Rain Again

Ongoing | Jung Seokchan | 2000 released

i love every single work of this author and this was also one of them ^^ it's been weeks since i've read this but i only got the time to make a review now bc our summer break just started anyway this was pretty good and adorable >< i love their dynamic and the visuals for this one too !!! i love jin's lips very much like omfg he looks so cute >< i love how adorable he looks but he's actually a delinquent but a kind one at that :> the plot was quite simple but i did like the touch of depth from wujin's past and how it's also kind of intertwined with jin since they were from the same school in high school ^^ i just love the whole vibe all throughout and i like how it all made sense at the end :DD they were also pretty funny and i just love the comedic atmosphere their dynamic had :)) the relationship of the two was quite fast i must admit but i mean its a 20 chapter series so for the author to squeeze in development and plot in those limited amount of pages is tough but again, they still managed to pull off this fun and adorable work <33 it was quite wholesome the whole time, there were bits of conflict here and there but overall its just the two flirting and being all cute esp our puppy top wujin >< again, the art style is amazing !! i'm obsessed with this author's art style this was a wholesome and adorable read !!

Konna Koi ni Narunante

Complete | Haruyama moto | 2019 released

i'm really a sucker for these types of dynamic >< i love seeing polar opposite couples :'> i love them both so much pls !!! its always the short ones that are good >< the plot is you typical polar opposite coworkers but i just think the execution was so adorable and wholesome <33 even though it only had 3 chapters, i still felt the connection between the two and it didn't feel that fast ^^ i love how kido turns into a softie once he's with takamura PLEASE IM SO SAD ㅠㅠ he's so precious i cannot :')) takamura is such a sweet puppy top >< and we know he's obsessed with kido they're misunderstandings are cute too :'< i just love them !! this will probably one of those books that i'll come back to when i need some comfort bc they're just too wholesome and sweet ♡ i love all of this author's work >< the art style is very pretty as well this was a great read !!

Raion Gotoki no Kuni Kara

Complete | hakase | 2019 released

this was so freaking funny and wholesome >< the plot was pretty simple and light but it was very unique since it was abt a budding romance between an exhange student from kenya and an adorable japanese boy ^^ what i liked abt this is just how the author managed to educate us abt luca's culture, they also mixed in ridiculous and funny things esp with the couple's awkward yet cute interactions i must admit their relationship started out very fast but it didn't feel like that bc they were just so adorable and i felt the connection between them :> they were just so funny, wholesome, and wild all at the same time which is why i had a great time reading it !! <33 i love how the story managed to also show their relationship after high school ^^ i have nothing else to say tbh :')) i just love them and their healthy relationship ^0^ i love how luca said he was polygamous but maintained his loyalty for makoto ㅠㅠ he's really out there boasting abt makoto is the only love of his life (╥﹏╥) i love them both so much i need to see the wedding >< though its scary to think abt how same-sex relationships are illegal in luca's culture :(( but i'll just put that thought behind the back of my mind and imagine a happy married life for them overall this was a very fun read !! it was quite bizarre bc of how wild and unique their pairing is but they fit well together~ i also always feel something whenever i see their kissing scenes >< its so sensual and full of love :')) i love them and i also love the art style !! they're so gorgeous ㅠㅠ can we have a moment for luca's mom ᕕ( ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ)ᕗ ugh everyone was so freaking gorgeous :'> very much obsessed >< this was a great and fun read !!

Seikaku Kuzu De Nani Ga Warui

Complete | SHISHITO Kalali,SHISHITOU Karari,SHISITO Karari,SHISITOU Karari | 2016 released

this was okay, they were cute but there wasn't much connection for me~ i do like their dynamic since i'm very into polar opposites ^^ but i think their feelings, esp hanaura's, is still not yet there :)) tsuzuki seems nice and his feelings were pretty genuine but i was caught off guard by the sudden hand action by the front door lol kshskhdksh there were some parts that felt off and fastly paced but i think they were pretty cute ^^ the plot was kind of plain, not much is special abt them but i still enjoyed reading it ^^ i didn't know it had 3 volumes so i'll check those out too and hopefully there'll be more character development between the two :> the art style was pretty !! this was a pretty okay read ^^

Sono Suki Honto

Complete | TAKI Nekoze | 2019 released

this was really good !!! i've never encountered this type of scenario or trope wherein they were previously together (as a punishment game) and then they got reunited ^^ its a really refreshing concept and i really love their dynamic as well >< i like the way the author told the story, they mixed in the couple's past and switched povs in between~ i like how the plot was light but it also had depth since there was an unresolved problem between the two :> i love the mutual pining and i love how supportive their friends are !! i'm glad that hase learned from his mistake and fought for their relationship :)) i really felt their emotions esp when nadaguchi cried PLEASE i was quite emotional too ㅠㅠ i love the whole confession and the line "this will be my last lie" ugh it just fits together so well <33 overall i really enjoyed this one ^^ it had the right amount of pain and fluff i felt the genuineness from both sides and the extras were so adorable and wholesome (╥﹏╥) there wasn't any annoying conflict and the pacing was just right :DD i wish we got to see more of them but tbh i was very satisfied with how it ended esp with the cute extras ^^ the art style is so pretty !! this was a great and wholesome read !!

Itooshiki Hibi

Complete | Sono.n | 2019 released

this was so beautiful :')) it reminded me of Life: Senjou no Bokura bc of how realistic it was ^^ it showed how life went for an lgbt+ couple who had a 10-year age gap~ of course they had a bit of problems at the beginning since their pairing was a tutor and a student but i love how there was no grooming involved and makoto did what a mature adult should do, but kazuhiko fought for their relationship and waited up until he graduated to prove himself that his love for makoto is real and that he'll willing to wait even if it takes 20 years for makoto to believe him :'> i just love how wholesome they were all throughout :'(( they were so domestic and adorable even though they were old already <33 they still had so much love for each other up until their last breath ㅠㅠ the story shows you how their life progressed and how their character developed as the years went by ^^ it also showed how much they value and treasure each other esp when kazuhiko got into an accident, ik how painful and anxiety-inducing that was :(( i'm glad it didn't leave any type of effects or harm on kazuhiko :)) overall i really love this (´ω`) i love how the plot was simple yet meaningful ♡ it shows that age gaps isn't something that should be stigmatized (of course unless if there was grooming, pedophilia, and other illegal and disgusting behaviors involved) i must admit that this age gap was a bit big and if you look at them, it was between a student and a working adult in his late 20s but the reason why i liked this and wasn't uncomfy at all is because if you looked at makoto, he never acted in a predacious way, he never made any moves or sexual approach towards kazuhiko~ he respected what kazuhiko's mom told him and he completely distanced himself from kazuhiko :> and even after they got reunited, he still never did anything and just continued to teach kazuhiko ^^ he waited and even refused kazuhiko at first but i'm glad that they ended up together bc look at how they made each other happy for the rest of their lives (╥﹏╥) i also really love the ending :')) it was bittersweet but i felt like it was so wholesome bc it just felt right <33 kazuhiko was happy and i just love the final panels esp with the letter, i teared up and got emotional bc of how heartwarming it was ㅠㅠ i just love them ugh they are the standard !!!! this was a masterpiece >< and the art style is gorgeous !! this was a great read !!

Cello Mellow

Complete | TAGURA Tohru | 2000 released

all the stories were actually pretty cute though some of it were open ended~ i wanted to see more of all the couples since i think all of it were oneshots but i must say all of them were actually pretty good and wholesome <33 i'm just really not into multiple stories since i like focusing on one plot while reading but all of the stories included here had similar set-ups and dynamic which is why it was good ^^ there wasn't much drama at all and more of the developing relationships between high school students~ i think even though they were all oneshots, every single one had their own meaning and vibe :)) every story was quite poetic and i also like the flow of it ^^ the art style is pretty !! this was a good read !!

Kuro X Koi

Complete | TAKAGI Ryou | 2014 released

this was good ^^ i think the story itself wasn't that bad though i think the plot and the flow needs a bit more polishing but i think it was pretty good~ the story between ao and kurose ws quite unique but predictable :> i haven't read much stories abt twins so this was quite refreshing >< i also like how each couple had their own story and we got to see how they are interconnected with each other :DD midori and shirose's story was cute as well but i think i didn't feel much of their feelings since it was quite rushed~ their relationship was a bit too fast but i mean both couples are happy and they stayed together up until aki was already in high school which meant the relationship's going strong <33 i also liked how the author included aki and akane's story bc we also got to see how ao and midori were doing after the kids grew up >< their relationship was your typical mutual pining but still adorable :> overall this was pretty good and i enjoyed it~ all the couples had a cute relationship and there wasn't much conflict :)) i wish we got to see more domesticity esp more scenes of ao + kurose, and midori + shirose taking care of aki together hehe but i was pretty satisfied so it was a good read !! the art style's pretty too !!

Sick

Complete | KURAHASHI Tomo | 2014 released

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

Brother Complex Onii-san, Kocchi Muite

Complete | KINOSHITA Neri | 2019 released

this was pretty good ^^ i would've given it 5 stars if mitsuhara wasn't as pushy as he was ㅠㅠ the feelings felt quite forced and haru looked like he was being manipulated :'> but they turned out to be an adorable couple :)) yuki and shinji looks adorable too ^^ i'm glad haru wasn't your typical brocon who would keep his brother to himself, he also doesn't have any prejudice and gave his full support to his brother <33 mitsuhara seems like a pretty nice guy, he was very supportive to yuki, he gives great advice, and he comforts haru well but the thing is that i just felt uncomfy at some parts esp when he forcibly kisses haru at his most vulnerable state :< overall it was good ^^ the plot wasn't the most unique but it is quite new and refreshing to see :DD i'm glad everything turned out well for them and mitsuhara's students accepted him for who he is <33 wish we got to see more yuki + shinji moments hehe they seemed like an adorable couple too >< the art style is pretty !! this was a good read !!
