Mizutama Honey Boy

Complete | Ike Junko | 2014 released

i'm experiencing that really bittersweet feeling after taking a long time to finsih something you loved a lot and being both sad its over but also happy that you got to read all of it and see the happy ending that came out for all the precious characters :,) im so senti this was so fucking good. easily one of my absolute favs. i loved this from the first second and i wasnt really able to put it down for the past two days. such a perfect comfort read. its stuff like this that im so addicted to, like nothing helps me escape reality and feel light and fluffy quite like this. from the beginning, i LOVE the concept so much. a "girly" ml who embraces femininity and is never forced to act masculine or change his behaviour or interests just to appeal to the fl. and sengoku is literally the sweetest most considerate fl ive ever read. not once does she ever tell fuji that he should be more manly or that its weird that he speaks like that or he likes to cross dress. no, rather, she tries to accomodate to his hobbies by dressing like his prince and carrying him around and making sweets for him. like ???? fucking healthiest relationship ever. period. fuji is so so so precious and i really would die for him hes the lovliest and im so glad everyone in his life is so supportive bc i was really on edge that he would get bullied or smth and ik i couldnt have handled it. it took a really long time for them to get together and for sengoku to like first of realize her feelings and second, confess. quite literally only the last like 10 chapters were of them actually as a couple. it got a bit slow in the middle sometimes but looking back, it was always so fun and lighthearted slice of life vibes. i enjoyed it so much and i actually totally want to reread this someday. i loved how many unique characters there were and the fact we got to see their futures fleshed out too. i also laughed so hard so many times throughout this it was actually peak comedy i loved it so dearly. ok im practically gushing so thats enough 10/10

ahhhh i love this sm!! the raws are on https://comic.pixiv.net/works/2839 ! i love it so much i hope the rest gets translated soon ahhhhh. their dynamic is so fucking funny ive laughed outloud so many times reading this. i hope a rival appears for the uke since the man rly needs a push to acknowledge his feelings yanno. the random homoerotic scenes between tashiro and his rival have me shook everytime like ... is there smth going on there?? but yeah its great 10/10

i loved it!! i was a bit wary starting this bc i had heard that it was toxic, but personally this kind of story perfectly fit my interests. we had the PERFECT amount of jealousy and angst, props to the fact that there was never a second male interest and jiwon and dg consistently stayed interested in only e/o. the angsty section of the plot was so well done and i was so so proud of dg for standing his ground. i also came to love jiwon even though i honestly disliked him for like most of the first half. dg also gave me SEVERE anxiety bc that mf is just too damn bold and it had me slapping my forehead like every 10 mins. i ADORE the fluff it was so much fun and so cute to see them being all domestic in the side story. the other couple was also cute but the smut kinda wasnt my type. speaking of, perhaps too much smut in the story overall but its okay bc all the scenes of dg being a cutie makes up for it. anyways 10/10 i loved it and im sad its over

Complete | KURAHASHI Tomo | 2017 released

AHHHHHH!! i love them so much im gonna combust. i didnt think there would be a prequel after the other one, but this was so so wonderful i wanna go reread it rn so i can experience it differently now! ugh theyre both so adorable and i LOVE high school/uni love stories so much. i have nothing bad to say, altogether 10/10 :))) also i love this dynamic sm - the soft and expressive top that wants nothing more than to hold their bottom close to them for life, and the somewhat aloof and bad at talking abt his feelings bottom that is just as in love but awkward about it even tho their top always knows what theyre thinking anyways SOB

the CUTEST story ive read so far!!!! i love their family so much it pains me!!! the side couple is also very cute. the translations fell off sorta with volume 4 and 5 but it was still very cute. the first 3 volumes had me cooing every 5 secs and i feel like i genuinely learned something abt the type of relationship and family i want to lead in the future. hirosan and masaki are the best parents ever and i would mf DIE for bb hikaru and hina and the other cutiepie. ik its not over yet but i hope it doesnt anytime soon bc i love it so much. def a reread for when i want fluffy family cuteness. its only my second omegaverse story but i love the ones w kids sm. 9/10

Kimi wa Natsu no Naka

Complete | Nagisa Furuya | 2000 released

ahhhhhhhhh. this was so so SO refreshing. i genuinely felt like it summer here in february while reading this. i loved it more than i can write in words. god, it was so well written. im gonna speak on behalf of both this story, the doujinshin and the sequel here. such a wonderful read. probably the most healthy relationships ive ever read. even when i thought there might be a misunderstanding (bc there usually always is) there wasnt! even the so-called rivals were super sweet and well-meaning! there wasnt a single obstacle between them and thats how it should always be. it was just pure, healthy, wonderful fluff. they are so atune with each other and do anything to make the other one happy, even if its just by being completely honest with themselves. it makes me hope that i can find someone to feel this way with. i had butterflies so many times reading this. tbh i wanted some smut so bad by the end of this but i still love the affection between the two. it slightly makes me sad that watoru never really says 'i love you' straight up, but its true that he proves his feelings through his actions time and time again. i cannot wait to reread this one. i wished it would never end while reading too. 10/10.

Restart wa Onaka wo Sukasete

Complete | Cocomi | 2019 released

i LOVED this. i loved the second part more than the first bc of the perfect way they overcame their hurdles together. i was filled w some anxiety for the first few chapters bc i was sure that a huge fight would break out and theyd have issues, but it was literally just them trying to tell e/o how much they truly liked one another and if thats not the cutest thing i dont know what is. i really enjoyed mitsuomi's character development thruout and it was precious to see him come to the realization that labels arent needed for love. i was hoping we would get to see them adopt a bb, which i think they def will, since yamato is adopted too. speaking of, thats actually smth ive never seen in bl yet, but really wanna bc like? ofc a gay couple would adopt after settling down? anyways i liked this way more than i was expecting. i really like this relationship dynamic too; exuberant but somewhat dense seme that is loved by everyone and the misunderstood but equally kind uke that falls in love first with the seme's positivity. ugh good shit, good shit. 9/10

Gunjou no Subete

Complete | FURUYA Nagisa | 2000 released

i LOVED this one. nagisa furuya strikes again bro. i think this might be my second fave of hers after the film enthusiasts one! i really wish there was more bc i ADORE the the characters and their dynamic. the seme in this is one of my absolute fave types. its like hes desperately in love but he respects his partner so much and wants the best for him so he'll never put his own feelings first by confessing and making them uncomfortable. hes calm and cool-headed and this is exactly what allows the uke to realize his own feelings. ugh theyre both so into each other i love it sm. she should really write more of this. no surprise kisses or unwanted advancements, just super pure and consented. the uke is the one who kisses the seme first too!!! sob so good. fav fucking trope. 9/10

Complete | Janome | 2019 released

SO GOOD. ugh idk if it just hit different bc its been a few days since ive read any BL but like WOW so fucking good. the ART IS IMMACULATE. LITERALLY SO BEAUTIFUL. and i always prefer stories where the uke makes the first move or falls in love first. but to have it be so mutual and fluffy was so nice and heartwarming. ugh couldnt have asked for a better story to recharge myself with. also i loved the film club aspects of this too. its making me kinda wanna join film club at uni or be apart of some production. it seems like so much fun even if youre only part of the production on a small scale. ahhhh so inspirational. i wish there was one at my high school i totally wouldve joined. it distracts me from the actual film essay i need to be writing rn lol. maybe i should take advantage of the course and try to learn as much as i can. i mean its a little late rn to be a diligent student but ill definitely learn something as long as i try rn right? hm. okay. i want to be part of a club and community like that. maybe learning all this will motivate me to seek that out? or attract it? if nothing else, itll give me the knowledge to enjoy films in the future on a deeper level. just remember how interesting film studies really are. i analyze movies and shows for fun so why not do it here and get marks for it. yeah. lets go. i got this!
