Sugar ❀'s manga / #07-2021(26)

P: Kawachi's enjoying another day of watching (more like stalking) his favorite guy, the very nice Yuto Shinozuka, from the shadows. As he's peeping on Yuto putting away some stuff in the gym storage room, something unbelievable happens...! Caught witnessing Yuto showing his true self, Kawachi panics and blurts out that he'll keep quiet if Yuto pleasures him! Kawachi feels terrible because what he's doing is basically blackmail! But, he just can't help himself. A relationship that starts with blackmail... Can it work!? O: The start was yikes tbh, but it kinda got better as the story went on. It had nice light humour. Contrary to his appearance, Kawachi can be cute at times (albeit his stalker actions are somewhat questionable)

P: Although Seo Jin and Oh Joonghyuk have known each other since they were kids, they have always been cold towards one another. One day, Seo Jin realizes that he has Joonghyuk's name tag from middle school and falls asleep while reminiscing about the past... only to find when he wakes up that he is now inside Joonghyuk's body, the person whom he hates the most?! How will these two live from now on? Will they be able to switch their bodies back? O: Bruh I didn't see the completed tag.... dang this was pretty short. That time-skip ending was rushed.... I felt like this had potential to be a longer story. Was a nice read.... but want more...

P: Sano’s ambition is to be the school’s coolest guy, and has been gathering popularity among the female students day by day. However, there’s a wall that he just can’t overcome, and that is the second year, Azuma. Even with his notoriety for being a playboy, Azuma is still overwhelmingly popular, and that doesn’t sit well with Sano. Yowamushi Danshi, Renai Hajimemasu Spin-Off O: This is so good. A short but satisfying read. It felt kinda nice to read this after reading the story this spin-off came from. Pretty hot. It's amazing how Azuma manages to be both erotic and cute simultaneously. Their dynamic is cute xD

P: Under pressure from his parents, the popular BL writer applied to the liquor company "Beers." He didn't even have a speck, but he accidentally submitted an unreleased copy of his novel instead of a resume letter, which drew attention and made him pass the final exam! In particular, Baek Ho-ryeong, the president of the company, made a big mistake about the novel, and the illusion goes beyond favor and becomes love. Iro's first social life, which was firmly rooted in the spirit before he could adapt to the bitter taste of society he had never tasted. O: I liked this more than I expected! Very nice pacing and satisfying art (▰˘◡˘▰) Horyeong is so hot. I love the dynamics between Horyeong, Iro and the team-leader dude LOL xD C34 - uh.... did they really just use the cake as lube...? 5 --> 4, damn I kinda lost interest... f/ 36 Rereading.. lol this is amusing. C34 - ok I still think they shouldn't have done it since Iro is sick. Also first time spit, second time cake..??? Overall this was a cute, hot and funny read. Tbh I don't completely feel the chemistry btwn them, but it was a nice read nonetheless. It had good pacing.

P: Terrible things happening in succession has college student Sora down, leading him to get lost on his way home. When he tries to find his way back, he accidentally stumbles upon a man gazing at the stars (Kengo). They chat, and a connection between them starts to form. O: Pretty nice and cute! It's a slow-paced chill read. Felt slightly lacklustre ngl, but that's probs just me. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

P: Lonely high school student Youhei doesn’t belong to anywhere, be it his home or his school. That time, he ran into Ryou, a classmate who is also an ace in soccer club. The two were gradually drawn to each other, but… After an accident, their relationship was changed significantly. That was the beginning of a distorted pure love that would last for several years later… O: Felt a bit iffy about this, but I gave it another go. It's not bad, but the art style doesn't sit well w/ me tbh. Yikes ofc that girl was an b :/ Rather than calling it a feel good manga, it kept making me wanna cry tbh... lots angst. Some elements of the story were a bit eh.... but it was an ok read overall

P: One day at school, a friend shows Hiroto Kyono a new app called "Meet your Soulmate". However, Kyono is indifferent to love and doesn't believe in fortune-telling apps...until Kyono meets a guy on the train who looks exactly like how the app described his soulmate! Could this guy really be his soulmate? How can Kyono close the distance between them so they can become friends? And then something more? O: A cliche cute read. Didn't exactly appeal to me tbh (very bland imo) - I didn't really vibe/experience any feels, but I admit they're both pretty sweet.

P: “What are your thoughts on wearing a mask nowadays?” A romance is blooming between a suave salaryman and a kind-hearted punk (who happens to be the cutest convenience store clerk he’s ever seen)... but it’s hard to fall in love in the middle of a pandemic! O: Was an ok read, super tbh short, but felt well-paced. Kinda weird how they knew each others names, when they never introduced each other..? There were some potholes

P: Hinata's been in love with Hakuba since he was little and they used to perform together... now that they're both grown up though, Hinata is part of the "bad boy" boy band who?for marketing purposes?hates the pop duo Hakuba is in. Hinata's tried to hide his true feelings for Hakuba, but his group leader Takaomi sees right through him. Trying to help Hinata get it together on stage, Takaomi kisses him in front of all their fans during the live battle of the bands! O: Hinata and Takaomi are so sexy lol wtf... this is so hot... ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ I wonder how Takaomi can casually kiss Hinata in public tho...

P: Fynn has always been lazy: his favorite activities are skipping class, smoking, and lounging around. When his girlfriend breaks up with him, telling him to try doing something else for a change, he has no idea where to even start.One night, on a walk around the neighborhood, he comes across Niko stargazing on a hill. Niko wants nothing to do with this chain-smoking, loud-mouthed guy getting in the way of his astronomy— but Fynn is intrigued.What's up with this nerdy boy who loves to watch the stars, and why is Fynn so captivated by him? O: Ngl I wasn't expecting much since the cover didn't really appeal to me (I don't like the colours, it gives an old vibe), but this was actually a pretty good read! It's not all rainbows and sparkles, it's realistic - and that's what I love about this manga. I enjoyed the slow development btwn Niko and Fynn, and how supportive of a friend Zoe was, despite breaking up with Fynn, who ends up getting together with her friend Niko. This is a unique manga worth reading ^^ Technically is yaoi, since it has an NSFW scene, but is more like a shounen ai tbh. They seem to be a switch couple based off the vibes...? But who knows lol. Very nice pacing and plot.
