Number Call
ugh im sad bc this is the last unread series of nagisa furuya i had left :,). this one was alright. i think it mightve been her first series. i liked it enough but i guess its just a lil bit forgettable? overall a good read tho!
Kimi wa Natsu no Naka
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.
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
The Two Lions
sob. SO GOOD. i love these kind of stories so much. i actually completely forgot that this is the same mangaka as kimi wa natsu (the one w the film enthusiasts) but i was comparing how similar the vibes were the entire time. now it makes sense. i love this overall vibe so much. its an innnocent, sweet love that leaves me yearning to see some affection. ugh so good. junpei is so SWEET, i love tops like this. also he kinda motivated me to be more socially confident. and bro leo is so damn pretty. i totally thought he was gonna be the one to fall in love first but i guess it makes sense that he isnt as open to emotions due to his upbringing and experience. im glad hes openminded even if im pretty sure hes not actually romantically interested in junpei loool :,). super cute 9/10
