I Became the Hero's Mom
ayo this was actually a very very good read so far and i cant wait for updates. im reading on sawateam so the translation is great and the story is building up to be really interesting. i usually kinda skim over the fantasy world elements in isekai reads but its fascinating in this one. i read this theory that "deborah" is actually the body of aisha necromanced by the high apostle in the novel since hes a dark element user making abel's fl actually aisha's body WHICH IS SO WEIRD OMG. but so interesting. anyways abel is adorable and i cried really hard for him in the first couple chapters bc of the child abuse. hes so wonderful and i love that hes actually given enough screen time. not so much in the most recent chapters but hes definitely a main character. the romance is also really funny lmaooo its pretty slow burn and i dont think aisha has actual romantic feelings for hades just quite yet but i love their dyanamic rn theyre v chaotic. the moments between all three of them are my absolute fav tho. so sweet and warm. anyways, im sure this has got a lot of chapters left so i cant wait!
Sunshine Lovesick
man i felt like shit and this was the perfect fluffy read to take my mind off shit. i loved it sm. theyre both so pretty and i loooove the hiphop aesthetic of it all. im so glad they didnt pull a plot twist and make taiyo the top or smth it wouldve made me so sad. also idk what differentiates this manga but the intimate scenes were like really really hot? like oof. anyways 9/10
Toshishita Yankee wo Oseru Ken
cuuuuuuuteeeee! i love yankees w hearts of gold :,) one of my fav tropes 8/10
Puchitto Hajiketa
cuuuuute. the seme is so fuckin whipped. this was really sweet and funny too looool i was laughing and squealing the whole time tbh. tho im a fucking idiot and somehow started in the middle of the fuckin story. but it was still really good. 9/10
The Story Between a Dumb Prefect and a High School Girl with an Inappropriate Skirt Length
this is mad cute. i love their dynamic tho honestly i wish more of the plot was actually focused on the main couple. still, it does manage to capture the essence of high school in a really cute way. tougo is so sweet i feel like ive met quite a few guys like him before tho idk if i ever considered any of them date-worthy LOL. the student council prez is way too hot to go after the vice prez he really is an actual gorilla. also bucchis the hottest character i want him to fall for akina ldkjfsd 9/10
Bokura no Shokutaku
sigh. this was such a breath of fresh air. i feel so light and happy after this. i love mangas based around fluffy family dynamics and cute kid antics and this was just entirely that. i read the official translations on manga4life but next time i wanna read it on here to see how it differs. i loved it so much though. 11/10
Tonari no Metaller-san
AHHHHH. THIS IS NOW ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVS. WOWOWOW SO MUCH TO SAY. first of all! the way that this story managed to capture the essence of winter and the holiday season is INCREDIBLE like from the very first chapter i started feeling a bit chilly myself since theyre always in coats or fluffy clothes and eating warm food to heat themselves up. even their jobs are so festive! being a patisserie during the christmas season or making holiday crafts with kids at preschool on winter afternoons :,) sigh it reminds me of my childhood. even bundling up and going to concerts or markets to get in the festive mood. sIGHHH I MISS CHRISTMAS TIME SO MUCH. i really felt like i was in winter rn even tho its september and the weather is still in the 90s here. i NEED to reread this once the winter comes bc it think itll really get me in the mood for the holidays. i loved their relationship so much, so wholesome. technically they did do it but imma consider it shounen ai bc it was such a wholesome scene. honestly even eithout it i wouldve been perfectly happy. the uke is SO SO PRETTY i saved like 10 panels of his face bc he gives me gender envy wow i was rly going thru it. anyways i ADORED this OH ALSO ITS SO FUNNY AND LIGHTHEARTED I LAUGHED SO HARD SO MANY TIMES 12/10
Sesame Salt and Pudding
SIGH THIS WAS SO SWEET. its been in my trl for literally forever and i couldnt do it bc ossan is literally one of the hottest men ive ever seen and i was jelly that he 1) didnt exist and 2) wasnt mine, but i DID IT AND I HAVE NO REGRETS HES JUST AS HOT AND COOLER THAN I EXPECTED. anyways i really want a dilf of my own. actually what would be ideal is just hot single older man w/ no divorced ex or kids. just putting that out into the universe :) anyways their relationship was super healthy bc of how well they understood e/o emotionally which you wouldn’t expect w such a huge age gap. sigh i haven’t felt so lonely in a while everything i read today made me feel desperate for a relationship :,) anyways 10/10 def one of my favs forever
Yumi's Cells
i've read this on webtoon for the past couple years but i want to leave a review so i'm gonna do it here. this webtoon is most likely my favourite slice of life story ive ever read. i can say for sure that it has changed my perception on love and life in it's own way. i am so thankful to have struck gold with yumi's cells and i basically grew up alongside yumi, from grade 11 to second year uni :,) so i will forever hold it dear to my heart. i can't wait to reread in a few years!
