OnlyMes's manga / #GL(65)

This is how a one-shot should be done! For a short story, it was so incredibly well written! I loved the pace of the characters, the placement of tension, the mood, everything fit so well together! It's cute, it shows a development, not only that, but it gave the readers a glimpse of their future with us knowing at the very end how they both feel about each other without having to rely on fan service or cliché accidental hook-ups, this takes immense attention to detail when working on a romance one-shot so my hat's off to the author. Beautiful story, beautiful art, beautiful characters, I can't wait to read more from them in the future.

Too cute for words. Yuris like these are my absolute favorite, it's so nice to be able to comfortably read in public. I also really like yuris that don't need to rely on NSFW scenes to make a good story, this was so wonderfully done, I'm just sad about how slow it is. This is my first time coming across this artist, their art style gives me late 90's early 2000's style art, and I mean that with the most admiration. I loved the art style of this, I loved the characters, I loved setting, I would pay good money to have this turned into a full series. Hoping to see more from this artist in the future, but for now, this will definitely be a yuri I'll gladly revisit in the future!

This manga was really cute, but dang it, if I had a dollar for every time Kayoko or Kaori chose not to speak on their thoughts to the other person, I'd have enough money to buy the damn volume set. Literally every obstacle or challenge either of them faced in this manga was strictly because of a lack of communication. Talk to each other, let the other know how much you love them, let them know when something is troubling you, I never understood the whole "I'll just keep it to myself to avoid hurting you" cliché when that does literally more harm than good, especially if the other person has to find out about it indirectly. One or two times, I can relate, but EVERY time there was a conflict of interest it was because of a lack of communication. Other than that issue, I loved the story. I prefer yuris like these, ones that are cute and fluffy, ones that make my heart flutter. Kayoko was such an innocently cute character and Kaori was such a striking beauty. I really enjoyed reading through this, watching them grow and discover things about themselves and each other, and working through their problems. It tackled adult relationships so well, and I give it high marks for that. I was sad to see it end, but I'm so satisfied with the story's wrap up and conclusion. If there is a chance of this getting a side story, I would LOVE to see Kayoko and her friend Mahiro work through their problems they seem to have. I hate that it ended and we couldn't get closure from Mahiro, who's going to continue her life being in love with her friend who she knows she'll never have a chance with, let alone being able to truly confess to her out of fear of losing their friendship. She's been waiting by Kayokos side for years, I think she deserves happiness of her own so I'm very disappointed on where her story arch ended.

Super cute story and very easy to read. I really liked how it started off, but I didn't care for Yunas personality, however I do understand that her arrogance made the story what it was. I loved Mins character, that boyish style with a cool and coy personality is such a great character trope regardless of the content of the writing. If I have to leave a critique, it would be how Min ended up leaving her first love for Yuna. I don't believe fake lovers should end up together to make a good story, while I agree with the majority that Min's professor didn't deserve her, I personally didn't think Min deserved Yuna in that respect either. I would have loved for Yuna to have ended up with Seyun, but regardless of the outcome, the story itself would have still be good. Here's hoping we get a side story about the professor or even Seyun if we're lucky, I'd be thrilled to read more of this story.

It's hard to give fair ratings on one-shots, because there isn't really much to critique from just a few pages of context, especially one with such short dialog, however, given the small length of this chapter, it was still incredibly cute and simple to read. Not much to gather from the short conversations the two had in the story, and I personally don't care for openings where they throw you into the middle of the story without any context, but all in all I enjoyed reading through it. Cute, yet simple and I appreciate the extra page at the end focusing on the cap and the watch, it made going back to reread it a lot more detailed once you realized why a lot of senses focused on those two objects.

I finally realized why this artwork felt so comforting to me, it's been so long since I've read work by this author. I had forgotten all about them until a new manga just dropped by them and now I'm going back and rereading this again. Of all their short stories, this one is by far my favorite. The story is beautiful, the art is breathtaking, the scenery is phenomenally drawn, I felt like I was personally feeling the emotions of the characters while reading through this. I found myself in the process of holding back tears when I thought they wouldn't see each other again. Such an original story, I'm so disappointed that this was a one-shot, but for the author to convey the emotions, attraction, detachment, remorse, longing, regret, all of those feelings in a span of one chapter AND for it to make such a beautiful telling story from beginning to end deserves immense credit. I would love to see this story be turned into a full volume manga series, I would buy every single book.

Are they swimming with their school uniforms on? Outside of that, this short story was very cute. But I guess anything from this author is cute. I'm not a fan of stories left hanging at the end for readers to come up with their own conclusion of what's going to happen, but honestly, it doesn't make it a bad read, I'm just the type of person who likes closure. Even so, I still thought this yuri was very well done. This author always does such a good job making the readers experience the emotion their characters are conveying, and above anything else, that's what I really enjoy the most about reading their works. The mood, the tone, the scenery, everything always fits so perfectly together for the story that's being told and this author has yet to miss that mark when it comes to storytelling. It's a shame most of their works are one-shots, a lot of them deserve so much more than a chapter.

Oh my God, I have a wave of emotions going through me right now! This story is absolutely beautiful, I was holding back tears over the symbolism! I have no words, it feels like even trying to leave a review is so hard to do for me at the moment because of the emotions I've expressed while reading through this. Love is such a beautiful thing, and too much love could be a dangerous weapon. You have to be willing to sacrifice for the ones you love, but even those who love you can hurt you and still love you. There is so much that can be taken from this story, absolutely phenomenal story telling, the theme of this story fit so incredibly well with an angel having their wings cut off. I really can't express the sheer amount of emotions this story sent me through, the shock, the sadness, the heartfelt moments, and the softness of the art style made this unforgettable. I've always rated this author with pretty high marks for the artwork and originality with these one-shots alone, but this story put me into a place I never thought a yuri would put me in. I don't believe any other one-shot will ever be as beautifully written as this one, I have genuine tears in my eyes. I can't put into words how stunningly beautiful this story was, this is definitely one you do not want to skip over!

Cute and easy to read one-shot, the characters as so nicely drawn and I love the color scheme used for the lighting. The story showed all too real realities of where our minds can take us when we're with someone we love. I really love the fact too that the lighter haired girl never gave any thought to what's real or what's fake until the dark haired girl asked her why she wasn't afraid because even if what they're watching is fiction, it can resonate with you and make you think about the people in your reality. It wasn't scary for the lighter haired girl until she saw her lover in that situation, that was so beautiful. Always love the storytelling from this authors short stories, they're always done so well. Definitely a simple, yet good read that surprisingly pulls on your heart strings just a tad bit at the end.

Wow wow wow. I knew the author of these stories could get a little dark, but I greatly overestimate the tragedy tag. Even though, my God I still enjoyed reading through it. The chapter with Miki and her childhood crush was so amazing, that plot twist at the end had me speechless, I had to go back to reread the entire chapter over again just to make sure I wasn't confused. I got literal chicken skin when I made it to the end of that chapter and realized what actually was happening. Like I've always said when rating these kinds of works, this author does a PHENOMENAL job telling such thrilling and interesting stories with just a one-shot. The sheer amount of raw emotions I was experiencing reading through some of these stories is unmatched, and the fact that the author can give me that with just 15 to 20 pages of art to tell such a breathtaking story is incredible. Anyone who can rate these stories anything less than 5 stars likely just underestimated the tragedy tag because, like myself, you wouldn't think art this cute and innocent looking would hold darker meanings. But for the people who enjoy that kind of genre and take the tags to heart, I can't see them rating this anything but 5 stars.
