Monokuro Limit

Complete | Maine | 2000 released

it was good but rushed, i feel like the end was too rushed :0 they just met and suddenly they were fcking each other and the thing that i didnt like the most was they still kept on calling him kuro, its like they still hadn't moved on yet which feels kind of painful :< rui's relationship with a.i. kuro was good though !! i really loved the development but the ending just wasnt for me, maybe if there was bit more development rather than them doing it without even knowing a thing abt each other, then that would've been much better. overall it was wholesome yet angsty but the end was unsatisfying, but i think it was still a good read + the art looks amazing

Maku ga Oritara Bokura wa Tsugai

Complete | Zarame same | 2019 released

ok so idrk what to say bc tbh this was a good plot for an omegaverse, the MCs weren't toxic to each other and there wasnt any rape involved which im glad abt, but the whole time i was reading it, i never really felt anything ?? i cant explain it but their connection wasnt really there for me ?? like yea the alpha is so sweet (which i love omg hes adorable !!) but i just didnt feel their love ?? and i also dont remember them saying ily to each other ??? or maybe im just dumb and couldn't remember but overall this was good !! it was kind of bland but its a healthy omegaverse story so i liked it plus the art's so so pretty also i love the part where the omega came out and suddenly everyone was coming out too, idk i just felt his statement there <3 good read !! ☆ edit 220102: its still ongoing omg !! so far its looking good~ i feel like my previous review might change since there's still more to their story ^^

Idol-kun wa Abakaretai

Complete | Shimahokke | 2018 released

this was adorable omfg the last panel i cried this was so good !!! i love the pairing of a paparazzi and an idol <3 tbh i thought i wasnt gonna like this bc i thought it was gonna be toxic and stuff, but no, it was actually quite fluffy and it also had some humor !! at first it will look toxic but it will all makes sense at the end, like after reading towards the end, thats when i realized/understood where they were coming from :> also the secondhand embarrassment i felt on the hotel scene omg i cannot i felt so bad for yukinari hsksjsjsj but im glad what he thought of wasnt what was really happening :D the last part where kota was whining at yukinari was the absolute cutest oml i want more of them ☹️ theyre so freaking adorable grrrrr :( though i dont really like paparazzis bc i feel like theyre way too invasive with the idols/actors privacy so ngl i felt kind of uncomfy when he kept on stalking them but nonetheless thats his job and hes being forced (sort of) anyway overall this was really good !! i love the plot <3 the characters are likable esp the other members of scoop theyre cuties ogata is very strict but he does have some soft spot in him !! (also i think something's going on between him and chiaki ^^ we need a sequel/spin-off !!) ❣ the main couple is so adorable, i wanted to see more of them though but still the ending was perfect >< it felt so domestic and warm i liked it a lot there wasnt any unnecessary drama which im glad abt :D idk what else to say but theyre cute and wholesome !!!! also i loved the art, its gorgeous good read

Hello Morning Star

Complete | Kurahashi Tomo | 2000 released

omg i didnt know atsuto had his own story >< im so glad we finally get to see it ❣ if im being honest i find this much more interesting and fun rather than the first story bc there were some uncomfy parts there which im glad arent included here :D this plot is quite common but i cant get enough of it ^^ i keep wanting to read rivals to lovers tropes <3 but what makes it more interesting is the fact that they were actually in a relationship before but then they broke up :> i love the tiny bit of angst and drama that it has i really love their dynamic >< atsuto's personality seems a bit different here ?? idk why but ig its bc its been a long time since i read the first manga but i felt a different vibe from him here (meant it in a positive way) apparently theres still a second volume to come so im excited to see what unfolds in the future esp when the author adds the atsuto's brother hehe, i want to see the interactions !!! for now im giving it a 5, it might change after the second volume, we shall see but so far im really into this

Biting the Tiger

Complete | Mindal Park | 2000 released

i really regret not reading this and just putting it on my want to read list literally one of the best bl mangas i really love the plot and how the both of their characters develop the conflicts are ok too it wasnt too much nor underwelming i really love their relationship and how supportive their friends are as well <33 as the other couples all of them are so adorable

Hoshoku Taishou Hinadori-kun

Ongoing | Ayato miyoshi | 2019 released

this was good but its too rushed :( i felt like it had a really great start but the end was so abrupt we didnt even get to see them officially together D: also i wasnt really a fan of the "teach me how to have sex" trope its a personal preference hehe :> but i do love takaomi, he seems like a jerk but honestly hes a pretty nice guy !! he didnt put it in until he confirmed hina's feelings for him (though we never got to see him put it in ) hes a very caring person as well ^^ as for hina, he was so blinded with love (which i find cute, esp when he softens up and blushes ><) im glad that hes finally moved on :D i hope this gets a volume 2 bc i really need to see more of them !!!! overall this trope was kind of common but what made it unique is that they were idols which i found interesting the plot was kind of fast and it had an abrupt ending, but i think the story itself was pretty good the art looks beautiful as well all the characters looked stunning good read !!

At 25:00, in Akasaka

Ongoing | hiroko natsuno | 2000 released

omfg i love them ㅠㅠ this is so freaking good !! and its still ongoing holy shit >< im excited for volume 3 i hope we can see more of their development and i want to see them exhange "i love you"s ngl im not really into the sex friends trope but if we take asami's feelings into consideration, he suggested that bc he liked shirisaki so ヾ(^-^)ノ i love how respectful asami is, he really said consent i really like the flow of the story !! shirisaki is so cute esp his straightforward attitude hes so feisty and shy at the same time i love him ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚ i love every single character in this story, sakuma is such a fun friend i love him !! tbh i didnt really hate yamase, hes a very fun addition to the characters ~ idk what awaits us for volume 3, prolly some drama/conflict to strengthen their relationship ?! welp i cant wait for the upcoming volumes also i want to mention that the art style gets better every chapter like omfg all the characters look so hot this is such a great find i love them !!!!

Ask Affection

Complete | Yoichi makina | 2019 released

i didnt really expect that much but omg this was actually pretty good !! their relationship turned out so healthy and cute this type of bl isnt really my cup of tea but i liked this ❣ the plot was pretty good :D its quite new to me bc this had the 'picking up a stray cat' trope but they were actually old classmates !! also i really the last panel thats was so cute issa leaving the adult industry on his own accord is what i really liked bc that shows how much he loves and how committed he is to hiroto im glad that hiroto finally had the love that he deserves ^^ also i love how supportive issa's colleague is, shes so sweet even giving him advice !! i also love hiro's friend at the bar theyre so funny and supportive too overall i liked this a lot <3 there wasnt any unnecessary drama and the couple had good communication the pacing was quite fast at the beginning but i mean this is a pretty short manga which is why i want more ㅠㅠ though im pretty satisfied with the ending i love them they look so cute <3 the art looks very pretty too ❣ good read !!

30 Sai Kara no Coming Out

Complete | NATSUHARA Saike | 2018 released

both stories are cute though i think the second story started off with some dubcon elements but ig they eventually got together !! i liked the first story bc it was so healthy and adorable <3 the plot was quite common but still very cute i wish we could've seen more of them dating but overall it was very wholesome and hot ° ͜ʖ ͡ - the development felt natural too !! i think the second couple could've been a lot better but who am i to complain hihi i still liked it though im glad that mitsuru finally found his love and happiness the art style looks so pretty too good read !!
