➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this thoughts will be purely for the first volume~ the pace of their relationship was quite fast in the beginning, even kaoru acknowledged it haha but their relationship actually developed in a good pace !! hara fell in love at first sight but as they met up with each other, kaoru slowly developed his own feelings aaaaa i love it so much >< tbh i actually avoided reading this, this has been in my reading list since March i read the comments and they said it was quite angsty and painful so i avoided it, but after reading a lot of mangas ig i got used to it and i told myself i was ready to read this now haha and wow this is a masterpiece the plot is so good !! i maybe biased bc i love this author but their works are so good i really got connected to kaoru, it felt as if i was actually the one hurting :(( i understand why he was anxious since he already experienced it multiple times :< i'm so glad that haru didnt give up on him so easily ㅠㅠ he is one of the best semes out there pls !!!! hes so caring, sweet, respectful, mature, and devoted i love him so much >< thank u for treasuring my babie kaoru (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ ू) i already read the second volume and WHEW i thought it was just gonna be all fluffy but it was still a rollercoaster to read ^^ i'll probably have the same thoughts for my review there~ overall i really really love this !! it had the right amount of fluff and pain >< i'm glad they finally got together wiiiiee i really got attached to them ^^ i also love kaoru's brother pls hes such a supportive brother :( the kids are absolutely adorable too ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚ i love this author's art style hihi so pretty this was a great read !! edit 22-01-10: this just got updated with the extra and ackkk i'm so happy >< i really wanted to see the extra of this so i'm really grateful for the translator <33 i'm glad the author showed the closure between haru and the manager ^^ the end was pretty wholesome i love them so much ❣️

Complete | Sera | 2018 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★☆☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ okay i was so shocked at how promiscuous herve (alvie) was lol he was so strict, gentle, and stern in the main story that this was like a gap moe i'm not complaining though i mean ig there was a teaser of it towards the end of the first book's extra~ i rated this five (5) stars bc i enjoyed the read, it was pretty fun and ig the ending was cute too <3 but i have a lot of questions tarjel ??? like is he just gone ??? also if tarjel didnt mention anything abt yuri (uriel), herve would've agreed to doing it with him ???? i mean ig herve and vadis weren't official yet but still that made me kind if :0 but i'm glad they officially got together ^^ i love how ald calls herve "father-in-law" pls they're so adorable ㅠㅠ i absolutely adore yuri pls my ball of sunshine, hes so precious back to the main couple, if we think abt it the pace of their relationship was so slow since they've already been together (not official) for three (3) years :O thats so long lol and they only progressed bc of this incident jshdhhd the plot for this spin-off was quite simple and short than the main story, but i still liked it !! there were vague and unanswered parts but it was still enjoyable :D i wish we could've seen more of them after officially being together bc everything happened so fast and it just ended abruptly without an extra but i was still quite satisfied with it ^^ the author's art style got better as well, i feel like the characters' features got more defined they're all so pretty pls, i cant help but appreciate even tarjel's visuals also i wanted to see more of prince mandeek, i was expecting him to have an appearance and also have some progress with sheena (the teacher on the first book) but ig bc the plot focused more on the conflict and it was also quite short that the author didnt have the time to include them :< but overall i still had fun reading this ^^ this was a good read !!

Re-season

Complete | morak | 2017 released

➷ plot: ★★★☆☆ ➷ characters: ★★★☆☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★☆☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★☆☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★☆☆ ※ i must admit they're so adorable ㅠㅠ i would've rated this 5 stars if it weren't for the dubcon/rape (technically it was) like i wish the author made atleast 5-8 chapters so that we could get a bit of development rather than giving us a freaking rape scene ig i'm happy for them since maru wasn't traumatized or anything but still that was so not it :( though they looked like they're doing well in the main book (k's secret) so i'm happy for them :> maru is the cutest babie pls ㅠㅠ very precious i love him <33 also i never expected for yohan to do that (from my first impression of him in the first chapter) since he looked like a really nice guy, i mean he was still really nice and quite the shy guy but for him to take advantage of maru is a big red flag :< but other than that ig i kind of liked it ?? the present them (in the main story) is what i liked since they look happy and i'll just forget that this ever existed lol joohan is such a fun character ^^ their friendship is so wholesome ❣️ the art style here is much better than the few first chapters of k's secret if i'm being honest :)) i liked this art style its adorable and pretty

Kemono Asobi

Complete | mochino kome | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★☆☆ ➷ characters: ★★★☆☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★☆☆☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★☆☆ ※ i really tried to like this since the rating was 9.0 which was unexpected for me since i've read the prequel before :0 i actually avoided reading this bc i didn't like masaki at the prequel, he was a blackmailing abusive rapist which is why it was so hard for me to see him in a different light D: he seemed more nice in here and ig tsubaki helped him change as well ?? but the thing is we never got to see him convey his feelings for him :( like ik its obvious hes doing those kind things bc he prolly caught feelings for tsubasa, but i wanted to see more communication between couple since that's how i get connected with the characters :> i was surprised with the stalker twist, i didn't expect tsubasa to be the stalking type, he wasn't your typical toxic stalker but idk that was kind of interesting :] the plot was okay ig ?? but it wasn't really my cup of tea :)) ppl said that potn resembles this, which i can agree on but the thing with seungho is that now hes finally showing more affection, he also conveyed his feelings for nakyum, and we can really see that slowly hes changing ^^ well ig thats bc potn is still ongoing, but if this was a bit longer i think this would've had more potential <33 i also wanted to see masaki's birthday celebration with his family but the extras were quite adorable ♡ esp the fact that tsubasa is also getting along with his family ^^ overall it was okay, i didn't hate nor like it :> i wish it could've been longer so that we could've seen more development and connection between them ^^ the art style's very pretty though this was an okay read !! ^^

Soujou Fly Again

Complete | Munaita | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★☆☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★☆ ※ this was good but the end was kind of unsatisfying ㅠㅠ i wanted to see more of them :< ik we got extras but i wanted to see more of them like with what we got with the first couple in the main story >< even a time skip would do :(( but again it was good ^^ it was your typical unrequited love with your bsf and then suddenly someone new and young will show up lol but i liked it i think they were cute :> though i didn't feel much connection since there weren't a lot of scenes after they were already together :)) but i do think the pacing of their development was pretty good, it was quite slow and natural ^^ gaku is the type of character that's a blur to me ?? like after reading this i feel like i still don't know his full story and he just feels like a stranger to me ??? that's why i didn't get that much attached to them, though i love kiki, i've loved him since the first book <33 i was actually expecting this spin-off to be his story with the other pilot, wataru the one called "eagle" :> so i was surprised there was a new guy ^^ but ig its a refreshing choice :)) i'm glad i also got to see some bits and pieces of daiki and rihito ♡ they're still the same adorable and inlove couple pls >< esp the fact that this is already years after they first were together i love it overall it was good, though it might be kind of bland bc we didn't get much moments of them after being together but the last panel of the extra was so wholesome <33 my only wish is that we got to see more of them so that i could feel more connected and attached to them~ but yea it was good, the art style is pretty too this was an okay read !!
