Yume no Kuni in My Darling
So the first story was my favorite and most complete. It was short and sweet, I love crush stories. Second, just ends with out a conclusion and was wishy washy. Just too vague overall need more plot. Third, was a quick oneshot yakuza hookup. Not much to say. So, the self censorship was kinda nice cause you don't have that distracting white blobs. It worked great in some places where you have creative crops and positions. But, sometimes theres just something missing, literally, it's super weird to have frontal shots and no dick on a guy. It's just kinda creapy. Also, I like the art and especially the way the bodies were drawn like the simple lines for muscles.

Squee! Just in the first few pages my heart was going doki doki with the Absolute Adorableness of these cuties. The unique cute art had me Awwww-ing constantly and even though this book was filled with smexy times it felt so innocent. The only thing missing was plot... there just wasn't enough story. I loved that every couple was connected and lived in the same world.

Cuteness won! (=´∀`)人(´∀`=) My lifelong fear of spiders made me hesitate with this one, but the cuteness won me over. Some of the arm details were a bit too real for me and I had to hide the pictures, but I got over it as the story continued. In interesting take on monsters and spirits. The art was a bit messy at times but overall an enjoyable read.

This was so charming, I loved it. The art is great and the characters were so sweet and the sexy moments were fun. I want more, this author was just added to my fave list. What a simple heartwarming story. That scrunchy scene, I about exploded from the intense cuteness.

A slice of life story about love. A splash of cute and a bunch of innocence. A purehearted love, it was a good story that moved slow and had a real life feel and wasn't overly emotional in any direction. I liked it quite a bit but there was something missing, and I think maybe it was personality. It was all a bit too pleasant and ordinary maybe? I couldn't really fall into the characters. I don't know, but I'd reccomend a look. The art is quite nice too. Update: After taking another look, I think the tedious refusal was my problem, it's a bit dumb as conflicts go. And the lack of contrast in the art creates a monotonous feeling. Not the line drawing but the mostly white backgrounds could use some grey washes or something to break it up. Rating: A solid 3.5

Another great story from Masao sensei. A unrequited love returned, a simple fluffy slice of life of this cute pair. We follow them as the age and grow into their relationship. An uncomplicated love story, no real drama just a normal in love couple. I'm so unused to the crazy stupid drama in BL and on tv and anime that it's a bit slow but at the same time refreshing. Give it a read it might give you a nice break reading something so normal. Also these two are so pretty ^ ^
