i started it bc it was short but now that its over i wish there was more (╥﹏╥) i need a face reveal for the guy he was so hot bye
Kawaii Hito (saitou Ken)
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
Lip Smoke
i loved this LOOOL. i went in being like ew wtf the age gap is gross but LIKE. IF I WAS SETSUNA I WOULDVE DONE THE SAME THING. she is so bold i dont think im that brave to take a shower and come out in a towel but like if my man looked like seta maybe i fucking WOULD risk everything. god damn. hes so hot. and like? respectful? i got weird vibes from him in the beginning, but hes such a gentleman ugh who wouldnt fall in love with that. ugh i want to date an older man now. thank god im past legal age and can do whatever tf i want legally. ugh. anyways this was pretty good even tho im sad it ended so soon! i wish we couldve gotten more them as a sorta couple? maybe even in the future when she turns 20. i really like how much of an emphasis they put on setsuna initiating things herself and seta really trying to restrain himself, but like idk man its japan you never know w them but yeah its good to see that they RECOGNIZE how illegal and taboo it is but like ig love is love yknow
Sora To Hara
ayyy hara-sen finally got himself a boo. even if its mad illegal LOOOL. at least he waited until he graduated jdlfks but what is that, more than a 20 yr old age gap? yikes. i kinda hated hara-sen in doukyuusei but hes actually pretty endearing. hes been hurt everytime he pursued love in the past, tho lowkey its his fault for going after ppl he knew were either taken or in complicated situations. but he looked past the one person actually pursuing him. overall, pretty good. the second couple rly added some spice to it. it was kinda painful to see actually. after reading more abt them its nice to see them in a normal relationship but damn theyve been thru so much. overall poor harasen lol. tbh even their relationship kinda dwindles out after the timeskip in the next story tho. poor guy sldkfjs. also, they both def have top vibes.
Hoshi Dake Ga Shitteru
really good but ended too soon. i liked it more than i thought i would heading into it. i just like straight men realize they're bi and panic LOL. also, i will always love a good desperate and jealous uke. 9/10
Umibe no Etranger
this was cute! the movie was BEAUTIFUL and super aesthetic i loved that part of it but the plot was a little hard to follow ig? it was just kinda rushed but tbh the manga is like that too, even tho they did change some things in the movie. i think the manga does a better job of establishing the tone between their relationship somehow. they took some scenes from the sequel and put them in the movie and some are really cute and add a lot like mio's childhood memories w his mom, but some are kinda unnecessary. i kinda wish i had read this before watching so i could enjoy the visuals better. either ways, the plot is sweet. didnt meet my unreasonably high expectations but its not bad by any means. definitely thought shun would top tho that was wildly surprising. their age gap is so really surprising given how young they both look lol. theres also like a really peculiar feeling that this manga manages to capture that i think is really nice and warm. kinda like the feeling of getting together with family and friends on summer nights. theres more instances in the sequel but i really like it. as for the sequel itself, the timeskip was really interesting. fumis a lil asshole LOL but i was too at 13 jsdkfjs. there were no real conflicts which is always lovely, bc i fucking adore slice of life. overall i think i enjoyed the sequel more than the first part, maybe just bc its longer idk. oH the whole moving into shuns family home was really really sweet. that was another thing that made me feel warm, just getting accepted into someones family like that is so cute. watching mio and shun's relationship become more domestic and comfortable was also sweet. i really wanna see what the sequel would look like animated bc it would def be so lively. i think i just like the ~vibes~, the ambiance of this manga more than anything else. the first part gets like 7/10 and the sequel 8/10.
Koi wo Suru Tsumori wa Nakatta
this one was really really really good. i finally got my simping uke fix ughhh yes. and jfc hte characters are soooo hot. uke lowkey looks like my ex and seme looks like bokuto. theyre so beautiful pls i literally just read this bc of how attractive the uke is. but theyre both so in love and tho the seme was kinda toxic at first, it was nice to see him desperate and jealous LMAO. the art style is super pretty too. i just found out this is by the same mangaka as golden sparkle so honestly im not surprised at how good it is. probably gonna binge the rest of their works soon.
