Complete | Haida Nanako | 2000 released

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was so cute !! the plot was quite simple but everything went well and i really liked this flow !! <3 ngl there were a lot of secondhand embarrassments but i still had fun reading ^^ i really thought that taiyo is the one who's going to make advances/confess to takato but the plot surprised me hhshshd i love it though >< it was so smooth and it just fit well :D i also just find the two of them adorable :(( their pairing is so cute ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚ both of them are like puppies but takato is more like a wolf ^^ i thought hajime was jealous at first since he got really mad at taiyo, but ig he just really cares for takato and of course it all makes sense when takato explains his trauma :> i love the couple, i'm actually pretty satisfied with how it ended esp when they both exchanged ilys to each other i love it >< we also got to see how they got closer by exposing their vulnerable sides to each other and they also talked about their feelings which deepen their relationship even more ㅠㅠ even though it had a light and fun plot, it also had some depth into it which i really liked !! overall i really had fun reading this <3 the art style is amazing as well it was also my first time reading about this type of pairing where they're both dancers~ i mean ig idol plots are similar but this is a first for like only dancing hehe <33 this was a great read !!

Indulged in Your Light

Complete | yu chi jin ze | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this is one of the best manhuas i've read !! i'm obsessed with this dynamic >< its so unique and interesting ^^ i love the healthy competition they have with each other <3 the plot was pretty simple but it had some realistic and proper conflicts ^^ i love that shu yun's dad had a quick character development and that the conflicts present in this story wasn't annoying at all and they were resolved easily~ i love how supportive tong yang's grandpa with his relationship >< its unfortunate that he died but at least he lived a good life and hes not in pain anymore :(( i also love the wholesome relationship tong yang has with his brother >< they might not be from the same mother but they still love and care each other <33 i'm also glad that as the years went by, his father also got to appreciate and be proud of him when they saw him on tv (╥﹏╥) i love how the author gave everyone a character development (except for lan du lol jshsjjsd but i'm glad he's out of the picture now and hopefully hes moved on already) i love the wholesome relationship shu yun and tong yang have~ you can really feel the connection and how both of them grew feelings for each other ♡ they were both clueless and shy towards one another which caused misunderstandings but after being together, they were so fluffy and adorable >< though i wish we got to see more of their sweet/fluffy scenes but they're mostly cute and fluffy and i understand that there aren't any visible kissing or whatsoever bc this is a manhua :> but i'm glad that the author gave us a 9-year time skip which gave me butterflies bc i just love seeing the growth and maturity they now have ㅠㅠ esp with them finally living together waaa >< tong yang's brother is also grown up now and i'm proud of him too i also love how the author showed some backstory behind the side couple ^^ you you is such a great friend i'm glad that he's always there to support and take care of shu yun (´ω`) he is indeed like a mother to him~ overall this was such a wholesome and adorable read <33 i immediately got hooked bc i've never had this type of pairing before and i really like how healthy their relationship is esp with them being competitors of each other ^^ all the characters are lovable and fun to read and again i like that each one of them had some character development :> the ending was so sweet and heartwarming ♡ plus the side stories were adorable, we got to see a glimpse of their domesticity >< (wish we got to see moe though ackk) the art style is very pretty too it has a warm vibe and i just love how gentle and gorgeous it is ❣️ this was a literal hidden gem bc why did i only encounter this story now !! it's amazing and definitely a reread material

Dancing Colors

Complete | furukawa tasuku | 2014 released

this was pretty good and unique esp with pole dancing as the center of its plot, but i think it was a bit confusing ^^ i had to reread some parts a couple of times for me to fully understand but tbh there's still some parts that are a bit confusing but it was still a pretty good read !! the plot was very deep and quite dark though we didn't really get to see an in-depth explanation of both their pasts esp kou's father but it gave the story a bittersweet feel :> i also love how pole dancing was portrayed as art and how passionate the MCs are abt it :)) i think their development was quite fast ?? i understand why kou and nagisa fell for each other but there just wasn't much connection for me so yeaaa~ but i still found them sweet and i'm happy that they spread their wings and go on a larger stage <33 i also love their colleagues, they're so fun and nice esp their boss :D overall this was a pretty deep one~ i really wanted to give it 5 stars bc of how unique and interesting the story is, but i just needed more connection from them also i wanted more explanation and stuff hehe :> the art style is very pretty though !! this was a good read !!
