➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ (non-romantic) ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ (non-romantic) ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was amazing !!! i read this even though it wasnt the bl version yet bc i really love true crime and mystery thriller themed plots this was so unique esp bc of asako's stigmata, i've never ready anything like that before which is why i was so amazed ❣️ each case was so intriguing and i love how nothing overlaps !! the characters are very lovable as well <33 i love kuroiwa's emotionless yet caring personality >< i'm excited to see how their love will develop in the sequel ^^ i also love their female colleague <3 shes so gorgeous and comedic in a way ^^ tbh i have a lot more to say, but i'm just speechless rn at how good this was the cases were simple yet sophisticated esp the execution of the scenes paired with the author's amazing art style we also got to see a bit of asako's past which tells me that we'll probably see more of it in the sequel :> i feel like there will be angst but i'm here for it overall i really enjoyed this one !! i was so hooked to the cases ^^ i'm immediately reading the sequel after leaving this review ヾ(^-^)ノ ♡ i dont have anything else to say bc this was just amazing i love everything about this <33 i'll probably find more similar works like this one :D this was such a worth it read <33

Stigmata - Aikon

Complete | TAKAHASHI Hidebu | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ ok so i didnt expect the plot to stick to solving one case for the entirety of it, but its ok i still really liked it !! i just wished we could see more cases afterwards bc the first volume was so interesting hehe <33 i think we could already see some slight developments of the couple's feelings from the first book and their feelings grew more in here which is nice ^^ i just wished we could see more of them bc they only got together towards the end >< but nonetheless, i was still very satisfied bc the extras gave us some sweet and wholesome moments ♡ the pace and development was nice :D i could really see how they both cared for each other, esp kuroiwa, even though hes emotionless most of the time we can really see how much he cares for asako the author did a really great job at making everyone suspicious, i really thought that nishi was the one who killed mari but to our surprise there was a much deeper plot and it all made sense in the end which felt so satisfying the plot and art style are just amazing <3 i dont really have anything else to say ~ even though i already knew the plot twists and stuff, this is still a book that i would gladly reread bc i really enjoyed every single bit of it ^^ i wish there was more stories like this, not only is it thrilling but it's also sweet bc of the romance >< i wanted to see more of them as an established couple but the extras were able to satisfy me hehe so i'm fine overall i really really enjoyed this !!! would recommend this to true crime enthusiasts ~ another worth it read i loved it a lot

Complete | TOKORO Kemeko | 2017 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was a new one for me, the plot was quite interesting yet simple at the same time ^^ mimori's eyes look beautiful idk why he got bullied pls :< i'm glad that he finally gets to be appreciated and loved by tsukimiya <33 i think this deserves a higher rating bc it wasnt that bad, it actually had a cute and fun plot :> i'm sad that tsukimiya didnt get to be in good terms with his brother, but ig they still had some closure so i was still satisfied~ that part of the plot is kind of overused but i think it was still good though :D mimori and tsukimiya's dynamic is just adorable >< a cat-like babie plus a dog-like persona i love it (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ ू) i wish we got to see more of them after being officially together, but it was still a cute end ^^ mimori's brothers are so cute and supportive :> i just wish we got to see them tell his family about them hehe :) but overall i actually enjoyed this ^^ i thought it was gonna boring since the comments/reviews said so, but it was my cup of tea hihi i just like soft and fluffy pairings like this <3 i also liked the art style, its pretty esp mimori's chibis so freaking adorable this was a good read !!

➷ 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 ❣️

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ lemme just say i want to cry bc the extra is nowhere to be found i really want to read what happens after pls ㅠㅠ but anyway this was a great sequel~ this really showed how much their relationship got stronger and we actually got to see hara's destined person ^^ but of course his destiny is kaoru and kaoru only though the manager was so pretty, wish i can be her destiny instead jkjk the first few chapters were so freaking fluffy and cute ㅠㅠ i'm also happy we got to see arako ^^ he was like a love counselor for them lol thanks for talking to the both of them jsjsjd kaoru's brother is so cute the way he teases and supports kaoru is just adorable :( also the twins just love kaoru to bits ackkk i love hara thats it periodt jk but fr he always reassures kaoru :( i understand why kaoru didnt want to cut the string, but still that was kind of pessimistic of him jdjsjdj and thats why i love hara hes such a nice person pls i could write an entire essay just for him i love how he always checks up on kaoru and hes not afraid to tell the manager that they were actually lovers ╥﹏╥ my only wish is to see the extra pls ㅠㅠ the last chapter was so adorable of course but knowing the fact that this has an extra and i cant find it, hurts but overall it ended so beautifully so i'm still satisfied hehe ^^ hopefully i could find the extras though~ i really enjoyed this series !! from the main story to the spin-off plus its sequel <3 it was all good ♡ i'm happy that kaoru has finally found his own destiny~ i love the both of them so much :< get married already grrr anyway this had me crying a tiny bit bc of the last part jdjdhjd but i did have an inkling that hara wouldn't give up that easily if kaoru didnt come hehe ^^ again the art style is pretty hihi this was a great read !!

Gorani Jeon

Complete | Chychy | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★☆☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ ik my rating is not in line with my overall rating but i have to say this was pretty cute and i just wanted to give it 5 stars hehe ^^ though the plot was meh and nothing made much sense but it was still pretty cute <33 ran is such a precious ML and bau is an adorable MC >< their baby is so freaking adorable i just had to give it a perfect rating ㅠㅠ but if i'm being technical this wasn't the best :> but it was still okay :)) i think the art carried it since if it didn't have a good art style i prolly would've ditched reading it lol (´~`;) i solely read this bc there was a baby and i'm a real sucker for mpreg esp when the author lets us see the baby D': so yea i just had to ㅠㅠ anyway i don't really have a lot to say abt this since the plot was very light, straightforward, and comedic ^^ the pacing was fast as well since it only had a few chapters, but i must say for 20 chapters i think it was actually better than i thought :)) the art style's gorgeous the mountain and tiger gods were adorable i liked them too ♡ there weren't much drama except for the first part, but it was solved immediately and it wasn't annoying so props for that ~ this was an adorable and okay read !!

Matsuyoi no Oni

Complete | Fumi tsuyuhisa | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ i had a hard time rating this bc i was thinking to myself that if this story had a different art style i think i wouldn't like it as much jsjkdjsj i mean it was good, but i think the plot was still lacking esp the ending :> i wanted to see more of their development since they didn't really get to express their feelings properly to each other ^^ i think the plot was unique i just wished there was more to it hehe~ i didn't understand much how minoru's soul suddenly ended up with tomoe the whole scene that led up to there was kind of confusing for me but maybe that's also just my reading comprehension anyway about the couple, i think they ended up being cute esp at how clingy maru became >< their didn't feel toxic at all since maru didn't force maru into it since minoru himself was the one who made the deal ^^ though maru did lie abt the ways for him to feed lol which makes me think that he was probably already attracted to minoru since the beginning the growth of their feelings felt quite natural so i got attached to them~ also zashiki is an adorable babie <33 overall i think this was a good one just a little bit lacking but i still enjoyed it !! i'm absolutely obsessed with the art style pls literally one of the bests out there >< i liked their dynamic too ^^ they have humor and cuteness <33 i love maru's duality when it comes to minoru :D he's like a babie following him but when he gets protective he suddenly becomes intimidating and scary i love him ❣️ he always complains but he still follows maru >< i also like his dog form it's very unique looking~ i wish we got to see more of minoru with maru in dog form hehe :)) anyway this was a good read !!

Call Me Before Dawn

Ongoing | | 2000 released

☆ since this was a very short one i'll just give my thoughts hehe ^^ i put it in my diamond tag bc this is a hidden gem <33 the plot is very interesting and unique !! i've never seen a crossover between agents with magical armors and half-breed agents :> for 4 chapters, it was definitely jam packed ^^ though there were still a ton of questions left behind, i think that's normal since you can't really put everything in 4 chapters :)) i still liked it a lot though ♡ the translation was quite confusing towards the end but i'm not complaining or anything its just that a better translation would've conveyed the story better since there were confusing dialogues~ overall this was really good for a short manhua <33 the plot had a lot in it and the ending was cute i'm curious if the black haired guy (idk how to write their names ) has aged since he already met the half-breed agent when he was little, its probably just the art style but he looks the same to me lol but anyway its cute and i liked the story ♡ i for sure would've loved a longer version of this too~ the art style is very pretty as well this was a short but great read !!

Itoshiki Ningyo

Ongoing | Hijiki | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★☆ ※ i really wanted to rate this 5 stars but the plot was a bit predictable like it was your typical kidnapping the MC while threatening him and suddenly the ML will save him something like that :> also i just find the scene where mikagi brings umi to azuma very uncomfortable bc that was like attempted forced rape lol but as the story went on their development got better and mikagi genuinely feel for umi <3 i also love the connection they have esp with their own personal "flaws" that they now see as their reason to live >< this is probably one of my faves when it comes to the ending bc i really felt the emotions on the last panels for chapter 5 ♡ it had a heartwarming end >< umi is such a precious babie <33 i will protect him with all my life pls >< his mermaid mark didn't even look that bad he didn't deserve the hate and pain :(( i love how mikagi constantly compliments him and says that hes very cute & pretty ㅠㅠ mikagi is a good ML though the first part (the scene i mentioned above) was really unnecessary but he turned into a good ML so yea i ended up liking him <33 azuma seems like a nice person too for helping them ^^ nishiki and kuro are the cutest >< i love their contrasting personalities~ they're such good guardians, very cute & funny too overall this was good ^^ i liked the unique set-up since i haven't read that much mermaid themed bl esp a mermaid paired with a shaman (i think thats what mikagi is ??) their pairing was very interesting and they ended up being a wholesome and adorable couple the pacing was a bit fast for me but i still felt their connection and how their feelings grew so i still liked it ❣️ the conflict was meh, pretty overused concept but everything ended well and justice was served so i'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out <33 i really wish umi being pregnant was real though >< but they're still pretty adorable so its fine hehe~ i'm glad that they now can happily live far from the main village (not that far) i really love how mikagi's tattoo turned out !! its so pretty esp with nishiki and kuro at the back pls the art style is pretty in general hehe ❣️ this was a good read !!
