Life Senjou no Bokura
this was so perfect. i fucking SOBBED like a baby reading this. i was in tears the entirety of chapter 3 and 4...my heart was so heavy i could feel my chest growing tight. this was unbearably good. i am so in love and also in so much pain for this story. yuki was the best boy ever and honestly he deserves better than akira but its fine bc that mf realized his mistake. even if yuki did lowkey take him back too easily smh he shouldve made akira SUFFER -__-. anyways i already miss this story even tho it caused me so much suffering i will 100% be reading again, its for sure one of the best things ive read thus far. such a lovely story and i loved seeing them grow old together. i would do ANYTHING to get more of them throughout the years. im thinking of even purchasing this if possible tbh. the symbolism with the white line was so wonderfully childish at first but then became so heartbreaking towards the climax. the last imagery with them disapating in heaven along a line of smoke was so bittersweet. ugh such a beautiful story i loved it to bits. 32982/10
A Thousand Cranes
SOB. SUCH A CUTE STORY. considering one of the mls is a murderer, this was surprisingly sweet and wholesome. craig IS SO PRECIOUS ive been attached to him since like the first chapter bc of how hardworking and lovely he is. hes also like really attractive, even more so than dean. i feel like i still have a few questions - like why was theo presented as a male due to her dads abuse? and why did dean have to be the one that dealt the finishing blow and murder ppl even after having henchmen who can do it for him? but like whateva their romance was so pure. PERFECT amount of smut too? like i was so excited when it was time for the seggs bro and it wasnt overbearing at all! the deeper aspects were really tragic and tugged at the heartstrings, tbh more so craigs situation than deans for me. i really wish this was longer too, it totally couldve been but i loved the lack of misunderstandings and how easily complications were solved. OH ALSO - DEAN IS THE KING OF CONSENT AND RESPECT BRO. LITERALLY he was so so sweet and in love and never forced himself or was aggressive and hurt craig at any point. hes perfect. overall 9/10
Heesu in Class 2
WHAT THE HELLLLL. i want more :,,,,,,) wHY ARE THERE SO MANY THINGS THEY LEFT OPENENDED?? first of all did my boys FUCK bc i really truly want to know. ik there was a heavy makeout sesh in their seoul apartment but like... they were clothed. TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW. ALSO sOB theyre husbands!!! <3 so cute UGH. but also why did heesu have to go to the military at such a crucial time in their relationship damn that must be a nightmare irl. also THE SECOND COUPLE? THAT CLIFFHANGER? RU KIDDING ME. nah but like honestly i think their breakup was inevitable and definitely good for hansoo, as his life literally revolved around his bae and to an unhealthy degree. but like damn i didnt think they would end it /completely/ openended jeez. theyre kind of a toxic couple tho. i dont really like either of them individually or as a pair tbfh. now heesu and seungwon on the other hand, ARE PERFECTION AND THE MOST ADORABLE BBS EVER. i LIVE for them and theyre so blissfully in love its great. storywise - pacing was great. idk why but this one took me a really really long time to read and idk if its bc i just spent a lot of time carefully relishing it or what but ive spent a full day reading this. the relationship between h and s was def slow burn but it was fun to see them pining for e/o and it was really rewarding when they finally confessed and started going out. even their central conflict was a really cute one and harmless. i came into this thinking chanyoung was gonna be like more pivotal than he actually was, especially bc the entire first chapter was literally just abt him, but im glad he kinda faded away at some point. i just realized we didnt even really get a scene w chanyoung even at their graduation, showing how little he really meant to heesu towards the end. seungwon is actually the perfect bf that every person dreams for. hes one of my favourite tops ive ever read in anything so far and i want one of my own. speaking of tops, damn i wish we got some smut. its fine i dont NEED it but ... damn yall gon leave me blue balled like this? anyways i knew this was gonna be good heading into it but i liked it more than i thought i would. 9/10 easily. idk if its a reread but its sweet enough to pick up when ive forgotten the plot maybe.
Karasugaoka Don't be shy!! 2
sob, so cute! this is a comment on both the first one and this sequel. i loved the premise so much, such a cute idea! the first one was better than this one but i mean we finally got a seggs scene so who am i to complain. sou is literally so beautiful i love him and hes an actual cinnamon roll despite the fact that he can fuck a bitch up. sob i wish there was more :,) i really enjoyed seeing them gradually get along, truly enemies to lovers, tho sou was a reluctant enemy LOL
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
