Sugar ❀'s manga / #04-2021(13)

P: Recently transferred to a new school, Sumire meets Toujou, a boy they all call, “The school’s solitary Madonna.” After stepping between a fight with Toujou and some others, he takes a liking to Sumire and they begin to spend their school days together. Although beautiful on the outside, Toujou is surprisingly brusque. Despite not making any effort to interact with others, he’s surprisingly sweet to Sumire, which gets Sumire’s heart thumping. One day, after Toujou’s injured in a fight, he suddenly kisses Sumire…! O: Oml Sumire and Toujou are seriously too cute!! TT They're actually so precious. This was such a wholesome read. It progresses slowly, but gradually gets better.

P: Upon his father's death, Akihito Kuze became a viscount at the age of 10. His smart, handsome young butler Tomoyuki Katsuragi has since managed all affairs pertaining to the viscountcy perfectly. The talented and charismatic Katsuragi is very popular in their social circle; but as Akihito grows older, he becomes colder and more distant by the day - though still as faithful to the Kuze household as he has ever been. O: Interesting plot with drama, complicated. It is a bit confusing and slow, it makes me cry a lot... too bad they contradict each other and are both stubborn. They are both very attractive - especially Katsuragi - he never fails at looking fine af. Giving this manga another shot. I don’t even remember why I put this on hold in the first place. Oml C4 is so emotional TT this is heart wrenching. I swear this is so angsty. Every time I read the next chapter the knife in my heart twists even more. C14 tho TT Oml. C15 bruhhh I thought things were going so well…. but that ending though… AHHHH. I somehow feel like this is a tragedy… I am so tempted to buy the hardcopies and blcds for this. It’s sad how there hasn’t been updates since forever, but I don’t regret reading this masterpiece. It’s seriously underrated (not very popular). The only thing that bothered me was how there was some rape.. This is quite plot heavy and the “action” scenes are perfect - very intimate, not obscene and excessively common. It would make me day if there was one day in the morning that Akihito actually woke up before Tomoyuki to see his sleeping face, since it’s always the other way around. AHHH MY WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED TT <3 Link to general summaries of the licensed not uploaded chapters - https://lenievi.tumblr.com/post/146596646437/yna-summaries-index . Nvm they’re on mangago ^^ These summaries are nothing compared to the actual chapters lol.

P: After being outted by his first love in high school, Juho has been struggling in his romantic endeavors ever since. One evening after a distasteful phone call with a cheating ex, Juho sees someone has been staring at him. Juho recognizes Kang Jaemin, an old high school classmate. Juho and Jaemin briefly catch up on each other's lives when Juho makes a surprising offer for Jaemin to stay the night at his place to which Jaemin agrees. This chance encounter leads Juho and Jaemin to explore a connection they didn't get to have when they were in high school. Perhaps Jaemin's honesty will be enough to give Juho the courage to love and trust someone again. O: The art is so clean. I love the relationship between Juho and Jaemin. They’re both super precious. Fuck Juho’s ex that SOB. The first chapter gave me the impression that Jaemin is quite dark and has a negative view of the world, but this doesn’t seem to show thru his character?? This manhwa wasn’t as serious as I thought it would be. I have doubts that this is actually yaoi - it seems more like shounen ai to me but we’ll see… Jaemin is top-tier. C48 - holy shit, Juho's ex is actually insane 5-->4 This was a lovely read, but ngl I did end up losing interest later :(

P: Yoshikawa Haruki has a crush on his Watanabe Ryuusaki, his best friend since high school started. Haruki is a bit relieved that Ryuusaki is not good with girls, but suddenly a girl seems to have taken interest in him. O: C1 - oh god the second hand embarrassment AHHH. oh wait… it worked.. it actually worked.. This was an ok, light read - not bad but not exactly amazing.

P: For four years, Shougo Natsuka has loved his popular, perfect, and handsome classmate Hiro Hakushima. Out of fear of ruining Hiro's reputation, Shougo never confessed his feelings and remained his friend over the years. Now in college, Shougo has started sleeping with Seno, a sex friend that is the exact opposite of Hiro. Shougo settles into a life with staying by Hiro's side as his friend and releasing his urges on Seno. But, when Seno and Hiro experience a body-switch after an accident, will Shougo finally be able to touch Hiro through Seno's body? O: C6 - uh wtf is going on… lol I’m kinda lost. I don’t know what to believe anymore. C7 - yooo Seno was actually in their school?? oh wait... bruh... Seno was just a pro actor all this time lmao. He got me so good. Well played... well played... this was an intriguing read, but I didn't really like any of the characters... Natsuka and Seno are both creepy in their own ways. Natsuka seems pretty aggressive and bipolar. Natsuka is a pretty shtty person. Seno looks so sweet when he was in highschool - ordinary but sweet. It kinda bothered me how their bodies were relatively thin but ok.. all I can say is that this was a whirlwind of a manga lol.

P: KyoZaNa✿: Natsuki's dad suddenly passed away by truck accident. In his overwhelming grieving & confused of loss, Natsuki confessed & forced himself onto his older childhood friend Yuni!! ══ "We don't know when we're gonna die. It's fine even if it's just once.. I know I'm betraying you. I won't anymore, So.. Let me at least take this memory with me..! " ══ Though Natsuki is his "No. 1" but with that abruptly happened, Yuni frightened away in the pouring rain, caught a cold in bed for 3 days.. He got well just to find out Natsuki already disappeared! O: Meeeehhh. It didn't really stand out to me - the plot and art were mediocre. It was an ok read, but to call it good is an overstatement. The rape was also off-putting.

P: Ono Shizuka is a baker who got into an argument with his partner Sakai and fell off the stairs. He then gets amnesia, and can’t remember only Sakai. O: So beautiful, and heart-wrenching. Great ending, and is cute and fluffy. So many feels. Sometimes it pulled on my heart-strings, sometimes it ached.

P: One night, Hiyama, a police officer working in a small neighborhood police station, provides counselling for a college student, Okazaki, who had attempted to flash his body at people. Hiyama, unable to leave the naive Okazaki alone, who only resorted to what he did as he was unable to properly vent out his peculiar fetish, called out to Okazaki asking, "If you're fine with me, shall I keep you company?" And from then on, the days of their secret meetings kept from everyone in a unrecognized hotel began...?! O: It was an ok read, not my vibe tho... and the art didn't sit right with me

P: ⚣_Holic: At the tender age of 13 Asakura accidentally encounters his closest childhood friend Tachibana's intimate act with a woman. Feeling betrayed,he cuts off all his contact with Tachibana. Now that after 4 years they have been re-united in high school as dorm mates,he can't help but be wary of him & explore the unknown desires piling up in him. A Historical tale portrayed in a Breathtakingly Beautiful Melancholic way chiming the foreboding Heart Ache. O: BROO IF I COULD RATE THIS A 100 STARS I WOULD. This is so damn good. Although some elements of the story were predictable, e.g. it was so damn obvious that they were already both in love with each other at the very start, it didn't detract from the story. The art is seriously pleasing to the eyes. This is so beautiful... I originally thought this was a sad manga, but actually it's not - but it does make you cry. The ending was honestly perfect, albeit still depressing in a way. I was so worried there would be a tragedy, but the tragedy tag isn't here for a reason! Their intimate scenes were perfect as well. Everything about this manga was great. Rereading... gahhh this was a good read, can't decide if it's a 9 or 10

P: What would you do if your crush of many years suddenly got married?! After attending his beloved Saitoh's wedding, broken-hearted Nagai gets a little too drunk for his own good and lands himself in a hotel room with the bride's guest, Honda. To top things off, just when he thought he was getting over things he finds out that newlywed Saitoh's bride has run away. What will become of this developing love-triangle? O: Dayum he’s got 3 people fawning over him lol. What a chad. Meh this wasn't that good tbh... I didn't find myself attached to any of the characters tbh and the plot was meh. Nagai really should've seen clear limits with Saitou, their relationship is pretty weird. I'd be pissed if I was Honda honestly. Saitou seems so cute and angelic, but is very aware and cunning. Honda's personality didn't really stand out either.
