☆ i didnt put any tags + rating bc i didnt really paid much attention to it, i kind of skimmed through the first chapters then read seriously towards the middle and then skimmed fastly again towards the end ☆ from what i remember it was pretty interesting though i wasnt really a fan of the S&M thing between the 1st FL, side FL, and side ML :> but other than that, i think the main couple was kind of cute ???

Kamiato Kara, Hatsukoi

Ongoing | Arinco | 2019 released

imo the plot was kind of ok except for the rape part, i mean i guess that was one of the most important details here but i just hate when rape is involved in these omegaverse stories hhhh but i still managed to read this bc both the MC and ML were victims, they were forced to do it by that uke (he doesnt deserve the other 2nd ML, i hoped he didnt have a good ending). the 2nd story wasnt for me so i dont plan on reading this anymore since the first couple's story is done (?) i liked the art style though !! <33

Tategami ni Airabuyuu

Ongoing | Kujirada hiroto | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★☆☆☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★☆☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★☆☆ ※ tbh i had high expectations on this one bc it had a high rating and the reviews were saying it was great, but ig it just wasn't my cup of tea :< i mean ig they're cute but i'm not really into this type of plot where MC has a crush on ML's sister and then its gonna turn into a "will u be my boyfriend" thing and ML will (kind of) use his sibling as a bait to make MC come and do stuff with him sjjsjjsjdjd though i still enjoyed reading since it was pretty comedic and i love seeing the action scenes ^^ i also like leo's gap moe, he's a strong cutie~ i didn't like his somewhat misogynistic remarks though abt how women shouldn't fight etc. etc. idk it wasn't that bad but it just felt quite off :(( anyway abt takeru, he looks like a nice guy but the dubcon at the hospital like bruh why D: i had mad respect for him for not pushing it too much or doing anything in the first parts but he just had to break that respect at the hospital overall it was pretty meh :/ there was more focus on the conflict and leo simping for takeru's sister than the proper development of leo's feelings for takeru :< leo's feelings just felt unnatural and forced so yeaaaa :(( the ending was quite cute though ig ?? if this was a bit longer maybe i would've liked it a bit more, i think. the art style's pretty cute though its an okay read ^^

Mou Ichido, Nando Demo

Complete | Aniya Yuiji | 2000 released

this wasn't my cup of tea, i'm not really into the fwb to lovers trope but i did think that they're cute though there were more smut scenes than the emotional ones so i didn't get to feel the pain/emotion that much and the plot was a bit confusing and all over the place like i know its for comedic purposes but i was quite confused at what's happening all throughout~ also what's with bl plots that have their MCs fall inlove with their siblings ???? i don't get it tbh like there's a lot of people that they can like, i'm not really into the MC liking ML's sister but thats much better than liking your own sister please ㅠㅠ overall it was meh, there were parts that i liked and some parts where its just absurd and confusing but i love amnesia tropes i just think that the emotions here weren't executed well :< i'm glad that fuji fell inlove with kotou again but the fact that his memories from two years ago still hasn't come back is just sad :(( but at least they're happy which is all that matters ^^ the art style is pretty !! this was an okay read !! :>

Apron Yankee!

Complete | KATAGIRI Lyla | 2017 released

this was okay ig ?? i think they were cute but i just didn't feel that much connection with their love bc it just all happened suddenly~ also there was dubcon but it wasn't that bad i think aniki's a nice person but yea ig this just wasn't for me :> but i did think the kids were really cute and the couple's dynamic was pretty comedic and adorable too ^^ the plot had potential if it had a slower pace and it had some more emotional or deep scenes but yea it was still okay and cute to read so :)) the art style is really pretty though !! this was an okay read ^^

Bi no Isu

Complete | IKE Reibun | 2000 released

okay so i don't really like reading books with multiple stories but the first part of this book had a continuation which i'm looking forward to although their relationship here didn't seem quite appealing bc it was kind of all over the place but i have hope for the sequels bc it had good ratings and the final panel and extras for the main couple were kind of cute so i'm giving them a chance ^^ for the second couple, this is the reason i rated is 3 stars bc wtf was that hdkshdjd ML is literally a red flag and the way he's aware and telling the MC he "trained" him for that pls that's so disgusting and traumatizing for the MC :< i just felt bad for him the whole time so 2nd couple is a no but the third couple balanced everything bc they were just fluffy all over >< i wish they had a longer story and the 2nd couple was just removed but yea i was pretty satisfied with couple #3 bc they had the healthiest build up and relationship out of all the couples present in this book <33 overall this was an average read, very mid bc the plot for the first couple was quite confusing and their relationship had visible red flags but they ended in a cute way (kind of), then 2nd couple instant drop bc everything was just a no, and lastly the 3rd couple bringing wholesome and sweetness to the table ^^ the art style's gorgeous too i really love this author's art style !! i've also read a bunch of their works so i'm looking forward to the sequels though i'm kind of expecting some angst there~ this was an okay read :>

Sumanai!! Masumi-kun

Complete | Itsuki Kaname | 2008 released

this was so so~ i think the plot really had potential if it was in a much slower pace bc everything just suddenly happened but i do think their relationship was pretty interesting and cute ^^ masumi seems like a very nice guy and you can really see how much he treasures and adores shiraishi so i'm very happy for them :> the thing i agree with the comments are was the thing regarding risaki, like she knows her father has abandonment issues esp when her mom left him and even masumi's dad who he got attached to suddenly passed away so for her to just do the same thing without any explanation just bc she was scared her dad was not gonna approve of their relationship is unnecessary :(( i really felt bad for shiraishi bc he had to go through that again :< but i'm glad risaki decided to go back and explained everything to her dad ^^ i also love how she got together with kyou's sister pls they're so cute >< i must admit i did feel quite weird abt their set up just bc he masumi had to call him father while having feelings for him lol at least he didn't call him father while masturbating lol anyway i think this wasn't so bad :)) i still enjoyed reading despite it being all over the place and with a fast pacing :> i wanted to feel more of their connection though bc it was too fast but i think they're pretty cute ^^ wish we got to see more domestic scenes after they got together but ig i'm glad it ended without any conflict involving kyou bc his extra monologue hinted that he also has feelings for shiraishi what's up with their daddy issues jk the art style looks pretty !! this was an okay read :>

Shiawase ni Michita Yoru no Niwa

Ongoing | Rocky | 2019 released

the only thing i liked abt this one was its art bc holy fuck its so pretty noah is so beautiful as for the story uh it was kind of confusing and i think the whole point of the plot was defying fate for love (?) but it was poorly executed so :0

Yoru to Futari

Complete | Josee | 2019 released

this was okay :> i think the plot was very light and didn't have much depth esp when it come to mitsuru and naoji's past but i did enjoy reading it ^^ though the age gap is a bit weird since he knew mitsuru since he was a child but they didn't grow up together and mitsuru was the one who kept pushing it with naoji so ig it was fine though i think it is a bit bittersweet since we'll never know if naoji manages to turn mitsuru into a vampire or if he'll die of natural causes in the future but at least we got a cute ending :'> overall it was not my cup of tea esp of how they got together but the art saved it and of course, vampires (i'm obsessed sorry) i think they were also kind of cute esp towards the end but yea there wasn't much plot and more of just mitsuru forcing naoji to have sex with him lol kshjshsjdh though the end had a bit more emotion the art style is amazing !! this was an okay read ^^
