nini's manga / #mechanic(3)

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was pretty good !! i didn't expect much from this bc of the low rating but it was actually pretty sweet and adorable <3 i've read some pilot/airplane related bl but i haven't read a pilot x mechanic pair up so this was new and refreshing~ this was kind of like an enemies to lovers trope though the twist is that rihito has liked daiki for a very long time ^^ which i actually felt or had a hint of it hehe >< i kind of expected for rihito to have some kind of feelings for daiki even before they talked on the first scene and my guess was right the plot was quite simple, light, and it also had some humor which i liked <33 the development of the two had a good pace :> it felt natural and in the manga's timeline, it probably took months since they kept having different schedules and they were both busy so i think the pacing was pretty good :)) i also felt their connection though i wanted to see more of them~ but the extras were so adorable and wholesome so i'm pretty satisfied ❣️ i'm also glad that there weren't any unnecessary drama and that daiki was an understanding person that he let rihito go since he knows that it was his dream >< we could see how both of them matured and grew so i really liked that ^^ esp the time skip pls i loved that ending scene ㅠㅠ their friends were also pretty fun to read and they also look supportive esp with kiki, hes very open with his sexuality and the team are fine with it so i liked their friendship too <33 overall it was a nice read ^^ i felt quite attached to the characters the extras had them wearing couple rings pls it was so cute (╥﹏╥) also the extra quite adorable too though i just skimmed through it since i'm not really into multiple stories when i'm reading one book :> the art style was pretty as well this was a good read !!

➷ 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 !!

this was really good !!! i've never encountered this type of scenario or trope wherein they were previously together (as a punishment game) and then they got reunited ^^ its a really refreshing concept and i really love their dynamic as well >< i like the way the author told the story, they mixed in the couple's past and switched povs in between~ i like how the plot was light but it also had depth since there was an unresolved problem between the two :> i love the mutual pining and i love how supportive their friends are !! i'm glad that hase learned from his mistake and fought for their relationship :)) i really felt their emotions esp when nadaguchi cried PLEASE i was quite emotional too ㅠㅠ i love the whole confession and the line "this will be my last lie" ugh it just fits together so well <33 overall i really enjoyed this one ^^ it had the right amount of pain and fluff i felt the genuineness from both sides and the extras were so adorable and wholesome (╥﹏╥) there wasn't any annoying conflict and the pacing was just right :DD i wish we got to see more of them but tbh i was very satisfied with how it ended esp with the cute extras ^^ the art style is so pretty !! this was a great and wholesome read !!
