One Room Angel
ah this was kinda sad. i liked it though. it kinda managed to capture the despair of life and how truly constricting everything this. people are so narrowminded and selfish towards others. im honestly surprised i havent come across people like that myself. but im only just entering the adult world now so im sure i will at some point. ive been blessed to be surrounded by kind or at least good at heart people til now. my worldview based on my experiences should be rainbows and sparkles but i know better bc of all the media ive consumed displaying how most of the world is the exact opposite. i dont deserve consolance as much as the good people who have been exposed to these parts of society but i wish i had my own angel. im so lonely lol. anyways, this was a good one. it was dark and depressing but the moments between them were really funny and mostly lighthearted. my heart sank when i realized the angel disappeared but im really glad they were finally able to meet once again in heaven. i wouldnt even classify this as shounen ai tbh its more like a friendship that transcends age. 8/10
Three Days of Happiness
ahhhh so much pain. so so so so so good. just, such a great concept and and even better execution. its tragic and supposedly ends with death but such a beautiful and sweet story. this is the first time ive thought to myself that a story was gentle. everything is just so melancholy from the beginning but it makes you feel so elated at the small happiness they find within each other and life. they grew to love each other so much its so sad but so damn sweet. ughhhhhh this is so fucking good. 1000/10. just a great read. fuck. i love every aspect i literally flew thru this. from the photographs of the vending machines and the thought process behind those seemingly meaningless pictures to the importance of making art and pursuing passions for yourself rather than others, i love every line in this manga. theyre such kind and generous people, even though their lives are "worth" 30 yen, theyd willingly give every last yen to each other. god it hurts. such a fucking good story. im so glad i read it.
Smells Like Green Spirit
damnnnnn. that was really really good. bittersweet ending too. i feel so bad about kirino, he was so sweet and the way his mom reacted to him was awful and i hate that he had to go thru that. he wasnt even able to live a life of his own but instead one for his mom. ugh. he deserves better. you can appreciate your parents without giving up your happiness for them. if they cant accept you despite of that then they dont deserve your devotion. someone who isnt okay with you living true to yourself doesnt deserve a place in your life. he made the ultimate sacrifice and i understand why but i wish he hadnt. on the other hand, mishima and yumeno are really sweet together and im happy they ended up together. the whole yumeno being sus portion kinda had me hating him but its definitely kinda realistic of a guy realizing just exactly what it means to be gay for the first time. yeah, and he came thru when it mattered the most so i support them. theyre a very pretty pair. mishimas mom is the best and so damn cool. that fuckin teacher is so gross and his backstory only makes him seem more disgusting tbh. pedophiles should fuckin die no exceptions. i hope the corpse they found on that mountain or whatever was him. this was great tho really 10/10
Obey Me
LMAO i flew thru this shit bc i didnt wanna spend anymore time than necessary to read it. ive been so curious abt the seme character for a while now so i put myself thru reading it. as expected from the ratings, it really wasnt good but whatever. i didnt really care about any of them so i wasnt emotionally invested at all. the ending makes no sense tho, like the man is on trial and jinyoo has a bunch of ppl who are probably going to look for him? itll be no question what happened if they disappear together? anyways - 6/10
Winter Woods
damn im really glad i kept reading this one! it was really cute. i almost dropped within the first like 20 chapters but i decided to stick w it bc of the good ratings and im honestly really happy i did. the story is so endearing and i loved both the couples so much. at first i didnt really like any of the characters and even winter seemed a little bit off to me but i grew so fond of all of them over time. not so much roy tho tbh i know the most "tugs heartstrings" moment of the story was w him losing his memories and stuff but honestly i just found him annoying and untrustworthy the entire story. what he did was so selfish and even in his most human moments he put his own feelings above winter's. hes not THAT bad tho. i loved adora from the beginning and i thought she deserved so much better tbh but i love her personality and she made zoe into a somewhat likable asshole instead of just an asshole. zoe is so mf fine tho i died everytime he would show up. their scenes and the general pacing of their relationship was lovely too. like watching zoe realize his genuine feelings for her and her unwavering faith in his love for her was great. it makes me a bit sad knowing that he'll eventually have to watch her grow old and die tho. i wonder what he'll do after that. especially since winter is human too now so he won't be there either. jane was kinda meh to me at first and i think my turning point for her was when she started to fall for winter but i gotta say watching her beat the shit out sarah was fucking great. really solidified my feelings for her LOL. shes so badass. OK SO winter. hes literally baby. i love him sm. hes so innocent and kind. tbh idk if its just childlike behaviour but he kinda struck me as someone on the autism spectrum? which only made him more endearing but yeah. brought some well needed humour and innocence to the plot. he didnt deserve the things that happened to him. i attribute most of my weird feelings abt the characters and plot to the odd artstyle, since it was definitely a bit creepy in the beginning. idk if maybe i just got used to it or it really did get 10x better but i really like it now. it totally suits the vibes of the story. i cant say everything in the plot made sense tbh but like i just love the characters sm that ill look past it 9/10
Criminal Interview
oof. this was an interesting one. slightly predictable but still pretty good. i feel really bad for kister tho, he didnt deserve all of that. i like the ambiguous ending but i wish there was a stronger relationship or romance between him and jonathon. i also dont really get what the deal w robert was. he seemed so sketchy and the whole thing w his dad didnt really get resolved either. oh well, 7.5/10
