Complete | Megumi Kitano, 北野仁 | 2000 released

i finally got to reread this masterpiece >< gosh i'm really inlove with the plot and of course the couple tbh sex friends to lovers isn't really my cup of tea but the consent was so sexc and the way you can really feel and see how their feelings grew for each other and how both of them slowly changed (for the better) bc of each other's influence <33 it had the right amount of angst and fluff (+ domesticity)~ i also love how supportive yuuto's family is, esp his mom pls she's the best girl !! i'm also glad that sora's friends were very accepting and supportive as well (´ω`) i just love all of them :(( yuuto's very precious and i'm glad that he finally has sora >< i'm glad for sora too bc yuuto helped him to get through his painful past with baseball :< he even changed his hair color and started to become more responsible by job hunting ㅠㅠ i just love relationships where you can really see the growth of each individual bc that means the relationship you have is healthy and is making you into a better person :')) i also wanted to see more of them esp after they started a new life together >< but i was very satisfied with seeing them happy so idk what else to say bc i'm just really obsessed with this one !! i love them so so much >< i'm also so obsessed with the art style !! all of them are so gorgeous this was such a great reread !! (there was a time that i got lazy with giving reviews so hehe i finally got to reread this masterpiece and gave my review bc this deserves it !! ❣️) i will for sure read this again in the future !! also recommending

Shucchou Host Nyu Boy

Complete | SHINOU Ryo,Shinou Ryo | 2018 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★☆☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★☆ ※ this was good :> it had a light plot but there were still some serious topics and depth in it !! though the reason i rated it 4 stars is bc it wasn't really my cup of tea (´~`;) i felt like the pacing was too fast esp on kei's side :/ i didn't feel their connection and feelings for each other bc everything happened so quickly ?? naru was just opening up abt his past and troubles then suddenly kei's inlove with him ?? but overall there wasn't any conflict abt the couple themselves ^^ their interactions were so funny and adorable at the same time so i'm glad that both of them finally got to experience love and being loved i also love how supportive kei's boss is omg i didn't expect him to be accepting so easily~ there weren't any unnecessary drama and it was very comedic all throughout so even though it wasn't my cup of tea, i still enjoyed the read :D it ended in a wholesome way too !! and the art style looks fire this was a good 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 !!

i love this so much omg ☆ REREAD [210228]: omfg i love this so much ㅠㅠ i already said that on my previous review but wow i've read this so many times already but it never gets old it still hits me everytime >< the plot is not your typical mafia boss who's a red flag that r words the MC, dean is such a green flag and he also deals with trauma and guilt~ he never wanted to be a part of that industry and i think his backstory was really interesting as well as craig's backstory ^^ i love the concept of them finding salvation in each other :(( it's such a beautiful and heartwarming concept ㅠㅠ craig is a ray of sunshine (´ω`) he's such a sweet and understanding person :< you can really see how much he loves and cares for dean >< he really laid out his life just to protect him and even with all the dangers, he still chose to stay and be with him :'< i'm not crying, you are !! their development was probably a tiny bit fast in the beginning but bc of how the author wrote it, you can still feel how their feelings grew deeper and how connected and inlove they are with each other ♡ i love the sweet and funny inner monologues and dialogues they say to each other ^^ overall this was such an amazing read ㅠㅠ it's a masterpiece !! i will never get tired of reading this >< they're my comfort couple :(( all the characters were fun and likable esp nicolas ^^ he's such a funny guy he brings light to the plot :> i still have a lot to say but that's for yall to read hehe ( ´~`) this was such a worth reread <3 would definitely recommended !!
