nini's manga / #age gap(168)

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was so cute ^^ i really liked the unique and funny concept of them being detectives as well as being animal detectives >< the way they bring home a pet from the cases they handle is so adorable :> fumi and rou's dynamic is one of my faves bc they're both adorable and funny ♡ at first, i thought they were already an established couple bc of the advances rou did at the first chapter lol i also didn't expect the age gap between them though there wasn't a clear age for fumi (i think) but it is implied that hes a lot older than rou :)) i'm not bothered though since fumi never groomed rou~ he was even the one who made a deal to wait until rou was an adult ^^ i just wish the development between them was shown more bc it felt like it happened so quickly :> but overall it was still very cute and i'm glad that they got together all the characters esp the adorable pets were so lovable and fun to read <33 the art style is so so pretty this was a good read !!

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was pretty cute ^^ i didn't expect it to be fluffy and adorable >< the flow was just calm, i didn't feel any annoyance at the little conflicts though i did feel multiple secondhand embarrassments for tokita lol i just feel like he was suddenly being so desperate but ig it worked out at the end~ the plot was pretty simple though i did find their set-up quite unique with kayama being a closeted gay who keeps being arranged in a matchmaking system and an outgoing frivolous puppy tokita :D i like their dynamic ^^ i think i just wanted a bit more from the plot bc it was a little bit bland but i did feel their connection i just felt like it was a bit too fast for me :)) the 2nd story (oneshot) was okay, for a oneshot it was pretty interesting too so i enjoyed it ^^ the extras are adorable too <3 tokita is such a handful puppy but i just love their tandem >< esp with kayama's taste for fashion pls its so funny they're pretty cute together, i just wish there were more scenes with them being domestic and stuff (i mean there were i just wished there was more~) ❣️ overall this was pretty fun :> i totally think this deserves a higher rating !! this author's works are always filled with humour with couple dynamics that i love ^^ there wasn't any unnecessary drama and they were mostly fluffy, funny, and adorable ♡ the ending was wholesome >< i just wished we got to see more dialogues/conversation after they hugged but i mean i think that scene cleared up all the doubts in tokita's head <3 the art style is gorgeous i love clean, sharp, and mature looking men ( ´~｀) this was a good read !!

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ i literally i wanna scream right now ㅠㅠ this was so freaking good pls !!!! i've never encountered this type of writing style before, the author really centered it on hayama's pov and we saw his inner monologues for most of the story :> the plot was simple yet so unique and sophisticated ♡ it was quite straightforward in a way with how the story progressed ^^ the freaking slow burn got me on edge i love it >< we never got to see them kiss or do anything other than holding hands but why did it give me so many butterflies in my stomach ㅠㅠ i've never felt this warm in a long time :(( their relationship is so wholesome and precious i love them i have a lot to say abt them pls :'D hayama is a literal angel >< hes so nice !! like out of all the MC's i've read, he never pushed his feelings for kinoshita~ he was really genuine when he comforted him and he never even thought of anything dirty when he stayed at kinoshita's place <3 hes such a wholesome person, i'm so happy he got together with kinoshita (╥﹏╥) they deserve each other :(( as for kinoshita, i love him too !! a very mature yet sweet man ♡ hes really kind too >< they're both angels (´ω`) he never had any prejudice against hayama and he only apologized when hayama confessed bc he thought that he didn't deserve to be with him ㅠㅠ i'm so happy that his boss removed some of the work off of him and he got to spend his holidays with hayama on taiwan ( ´~｀) i'm happy that the both of them will be each other's source of happiness ^^ even though the story didn't show much romantic scenes i could still feel their strong connection and feelings for each other i also love hayama's friends :(( they're so supportive and adorable too !! really glad hayama got to move out from his parents' house too ^^ his mother seems like a sweet person, but his dad..... moving on~ i love the domesticity they have >< the couple pajamas at the end pls :'> also the silent mutual pining anyway i need to sum up everything bc i think i said a lot already lol but overall this is a masterpiece fr ㅠㅠ i never expected it to be this good when i first saw it >< the pacing and development is so nice and i really got immersed into reading it~ i really felt their emotions too ❣️ idk what else to say but this is just perfect ♡ very fluffy and wholesome <3 the art style might not be for everyone but i like it !! this was such a worth it read it could be a good recommendation for bl starters ^^

☆ 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 !!

➷ 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 !!

❀ i'm crying i can't believe this ended already ㅠㅠ i'll probably reread this for the nth time bc they're one of my comfort couples :(( i'm so happy with that adorable ending pls ♡

✰ 4.5/5 omg finally something quite wholesome from this author jsjsjjdjdj ㅠㅠ i think i read every book they did and if i'm being honest most of them were not for me :'< but i did like the vampire one, its kind of my guilty pleasure hehe anyway back to this book, the plot was fine, its your typical childhood friends trope but ig with a twist with the stalker involved but tbh that part wasn't needed..... the situation was taken lightly but i mean u do u lol but yea it felt quite lackluster BUT i gave it five stars because i think the couple themselves were quite cute and wholesome ^^ i finally got some green flags from this author some people are saying that mizuki was weird for liking hiro at a young but i think that's pretty normal ??? i mean you can't really control one's feelings, and i'm sure he liked him bc of how clingy hiro was to him and not bc of sexual desires :> this is the reason i call him a green flag bc when he reached a certain age where he got urges/desires, he distanced himself from hiro knowing their age gap and stuff so i applaud him for that~ hiro wasn't an annoying character, i think he's adorable though the secondhand embarrassment i felt when mizuki caught him relieving himself was so painful ㅠㅠ i think their dynamic is fine ??? its my "in the middle" dynamic lol hshhshdh i love mizuki's brother's reaction when he knew abt them he just shrugged and i think he's supportive or idk he's kind of neutral but i'm glad he still cares for hiro hehe :)) overall their relationship was pretty healthy and the extras were so adorable >< i'm also glad that he got some closure with the stalker even though they didn't press charges~ i love how supportive hiro's coworker with their relationship too hihi she's so cute ^^ tbh the art was the redeeming factor for most of this author's work but i genuinely liked this one and of course i'm still obsessed with their art style the pacing felt okay since both of them already had feelings for each other ^^ this was a good read !!

this was so funny and adorable ^^ i love their dynamic pls !! this type of plot wouldn't have been my cup of tea, but it was just too funny and i just really liked the couple so i gave it 5 stars~ tbh the plot isn't the best and it's quite unique bc of how it was centered in the MC's stomach problems but they turned into a wholesome couple so i loved it <3 i love how they are each other's stomach medicine >< i love kunihiko's character, like he's the type of character that i really love to read bc i like smart, cold, and cool characters hehe >< as for senri, he's such a babie for a 20 year old lol i love his puppy and clingy personality though ^^ i love how he turns into this serious and cool person wherever he's on his model shoot and then another 180 degree switch when he's with kunihiko >< i will admit the pacing was a bit fast but i think they were just so funny and cute that i instantly fell in love with them <3 idk what else to say but they're just so cute ㅠㅠ their friends and senri's manager are so supportive which is just adorable >< also the plot had some depth bc of the conflict with kunihiko's parents which i'm glad was solved/talked about~ overall, this was a light comedic read ^^ very funny and fluffy at the same time <3 i love how they realistically prepared before putting it in hehe ^^ i love how okuda waku can make psychological and comedic mangas pls i love their works <33 esp their art style waaaaa *chef's kiss* this was a good and funny read !!
