Kimi no Tabegoro

Complete | Yoriko | 2000 released

I'm normally a yuri reader, but this was cute, I'm glad I decided to give it a read. I typically try to be cautious with yaoi because I don't like forced feelings (i.e. ræpe culture, molestation, forced romance) but if yaois were more like this one, I'd consider switching sides lol. Really cute and simple read, loved the character designs and the personalities, it was a great read from beginning to end. This artist has also been added to my list because it looks like a fair bit of their yaoi is cute and harmless. Looking forward to seeing more from them in the future.

Bad Thinking Diary

Complete | Park do-han | 2019 released

The story was slightly a drag in the beginning with a very outused "I've got feelings for you but I won't tell you until the point where one or both of us gets hurt" trope, however the beautiful art made it worth pressing through the first couple of chapters. I feel like the ending was rushed maybe, there were one or two loose strings I would have liked to have seen get addressed, one huge one is with Hyera. She obviously has feelings for Yu-na that was thrown at the readers out of nowhere, addressed once, and then never brought up again, I would have loved to see more interactions with them both working through that obsession of Hyeras and potentially making up or parting ways once everything was out in the open. Hopefully there will be side chapters addressing this more and peering more into Hyeras background and giving us more clarity as to why she was so obsessed with Yu-na. Overall, I really started enjoying this manhwa nearing the middle and end, phenomenal art, beautiful character designs, and exciting storytelling (even with a cliché trope). Glad to see this artist get so popular from this and I hope to see more from them in the future.

Positively Yours

Complete | Lee jung,Kang ki | 2019 released

This is the quickest I think I've ever read a webtoom/ manhua. My go-to read is mostly yuri and shoujo-ai so I honestly did not expect to complete this one once I stumbled across it, but this was really one of the best romance webtoons I've read in a while. Not only is the art beautiful, but the story is so original and well written. It took insane creative courage to be able to stick with such a plot and be able to execute it beautifully until the very end, I never wanted to stop reading this. I normally leave at least one critique on all the stories I've read, and if I had one, it would probably be how frustrating the communication was for Doo-Jool and Hee-won. It caused a lot of their issues, but to be fair, this isn't really such an honest critique because those situations do happen in real life. I was hoping to have more closure with Hee-won and Min-Wook. A huge reason why she even went out to have a one night stand was because of him, so I'm a little underwhelmed with their development and communication. I hate that she never said anything and just let it fizzle out and die. All-in-all, this was such an emotional read, everything was beautifully done down to the characters, to the artwork, and even the side stories. I'm really hoping to see this artist and author return for more in the future.

Best Friends

Complete | 하빈유,삵 | 2000 released

I haven't read many alpha/omega-verse series let alone one that's a yuri, I'm still slightly confused about the whole pheromone and heat cycle thing, especially when betas are involved. I've reread this manhua twice because I felt like I needed to read it a second time in order to give a fair rating of it, and even then, I felt like 3 stars was overly generous. Not to say that is was a bad story, I just personally felt like it was narrated poorly, plus the poorly translated chapters near the end didn't help with that. I do believe this could have been a much better story if it was being told from Minjus point of view instead of Hayoons, the entire premise of Hayoon wanting to leave and get away out of fear of being abandoned never even hit me as a possible direction the manhua would have considered taking, such a cliché plot to use when the opposing character is almost always obsessed and in love with protagonist in question without there being a slither of doubt of how much they like the one trying so desperately to get over their feeling/ trying to leave. For me, the story would have done a lot better with us viewing it from Minjus perspective because we already know how she feels and what her end goal is, it would have made for a much more exciting story if we didn't know Hayoons intentions and we got cliffhangers with her just up and disappearing and us not knowing why or where she went. Overall, it wasn't the worse omegaverse I've read- though it might be one of the worse yuri-megaverse I've seen- but despite me being disappointed/ confused with the story and universe, I did still really enjoy every character that was introduced. I might give this manhua another read later down the line once I'm more familiar and comfortable with yuri omegaverse.

Bongchon Bride

Ongoing | Son Gae Pi | 2019 released

Goodness, this was such an amazing read for me. I loved Bongchon, his character design, his personality, his temperament, he was written so incredibly well, I resonated with him in so many chapters. Soongap grew on me, I kind of didn't like his character in the beginning, but the growth he developed with Bongchon was undeniably so perfectly written out. I'm so impressed with how the story led through the climaxes, it was so difficult to stop at the end of a chapter and not go to the next. I'm not much of a yaoi reader because of the excessive use of sexual force, so I also really appreciate the trigger warnings placed at the beginning of the few chapters that had it. I don't have a critique on this manhua, everything from the plot, to the characters, to the loose strings was done so well. No questions left unanswered, no characters left unredeemed, and those who deserved their happy ending eventually got it. I'm also glad we got to see off Pilgyeon, I loved his "redemption" (if that's what it could be called) at the end of the story. If we ever do get another series outside of Bongchons and Soongaps fishing story, I would love to see a short story about where Mokwon (the young mistress) and her lover went and how they're living. Of all the side characters, they were my favorite.

Easygoing Oyako

Ongoing | Taiyaki nakamura | 2019 released

At this point, I'm fully convinced the author wants to fuck their mother. Almost all their work revolvs around a daughter falling in love with her mother. That being said, I still gave this yuri 5 stars because outside of the incest (which, next to NTR, is a bottom tier genre for me personally) this manga was such a joy to read. I love to laugh so any comedy that's done right and actually makes me laugh out loud deserves high marks from me, regardless of the context. I loved the duos and the third wall breaks, I honestly don't think I would have had the stomach to read this if it wasn't for that. This artist has the potential to make some pretty phenomenal, stand-outish yuris if they ever let go of their mother complex. Overall, the story wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Every character is cute and I enjoyed scenes from every one of them, the progression (or lack of I guess) restores a little faith in me and is keeping me from dropping it- because the mother, for the most part, indulges in her daughters antics for the sake of wanting to be a better mother and not really understanding what all comes with that. Unlike their first story (1 x 1/2 My Half of You) where the mother from that story gave thought about dating and potentionally sleeping with her daughter. One other thing I don't quite like is the family tree. It seems Sayaka (the mother) married her first cousin on her dad's side and had a child (Yuuki) with him. Yeah, cultural differences, I understand, but was there any good reason to make that prominent not once, but twice so far? I hope this ends well, I like the story and the characters so far.

Breath Supreme Yuri Fetish Anthology

Ongoing | Taiyaki nakamura,Rion,Ayu inui,Namaniiku | 2019 released
2023-08-23 11:39 marked

I don't tend to leave comments on anthologies because of the different variations of stories, however I wanted to leave a few words, at the very least. I've read many anthologies, almost all of them I've fully enjoyed every chapter of. When it comes to this one... well... I don't think the chapters really hit the nail on the head with the title. For a yuri fetish anthology, I probably misunderstood the chapters, but none of them seemed to have anything to do with fetishes. Most of them seemed more like hidden romance or "finally, some alone time" kinda trope. With that being said, I still gave it 4 stars because I loved all of the authors who worked on this, and I actually really enjoyed their stories.

Teiji ni Agaretara

Ongoing | Inui ayu | 2000 released

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.

My Princess Charming

Complete | Teunteun | 2019 released

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.

You Are My Angela

Complete | Murasakino | 2019 released

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!
