Vanilla Chocolate Cigarette

Complete | panda | 2000 released

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★☆☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ the rating i gave is for the second couple hihi i already read the prequel and i just love seeing toyohashi and takatsuki being all domestic and cute >< i'm sad we didn't get to see them go on that trip though :(( but this was such a cute sequel (though this was actually the main story since this was created first ) <33 about the second couple, i think tsubaki is cute and azuma seems like a fun person esp the extras they looked adorable ^^ but i personally think that the pacing was a bit fast, idk maybe its just me but i just felt like he just suddenly liked azuma lol i mean i understand why he caught some feelings but i just think the end was quite rushed~ i wish we got to see more of their interactions after they got together too :> the extra in bitter cigar (the prequel) showed teased the assumed meeting of the first and second couple which is adorable i hope the author showed us the whole thing ㅠㅠ but nonetheless both books were so good !!! ♡ i hope the author makes a 3rd volume for us to see more of their established relationships !! ^^ overall this was a very fun and adorable sequel <3 i'm happy that tsubaki got a good character development and he also found his happiness >< the art style is adorable i probably have a thing for takatsuki's crying face >< this was a good read !!

Matsuyoi no Oni

Complete | Fumi tsuyuhisa | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ i had a hard time rating this bc i was thinking to myself that if this story had a different art style i think i wouldn't like it as much jsjkdjsj i mean it was good, but i think the plot was still lacking esp the ending :> i wanted to see more of their development since they didn't really get to express their feelings properly to each other ^^ i think the plot was unique i just wished there was more to it hehe~ i didn't understand much how minoru's soul suddenly ended up with tomoe the whole scene that led up to there was kind of confusing for me but maybe that's also just my reading comprehension anyway about the couple, i think they ended up being cute esp at how clingy maru became >< their didn't feel toxic at all since maru didn't force maru into it since minoru himself was the one who made the deal ^^ though maru did lie abt the ways for him to feed lol which makes me think that he was probably already attracted to minoru since the beginning the growth of their feelings felt quite natural so i got attached to them~ also zashiki is an adorable babie <33 overall i think this was a good one just a little bit lacking but i still enjoyed it !! i'm absolutely obsessed with the art style pls literally one of the bests out there >< i liked their dynamic too ^^ they have humor and cuteness <33 i love maru's duality when it comes to minoru :D he's like a babie following him but when he gets protective he suddenly becomes intimidating and scary i love him ❣️ he always complains but he still follows maru >< i also like his dog form it's very unique looking~ i wish we got to see more of minoru with maru in dog form hehe :)) anyway this was a good read !!

Owner of the (Animal) Detective Agency

Complete | Noji | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was so cute ^^ i really liked the unique and funny concept of them being detectives as well as being animal detectives >< the way they bring home a pet from the cases they handle is so adorable :> fumi and rou's dynamic is one of my faves bc they're both adorable and funny ♡ at first, i thought they were already an established couple bc of the advances rou did at the first chapter lol i also didn't expect the age gap between them though there wasn't a clear age for fumi (i think) but it is implied that hes a lot older than rou :)) i'm not bothered though since fumi never groomed rou~ he was even the one who made a deal to wait until rou was an adult ^^ i just wish the development between them was shown more bc it felt like it happened so quickly :> but overall it was still very cute and i'm glad that they got together all the characters esp the adorable pets were so lovable and fun to read <33 the art style is so so pretty this was a good read !!

Gorani Jeon

Complete | Chychy | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★☆☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ ik my rating is not in line with my overall rating but i have to say this was pretty cute and i just wanted to give it 5 stars hehe ^^ though the plot was meh and nothing made much sense but it was still pretty cute <33 ran is such a precious ML and bau is an adorable MC >< their baby is so freaking adorable i just had to give it a perfect rating ㅠㅠ but if i'm being technical this wasn't the best :> but it was still okay :)) i think the art carried it since if it didn't have a good art style i prolly would've ditched reading it lol (´~`;) i solely read this bc there was a baby and i'm a real sucker for mpreg esp when the author lets us see the baby D': so yea i just had to ㅠㅠ anyway i don't really have a lot to say abt this since the plot was very light, straightforward, and comedic ^^ the pacing was fast as well since it only had a few chapters, but i must say for 20 chapters i think it was actually better than i thought :)) the art style's gorgeous the mountain and tiger gods were adorable i liked them too ♡ there weren't much drama except for the first part, but it was solved immediately and it wasn't annoying so props for that ~ this was an adorable and okay read !!

Soutai Flight Sign

Complete | Munaita | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was pretty good !! i didn't expect much from this bc of the low rating but it was actually pretty sweet and adorable <3 i've read some pilot/airplane related bl but i haven't read a pilot x mechanic pair up so this was new and refreshing~ this was kind of like an enemies to lovers trope though the twist is that rihito has liked daiki for a very long time ^^ which i actually felt or had a hint of it hehe >< i kind of expected for rihito to have some kind of feelings for daiki even before they talked on the first scene and my guess was right the plot was quite simple, light, and it also had some humor which i liked <33 the development of the two had a good pace :> it felt natural and in the manga's timeline, it probably took months since they kept having different schedules and they were both busy so i think the pacing was pretty good :)) i also felt their connection though i wanted to see more of them~ but the extras were so adorable and wholesome so i'm pretty satisfied ❣️ i'm also glad that there weren't any unnecessary drama and that daiki was an understanding person that he let rihito go since he knows that it was his dream >< we could see how both of them matured and grew so i really liked that ^^ esp the time skip pls i loved that ending scene ㅠㅠ their friends were also pretty fun to read and they also look supportive esp with kiki, hes very open with his sexuality and the team are fine with it so i liked their friendship too <33 overall it was a nice read ^^ i felt quite attached to the characters the extras had them wearing couple rings pls it was so cute (╥﹏╥) also the extra quite adorable too though i just skimmed through it since i'm not really into multiple stories when i'm reading one book :> the art style was pretty as well this was a good read !!

Okaeri Aureole

Complete | takamatsu misaki | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was such a good slow burn !! it felt so realistic <3 it had a bittersweet taste but i'm glad they got together in the end (╥﹏╥) this is one of the stories wherein i really felt the development of both characters' feelings for each other ♡ the author first showed how kazu's feelings came to be and after that they showed how moto was also starting to grow some feelings up until he finally confessed to kazu~ every single scene just felt realistic to me, the plot was simple yet sophisticated i thought it would be your typical light and adorable childhood friends trope but nope~ it had deeper scenarios and they didnt get together asap like most childhood friend tropes :D someone also pointed this out but i really liked how moto didnt break up with his gf when kazu confessed to him bc most authors would immediately make them break up and suddenly the MC also have feelings for the other person but here, moto really took his time in thinking abt kazu's feelings, he continued to be with his gf since there wasn't any problem until the gf was the one who cut ties between them since she felt like moto was acting more of a friend to her~ after the break up part, moto didnt immediately have feelings for kazu too ^^ it was subtle but little by little his feelings for kazu grew up until he also realized and thought abt :> this is the reason why i thought that this was a pretty realistic plot ^^ the author really took the time to show us the couple's feelings and connection which made me get more attached to them ❣️ the only thing i would've liked is to see more of them after being officially together ㅠㅠ ik we got some short scenes with them being domestic, but still i wanted to see more of them being sweet with each other hehe <33 but other than that this was such a cute and sweet read ^^ the art style is pretty too this was good read !!
