officer w a minor? smth aint adding up here. the whole getting together the moment chase stopped being a minor was fucking hilarious but i mean ig as long as it isnt against the law?? idk its still weird hes over twice his age and his friends dad. damn chase rly said i only go for dilfs. chase was also so damn annoying like mans was in every damn scene w the main couple bruh i cant even rmbr the last time w just them two. speaking of, loved seeing andy go from being terrifed and having pure hatred/fear of jesse to being absolutely obsessed and in love w him. cuteeee. the problems between jesse and his dad also hit hard. joel was a shitty dad but i cant blame him. not only was the responsibility of raising a child thrown on him in his youth, but his child also villainized him growing up though he was trying his best. not to say its ever the kids fault tho, as it all wouldve gone better if joel handled it right from the start. but yeah i feel bad for both of them. well, at least the comedy was good. 7/10
Hate Mate
i wanna congratulate this series for being the first to get me to spend solid money on it. i dropped 7 bucks, and i mightve only spent it on like 3 chapters but its still a feat. now, if it was worth it is another matter. i liked this but i cant say that i enjoyed all of it. i actually found it a 10/10 until like maybe around the 30th chapter? the way hyunwoo and subin's relationship wrapped up and subin's committment issues to his actual relationship is what threw me off. first of all, i understand that the appeal of this story is the realism. from the conversations between friends to the thoughts of someone who suffered an unrequited love, its all very real. i completely relate to the lingering feeling that you feel for someone who meant so much to you, to the point that maybe for a second you consider dropping your healthy relationship for a chance at one w them even if you know itll end badly. i get it, but that doesnt make it a satisfying read. its realistic but i dont really read these stories bc i want to read abt someone who makes the same stupid decisions as me. jun is honestly probably too good for subin and if i was him i wouldnt want to stay w someone i constantly have to feel insecure and paranoid abt. i cant say that any of this is subin's fault either tho. its not his fault that he fell in love w a piece of shit who in turn made him act like a piece of shit to someone who just deserves better. still, my heart soared whenever subin prioritized jun over hyunwoo, even if to the end, he still wavered. ig thats the realistic part of it tho. i dont hate hyunwoo at all and i dont necessarily think hes at fault for everything either. subin forced his feelings onto hyunwoo and made him feel uncomfortable multiple times but hyunwoo was also really inconsiderate abt his feelings and deliberately tried to stomp all over them. he also hid the fact that they sorta slept together and played w his feelings when subin finally began to move on. tbh everyone in this story is an asshole except for jun and dongun. and yeona's ex, hes not that bad either. yeona's a bitch but shes so fucking cool and i aspire to live like her. she was ALWAYS spitting cold hard facts, regardless of who to, and the only person i always agreed w was her. i really really enjoyed the pace and story for the first half but it started to get kinda annoying to me. first of all, how can the fucking official translations be so shit. half of it didnt make fucking sense or seemed so off from the korean translation and didnt flow well. that alone annoyed me so much fucking much. subin and jun's relationship goes from like 0 to a 100 and then back to 0 in like 10 chapters. the flow of the story is so off sometimes, like some scenes were so out of place bc of the sequence and sometimes we'd sit and watch a convo between a main character and a random fucking person for like a quarter of a chapter. for no reason, like they wouldnt even be talking abt anything important. i think im only going off bc i actually spent money on this but i didnt like the ending either. im glad it was a happy one and i think every character ended up in the place that i hoped they would but the uncertainty in their relationship is so tangible that it bugs me. i cant really give this any higher than a 7.5. i feel really strongly abt this series but again, i cant say i feel good after reading it. it was still relatively worth it tho. the art is great and the characters are really fun. tbh the first 30 chapters were probably some of my fave that ive ever read. idk this was a perplexing read. i normally LOVE this trope too, and i love even more when the one in an unrequited love ends up in another relationship and the one who puts them thru suffering is the only one suffering in the end. so like, this is obvi my cup of tea but it just leaves me feeling bittersweet ig. i cant say i want to read more either, bc the more i read the more unsatisfied i feel LOL.

Watashi ga Motete Dousunda
hehe finally read this one after it being in my list for so long. the anime was SO GOOD! its definitely bc im an avid bl reader that i liked it so much tho, like if i had watched this a year ago i wouldnt have understood anything LOOL. but yes, so good! reverse harems are the best, and especially when all of them are so likable. i LIVE for the main couple so much. its kinda rare that the fl ends up w the sweetest character sadly, usually preferring the tsundere type that doesnt deserve love (can u tell im still traumatized from ao haru ride ily kou soz) but nope she chose the best boy! the story was super hilarious and i really loved it. tbh kae got on my damn nerves towards the end tho. she was really selfish w her interests and it was so fucking annoying to see her treat mutsumi badly. then again she kinda paid for it but i dont know if that was enough. im glad she figured shit out but that part made my blood boil tbh. bro nanaxshino extra is a blessing. i didnt even ship them until the end but i am Craving more content on them now, please i pray that the mangaka chooses to make a full length side story on them. anyways - super good! 9/10
Pheromone Shower - Omegaverse Short Stories
so the first one rubbed me the wrong way and i didnt really enjoy it at all tbh. the art style was BEAUTIFUL tho so were the guys but the story was ass oops. super noncon and the seme was a creepy asshole? anYWAYS the second story was so good!! i love both of them and its SOOO funny i burst into laughter like 5 times and the little gags in every panel are so jokes. they also kinda look like iwaoi which is really interesting bc that makes oikawa the top LOL
