Kikoeru?

Complete | HASHIMOTO Aoi | 2000 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ i have mixed opinions abt this one~ i did rate this 5 stars bc i enjoyed it, there wasnt any unnecessary or annoying conflicts and the couple was so wholesome <33 though i did find the pacing quite fast and their feelings for each other felt kind of forced in a way ?? like idk how to explain it but i felt like they just instantly fell in love with each other esp on yuno's side :O but i still liked it !! also i love the fact that yuno didnt pursue him while itsuki was still a minor :> thats cool of him to wait for itsuki and to let him grow on his own~ i was having thoughts, what if they didnt get to meet each other after 2 years, will they get together or not ?? both of them haven't moved on, so ig they'll probably find a way to find a way back to each other somehow~ takumi is the bestest boy !! hes such a supportive friend, he really cares for itsuki <3 i love him >< i hope he also gets to find his own love~ sano is such a supportive friend and boss towards yuno too :> i love how the characters didnt have any prejudice in here everyone was so nice and accepting of them and also the other couple listener <33 the plot was quite simple but i haven't encountered a dj-listener pair-up before so that was refreshing ^^ their dynamic was cute too and even though it was quite fast paced i still felt their connection so i enjoyed it i wish we got to see more of them after being an established couple, but the extras were so adorable and hot at the same time so i'm satisfied ^^ the art style got better as the chapters progressed though it was already pretty since the first chapter i've also read some of this author's works and i must say i've taken a liking to them ❣️ this was a cute read !!

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was painfully beautiful ㅠㅠ i didnt expect to rate this 5 stars lol ogawa chise miss maam you got me in deep the whole thing was quite hard except for the last part it was so toxic and i felt so much pity for iouri :< but it was still so beautiful ?? idk how to explain it but the metaphors and the plot itself were so deep that i enjoyed reading it :> this was so freaking twisted but it ended in quite a wholesome way ♡ i'm kind of confused abt emma though, did they adopt her ?? it seems like they did and i find that so precious :(( they look so happy now i'm crying ㅠㅠ iouri and adam deserved this ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚ carlos and mikhail's story whew~ i wish there was more abt them too !!! their past was so interesting and i love how carlos is still chasing him after 30 years pls the leader of all the marupoks out there king shit back to the main couple, in the scene where iouri was running hysterically and bit that stranger, i had a feeling there was something angsty in a way like he was abt to die or something, i didnt expect for adam to be stabbed though lol tbh at that moment i just wished iouri was the stabbed bc i just wanted him to be free and i just didnt think that they would have a happy ending but of course adam saves the day which shocked me, i thought that was the angsty part bc i expected him to die but ig ogawa chise was kind enough to give them a happy ending YEY thanks author-san <33 idk what else to say abt the plot bc it was so sick and twisted but it ended in such a good way which made me like it :D i'm glad they finally got the happiness they deserve <33 after going through all those things, esp iouri :< he deserves the world pls (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ ू) i always say this but i wish i got to see more of them like i'm satisfied with the ending, they looked so happy together and now with emma it looked more wholesome too ❣️ but i was satisfied with how it ended~ also i love how they even sent a postcard to mikhail :< so cute ♡ overall this was fcked up but ig in a good way lol it was so dark and deep, it took me on a rollercoaster ride~ but i landed safely and i still enjoyed it bc of the wonderful and adorable ending adam and iouri absolutely love and are crazy for each other also the adam is using iouri part in the beginning got me shookt lol i didnt expect that at all i love those plot twists as expected of this author the art style is amazing as per usual i've already read multiple works from this author and they never disappoint ^^ though some of their works are indeed too dark and twisted for me lol but this one had me falling !!! this was a twisted yet beautiful read !!

Fuck Buddy

Complete | Hinako | 2018 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ i didnt expect to like this !! tbh i've actually put this off for a long time now bc threesomes arent my cup of tea and i also thought that it might've been toxic since the cover radiated those vibes to be the saying "don't judge a book by its cover" is indeed true lol bc their relationship ended up being so wholesome and adorable wtf (╥﹏╥) the only thing that bothered me was the scene where ryo paid other people to do him, i understand why he did that but like that wasnt necessary :< but i mean before being involved with each other they were already insatiable people so ig it wasnt much of a bother :D while reading this, i was hoping that it will be the ML who falls in love first or the one who catches feelings first, but since we only saw ryo's pov in the first chapters i thought that "oh it's another MC falls in love with ML first" but then towards the end when akanishi was testing ryo, he was actually the one who fell for him first he even did everything just to be able to live with ryo pls ㅠㅠ the dedication go off king though if he just told him the truth it wouldn't have caused any of the misunderstanding~ but thats conflict for you this is one of the stories wherein i was left satisfied with the ending, like we really got to see them confirming their feelings for each other, we also got to see them being lovey-dovey and domestic ❣️ they also professed their love for each other hehe the extras were so freaking cute and wholesome i want to cry akanishi's clingy-ness and ryo's cold personality is just adorable to see >< even though ryo's cold, he still softens up to akanishi pls i love them this type of plot is a first for me since as i said in the beginning, threesome tropes aren't my thing :> so i'm surprised that i actually enjoyed this !! the plot was light but it also had some depth since we got to see the couple's past how they both had their own pain and anxieties/reasons why they turned to sex for comfort :< i saw some comments abt them being so misogynistic, but tbh i feel like that was bc of their past ?? i think ryo's thing of hating women or calling them noisy bc they want to wear condoms is the pain he got from his mom, its bc of the scene where his mom reminded him to never forget condoms if he doesn't want to end up like his mom which pertains that he shouldn't have been born right ?? so yea i think ryo saying those things are bc of his past :> but of course thats not an excuse to say those things, though ig thats the context as to why the author made him say those things :) overall i really liked this, the couple's relationship wasn't toxic at all ♡ i felt their connection and i love their dynamic as well <33 ryo's is the only person who can tolerate akanishi's clingy personality hehe ^^ the extras were the absolute cutest which is why i'll probably read this again the art style is so pretty too !! they both look so hot and i love their sharp features this was a very interesting and cute read !!

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was pretty cute ^^ i didn't expect it to be fluffy and adorable >< the flow was just calm, i didn't feel any annoyance at the little conflicts though i did feel multiple secondhand embarrassments for tokita lol i just feel like he was suddenly being so desperate but ig it worked out at the end~ the plot was pretty simple though i did find their set-up quite unique with kayama being a closeted gay who keeps being arranged in a matchmaking system and an outgoing frivolous puppy tokita :D i like their dynamic ^^ i think i just wanted a bit more from the plot bc it was a little bit bland but i did feel their connection i just felt like it was a bit too fast for me :)) the 2nd story (oneshot) was okay, for a oneshot it was pretty interesting too so i enjoyed it ^^ the extras are adorable too <3 tokita is such a handful puppy but i just love their tandem >< esp with kayama's taste for fashion pls its so funny they're pretty cute together, i just wish there were more scenes with them being domestic and stuff (i mean there were i just wished there was more~) ❣️ overall this was pretty fun :> i totally think this deserves a higher rating !! this author's works are always filled with humour with couple dynamics that i love ^^ there wasn't any unnecessary drama and they were mostly fluffy, funny, and adorable ♡ the ending was wholesome >< i just wished we got to see more dialogues/conversation after they hugged but i mean i think that scene cleared up all the doubts in tokita's head <3 the art style is gorgeous i love clean, sharp, and mature looking men ( ´~`) this was a good read !!
