nini's manga / #★★★☆☆(34)

this was kind of cute ^^ i love crossdressing and bl intertwined so i liked it :> but tbh there was too much crying and awkwardness that made me feel meh D: i think they were adorable after being official but there was still lots of crying and awkwardness involved so i was a bit :/ though the last panel where they were talking abt the simple things was so wholesome >< they looked so in love with each other~ overall i think both of them were cute ^^ am i mad at yuto for lying, uhm i wouldn't say that i'm mad since he didn't hurt aoi in any way and he even helped him gain courage and confidence in himself, but him taking advantage and making moves like kissing and touching suddenly was a bit too much for my liking :(( a peck would've been okay since he was caught up in the moment and all but for him to devour aoi i felt slightly uncomfy bc aoi was shocked by it and of course that was done without consent but aoi ended liking it so ig i'm not that mad abt it :'> anyway, i wish there was more like at least an extra bc i wanted to see more of their genuine emotion like the one in the last panel (´ω`) the conflict here was not for me lol hskshsd i don't like how the pedo guy just kept on coming back and wasn't even dealt with property :'DD he's just running around loose tbh i expected more from this since it had high rating but i mean the art style is pretty this was an okay read :>

tbh i expected a lot from this bc it did have kind of a high star rating plus it is going to have a bl korean adaptation which is why i decided to read it in the first place, but i'm sorry but i was disappointed :')) at first it was kind of confusing since the dialogues were a mix of narration and inner monologues but after i got used to it i think the plot was all over the place too :'> i felt like there were too many plot holes and there were also issues that were opened but was never properly discussed :< i agree with the author that this seems like more of a coming of age type rather than bl because the plot focused more of the characters' inner problems and past rather than their relationship itself ^^ but the thing is, i really wanted to see some character development esp from taehyun bc he did say that he'll try to like dayeol so wait for him but then it just skips to them being together already and he's still quite the same :'DD the reviews say that their relationship is healthy blah blah but in reality they don't even have proper communication bc taehyun keeps hiding his feelings and he never even replied to dayeol's i like yous :')) i also want to mention how taehyun's trauma was just taken lightly ?? like he never got medical attention or diagnosis for his mental state when we can clearly see that something's probably wrong with him esp when he harmed himself with the pot. idk if this story had the "psychological" tag but i'm putting it in bc it had that vibe the whole time and i think even up until the ending, taehyun was still quite suffering even though he slowly started to open up to his family :< i have a lot more to say but yea i'm not sure if i'm gonna watch the live action bc i was confused here and tbh it was kind of boring esp now that i know how open the ending is, i won't have anything to look forward to in the series :'(( but the author did mention they were still not good at showing the "love" part in the bl genre so i don't blame them~ and i think this was also their first time if i'm not mistaken ^^ this was just a critique for the work itself but i'm not judging the author whatsoever :)) the art style's pretty nice this was a so so read ^^

this was kind of cute but a bit disturbing as well :'> it's a guilty pleasure of mine since i did quite enjoy reading it but the thing is i was just a bit bothered by their relationship since takamura is his teacher, it's odd for me to say this bc i've read at least 50 mangas with this type of trope but this one was a bit too much jahahshshd they kept having sex in every single chapter and i also didn't feel quite comfortable since takamura kept on forcing rin to go to his house and tbh the cabin scene was definitely dubcon since rin was probably was feeling indebted to takamura that time esp when he just saved him from falling off the cliff as well as a bit hazy and traumatized from the experience :(( i was uncomfortable the whole time bc the teacher was the one who was courting his student but as i said it was a guilty pleasure bc its very rare to see this type of dynamic so i quite liked too, and they have a background as to why takamura's pursuing rin so ig its not that creepy at all.... overall it was okay, might be a little uncomfortable to some, but it wasn't the worst ^^ their conflict was quite petty and immature tbh esp with takamura being 7 years older and a grown ass man but ig it ended well for them :')) the piano thing could've been better if it was incorporated more, i actually added this to my read list bc i was expecting a bit of emotion esp with the piano involved in the story but ig they were still kind of cute :> shino is such a good friend, always being there and supporting rin ^^ also can we talk abt rin's father >< he's so gorgeous !!!! ㅠㅠ i hope takamura stops lying to rin's father though :< i wanted to see their relationship after rin graduated since that setting would probably be hard for them but ig the ending was okay too~ the art style is pretty though this was an okay read :))

i really wanted to like this but omfg the amount of things that was normalized and joked abt was not it for me :(( sudou is so fucking disgusting HELLO first he bullies kishi bc his facial expressions are interesting to him second he sexually harasses him :'> third HE JOKES ABT RAPING HIM ?????????? girl how am i supposed to like him ㅠㅠ also the way his friend just enables him and even supports him PLEASE :')) i feel so bad for kishi if i were to just read that part and forget abt everything then it would've been great but i don't want to push sudou's red flag personality under the rug so <33 also he never apologized for anything :'DD he never addressed why he did that to kishi and he never told kishi that he liked him :'> i don't think they'll last long tbh :(( ik sudou did help him in some way ?? idk he pushed kishi to be more comfortable with ppl ??? by what u ask ?? by harassing him on a daily of course <33 ik kishi's older brother was trying to distance the two but i'm annoyed bc he never knew what sudou was doing to kishi at school before sudou became "special" to kishi :'> ugh i'm just frustrated at this story tbh i rated it a 3 and i also put the "cute" and "sweet" tags bc the extras saved it for me esp the children~ i love their relationship with kishi's siblings which is why i gave it some reconsideration but it was bad :')) the art style and the children were the only redeeming factor ㅠㅠ this was meh :'DD petition for kishi to find a much better person to be with !!!!! <33
