Lauvil's manga / #Multiple Stories(54)

Though one-shot collections always lack a bit of depth, it was still a pretty good read. 1st story was my favourite, though! Full review: Ch. 1: Cute short guy x cool tall beauty. This was soooo cute. I love it when a manga challenges gender stereotypes. We stan a sensitive man! Ch. 2 Meh. The guy was a jerk. Ch. 3 Cute story. Not the most original plot, but a good read nonetheless.

Crappy read. Ch. 0: Boring. Ch. 1: Wait, what? You're telling me you'd rather have that good-for-nothing playboy senpai, than your devoted childhood friend?? (Well he turned out to be a rapist, so maybe you should just skip both guys...) I totally thought this story would be about her realizing her feelings for her childhood friend. I was fooled. O.o I didn't like any of the characters, though. So, I guess it didn't really matter who she ended up with. Ch. 2-4: So over-the-top...

I didn't really like this one. Most of the female characters were stupid and their most unique characteristics were of the negative kind. None of the stories really stuck out to me or caught my interest. More like, they often made me cringe. Can't recommend. Full review (contains spoilers): Ch. 1: The FL is a lier, bragger and a coward. I didn't like her. The story was pretty cringe. Ch. 2: This one was okay. The ML was a real bastard, but at least the FL realized that. They didn't get a definite happy ending, but that actually makes it more realistic and satisfying to read imo. Ch. 3: Though I didn't hate it, I didn't like it either. It was really disappointing that the author had to make the cool guy, who also had a sensitive and feminine side, not only gay but also obsessive and a bit mental. Like, come on. Could we get some more diversity on the gender spectrum? Making him gay was such a cheap trick imo. Ch. 4: I mean, good for them that they discovered a roleplay/cosplay fetish, but seriously guys. JUST FUCKING TALK INSTEAD! Communication, communication, communication. That's what makes a relationship work, so DO IT! What the FL did was really low and her husband foregave her way too quickly. It was seriously stupid.

First story: I liked this one. The drama was a bit cliché and the story was kinda short (but that's to be expected of a short story). Daisuke was such a sweetheart, though (and such a hunk). It was really cute! Second story: Well, that escalated quickly. It was still cute, though.

Overall a cute story. Nothing revolutionary, but good nonetheless.

Decent read. Both stories were cute and funny. Not the most original or deep plot, though.

Loved it! Short and cute, and both female leads where strong and awsome! I especially loved the first story. Wish there was more of it!

All stories were short and cute, and the FL's were all strong and unique. I like!

Ch. 1: This story was so beautiful! I loved it! Despite being just a one-shot it managed to touch on sensitive topics and portray complex emotions and issues. I can't help but wish it was more than a one shot, but on the other hand part of the story's beauty was how it had an open ending. Iori had such a determined expression in her eyes, though and the closing sentence was hopeful. So, I like to imagine the happy ending they'll both have when they've overcome their struggles. Ch. 2: I had a lot of trouble understanding this story. The writing was really convoluted and the layout and character designs didn't help either. Most of the time I was just trying to understand who was who, who said what, and who and what they were talking about... Also, I don't mind open endings, but this one seemed really abrupt... Ch. 3: Ah... I just don't like that they are family, even if they aren't related by blood. Can't deny they were sexy together, though. Ch. 4: Continuation from chapter 3 and the incesteous/pedo vibes just keep growing... It's just weird that he's so much older than her, has seen her grow up and is a family member... There are even hints that he was in love with her before he left home. She was 13/14 y.o back then... Also the ending was kinda weird. I don't understand why the author decided to take the story in that direction and then end it there. Kinda random... Ch. 5: It was cute. Really nice depiction of how a person can be depressed but still look happy on the outside.

1st story: Amatatsu is hit in the head by a ball and when he comes to, the guy he hates most - his rival, Sen - and him are in the middle of doing it. Apparently he's woken up in a parallel world and here he and Sen are a couple. At first he's sceptical, but spending time with parallel Sen, opens his heart to the idea, and he falls in love. However, when he wakes up the next morning he's back in the infirmary and it all appeared to be dream... Except for the fact that Sen IS in fact in love with him in this world too, and the two get together. Short and sweet. 2nd story: Guy with a voice fetish x shy guy with a beautiful voice. He has a trauma though, about being teased about his low voice and pretty face don't match, and thus wears a mask and refuses to speak. Though, of course, the seme manages to pierce his armor and the two fell in love. It was short but very cute. My only complaint is about the ending. The trope of "you're the only one who knows the real me" is cute and all, but not very healthy. I would've liked it better if the uke had expressed a desire to slowly improve his condition, rather than give up just because the seme accepts him. 3rd story: My two favourite character designs: Always-closed-eyes-kun x Megane-kun! And they're childhood friends. Megane-kun thinks he's in love with a girl from the student council, but turns out he was actually in love with his best friend. Meanwhile, squinty-eyes-kun is trying to help his friend get with aforementioned girl, only to realise in the process that he was in love with him too. Finally the two admit their feelings for each other and... Happy end! Short and cute, even if a bit clichéd. 4th story: Story about a perverted, chubby-chaser rapist, forcing himself on scary-looking, but apparently weak-willed chubby. Nothing about this story was cute. The seme was rude, insensitive, selfish and forceful. Thank god it was so short, and didn't end with the two of them being in love (though it was implied that it might happen in the future, as per the trope). Sigh... Overall I liked the manga. All stories (except for the last one) were really cute.
