hanaji's manga / #School Life(7)

A fun, cute comic with some angst mixed in. Sped through it pretty quickly without getting bored. I don't have many complaints besides the fact that this comic would have worked without Chum Sam being a vampire. It didn't hinder it in any way, but it did feel unnecessary, kinda like it was thrown in as an accessory. Gave it 4/5, but it's more like 3.5/5.

Quite a cute story. It got me going through chapter after chapter and my heart pounding. The art in the beginning isn't the best, but it becomes rather pretty later on. I really enjoyed all the falling out and development the characters went through--it made them seem genuine. Both Yeonduk's and Skyler's stories were interesting and I easily found myself rooting for them and booing the bad guys. It's a sweet coming of age story with some angst and drama mixed in. I don't have many complaints besides the fact that Yeonduk's feelings in the later chapters felt convoluted (though that honestly is the epitome of emotions at times lol), Skyler's pushiness was a bit unsettling and annoying, and I really wasn't into the ending. 100% romance isn't a must for me, but I would've at least liked them to have an intimate moment together, especially after all they went through. All and all, 4/5. Definitely recommend. I'll be revisiting this story.

Really, really liked this. You don't often see disability representation, especially not in Asian media. I have no complaints that I can think of. Overall, this was just a really goddamn cute story. The development of Yu and Kenji's relationship felt truly real and satisfying. I thought this was Shounen Ai going in, but quickly found out it's not To be honest, it's a bit refreshing. As much as I would've liked to see a pure, non-sexual relationship for once, seeing two guys in a close platonic friendship is just as nice. Adorable. 5/5.

A pretty cute comic. I enjoyed reading it. The characters are nice and likable enough, and the plot is rather lighthearted with some angst thrown in. Though the story definitely is a bit too long IMO. Could have been condensed. 80 chapters is a bit too much for a story that isn't super plot heavy. However, it's always refreshing to see m/m stories that don't center around tragedy (like being rejected by family for being gay) or sex. I don't have too much to say about it, but it's worth a read for sure. 4/5 stars.

kind of boring. really slowed down at the end, especially since i didn't care about any of the characters and wasn't interested in their side plots. the concept of the story (essentially yandere brother) is not new and i don't think this story really added anything significant to the trope. my trypophobia was also triggered over and over so that wasn’t pleasant. not a bad read, but really not worth it for the story length.
