Hana Ni Kuchizuke
i must admit this was a pretty cute one ^^ i usually don't like reading books that have a long series after but i got pretty hooked on them bc of how adorable and sweet they are to each other >< though i rated it 4 stars bc i didn't like the noncon at the start and i didn't like how ikkun just suddenly ripped hana's clothes at the bar and even punched him that other time idk it just didn't sit right with me, but other than that the moments after they finally got together were all wholesome and sweet so i enjoyed it <3 the plot's not my cup of tea but i'm in it for their cute dynamic ^^ i like the crossdressing part and their pairing but its just the first part that threw me off~ anyway i'm looking forward to reading the other books in this series :D this was pretty enjoyable and i also like hana's friends :> they seem pretty nice and funny ^^ i love this pair's dynamic bc they're comedic and i just love seeing 2 opposites be together with each other :)) the art style is pretty too ^^ i love their chibis this was a good read !!
Hana to Ikkun
i'm quite in the middle for this one :/ i love their relationship and how cute they are but the plot just threw me off i don't think the noncon thing (between shouta and ikkun) that happened was necessary for this story, also there were a lot of small conflicts but it wasn't that annoying since they (ikkun and hana) communicate right after so its fine :)) the intense scene between hana and shouta was so good though like i really enjoyed seeing feisty hana claiming his man >< i love how he singlehandedly handled two descendants of a yakuza girlboss things anyway, there were also parts where i feel like the characters change personalities ?? i mean its probably normal irl but idk i just feel like there were parts that didn't make sense to me (why that character is acting that way) overall i still love hana and ikkun's relationship, they're two idiots that are madly inlove with each other <33 i love their humour and how they act like best friends at times ^^ i wish we got to see more dating life since this mostly focused with the MCs being with other characters but its fine i still enjoyed it :> i love their domesticity esp seeing hana wear those cute aprons hehe it fits him so well >< the art's pretty too and as usual i love their chibis esp when hana's angry this was a good read !!
Aoi haru,akaiito
i didn't expect to find this hidden gem waaaa >< this was so good !! the vibe throughout the story was very melancholy and bittersweet i'm glad it had a good ending ^^ i agree with the reviews, this indeed reminded me of romeo and juliet~ their story isn't just about them falling inlove but finding freedom in each other's arms ㅠㅠ they both feel like they didn't have a home but they ended up finding home in each other :(( i wanna cry the plot is so good i think there could've been more improvements here and there but i mean the execution is amazing i love it <33 i wish we got to see more extras after they eloped but i was pretty satisfied at seeing them finally freed from their parents' expectations and living their life how they wanted (╥﹏╥) the development felt pretty quick but its bc mangas are always short but i still felt their deep connection with each other ^^ i didn't expect youhei to become like that, i thought he'd be a good friend but he's actually also like yuuki's father who's pressuring him to become mature and to just focus on studying :< we didn't really get closure with their parents but i'm glad that they at least had some realization towards the end :)) overall this was a very heartfelt read~ this deserves a higher rating pls !! my only wish is to see more domestic and wholesome scenes from them since their romance were filled with a slight of bitterness at the beginning which is why i'm so happy that they finally got the freedom and happiness that they deserve the art style looks old but this is actually my type so i love it this was a great and bittersweet read !!
Ore to Buka no Koi no Saki
its probably been almost a year since i've read the prequel and i must say i did miss them waaa >< i'm so happy this had a sequel (i think there's a 3rd volume too so i can't wait to read that ><) i skimmed through the 1st volume to refresh my memory and from what i remember they're still the same bickering yet adorable couple~ though the plot here had more conflict regarding homophobia and doubts abt the relationship so it wasn't as light as the 1st volume :> some say that they were frustrated at chikashi bc he kept doubting or that he's acting immature but i mean it is his first relationship and having doubts are pretty normal esp when you're still in the early stages of your relationship so i understand why he was acting like that, but yes i do agree that it was a bit frustrating hehe i'm glad tomoaki didn't ever once think of letting him go :(( i'm not happy abt what he did when they fought (slight dubcon) but at least he apologized and he acted more mature afterwards :)) i'm glad that after having the conflict resolved, they communicated more ^^ mr. furuya will forever be the bestest boy >< he's literally their dad and guardian ㅠㅠ he's always ready to give advices to the both of them and you can really see how he treasures them individually and as a couple >< i'm so happy that he's there to guide and help them esp when they're still on their rocky path~ overall this was quite a realistic and wholesome read ^^ this focused more on their conflicts but i still got to see their adorable and domestic moments so i'm satisfied there's a volume 3 so i'm excited to see how much their relationship developed after this <33 the art style is still pretty hehe i love this type of art style this was a great read !!
Ore to Kareshi no Koi no Hate
okay i did not expect a separation arc omfg jwkshsjshd i mean not really separation arc but i just thought the 3rd volume would get back ok the lighter side since volume 2 focused on conflicts but damn i was surprised i mean i really love this, i feel like it had a mix of reality and fiction but what i love the most abt this is that they really gave a proper closure to us >< i'm happy that tomoaki never gave up on chikashi and even went with him to his parents just so that he can finally introduce himself and of course give reassurance <33 it is selfish for chikashi to assume those things but who are we to blame him :< i understand why had all those thoughts bc of the misunderstanding that is quite big so i get why he reacted that way~ i love how mr. furuya and their colleagues are as supportive as ever i just love the reassurances tomoaki gives :(( you can really feel how much he treasures and loves chikashi ㅠㅠ he never once thought of letting him go :< as for chikashi, tbh i don't think we ever saw him fully express his feelings for tomoaki which kind of feels unfair but i mean we can still see how much he loves tomoaki through his actions ^^ but yea that's probably one thing i'd like to add bc i was really waitinh for them to have that conversation and for chisaki to also give tomoaki some reassurance, but i still love him ♡ i'm happy that chikashi finally got to come out properly and even got to introduce the love of his life (╥﹏╥) i'm glad that they finally accepted him and are now in good terms >< overall i love this series icb it already ended :'(( i wanted more extras but i'm very happy and satisfied seeing how happy they are <33 the conflicts were quite annoying i mean conflicts will always be annoying, but i understand why they had those conflicts here so i wasn't that annoyed ^^ i really love their dynamic esp when chikashi becomes very clingy once he's tired :(( pls he's so adorable also i think i didn't see chikashi call tomoaki by a pet name ?? or maybe i just didn't notice it ?? anyway yea i really enjoyed this and the whole series ❣️ the art style is still pretty of course this was a great read !!
Dancing Colors
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 !!
Hatsukoi wo Shosuru Houhou
this was actually pretty good ^^ i didn't expect much bc of the low rating but i do like this author so ik i wouldn't be disappointed and of course they came through i'm not really into this type of plots but i genuinely enjoyed the long unrequited trope and the way they developed feelings :> kazuki is such s green flag pls :(( the way he knew he'd still be hurt by what he's doing but he still stayed and let yuugo do anything he wanted ㅠㅠ tbh i think satoshi really loved yuugo, he wasn't the worst type of ex :)) he always reassured yuugo and even wanted to tell his son about them but then again as for someone who's working to put food in the table i understand why he had to keep it a secret and deny yuugo bc if risks his job its not only him that would be affected but his son too so yea i feel bad that yuugo had to go through that but i also feel the pain for satoshi :(( but i'm glad that they had a good closure and both apologized to each other which is so mature of them <33 i'm also happy that kazuki's unrequited love of 8 years has finally been reciprocated ^^ overall this was a pretty good one !! i really liked kazuki's dialogues ig bc i can somewhat relate to him anyway yea i enjoyed this :> i wish we got to see more of them after being official but i'm satisfied bc they were already being domestic since the beginning hehe ^^ the art style is pretty i love this author's art style :D this was a good read !!
Senpai (Bikke)
this was a cute one ^^ there was a bit of angst but it was mostly fluff and slow burn :> i like slow burns so i enjoyed seeing their feelings bloom for each other >< their relationship is just so pure and adorable~ i'm glad that kou can finally move on and be happy with saki >< misumi seems like a nice guy too, its very unfortunate to lose him but i'm glad kou at least got some closure from the diary :(( misumi's gf wasn't the red flag type and she understood their situation which is so mature of her ^^ overall this was a pretty good one~ its been a long time since i've read something in the middle (vibe wise) just the right amount of angst and wholesome~ i wish we got to see more of their college life and just them dating but i'm pretty satisfied with just seeing them happy so hehe <33 this needs a higher rating bc this had a good plot and the characters were really nice~ the art style's pretty too this was a good read !!
Karera o Meguru Subete
i really think that this was a good one but i just felt everything was going so fast~ they literally just met and then they bumped to each other the next day and suddenly they're a thing and then confession happens and you know what comes after that lol though i still love their relationship, oono really takes care of fuji while fuji is so infatuated of him and he just adores oono ^^ there is this lingering feeling that oono did somehow coerce fuji into this relationship like not really but in a way ?? but oono isn't a bad person !! he's definitely a green flag its just that i had that kind of feeling throughout :> fuji's friends are cute too !! i like how they also got close with oono and they're very supportive of their relationship >< abt fuji's dad, i didn't expect to see him try to change but i'm glad he realized that what he's doing is just eating him away :)) i'm wondering why oono didn't do anything abt fuji's dad, but ig after they started dating fuji didn't have any bruises and stuff anymore so yeaaa (ig the author didn't want to put his dad's abuse on the spotlight and just wanted to focus on the love he has with oono) overall this was pretty cute ^^ some parts felt iffy and i didn't feel that much connection but yea i enjoyed it :> i'm happy to see fuji being loved and that his life is finally going in a much better path <33 i also love that we got to see a bit of time skip :)) the art style's pretty this was a good read !!
