500-nen No Itonami
P: Yamada Torao commits suicide after the loss of his lover and wakes up from suspended animation 250 years in the future. The android tasked with assisting him that treats him kindly and with tender care is the disappointing robot of his former lover at a "30% reduction"...? An intense future love story about a stubborn young man who learns to accept love and pursues his aspirations. O: So touching and beautiful, a masterpiece. The plot is really interesting. 10/10 Rereading... bro it made me cry again... whilst it is a rather simple read tbh - not much worldbuilding/explaining happens, it is still touching. Ofc it has quite a bit of plotholes, but it was an enjoyable read nonetheless!
Yukidoke no Koi
P: KeraQ [31966]: 1-5, 8) Sumito was on his way to a cherry blossom picnic when he spotted in the distance a man (32) crying. This man (Someya) looked familiar, turns out he is a teacher at Sumito's high school. Sumito spends his breaks with sensei and they talk about books.. Slowly, Sumito is falling for his sensei. 6) Yamashita works as a part timer and had to bring his drunk colleague Seto to his house. Seto threw up on him, kissed him and called for Megami while crying. Yamashita is in the closet so he didnt get his hopes up until he found out Megami is a man. 7) Sad story of Yuu was in love with Asaya went they went to school but he never confessed. They meet again after 10-12 years but it is too late for them to be together. O: Beautiful art, heartwarming, tragedy. bittersweet, a bundle of many feels. Rereading... bruh what was I smoking?? This is not a tragedy LMAO, chapter 7 was... sht man... not a tragedy but definitely bittersweet... that is pure pain... This was a good read, but didn't feel like a 5/5 (used to rate 9.5 btw) 5-->4
Kurayami Ni Strobe
P: Sakaki Arata and Miyamoto Shoutarou have always been close friends, they even live near each other. Arata likes to take pictures of the other boys and then to sell them to the girls. He secretly eavesdrops the confessions that Miyamoto receives, and after doing that he behaves as if nothing happened. Each time Shoutarou rejects those confessions saying that he's busy with club activities, but what if this time he says that he already has someone else that he likes? O: The art is nice, this is sweet, cute, and interesting! ^^ Rereading, this wasn't amazing, but it was an alright read - too sweet for me lol. It low-key felt like a drag to finish this 5-->4
Sorenari ni Shinken nandesu
P: Oosawa had known Yoshioka for a long time... As his customer, Yoshioka came in and out of the shop with different boyfriends all the time. He thought he knew fully well what kind of man Yoshioka was. But when tragedy hit Chizu, his one and only daughter... and his capability as a single father was questioned... Yoshioka came out of nowhere and offered help. Slowly but sure, Oosawa learned that the man he despised was very different than what he appeared to be! O: Love it! It’s a heartwarming story, sweet, cute and adorable, and Chizu ^^ It is funny how Naoki reacts to Yoshioka, when he says dirty jokes/stuff. I like how Chizu is a strong girl, and she isn’t just some bratty petulant kid. I feel really sad for her, and am a bit mad that Naoki decided to allow Kana to take care of Chizu, and he didn’t consider Chizu’s feelings. Chizu is an innocent, smart kid :( I hate Kazu he is the prime example of an annoying bratty kid. Rereading. I agree with my previous comment! This is such a good read! LMAOOO Yoshioka is such a sweet guy, but man he really has a bad rep xD Omfg I can't get over how Naoki decided that Chizu should live with her mum from now on w/o consulting anyone about this... Chizu doesn't look happy at all :'( BRUH HOW TF DID CHIZU DISAPPEAR?? WHAT ARE FAMILY DOING OMFG! Thank god she made it to a familiar place.
Two Colors
P: The first time Tsujiya met Hayashi, it wasn’t a pretty sight, at least for him. He had his clothes blotched with paint and was blown away by his senpai’s frankness. Tsujiya asked Hayashi whether he could practice in the studio once in a while. Before they knew it, their relationship started to blossom. O: Slightly interesting how their personalities are slightly different. It’s sad how there aren’t any further chapters :(
Blue Sky Complex
P: Narasaki who only wanted a place where he could sit and read a couple of books was blackmailed by his teacher to supervise the delinquent Terashima while working as the school library's receptionist. O: Pretty good!
